How are you getting your values to the grid view? Are you manually setting each value or using XAML XPath binding. If so, how are your bindings defined. They should be written like:
<GridViewColumn Header="Units">
<gridviewcolumn.celltemplate>
<datatemplate>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Path=Units, Mode=OneWay}"/>

You can create self-signed certificates for ISSExpress!? You learn something new every day. I assumed something as bare-bones as IISExpress wouldn't have that capability. Do you have a link to the steps?
While you did provide a viable work-around, the original question still remains unanswered and I am still curious if precompiler directives can be replaced in C#.

I agree. The best approach would be to analyze the queries and indexes of the target table to maximize efficiencies at the database. If queries are taking a long time to find data, it could be using a poorly written query or the database is creating the necessary indexes to find the data on each query call. Good indexes are key to fast queries.

With C#, application settings (you will find them in your project's properties) are saved to a file in your User\AppData\Local folder which is loaded when you run your program. Also, you could store your user name, password, or connection string there. You could also just save them to a text file in the same directory of the executable and load it with the System.IO.StreamReader class.

Yea, I am beginning to think that what I am trying to do just isn't possible with TCP/IP. I think it would be better to switch over to UDP so I could use the socket in a fire-and-forget way to broadcast to all the clients.

I think that my problem is that the server is reconnecting to the same client to send a second message and that is causing this error. Is there any way around that or should I use a small pool of sockets to get around this?
I did manage to get it to work with a create->send->acknowledge->close pattern but if the server ends up with dozens of clients connected, it seems very inefficient to be creating a whole new socket just to send a bit of text to all the clients.

To add onto Michael's solution below, the proper use of TryParse in this scenario is to test if the user actually entered a number for the postal code. Int32.TryParse("123D", out parsedValue) will return false and parsedValue will be null while Int32.TryParse("1234", out parsedValue) will return true and parsedValue will be set to 1234.

Not really since I am off work in about 4 minutes but that is a lambda expression, or anonymous function, that can be inlined into code. I find them very usefull when dealing with event handlers. But, these two lines really are identical

You could just work through the characters adding spaces as you go. There are lots of ways to do this.
char[] numberText = Array.Reverse(value.ToCharArray()); // flip the characters so it will start with the LSD
StringBuilder sBuilder = new StringBuilder(); // use the StringBuilder class to build your number string one digit at a time
for (int i = 0; i < numberText.Length; ++i)
{
sBuilder.Append(numberText[i]); // append a digit
if (i % 3 = 0)
{
sBuilder.Append(' '); // if it's a thousands digit, add your space
}
}
// the result is backwards, so flip and return
return new String(Array.Reverse(sBuilder.ToString().ToCharArray()));

Well, for starters, 0x00000000 is a reserved address in Windows, as it is the NULL address. Most C programmers initialize pointers to the NULL address so programs die in this way so it's clear they forgot to assign something important a value. Since you are getting this particular error, I would start by looking for any points that the code jumps from .Net Managed to Win32 native, like System.IO, and make sure that all the parameters to the call are correct.

Leaking memory in a .Net application is not that hard depending on what you are using. For instance, any class that implements the IDisposable interface is a potential point of memory leaks. The easiest way I have found to leak memory in .Net is to create objects that are based on operating system constructs, also known as Win32 HANDLES in C & C++, and not calling Dispose() when they are not needed anymore. The best thing you can do is Dispose of all IDisposable objects.

Can you specify which type of event you are trying to trigger on? WPF has two different types of events that can be loosely referred to Top Down (uses EventArgs) and Bottom Up (uses RoutedEventArgs).

Do you mean how can you have UI controls change the state of the worker thread? If so, that can be accomplished through the various techniques of thread synchronization.
Link to MSDN: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/mt679037.aspx
Thread synchronization can be a tricky thing to maintain since the OS determines when a thread is allowed to execute code and you can never guarantee that threads will execute in any particular order. I have found that it is easiest to use worker threads with fire-and-forget calls such as updating files and databases or fire-and-update-progress-UI-until-done approach using callback functions so that long running tasks work continue in the background but the UI stays responsive and is constantly informing the user that their request is still being processed, thus eliminating the 'why is your app locking up' questions.

That would certainly work. However, I already have substantial data access code in place around my sql calls and adding the NextResult() call is not feasible without a lot of rework.

I'll try to be brief.
To me, abstraction in OOP is taking something complicated and wrapping it up in a simple to understand public method. With this, the programmer doesn't need to care how the result is achieved and only needs to be concerned with the result that they get.
Encapsulation is like an extension to abstraction as you can have one or two public facing functions that call dozens of private functions which do all the work. Once again, the end user doesn't need to be concerned with the 'how' just the result.
Quick example pseudo code (C#):
public class AppSettings
{
public static AppSettings LoadSettingsFile(string fileName);
private static FileStream OpenConfigFile(string fileName);
private static bool IsXmlFile(FileStream configFile);
private static XmlReader LoadXml(FileStream configFile);
private static LoadWebSettings(XmlReader xml);
private static LoadThemeSettings(XmlReader xml);
...
}
Here, the user is only concerned with getting an AppSettings object from a config file or getting error when something goes wrong (abstraction). Knowing all the steps taken would only make the process more difficult to understand and are hidden from the user (encapsulation).

Well, when databases start telling what kind of data it's returning to you every single time, run-time type checking would be unnecessary. I'm just trying to come up with something truly flexible when creating data structures from imported data. Compile time checking would be awesome but I don't want to have to rewrite code for every different kind of data that could possibly processed. Knowing what kind of data will be returned beforehand is the best option but it doesn't always end up that way.

What if I want to use run-time type checking to dynamically create my data classes?
Foothill
26-Jan-14 17:27pm
View
That makes sense. The idea that this is stemming from is this. Lets start out with say 65 million records. These records can be processed in any which way of 35+ different computations. Using asynchronous database access, there will never be a coherent or predictable order to how the data will arrive at the processing end. I was just thinking that by setting up those 35 different processes as unique threads in the GPU, the CPU's sole job is to bring data in, navigate it to the correct thread, grab the processed data, and then send it back out for storage. The actual processing would take 60-100 clock cycles while moving the data around only takes a few. With this approach, if a couple of record types exist in far more numbers then others, extra threads can be created to process more records faster. This gives for a greater level of flexibility on how the actual program is executed. What do you think?

From the viewpoint of pure data computation, the large-scale architectures of modern x86 and x64 processors is like using an earth mover to dig a post hole. I am approaching this from the idea that the architecture of GPU's are already optimal for performing millions of simple calculations per second and are already designed to run in parallel. Is something like that even possible?

This is a good start. Your answer suggests that you are very knowledgeable in this area. Say that each separate thread was performing very simple calculations. Is it feasible to use the simplified architecture of nVidia's CUDA cores to accomplish massively paralleled programming?

You could always use datediff to get the difference for each entry then sum them up.

I working on a modular processing model and I am taking into account growth. My base models would have 20-40 threads but if I want it to handle much larger jobs, like processing 300+ million records in an hour, I'll be needing to push multiprocessing and parallelism to it's logical limits. Since I'm not an MIT or Cal-Tech grad, I have no idea where to find the information on how I can achieve my goals.

First question, do you have necessary permissions to update the database as your login?

I've had this problem when I was learning how to interface web pages and SQL databases as well. We had to set up a role in the database for read and execute. Then we had to give the AppPool that ran the page permissions to the role. It gets a little more complicated if the database is using schema's other than dbo.

What kind of database? If it is MS SQL Server, using System.Data.SqlClient makes it pretty easy.

Since System.Collections.Generic.List and System.Web.Mvc.SelectList do not derive from the same base classes (with the exception of Object), you cannot do an explicit or implicit conversion on them. The easy way would be to make a one-to-one copy between lists.

Here's how to query a process:
Imports System.ServiceProcess
public function GetProcessStatus(byval MachineName as string, byval ProcessName as string) as ServiceControllerStatus
Dim SvcCtl as ServiceController
SvcCtl.MachineName = MachineName
SvcCtl.ServiceName = ProcessName
SvcCtl.Refresh()
Return SvcCtl.Status
End Function
All you need is the list of machines and the service you want to check.
For executables, call Process.GetProcessesByName(exeName). Returns true if that executable is running. Not sure on how to call this on a remote machine though, never tried yet.

Do you mean directly from the database? Then you can't. Databases don't store the data like that. In order to play a video from a database, first you must download the binary data, turn it back into a video file, and then you can play with any standard media player.

I've looked into this before (just for fun). It's a good bet to redirect this question to the SEC (Securities Exchange Commission) as they would most likely be able to direct you on how to connect to the securites electronic markets. If I remember correctly, there are fees and licensing involved to get that kind of access.

I have to ask, what kind of data are you putting into the primary key? If it is an auto-incrementing identity, then the chances of exceeding the size of BigInt are remote. However, if the size of the table does get big enough to exceed BigInt, the easiest way around that is to create a new table and store more data there.

This is the parent function. As I stated in the original question, the data is stored just as it should and the stored proc returns 0. However, Access is still throwing a error when in reality, I cannot see a reason for it to.

Since I used cmd.parameters.refresh, ADO grabs the parameters from the proceedure itself. I then populate those parameters in another function.

You could code a function to automatically reposition the controls and the background. It would take a bit of math and some trial and error to get it just right.
Just play around with the 'Top' and 'Left' properties of the controls.

I ran into a little snag with your suggestion before I changed most of them to void. Whenever I had cString& return type and returned 'this', the program called the destructor and destroyed the cString object at the completion of the fuction, thereby deleting the string. I'll go back and take another look.

Thank you for the input. This is a lot of information to assimilate, but you bring up valid points. Checking to make sure that there was enough memory has never crossed my mind (never made a program that big plus my comp has plenty), but it is duely noted. This has truely been a very good educational experience, plus, it's probably the best question I've asked on this site.

Thank you for the insights. I accomplished my goal of creating a string class that mimics what I've seen in other programming languages such as VB and Java. All I need to do is code a matching wide string class and add some functionallity to seemlessly exchange data between the two. This should provide a solid benifit as I expand my Windows programming skills. It's those pesky memory leaks that I'm most concerned with. There is a myriad of apps in circulation that still contain them after going to market, some of them leak memory like a seive.

I do understand that I might be re-inventing the wheel here, but I have this attitude about programming; why stand on the shoulders of giants when you can walk in their footsteps? These days, a majority of code is black boxed and neatly packaged. Figuring out how they did it is half the fun.
