Basically, my program will try to generate the list of all possible lowercase 5-letter words. Including all combinations that clearly are not real words like jshcc or mmdzq.
I do that by stacking up a massive amount of calls for a function, which does the word work.
But that's simply too much, and I get a stack overflow error.
I created a program that watches about 10 folders for different excel files. Using the filesystemwatcher with filters in place and correct error handling, it still misses some files once in a while (that's ok I guess).Anyways, I'm writing this because I added another form that has a filesystem watcher, when I tried to load the form I got a stack overflow error - an error that isn't debugged (a greenish line that you can only stop debugging).Am I going about this a wrong way? Is filesystemwatcher unreliable with large amounts of processing?
View 1 RepliesI am wondering if anyone has any idea how to make the controls stack and fill up the available space left by a control if the control is hidden or removed from the UltraGridBagLayoutPanel.
Example:
[Textbox 1]
[Textbox 2]
[Textbox 3]
[Textbox 4]
[Textbox 5]
If I hide [Textbox 3] as of now, it will disperse the space left equally and pad the remaining text boxes with the space. However, I would like it to do this...
[Textbox 1]
[Textbox 2]
[Textbox 4]
[Textbox 5]
Where all the text boxes will move up and [Textbox 4] will completely consume the space left by [Textbox 3].
I just know it works. So as a personal project I'm trying to learn in VB/C# all about Cryptographic methods and how to use those techniques to encrypt and decrypt files. [code]

View 9 RepliesDoes .NET have built-in techniques for more complicated forms of iteration like the following:
1. Iterate over rearrangements of a list.
2. Iterate over subsets of a list.
3. Iterate over all indexes of a multidimensional list.
4. Iterate over all "combinations" of a list, i.e. all subsets of a list of a given length, where subsets that differs only in their ordering occur only once total.
I recently had cause to do (1) and my method was ugly, slow, tedious, and generalized poorly, which is why I ask. I can think of better ways, but it was garbage code anyway [brute force checking that there are precisely 576 seven-digit numbers made up of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 that are also divisible by 11]. The others are just for my own curiosity.
While I've mainly been developing small applications for personal use, I stumbled upon making a touchscreen application for a close friend. While he is not very good at programming, he is pretty well at drawing/etc... So, I thought about expanding my horizons some.I already have code that loads images from a folder, and made that folder changeable via the program, so in effect, probably a horribly coded way of skinning some parts of the program (the buttons). But then I though about it some more and really wanted to learn a better way to make my programs 'expandable'.I have begun searching about how to make a program that can be used with plugins, how to make plugins, and so on... I am researching about dynamically changing controls and other things, so that when resolutions change, I don't have to code each individual buttons new size/location, and, most importantly, a way to implement patching/app upgrades...
View 2 RepliesI have adopted a technique where I pass existing objects to forms so that they can display the object's content and allow the user to alter it if necessary. The form is not bound to the object, so when it comes time to act, the form sweeps up the content of its controls and puts them into the object. The object is then validated and any issues reported to the user. If the object is valid, it may be handed back to the caller so the caller can refresh a view/list/etc.
So far, so good. However, if the form's content, or lack of, creates an invalid object and the user does not correct it, maybe cancelling the form, there's a chance the form will hand an invalid object back to the caller. This is not good.
Essentially I'm looking for an elegant and efficient way of either leaving the object as it was or rolling back if the user cancels the form/action.
I have considered a range of techniques, each with many pros and cons. I'm keen to consider some other views.
I have the following "contact" data (exampled below) stored in an xml file.I've created a frmContacts windows form and placed a list box control inside it.I'm new to the list box but plan to have the users manage the list by letting them add, delete, and pick from it. For searching there should also be a sort function/button (by last name then first name).If the user deletes from the list the corresponding data in the file will be deleted.If the user picks from or adds to the list, I'd like to find the best way to populate the corresponding data elements on another form (i.e., in their respective text boxes). This will include the ability to edit/save from this other form too.

I'm currently debugging a form that sets a flag when the mouse button is pressed, then clears the flag when the mouse button is released. As long as the mouse button is pressed, the user can move the mouse around and a few things happen depending on where they move. One of the things that happens is that a timer starts, or stops, and a few things change color depending on the mouse position. The timer starts when it should, then stops when it should, but once stopped, it is not re-starting when it should. I can verify that MouseMove events are getting through, because coloring changes as I move the mouse, as it should. This would be a simple thing to debug...except that it requires the darn mouse button to be down, and it uses the mouse move event. Anybody who has put a breakpoint in a mouse move event handler knows the issue: There are THOUSANDS of them. Worse yet, since the mouse button is necessary for switching to the IDE, as well as setting a breakpoint (technically, a keyboard shortcut could do this if I could shift focus), I can't wait for the problem to happen, then switch to the IDE and set a breakpoint to see what is happening then.Does anybody have any tips or techniques for debugging in mouse move events when the mouse button is down and has to stay that way? As it is, I'm going to have to write some funky code into the method just so that I have a place to get a breakpoint when I need it without breaking on every one of the mouse move events.

View 3 RepliesSo I have a relatively small website with growing amounts of data - the fastest growing table is pageviews, as we do all our analytics ourselves. The website is made using VB.Net, SQL Server 2008 and jQuery. I am limited to .net 2.5.I currently handle all the data and validation using objects with a list of attributes. Each attribute is of a specific datatype and has a validation function when a new value is given to it. If the data does not validate then it won't even get as far as updating the database and feeds back an error to the user. Currently I have "Manager" classes and "Item" classes - Items are managed by a particular Manager class, for example Users are managed by the UserManager, so to get all the users I just have to call UserManager.Items. These Manager classes are stored in the cache and are created as needed - but once a Manager class is referenced it creates all of the Items within it. This is getting rather slow now, as the company is growing fast. It takes 2 - 3 seconds to load the first page (the page which makes most first-time requests to data) but I am not happy with this time. After that it is nearly instant.
Now the way I see it I have 3 options to speed the website up: Keep it as it is, but try to make it more efficient through other techniques;Change to creating all these objects on every page load, in the hope that it is simply so slow because I am using the cache to store a fair amount of data (about 10 MB or so at least);Forgetting using object oriented techniques and just use straight SQL queries and loop through records.
In your actual programming experience, how did this knowledge of STACK and HEAP actually rescue you in real life? Any story from the trenches? Or is this concept good for filling up programming books and good for theory?

I've started using .Net's stack collection. The basic features I guess are the "pop" and "push", where you add or take off the top element of the stack (if you are referencing other elements in the stack then another collection type is probably better).[URL]..it appears that the Stack collection (like other collections) is basically an array with some window dressing (so you actually can see other elements). As far as I can tell, "popping" and "pushing" is changing the first element of the array. Shouldn't instead the final element be the "top" of the stack and be the one that is changed? Otherwise the program has to reindex all the other elements in the array every time a pop or push is made. This seems very inefficient. But this is what Microsoft's description appears to be saying what is happening.
View 10 RepliesMy problem is that i need log the stack call. I know that i can put a breakpoint in code and choose the debug menu option "call stack", But that is not a solution for me, because i need all the methods called by the application, not only the last until the breakpoint.

I have five text boxes off to the side of my program that shows what is on the stack as you iterate through the equation. I'm wondering if it's possible to make these textboxes set to display what is at a certain index of a stack.
For example, if I pushed a "(" onto the stack, I would like the top box of my textboxes to update and show a "(". When something else is pushed onto the stack, say a "/", I would like the "(" to be displayed in the second box down, and the "/" to be displayed in the top box now.
I did alot of work then I suddenly get this error message
View 2 RepliesWe have this funky little ObjectDisposedException happening now and again. But only on production machines, of course ... can't recreate the issue on my dev unit. So I trotted on out to the Microsoft site to see what members of this exception I could use to figure out what's going on. Microsoft says that one of the members is StackTrace. I double and triple checked that I'm looking at .Net 1.1 information as I'm pretty sure that's what I'm using (how can I check that?). Here's the page I found - [URL]
So I go back to my program to write something useful to the event log so I can figure out what's going on. And when I look at the members of the ObjectDisposedException available to me I only see the following: GetBaseException, GetType, InnerException, Message, ObjectName, ToString.
what happened to my StackTrace member? I sure could use it if I could figure out how to get to it.
As a learning experience I decided to try and implement the Shunting Yard Algorithm(string calculator) using OOP. It was successful for as far as I took it, but it had one flaw. In order to get the stack to be accessible from the operators I had to declare it as shared, which meant that all versions of the calculator shared one stack. This very short piece of code illustrates what I came up with and the "flaw". [code] How can I maintain the functionality of anOP.add1 without declaring "something" as shared?

I'm writing this program in Visual Basic .NET to organize different fields of data, and I'm using profile slots through application settings to store the data for users. But, I ran into a stack overflow error in my SlotSelect.vb class. My best plausible guess for why this happens is that I'm using the wrong kind of variable container in the below sauce code, but my dilemma is that I don't know what specifically is going wrong.The code that the vshost is saying is the cause for the overflow was written from some code that I looked up on MSDN and other places for referring to objects in other classes, and I tried using other variants of it to see if it was any different. So far, nothing has worked, and it doesn't stop the error while compiling, much less in the code markup--it only catches it when it starts the application in debug after it finishes building

- The second element that the user enters (UserResponse) should be in Label2 etc.... up to label5.

In the context of the CLR in .NET how is stack space allocated and what is it typically limited by? For example: Can any given thread continue to add to the stack until memory runs out? If not; how does the CLR decide how much space to allocate and can it change its mind?

I am trying to make a calculator to calculate how many sheets of a product of varying thickness to put into a stack and how many stacks are required to make a whole pack, taking into account that some packs have no cover sheets and some have one at the bottom only and some have top and bottom.
As you can see there are a few variables and to make it harder is the way the stacks are made. No stack can be over 180mm and the last two stacks are halved to make the last two an even height (roughly).
I have a For Next loop and this would be okay if it wasn't for the 2 odd stacks at the end and the cover sheets.
This is what I have anyway.
