• medel Performance Issue - Binary serialization with large amount of data.

  I want to serialize a dataset (typed) which contains more than 10,00, 000 records. i am reading the information from the file(s) and populating the dataset. i am using binary formatter. it is taking lot of time to serialize and de-serialize the data. can any one help me to improve the performance. 10 million records will take a lot of time to serialize, there's nothing you can do about that. I would suggest that your design is at fault, and needs to be relooked at. Why on earth do you need to serialize so many records in one operation It is a lot of items to serialize. How long time does it take now How long time do you need it to take Are you using the resources in a good way For instance if you have a ...Show All

  I would like to be able to delete a file from a file server. I have code to do it for an ftp server, but u nfor tunately applying this code to files on a file server does not work since the following does not exist: FileWebRequest request = ( FileWebRequest ) WebRequest .Create(serverUri); request.Method = WebRequestMethods .

• nerdyome Fastest way to call C++ code from C#?

  I would like to write plug-ins for my application using C#. My plan was to make the C# objects COM visible and derive from my plug-in interface. I’ve been told that the transition to and from managed code is a very expensive operation and I should limit the transitions as much as possible. This makes sense but I would still like to do things in the most optimal way since there will be no way from the transitions to be eliminated. That said, what would be the optimal way to call C# code from C++ (COM) and C++ code from C# My current plan is to use COM visible interfaces to call C# code C++ and COM connection points to call C++ code from C#.

• hotsauce Is there a downside to using synchronous socket calls in a dedicated thread?

  I am writing a server client socket application and have got to choose between synchronous and asynchronous patterns.   In a single threaded process I can see why it is advantages to use the asynchronous calls - you can do something else whilst waiting for incoming coms.   But the async calls are a bit mind bending so...   I could use blocking socket synchronous/calls in a separate dedictated thread.  That way the main thread is not blocked.  This is a much simpler solution to code than the asynchronous calls but it seems too good to be true.   Can anyone see a significiant downside to this approuch    For instance do the blocking socket calls use loads of resrouces   ...Show All

• RNG In C#, what is the difference between System.String and System.string (lowercase)

  This mignt not be the correct forum, if so, I'm sorry about that. I am trying to get a better understanding of the .NET library. I am programming in c# and I see that System.String (uppercase String) and System.string (lowercase string) seem to be the same objects. However they are color coded in different colors. I am guessing that there is a reason, but I cannot seem to find it in the documentation. Can anyone shed some light on this Thanks! Bob You are correct, "string" is a keyword, "String" is a type name. Dark and light blue, respectively. The relevant section in the C# language specification is section 4.2.3: "The keyword string is simply an alias for ...Show All

• Taoyo How to animate in the console?

  Hi, how can i "animate" the Text in the console, so that i can show that something is going on. e.g. . .. ... . .. ... usw. You know what i mean I've seen this kind of animation several times, but i don't know how to do that. By the way, I just noticed that this won't work as copied out of the post. The forum has collapsed the number of spaces in the Console.Write(" ") statement that I used to clear the line. Just make sure there are five spaces in there and it will work. There might be a better way to clear the line, and of course the real trick in anything like this is how to keep updating it while you are actually doing work, instead of just simulati ...Show All
