• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Linq: Performance Issue

  Fellow explorers, I ran a test the other day on the performance of certain aspects of Linq. I had an object Office with Id and Name properties and then created a List<Office> with a bunch of random instance of these objects. Then I wrote 3 finders to look for all the objects with Id > 10. Simple stuff. The for test: List<Office> os = new List<Office>(); for (int i = 0; i < offices.Count; i++) { if (offices .Id > 10) os.Add(offices ); } The foreach test: List<Office> os = new List<Office>(); offices.ForEach(delegate(Office office) { if (office.Id > 10) os.Add(office); }); The Linq test: IEnumerable<Office> m ...Show All

• SQL Server Does it locks database/tables when Only Select query comes in SQLTransaction

  Hi, I want to make SQLTransaction as global and use it checking the State. But then where there are Only Select queries are going to fire, it will open transaction. So, Does it locks database/tables when Only Select query comes in SQLTransaction. If you have another successful way of doing this, Please suggest. Thanking you. tats A select typically only takes shared lock and releases the lock as soon as the select is done. If you want to an exclusive lock, you will have to use "tablockx" hint.

• Windows Forms File allocation

  Hi, I am working on XP. I want to create a large file and reserve all the disk space necessary upfront. To do so, I create the file and write one byte to the end of the file. This operation takes a long time to complete. It seems the entire file is getting written. Subsequently, I set the file to be a SPARSE file. The operation completes quickly, but the file is not actually allocated (my free disk space does not go down). Is there a way to create a file and force the OS to allocate all the blocks (without writing the entire file) Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. This code creates a one gigabyte file in a fraction of a second: using (FileStream fs = new FileStream(@"c:\temp\largefile.bin", FileMode.OpenOrCreate, ...Show All

• .NET Development C# Checking for Hex '00' in a file

  Hi I'm trying to convert from COBOL programming to C# and need to check for what I call Hex zeroes in a file. I've got the file open using open File Dialogue and can read lines of text and have also defined a string of hex zeroes as follows; int lowvalues = 0x000000; However I'm not sure how to go about searching each line read for this value My Readline is as follows. Text = sr.ReadLine(); Any replies should be aimed at the level of an 8 year old ! Thanks Yes - I think you're probably right and it's my ignorance. How do I open it as a binary file and search for the binary 0's Thanks ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Problem with GDI+

  Hi ppl! I'm doing the following: Bitmap bmp = new Bitmap(@"D:\Temp\SansaBitmap\IMG_0600.bmp",false); bmp.Save(@"D:\Temp\SansaBitmap\IMG_0600_new.bmp"); As far as I understand this should create exactly the same file as it was, but guess what - it creates a file that is 2 times bigger!!! What is the problem How I may create a file that is exactly the same size Best, Telek. And the probable explanation for this behavior is that Save creates a 32 bit depth bitmap and probably your original bitmap was a 16 bit depth one. ...Show All
