Sharing Memory Between Applications?
May 11, 2009
I have to implement some way of communication between 2 applications:
Program 1 is receiving data at a relatively high rate (sometimes up to 100k in a second). This application receives the data, does only very few computations and saves the received data to disk for later in-depth-analysis or just recall.
Program 2 shall do some real-time analysis on the same data which may at some point become rather complicated.
It is necessary to split up the 2 tasks into separate programs because the data has to be saved under all circumstances and without losses. Program 2 is still in a development phase, it has to be improved, recompiled, debugged. This shall not disturb the data collection and archiving.
Since application 2 has to go through all the data that program 1 receives it would be slowing down everything very much if the programs had to communicate e.g. via TCP. Therefore I am looking for ways to have some shared memory or whatever else might make it possible for P2 to access the data collected by P1 without too much overhead.

Sharing applicaiton settings across many applications
View 7 Replies
Apr 28, 2011
I have several different applicaitons that were originally created with Visual Studio 2005 / .net framework 2.0 / Windows XP that got common settings from an App.Config file on a network share. Each of these applications has an app.config file with the following:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<configuration>
<appSettings file="\fileServerconfigcommon.app.config" >
</appSettings>
</configuration>
I am now trying to make these applications work in a Windows 7 / .net framework 3.5 / Visual Studio 2008 environment and can't seem to access the settings in \fileServerconfigcommon.app.config in the same way the old environment allowed. I'm wondering if there is some new way to do this. I need to have the applications read their settings from a common file on the network share (having the applications take their own copy is not accpetable).

I have an 8 bit digital output board used for device controlling. Each external device needs one bit and is controlled by a different application.I have written a class library and the class DigitalOutputPort (VB 2010) that envelopes the driver that manages the 8 bit port. Each device application uses this class, creating its own instance.
In order to set a bit of the digital output port, I have to write a byte to that port: this byte is the bit mask for all 8 bits together: to set HIGH the bit number 0 - 1 - 2, I have to write 7 on the port, to set HIGH all 8 bits, I have to write 256, and so on...
All works fine when only ONE application uses the class. But if two applications want to set its own bit on that port, I get problems because I do not know the current value of all bits set by other applications (the driver has not such function) and, of course, I cannot change one bit without changing all the other (if I do not know the current bit mask)
Normally this looks like a typical case of sharing data between two application and my first idea was to write the current value of the port in a file on the disc, where all application can access and read it. But it seems to be too much heavy for this simple problem. Moreover it could also creates performance ans reliability problem.
Then I though about using a shared field (property) in the class. A shared field preserves its value between all instances of a class: but is it also true between instances from different applications? I cannot find more info about this last point, I have to make same test.
A third way would be that I create just only ONE instance of the class DigitalOutputPort, one for all applications.The first application that needs it, create the object, all other applications will used the already created object.I like more than other this way, but I do not know if and how it can be done.

Im getting a problem with one of my programs I have made in visual basic.NET where it gives me a memory error when i debug the program in the IDE. the exact error is this: "Attempted to read or write protected memory. This is often an indication that other memory is corrupt". My program basically has a few forms with text fields on that get their text values from an access database on the same hard drive. Im wondering if im doing something wrong because my program just seems to eat up memory whenever it does anything. For example I have one form that has a combobox on it and when you change the drop down list selection it retreives a few strings from the database and puts them into the relevant text boxes, if you keep changing the selection then the memory usage (in task manager) just keeps going up and up. occasionally I get the error mentioned above when debugging but in my built version of the program it throws an exception everytime the memory usage gets past 49K.
Also I noticed when debugging in the "immediate window" frame I get the following message often:A first chance exception of type 'System. Invalid OperationException' occurred in System.Data.dll...Do I need to somehow be "releasing" the memory that is used to gather data once it becomes redundant?

I have a BackgroundWorker object that I instantiated to perform a DB process on a background thread ansynchronously. I have event handlers for DoWork and RunWorkerCompleted. I can tell that the BackgroundWorker is disposing of itself because I added a message box into the Disposed event handler.Is it necessary to detach the event handlers to ensure that the memory is cleaned up and that there are not memory leaks?

I've noticed that every time I start a new thread in my program, the memory usage jumps about 1000k and it never goes back down. I have ensured that the thread is no longer running, and only one instance of my worker thread is ever running at a time. I am using ThreadPool.QueueUserWorkItem and ASyncOperation to get stuff done. The program starts using a Sub Main in a module that uses STAThread; I read that using STAThread instead of MTAThread makes it impossible for the Garbage Collector to get in and consider objects for garbage collection. However, when I change the STAThread to an MTAThread, the WebBrowser control in my frmMain cannot be instantiated.
I get this exception:
Code: An unhandled exception of type 'System.Threading.ThreadStateException' occurred in System.Windows.Forms.dll
Additional information: ActiveX control '8856f961-340a-11d0-a96b-00c04fd705a2' cannot be instantiated because the current thread is not in a single-threaded apartment. I do threading with the WebBrowser control, so will using MTAThread fix my problem? If so, how should I partition my code so that the WebBrowser control won't be affected by the above exception? I call the thread repeatedly with a timer (although only one instance ever runs at a time), and my program's memory usage starts at about 5000k and can jump to 300,000k+ depending on many times the thread needs to be called.

I cannot use Visual Basic 2008 at all. When I go to "new project" and choose "Windows Form Application" I get this error.I have tried multiple uninstall/reinstall with no result.A microsoft reply to this suggested that I needed: " .NET Framework 2.0 Service Pack 1 " I checked, and I did not have the .netframework 2.0 service Pack 1.
When I tried to download and install the above from Microsoft.com, the istaller said that "it was not allowsed" and I was not able to install the service pack 1.
I tried Uninstalling net framework 3.5, 3.0, 2.0 and then reinstalling .netframework 2.0 sevice pack 1; then reinstalling Visual basic 2008 express edition. At the reinstall of Visual basic 2008, .netframework 2.0 sevice pack 1 is unistalled by .net framework service pack 2.When I check the foruims for simiar problems, the formus are mostly for Visual basic 5.0, or other programs that I do not have.
Here is the programs I have installed:
Operating system: Windows XP
Microsoft .net framework 1.1
Microsoft .NET framwork 1.1 Hotfix(KB928366)
Microsoft .Net Framework 2.0 Service Pack 2
[code]....
All the security updates and hotfixes for Widows XP.

how to make projects which span multiple files and classes just fine. I've had big multi-file things working.I've been told explicity that my classes have to be private...yet at the same time I'm supposed to have a main method elsewhere and somehow call a menu in my main working file.I can get the program working perfectly when I do it in a logical manner but I just can't figure out how to call a private sub. I keep getting the error reference to a non-shared member requires an object reference.I've tried breaking the rules a bit and making one initial sub which is public, shared, etc... but all this does is delays the error until it tries to call its first private sub.

How can I have code-sharing between two projects without making a dll?
The issue is: I have a tool that syncs users & groups from LDAP to a database.
Now the tool is a windows service, but testing it as such is very difficult and time consuming.
Which is why I made a console application where I can test the LDAP syncing, and then just copy the respective sourcecode-files over to the service project.
But... keeping the common files in sync is a bit of a problem. I don't want to make a dll, because this probably creates me a problem with the 3rd project, a windows installer (for the service) where I have to use ExecutingAssembly path...
Is there a way to share the code without making a separate dll? Automagic statical linking, so to say ?

I'm doing my dev work on a Window 7 x64 machine, deploying to a Windows 2008 x32 server. At the moment I'm adding WCF services to some internal apps so that we can build smaller clients using net.tcp bindings that report to the user what the server is doing without running multiple instances of the server. To cut back on how much administration the apps will require, I tried enabling port sharing on my first server app. I'm using the app to self-host the WCF service so they can be easily moved from one server to another if necessary. Here's the code starting the server:
Dim _service_host As ServiceHost
Dim active_server_address As Uri = New UriBuilder("net.tcp", "localhost", CInt(My.Settings.ServerPort)).Uri
[Code].....
I get the following error when I put a breakpoint at the last line: Unable to automatically step into the server. Connecting to the server machine 'nettcpportsharing' failed. The requested name is valid, but no data of the requested type was found. The Try...Catch block housing that code says the exception type is AddressAlreadyInUseException...but when I run netstat I don't see anything else listening on that address. There's no occurrence of 'nettcpportsharing' anywhere in my solution. I've checked to make sure that the Net.Tcp Port Sharing service is started.

I am working with several RFID readers that perform different function in my vb.net program. Currently each reader port number is hard coded into the respective form. For example, reader 3 operates on COM1. However, this will be problematic when installing on different machines.
What I would like to do is have a "configuration" form where the user can select each reader and then select the COM port. Then all other code references these settings. What would be the best approach for this.
The only way I know to do it currently is to place this information in a small database and then have the forms reference that database, but it is a lot to do for such a seemingly trivial task.

Problem with WCF and Multiple Namespaces.The major difference I am having is that I don't control both ends of the wire.My setup is similar to this:[code]The first thing you do is login via the login service and receive a security ticket. The ticket object is located in the My.Objects namespace. For each subsequent call in My.Service1 and My.Service2 you have to pass in the security ticket to authenticate the call. The issue I am having is that instead of the client (a .net one for now but Java and others in the future) seeing one My.Objects.Ticket the references are resolving as My.LoginService.Ticket, My.Service1.Ticket, and My.Service2.Ticket. When the client tries to pass the object retrieved during login to any other function it is receiving an object mismatch error.How can I make each service resolve objects to the My.Objects namespace?

I am trying to figure out how to seperate my business logic from my forms. This is my first attempt at doing this, but I would like to figure out how to handle events from multiple forms within a class. I have found myself routinely writing the same logic over and over in each form class and its time I figure out how to completly seperate out that logic in winforms so I can reuse the methods across all of my forms.
So basically I have this click event in form1:
Private Sub btnSubmit_Click(sender As System.Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnSubmit.Click
