Timing A Method From Execution To Completion?
Mar 6, 2012
So, I got an SSD drive for my computer the other week, and decided to have a little fun. I wrote a program which starts every single program in the Windows Programs folder in the Start Menu, via clicking the "Go" button on my Form. It works beautifully. Only thing I would like to add to it is some sort of timer, which I have never tried in any programming language. I would basically like for a timer to be running, counting in real time (seconds), until my loop ends, and then display the total time taken at the end. I was thinking about setting a variable equal to the current time, before the loop starts, and then another equal to the time right after it ends, and then taking the difference of the two.

Why does this code works for the first few then gives timeout on all the rest ? VB removed, resolved like when i run it with say 50 threads, the first few work fine but then the rest after that all time out, i have tryed moving the ones that work to the bottom of the list but they still timeout after the first few are done.

I have a BackgroundWorker in a vb.net program that is doing a lengthy data import routine. I want to modify its RunWorkerAsync method so that it fires a custom event on completion of the method. (So that a method in an automated process can respond to the event and resume its work). In a sense I want to 'extend' the RunWorkerAsync method to add an extra line of code--but I can't 'see' the code in the method (to just add the line raising the event) because BackgroundWorker is an MSDN class from Microsoft.The only solution that I can think of is to 'wrap' the background worker class in a wrapper that calls the .RunWorkerAsync method and then raises the event.
Public sub wrapperMethod()
myBackgroundWorker.RunWorkerAsync()
raise customEvent
end sub
Is there a design pattern that I might use? An easy way to address this with the .net language?
PS: Unfortunately, I'm automating some clanking legacy software and backgroundworker is used in many locations, so wrapping the backgroundworker will be a bit of work and may open bugs.

Will the CopyDirectory method fully execute (copying hundreds of thousands of files) before the next iteration of the loop if I have the following pseudocode?
For Each foundDir as String In GetDirectory _
(sourceDir, True, wantedDir)
CopyDirectory( foundDir, destinationDir, true)
Next

my application has integrated an external library with long running math-evaluations. It happens that some calls to functions in this library start but do never come to an end.
Unfortunately I have no chance to look examine the behaviour of the library. So I got the idea to stop my function calls to the library after a timeout.
Has anybody an idea how to manage this an to control the execution of a function, i.e. to stop it hardly after a certain time?

OK, I have this loop I want to perform which involves the serial port. Not to get too specific I'm actually sending data to an external device within a loop The loop involves a Start number, increments by a Step and ends when it gets to Stop This repeats until I click a STOP button.

I have a stored procedure that when I run it within my application it times out, but when I use Management Studio and pass in the same exact parameters, the stored procedure executes under a second. I had this exact same issue with the same stored procedure before, and all I did was recompile it, and it fixed the problem, but I do not want to keep having to recompile this stored procedure every few days or so. Has anyone else ran into this issue before?
Another note I would like to mention, is that I'm currently working on a test database, so I'm not inserting, deleting or updating any of the records that the Stored Procedure is using. So the database itself is not changing, but for some reason the Stored Procedure is showing degradation, and at the most we have 2 users in the database at a time.
Below is the code I use to call the Stored Procedure from my app.
cmd.CommandText = "sp__RECAP_SELECTION_GET_GRID_RECORDS_RECAP_TYPES"
cmd.Parameters.Add("@FK_KitchenID", SqlDbType.SmallInt).Value = cmbKitchenCustomer.KitchenID_SelectedPrimaryKey
[Code]....
As I mentioned, if I run the Stored Procedure within Mangement Studio, it runs with no problems. Also if I recompile the stored procedure, it runs fine within the app, but after a few days, the stored procedure starts to timeout again within the app and I need to recompile it again.

I use combo boxes with the Autocomplete turned on (Source = ListItems and Mode= SuggestAndApplend). The problem is that if the user stops typing for two seconds and then continues typing, the Autocomplete starts matching only on a new characters being typed. For example, I have a list with two items: "apple" and "please". I type "ap", then pause for a couple seconds and then continue typing "ple". I want the list to match on "apple" but instead it matches on "please". I'm looking for a property or some way to set the length of time the control resets the matching. Do you know if one exists?

I am a complete noob at programming, so I need all the help I can get with my new program.I am building a web-browser which is linked to one webpage. The content of this page is constantly changing, so I need the web-browser to auto-refresh after 2 minutes. But if it refreshes while NOT connected to the Internet, the browser will show an error message, so that is why I have build in an Internet check. This check is working. The browser also have to be in the same place at the screen every time the software is loaded. This code is also working.
But the timer and the refresh is bugging me. I cannot get it to work. The code is not responding.

Im trying to check to see if a value of a label changes over time. however I can't seem to get it right.
dim val1 as string
dim val2 as string
private sub form1_load()
dim val1 = label1.text
end sub
[Code]...
problem is it will only check it once after ten seconds when the timer is set to 10 seconds i need to to check it every 10 seconds becuase these values display altitude, and if the server freezes the altitudes dont change. I need to make sure they are updated and not frozen.

I am using VB2008 SerialPort to communicate with a device. My problem is, using RTS handshake I am missing the first 50 or 60 chars, after that everything is intact. I tried to change the buffer size - Has no effect, used standard, bigger, smaller and no change.
The device timing says when it sends CTS signal, it will start listening 100ms after that. I have no clue how to delay the write to test this. Should I first write to the buffer then write to the port after a a 100ms timer event?

I am using LINQ to SQL and a third party SDK that supports distributed transactions. When I realize that a pending update will be updating both SQL records and records in the third party SDK, I am creating a TransactionScope with a 0 (presumably infinite) timeout (although I've also tried 12 hours as a timespan parameter). Then I use GetDtcTransaction on the ambient transaction (created by transactionscope) to get a DTC transaction to link to the third party SDK. Things work nicely for about 10 minutes, but after 10 minutes, the transaction disappears and an error occurs. How do I determine why the transaction is disappearing. I suspect it's a timeout because it regularly occurs after 10 minutes even though slightly varying degrees of work have been done at that point. But I'm at a loss about how to determine what terminated the transaction, why, and how to extend its life.

Our production database as grown to a size where several of our longer running stored procedures are taking more than the default 30 seconds to complete. I've programatically set some of the CommandTimeouts on the command objects but the calls to the store procedures still appear to be timing out after 30 seconds.
Here's what I did:
In web.config set this property
add key="CommandTimeOut" value="180"
Added this to the top of my class that needs the timeout set:
Dim COMMAND_TIMEOUT As Integer = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings("CommandTimeOut")
After creating the command object set the timeout property on the object.
cmd.CommandTimeout = COMMAND_TIMEOUT
Unfortunately my stored procedures still seem to be timing out when they take longer than 30 seconds to execute.

I have a timer routine (basically just a timing loop) that moves shapes around the screen. The problem is that it isn't in sync with Windows (Vista). If a Windows background program runs (like an antivirus) the screen goes gray. The timing routine still runs but the display is shut off. Only when the shapes are done moving does the screen return to normal (but I didn't actually see the shapes move). Another good example of my issue is when I finish debugging and press the Start button, again I don't see the shapes move, I just see a grayed out screen with the cursor in "busy" mode.
All the other VB.NET programming I've done doesn't assume so much control as this timing loop. I've never had to worry about coordinating a routine with other windows functions. What's the trick to getting this stuff to work together smoothly?

I added a web reference to my VS 2005 console application [Code] The call to this WS times out with :"The CLR has been unable to transition from COM context 0x1a3008 to COM context 0x1a3178 for 60 seconds. The thread that owns the destination context/apartment is most likely either doing a non pumping wait or processing a very long running operation without pumping Windows messages.
This situation generally has a negative performance impact and may even lead to the application becoming non responsive or memory usage accumulating continually over time. To avoid this problem, all single threaded apartment (STA) threads should use pumping wait primitives (such as CoWaitForMultipleHandles) and routinely pump messages during long running operations."
I used WCFStorm to call this WS and the result comes back in an instance, so I don't think the WS is a problem. I deleted the web reference a few times and added it back again. did the clean and rebuild operations.

MVC3 vb.net. In my app I have a point where 500+ emails with attachments are sent out using a for each loop to accomplish this.. Nothing is returned to the browser the entire time this is running so eventually the browser think it has timed out... I tried just having it redirect to another actionresult function after every email and that function just passes it back to the email function. This is not working and I feel the reason is that nothing is actually being sent to the browser window its self.. Is there a way to fix this issue??

I am having an issue with serial port timing when using it to read large flash content. If I slowly step through the code the program works as expected. If I let it runs by itself it only shows part of the result. The problem is not related to displaying the data on the form but mainly the "Serialport.BytesToRead".
Here is the code
Private Sub MemoryReport_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MemoryReport.Click
Me.BackgroundWorker1.RunWorkerAsync()
'Memory_Report()
'SerialPort.DiscardInBuffer()

I have a sql stored procedure that runs for about 3 minutes, I am looking to execute this stored procedure from asp.net, but I know that if I do, that asp.net will most likely time out. I'm thinking of just creating a job within sql to have it execute that stored procedure, and have asp.net call a stored procedure to call that job. I have a table that is updated when the stored procedure starts, and when it ends.
My application will use this to determine when the script has finished, however, I wanted to know if there is another way to run the stored procedure and not have it wait for it to finish to push a response back. I just want to know if there is a more efficient way to do this, or if I should just stick to creating jobs for scripts that take forever to run.

The file operation calls are returning before they are actually complete, or the disk is being cached somehow. What is happening here is that a zipped file containing a number of files to be updated on the users machine has been unzipped and the filenames are returned in an array called 'newfiles'. Each actual file unzipped is temporarily preceded by a '~' character. We rename each existing file to <filename>.old, then delete all the old files. However, sometimes when the code runs, the old files are not deleted. The only explanation for this I can think of is that the second 'Fileexists' is not seeing the files because the filesystem has not caught up at that point. I've never seen this behaviour documented anywhere, though. It works fine when single-stepped.
For Each fn As String In newfiles
If .FileExists(fn) Then
'rename existing file to .old
delpath = Path.ChangeExtension(fn, "old")
.RenameFile(fn, delpath)
End If
'rename the new file to correct name i.e. remove "~"

I am reading the article at: [URL].. Forms Authentication in ASP.NET 2.0". I am using VS 2008 and .Net Framework 3.5. I don't know if this makes a difference, so please let me know.
A user logs on to our system in the morning Based on their Windows Authentication, they can access several intranet applications. For a particular application, the user has to select their Organization or Position or Location.
Based on the user's Windows Authentication, once the user selects one of the three above and clicks a "Submit" button, a second page is launched that shows certain information about the selection based on the User's authentication.
For example, if User selects Organization, the following information will be returned based on the Organization THEY are a member of. They can not access information from OTHER organizations, ONLY their own based on their login credentials. This information returned as a result of the dropdownlist selected value includes: street address, city, state, zipcode, Bus. Unit #, etc. appears in labels on the second page.
The labels can be dynamically created at runtime. (I dont know if a User control can be created to do this, since the "Position" and "Location" will contain the same address information, and it doesn't matter at the moment). I just want to populate the labels on the second page (or on Postback) based on the User's log in credentials after they click the "Submit" button. Or, if they don't have to click a button, just have the information complete based on the selected value of the dropdownlist control.
