• Visual C++ How to do proper infinite loops

  I am writing a console application for a Windows box that is constantly polling for certain external input to be read and it is basically in an infinite loop. Roughly: while(1) { wait 5 minutes; check value; if user asked to kill us quit; } The only thing is that the CPU jumps to 100% utilization when this program is running. Since the console application, as far as I know, is not event-driven in any way, how do I do an infinite loop without taking 100% of the CPU longwood How do you wait 5 minutes Use System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(300000); to wait without using the CPU. -- SvenC ...Show All

As a result time of query execution increasion for about 5 seconds to about 4 minutes. All necessary indexes are created. It sims all data located in cache.

• Visual C# probem with generics

  Hi, I've written the the code below: static public void Test<T>(T arg) { write(arg); } static public void write( char c) { Console .WriteLine( "char" ); } static public void write( int c) { Console .WriteLine( "int" ); } It should be possible to write like this: Test('c'); or Test(10) and the appropiate write methods should be called. When I try to compile it I get two errors: Error 1 The best overloaded method match for 'tester.Program.write(char)' has some invalid arguments. Error 2 Argument '1': cannot convert from 'T' to 'char'. Is there another way to make the templated method call the appropiate methods. It seems to me that writing some ...Show All

• SQL Server Books Online

  I have registered to use SQL server 2005 Express Edition.  I want to download relevant documentation for books online. The guidance for this is to download the 'SqlServer2k5_BOL_Jul2006.msi' software.

• Audio and Video Development XML Parser Performance..

  Does anyone have any relationship data between XML Parsing (using the built in spec Parser) and specific CES devices We are looking for data based on the parsing and handling the parsed xml stream, such as dynamically creating menus, pop up messages, dynamic playlist navigation, game engine datasets etc. Our SAX implementation and DOM implementations are multi-format compatible but we are looking to verify performance at this time before giving up on the built in spec parser. Any one doing this kind of dynamic work already and willing to share their experiences Thanks, Denny B. I would recommend you try very hard to use the built-in one. Using your own could lead to poor performnace issues when loading large DOMs (eit ...Show All

• Visual C# Getting the month out of a string date!

  Hi, I'm facing a small problem and it would be great if someone could provide me a solution to this problem. I have the following code: string str="11/09/2006"; // In "dd/MM/yyyy" format. int month; Now when I specify month = Convert.ToDateTime(str).Month; I get the value of month as 11, which means its taking the "MM/dd/yyyy" format. How can I specify the "dd/MM/yyyy" format so that I get the value of month as 09. I do not want to use the spilt function and get the month, is there any other efficient way of doing this.
