I run a program with 20 threads getting data from web.
After about 10 minutes I keep getting operation timed out exception.
If I restart the program it works again for 10 minutes.
Looks like there is a memory leak or something.
Some says that webclient uses webrequest object somewhere. I do not see it in watch though.
I am looking for formula that is accurate in converting Minutes to Decimal Minutes i.e 30 minutes is 50 Minutes in Decimals so 1.3 hours is 1.50 and not 1.5 i have used Minutes/60 but it is not accurate as some times i have to Multiply the result by 100 and some time 1000 to get correct results based on single digit Try 1/60, 10/60 99/60 or 100/60.What would be the most efficient and correct way to Convert the time into Minutes ?
View 10 RepliesI have an application that provides a countdown for 60 minutes and I'm currently using the win form timer and it updates some labels and a progressbar. Now I have to change this to be a countdown for 360 minutes. Will the win form timer be sufficient or should I implement a Timers.Timer instead?
View 6 RepliesI am using an httpWebRequest in my windows app to download files from a webserver (sURL), to a local folder (fileDestination) as such:
Public Function DownloadFile(ByVal sURL As String, _
ByVal fileDestination As String, _
ByVal WebRequestType As String) As Boolean
Dim URLReq As HttpWebRequest
Dim URLRes As HttpWebResponse

This works fine for the first few files. But then it starts giving the error:
"operation has timed out"
on the URLReq.GetResponse line.
I have a piece of hardware that is controlled via USB.There are 8 LEDs on the output byte. One LED per bit.I like to toggle the outputs based on selection of checkboxes and given frequency entered in TextBox.I inserted 8 checkboxes to allow me to select the desired LEDs to be on.I select the checkboxes to select the required LEDs.The checkbox gives me the byte value. XORing the byte value with 255I can see them toggling very fast. I have a while loop to blink forever until I click on stop button.The stop makes the seq=false and this should stop the blinking but it keeps going.How can I insert desired delay of flashing frequency in my output routine?How can I stop on demand to change pattern without exiting the program.

View 9 RepliesI'm trying to make a simple program that keeps track of a list of phone directories. It offers the option of adding new names to the directory and deleting names already stored.I want the program to display a small unobtrusive message when a name is added or removed.For example, a label that shows "James Potter added to directory..."and then disappears after a few secondsGoing through th file mentions the timer but it seems like an awfully long winded way involving a new control and a new subroutine for every single timed event. I was wondering if there's an easier way, perhaps a single command like:

I have built a Windows Service and this runs great but what I would like to do is have this service check a website every 5 mins and ensure that a status code of 200 (Success) is returned.
checking aspect and the timing side of it.
I have a timed event that displays a balloon in the system tray. I would like this icon to remain active for 2 minutes or when the user closes it. When this time expires, the balloon should close and begin a function. I am having 2 problems with this:
1) The baloon icon is limited to between 10 and 30 seconds, when the user is active, so it closes to soon.
2) when the user is not active, the inactive time does not count agenst the timer.
I have some software that grabs information from a mysql server. However, users minimize it to the system tray, and leave it idle for hours until using it again.If a user leaves the program idling for about 15 minutes, then goes into the program again to perform a query, it throws a Fatal Error in the mysql, and says 'connection must be valid and open'
The reason is simply because the mysql connection has timed out..I was wondering what the code would be to re-connect to the server IF it has timed out.

How can I create a simple application to send timed controls to an external device?
What I need is to create a very simple application that sends control signals or voltages out to an external device connected via serial perhaps. The external device will in turn trigger some electromechanical devices. There needs to be 24 independent controls each with a simple command equivalent to on or off. What is important is being able to control the timings of the on and off on each control.[code]....
I'm trying to make a form that will read my wordlist. txt (one word or phrase per line) then using a timer, insert one word randomly selected from the list, and display it in textbox1 where it will remain until another timer changes the word. The word in the textbox will display for a random time 1min to 7 min, then the textbox displays another word randomly selected from the word list.
View 1 RepliesI am getting an intermittent "System.Web.HttpException: Request timed out." error when my code hits the line response.write():
sMessage = "Searching...0% complete."<br>
sSetVal = "<script>document.getElementById('MessageDiv').innerHTML='" & sMessage & "';</script>"<br>
Response.write(sSetVal)
Note that Response.BufferOutput = false is set when the page first starts executing (well before the above code executes).The code is used to update a progress message while other threads execute long-running processes. One thread runs continuously and checks the status of the other threads. As the other threads finish, this thread outputs updated status messages to the end user. I realise that this could (should) be recoded using ajax, but it is a legacy app and that is not an option at the moment.
This code is run 10,000+ times a day, and the error only occurs about 5 times - so I suspect the response object is being blocked by other threads when the website gets busy. However, I don't know which performance counters to check in the performance monitor. Or is this problem caused by something else? I am using IIS 6, asp.net v2 and vb.net?
Is there a way to have VB to use all available RAM in less than 3 minutes? say on a system with 4gb
View 4 RepliesI am calling 5 external servers to retrieve XML-based data for each request for a particular webpage on my IIS 6 server. Present volume is between 3-5 incoming requests per second, meaning 15-20 outgoing requests per second.
99% of the outgoing requests from my server (the client) to the external servers (the server) work OK but about 100-200 per day end up with a "The operation has timed out" exception.
I have a resource problem on my server - some shortage of sockets, ports etc or a thread lock but the problem with this theory is that the failures are entirely random - there are not a number of requests in a row that all fail - and two of the external servers account for the majority of the failures.
My question is how can I further diagnose these exceptions to determine if the problem is on my end (the client) or on the other end (the servers)?
The volume of requests precludes putting an analyzer on the wire - it would be very difficult to capture these few exceptions. I have reset CONNECTIONS and THREADS in my machine.config and the basic code looks like:
Dim hRequest As HttpWebRequest
Dim responseTime As String
Dim objWatch As New Stopwatch

I am trying to Send an Email with an attachment (using Gmail) but I keep getting errors like "Operation Timed out" or Failure Sending Email".
