View 3 Repliesis it possible to monitor my RAM-memory use of my application using a PerformanceCounter? If so, I've been looking around on the web, but my knowledge about memory isn't enough to understand what precisely I have to use
View 1 Repliesi'm making a small app to remotely monitor around 15 servers over our network, I need to get the current CPU usage, memory, disk space and network utilisation. I've got everything I need using performance counters in VB.net via the following (one for each item I want to monitor).
Code:
PerfCnt_CPU = New PerformanceCounter("Processor", "% Processor Time", "_Total", CurrentTargetPC)
PerfCnt_Mem = New PerformanceCounter("Memory", "Available MBytes", Nothing, CurrentTargetPC)
PerfCnt_Disk = New PerformanceCounter("LogicalDisk", "% Free Space", "C:", CurrentTargetPC)
PerfCnt_NetIn = New PerformanceCounter("Network Interface", "Bytes Received/sec", NetworkAdTarget, CurrentTargetPC
[Code]..
Is there a better way for me to watch the remote performance data, maybe through WMI I already connect via WMI to get the remote OS version, boot time etc.. but if anyone can give me an example of the most efficient way to watch the perf data over WMI (or a better way).
I would like to use C# for an application I'm building, but the application makes heavy use of automation (i.e. Excel, Word).
Is it feasible to use C# for such an application? It used to be a nightmare to use C type languages for things like parameter lists with null arguments etc..?
Well there are several ways that you can implement such a log. You could write to a text file or XML file...or you could use the Windows Event log.
What do you envision using for logging purposes?
I'm trying to calculate the amount of CPU usage my application uses.
My code.
Try
Dim CPU As Integer = CDec(PerformanceCounter2.NextValue.ToString)
Label44.Text = CPU & "%"
[Code]...
The problem is that sometimes it says it uses more 115% hmmm.... That's when i was for sure that its lying to me.
I have a performance counter set up to pull % Processor Time on a remote machine.
Heres the code I use to pull it:
Code:
Private cpuCounter As PerformanceCounter = Nothing
Try
cpuCounter = New PerformanceCounter("Processor", "% Processor Time", "_Total", strServer)
[Code].....
However, sometimes it can take 40-50 seconds for this one counter to process.. when its been created (the 'cpuCounter =' line), then it runs just fine, I can pull nextvalue without any problem.. but creating it takes forever.
This only happens the first time I run my program and it only happens with the first counter, and it doesn't ALWAYS happen.
PerformanceCounter.NextValue appears to return integer values instead of single values.The code below has a button, Button1 and a textbox, TextBox1. Click on the button and the textbox is filled with the CPU usage of each process at a given time. I would assume that these values should match with the values in task manager.
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
TextBox1.Text = Now.ToString & vbCrLf & vbCrLf
TextBox1.Text &= GetInfo()
Application.DoEvents()
[code]....
My guess is that these processes are taking up SOME amount of CPU and are just being rounded down to 0. In the first example I would guess that the CPU amount is rounded up to 100 %.
I have a small-scale WPF application using VB.net as the code behind and I want to add certain features, but i'm concerned about performance.
1) My app interacts with a third party database to display "realtime" data to the user. My proposed method is to create a background worker to query a database every 30 seconds and display the data. I query about 2,000 records all long integer type, store them in a dataset, and then use LINQ to create subsets of observable collections which the WPF controls are bound to.
Is this too intensive? how much memory am i using for 2,000 records of long int? Is the background worker querying every 30 seconds too taxing? will it crash eventually? Will it interfere with the users other daily work (excel, email, etc)?
2) If an application is constantly reading/writing from text files can that somehow be a detriment to the user if they are doing day to day work? I want the app to read/write text files, but I don't want it to somehow interfere with something else the person is doing since this app will be more of a "run in the background check it when I need to" app.
3) Is there a way to quantify how taxing a certain block of code, variable storage, or data storage will be to the end user? What is acceptable?
4) I have several list(of t) that I use as "global" lists where I can hit them from any window in my application to display data. Is there a way to quantify how much memory these lists take up? The lists range from lists of integers to lists of variables with dozens of properties. Can I somehow quantify how taxing this is on the app or the end user?

View 1 RepliesIs it possible to create an application with vb.net to track a users usage of Excel, Word and another application called lets say - Userapp.exe
At work we have been asked to create a diary of our days work and since most of my work is in excel, word and a custom application I have built, I was wondering if it was possible to track the usage of these programs store the data in a datatable and then save it to a access db.
Usage of the program would mean the time that the file is open on the screen, that way the time a program is open but minimised in the taskbar would not be counted.
The data table would have these headings -
1. Program (i.e excel, word etc.)
2. Name of File used
3. Time used in program
Could I use the windows task manager for this?
I am trying to write an application that monitors internet usage. So it sort of needs to act like a firewall/proxy, recording each site the computer goes to. It will record all these sites in a log file. Using a proxy server on the network is not an option, each computer running this software needs to be self sufficient. Do you have any suggestions on what to use for this project?
View 1 RepliesDoes a the size of the class affect the memory usage of the application? is it better to break big classes into smaller classes or just group them up into one big class.
View 2 RepliesI have a several C# console applications that basically parse tons of data in memory (LINQ) and output the results to a text file. Now, forget about the writing to the text file for a minute because this is not where the problem is occurring.
When I run the application in debug mode, I will never get it to utilize more than 50% of cpu usage. It will be parsing/massaging hundreds of thousands of records, but only go X fast and utilize 50% of the cpu AT MOST (as viewed in the Task Manager).
I would really like to use 100% of the CPU to make the processing go faster. Does anybody have any insight? I am running Windows XP Professional with Service Pack 3. I have Visual Studio 2008 Professional with Service Pack 1 installed. I have manually set the affinity of the process in Task Manager to a single core on the dual CPU. Sometimes I can catch it utilizing 51% or 52% of the CPU.

2.Also , in order for the user to be able to use the application, he�ll have to register it then, everytime, before the application loads, it gets verified online that it was registered, maybe validate the registration information or a valid user name and password, no critical personal information. The target of this step is for the application to be used exclusively by the registered user and maybe on his computer only.
I'm curious to know the spread level of programs coded in VB.net.I'm asking, because I coded in VB.net during my university years in aerospace engineering , because our informatics professor wanted us to do that and we learned at least a very basic experience in programming.So I coded a horizon finder as a project-work and asked a friend of mine, a student of informatics, and he really asked me if my professor wants to use this vb.net program on one of his satellites. (okay, even I don't want my program on a real satellite, even on this nano test satellite it was intended for :)). I replied, that I know, that he uses other vb.net stuff in it.he said, this vb.net is not used in real world's programmes and it is slower than other languages, and it isn't as flexible.he said, that there are other ways in crashing this satellite than using vb.net ;)
so I would like to know a rough estimation about the percentage of programs coded in vb.net as a software in PC apps AND in automation machines etc.

View 1 RepliesWe have a .net win forms application, using .net 3.5. Application runs from a terminal server, users access it with Citrix client. when users run this app memory usage goes higher and hiher and it never comes back. even tough we put objects with dispose and set to nothing also the memory usage is not comming down. it starts wuth 75 mb and goes up to 500 mb. it is a 32 bit application.
how can we find the exact problem with the application. the bahaviour is almost same when we run our development box locally.
How do I get the cpu usage percentage to display in the label on a form?

everything works but the cpu part it returns values over 100%?
im using visual basic 2010 express and im wanting to know how i can display the CPU usage (over all CPU usage like you would find on the task manager), the RAM usage, the temperature, and the frames per second all in separate list boxes.I have searched around on the internet for a long time looking for the code's to do this, none seem to be compatible with the 2010 express version.

i am a beginner in vb.net programming...started a project in it.Below is the breif project description.The application is to ensure the integrity of the files.Following are the majors things that i have to implement
1. To browse the files from the disk on runtime.initially i am just taking the database files so it's basically to connect with the MS access db files.
2.To apply the different hash and encryption algos on the file.
3.To store the results on the hard disk back.
4. To calulate the performance of each algo using some performance matrix.(TIME,MEMORY USAGE etc)
Now i am having problem in two things.First in runtime connectivity with MS access batabase..and secondly and the main problem is that i could'nt find any appropriate builtin function to calulate the processing TIME and the MEMORY usage.
instead of using if control.invoke required in a procedure can I just call the procedure with begininvoke?I have, possibly, the following:
Private Sub UpDateTimer_Elapsed(sender As Object, e As System.Timers.ElapsedEventArgs) Handles UpDateTimer.Elapsed
UpdateTime()
If MicActive Then
PTTCancelTime += 1

When are predicates appropriate and what is the best pattern for usage? What are the advantages of predicates? It seems to me like most cases where a predicate can be employed a tight loop would accomplish the same functionality?
