• Visual Basic How do I set delay between code?

  Hello all. I would like to enquire how I can set a delay in between chunks of code. For example, after some code which interacts with a server, I am supposed to get a corresponding information from the server before it is appropriate to proceed on to the next part of the code. As the server response is not immediate, therefore an arbitrary delay is needed. What is the proper code format that I need to add  I can't seem to find the documentation in the help file. Thanks in advance. The easiest way is often to simply do a sleep: System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(1000) ...Show All

• Visual C# C# Hashtable Issue

  I'm adding key-values to my hashtable (company_data), but everytime I add something new, it adds it to the element from which the hashtable was derived, Universe[ i ]. Universe is just an arraylist of hastables that is declared as a member of the class. Its creating a reference i'm guessing to the original element instead of copying just the actual values. How do I fix this for(int i=0; i<Convert.ToInt32(Universe.Count*0.1); i++) { Hashtable company_data = new Hashtable(); company_data = (Hashtable)Universe[ i ]; Hashtable dm = report.DownloadMnemonics_pri(); foreach(string key in dm.Keys) { company_data.Add(key,GetFactSetData(company_data["ticker"].ToString ...Show All

  This may be a silly question but I've got a .NET 2.0 application with several projects/libraries. I'd like to have the benefits of a VS 2005 Data Project (deployment, code snippets, etc.) but I can't figure out how to take an existing C# project and allow it to also be a Database project (there should be the extra "Data" tabe in the project's properties). Any tips Thanks! - James 2 questions: 1. What error do you get from SQL Server 2.

• Visual C++ exhausted the non-paged pool

  The issue is that when we created ~ 450 000 read/write locks, we exhausted the non-paged pool, which holds all operating system objects (such as handles and semaphores etc). When this happens, Windows grinds to a halt. Fallowing is the scenario: We are using the multi reader/multi writer to access critical resourses. Fallowing are the Read and write functions: void RWLock::acquire_write_lock() { // Use a critsec for mutual exclusion between writers EnterCriticalSection(&cs); // A writer is waiting InterlockedIncrement(&writers); // We must now wait until all readers have left the lock while (readers > 0) { // Readers on the lock // Decrement writers ag ...Show All
