I need to wait for and event within a given period (30s) and then timeout if this time elapse. I am sending a command to a server from a dll, and I need to wait for response before sending another. I want to implement a timeout feature, that why I need to use a timer. I want to use a timer, but don't know how to use it in a DLL.
View 2 RepliesDows anyone know how I can build a timeout feature into a windows forms app.
The app is event driven, but I am thinking of somehow using a timer which counts down for say 10minutes, and one the timer ticks then we time out the user.
The problem I have is how can I reset the timer each time the mouse is moved or clicked.
I always liked the WindowsShade utility on the Mac. Is there some sample code on how to do the same thing in VB.Net or C#.Net for Windows.
I have implemented it myself for a single app, but I would like to have it work for any window..
I'm planning to create an application that counts the number of calls recieved based on the type of calls. For example: When a person gives a call an audio menu provides various options. If the person choose option 1 then the count value under option 1 will increment;If the person choose option 2 then the count value under option 2 is incremented, ect, ect,ect.
View 5 RepliesI have written a dynamic database driven, object oriented website with an administration frontend etc etc. I would like to add a feature where customers can save items as "favourites", without having to create an account and login, to come back to them later, but I dont know how exactly to go about doing this... I see three options:
Log favourites based on IP address and then change these to be logged against an account if the customer then creates an account;
Force customers to create an account to be able to use this functionality;
Log favourites based on IP address but give users the option to save their favourites under a name they specify.
The problem with option 1 is that I dont know much about IP addresses - my Dad thinks they are unique, but I know people have had problems with systems like this.
The problem with 1 and 2 is that accounts have not been opened up to customers yet - only administrators can log in at the moment. It should be easy to alter this (no more than a morning or afternoons work) but I would also have to implement usergroups too.
The problem with option 3 is that if user A saves a favourites list called "My Favourites", and then user B tries to save a list under this name and it is refused, user B will then be able to access the list saved by user A because they now know it already exists. A solution to this is to password protect lists, but to go to all this effort I may as well implement option 2.

I have written some code (VB.net) which simply runs a backup on all required servers and databases in a loop. The code works perfectly, except for the first backup which Timeout's after 30 seconds (even with my Connect Timeout=0).

I have written a page with an iFrame that basically cycles through a series of internal pages on our server displaying daily activity for our company. The problem I think is that it sporadically loses its session and redirects back to the login screen to keep losing its session which is the default behavior for anyone on our site trying to access a webpage without being logged in.
I have set the session timeout to 4hrs, the iframe cycles through 6 pages anywhere from 10 seconds to 5 minutes on each, and I have even set the META refresh on the page to refresh every 3 hours. I don't understand what else could possibly stop this page from staying active.

In this situation, my application can connect to the MSSQL server in one of two ways; via a direct TCP/IP connection (WAN) (IP's filtered using RRAS in 2003 Server) or via a VPN connection. The application will first try to open the connection using the WAN connection string and if it can't, then it tries using the VPN connection string. My issue is, I set the connection timeout to 5 seconds for the first attempt but it's taking way longer than that to return an exception. The order in which I attempt to open the connection doesn't really matter. I have looked at the ConnectionTimeout property after changing the connection string and it does indeed show 5 seconds. It appears that the connection timeout value is being ignored.

I'm trying to use a socket to connect a TCP stream. The socket connects no problem if the endpoint has a valid IP associated to it. If I give it an invalid one, the Connect method will sit and block (I want it to) for 10-20 seconds before telling me the remote host timed out. Is there a timeout property I can set so I don't have to wait that long for the connect method? Or is there another way of doing it that does implement a timeout?

I'm using sqlbulkcopy to load data into a sql2008 database, and we're getting timeout errors loading larger tables. Some tables which were loading OK are failing since indexes have been added to them. The source data is a Informix datareader. I've tried setting large values in both the connection timeout and the sqlbulkcopy.bulkcopytimeout, but the timeout usually occurs within 60 seconds, well below the timeout values I've set (240 secs). I've tried setting the .bulcopytimeout property to zero but it makes no difference. Very occasionally a load will take place - the last large table to load took 7 minutes. I've reduced the batch size to 500.
The documentation on bulkcopytimeout that I have found does not describe what the property actually means - is it the maximum time to complete the entire copy or to complete one batch or what ?Here's some extracts from my error log - the first shows a successful large table load, follow by timeout failures.

I have created a little application to move some files around and put them into a database. This is working well except that the application needs a timeout. If my app has not completed the task within 2 hours it re opens and locks out everything. I need to say that if my application has been open for 2 hours close it. One thought was can you set a time out in an application.

But I copied the pages to the news server and created new application pool/website Call OldASPPAGES I get ODBC timeout on 'ExecuteNonQuery()' function below. Sometimes I works but 9 of the 10 cases I gettimeout. I checked the records and there are 247 records. But below you see there are 2 sql statements composed per Each loop. (update and insert)... 2 x 247 records = approx. 500 records.
But since the sql statement is concantenated so 1 call of ExecuteNonQuery, executue does do 500 SQL Statements.... I know this is GARBAGE, unacceptable.... But I inherited so for the moment I can't rewrite that.To the point:Below are the original statemenst: I have just added : conn.ConnectionTimeout = 240As you can see I've added 240 seconds, but I still get timeouts after approx. 30 secs... so this is not the right place.... question:- Why does this statement work in old ASP environment (without problem) and not in this environement in an IFRAME.
