There are quite a few sample projects on CodeProject, etc. However, after downloading every one of them that I can find, I have run into a problem.
In each and every one of them, the reference to WIALib is broken. When I go to add "Microsoft Windows Image Acquisition" as a reference, the only version available on my development workstation (also the machine that will run this) is 2.0.
Unfortunately, every one of these sample projects appear to have been coded against 1.x. The reference goes in as "WIA" instead of "WIALib". I took a shot, just changing the namespace import, but clearly the API is drastically different.
Is there any information on either implementing v2.0 or on upgrading one of these existing sample projects out there? | c# | .net | dotnet | wia | scanner | null | open | Using C#/WIA version 2.0 on Vista to Scan

If I do a hard reset of the emulator it forgets network connection settings for the emulator and settings in the hosted Windows Mobile OS.

Now it doesn't, but the compiler won't let me build the project without the assembly reference in place. Let me elaborate.
This project used to throw and catch a custom exception class - the *SuperException* - which was derived from the standard System.Exception and lived in a separate, precompiled assembly, *SuperAssembly.DLL*, which I referenced.

Now, here's the thing:
1. All uses of *SuperException* have been eliminated from the project's code.
2.

My C# project - we'll call it the SuperUI - used to make use of a class from an external assembly. Now it doesn't, but the compiler won't let me build the project without the assembly reference in place. Let me elaborate.
This project used to throw and catch a custom exception class - the *SuperException* - which was derived from the standard System.Exception and lived in a separate, precompiled assembly, *SuperAssembly.DLL*, which I referenced.

We have two large files which we'd like to read from two separate threads concurrently. One thread will sequentially read fileA while the other thread will sequentially read fileB. There is no locking or communication between the threads, both are sequentially reading as fast as they can, and both are immediately discarding the data they read.
Our experience with this setup on Windows is very poor. The combined throughput of the two threads is in the order of 2-3 MiB/sec. The drive seems to be spending most of its time seeking backwards and forwards between the two files, presumably reading very little after each seek.
If we disable one of the threads and temporarily look at the performance of a single thread then we get much better bandwidth (~45 MiB/sec for this machine). So clearly the bad two-thread performance is an artefact of the OS disk scheduler.
**Is there anything we can do to improve the concurrent thread read performance?** Perhaps by using different APIs or by tweaking the OS disk scheduler parameters in some way.
Some details:
The files are in the order of 2 GiB each on a machine with 2GiB of RAM. For the purpose of this question we consider them not to be cached and perfectly defragmented. We have used defrag tools and rebooted to ensure this is the case.
We are using no special APIs to read these files. The behaviour is repeatable across various bog-standard APIs such as Win32's CreateFile, C's fopen, C++'s std::ifstream, Java's FileInputStream, etc.
Each thread spins in a loop making calls to the read function. We have varied the number of bytes requested from the API each iteration from values between 1KiB up to 128MiB. Varying this has had no effect, so clearly the amount the OS is physically reading after each disk seek is not dictated by this number. This is exactly what should be expected.
The dramatic difference between one-thread and two-thread performance is repeatable across Windows 2000, Windows XP (32-bit and 64-bit), Windows Server 2003, and also with and without hardware RAID5. | windows | multithreading | file-io | null | null | null | open | How to obtain good concurrent read performance from disk.

Now, with .net 3.0, we got auto-properties:

I know this is more a philosophical/subjective questions, but is there any reason to use these auto-properties except from saving 5 lines of code for each field? My personal gripe is that those properties are hiding stuff from me, and I am not a big fan of black magic.
In fact, the hidden private field does not even show up in the Debugger, which is OK given the fact that the get/set functions do nothing. But when I want to actually implement some getter/setter logic, I have to use the private/public pair anyway.
I see the benefit that I save a lot of code (1 vs 6 lines) without losing the ability to change the getter/setter logic later, but then again I can already do that by simply declaring a public field "Public string Title" without the need of the { get; set; } block, thus even saving more code.

I've subclassed the `ListView` class into a templated `SortableListView<T>` class, so it can be a bit smarter about how it displays things, and sort itself.
Unfortunately this seems to break the Visual Studio Forms Designer, in both VS2005 and 2008.

I have two drop down controls, on the first drop down I have a javascript onChange event. The javascript enables the second drop down and removes a value from it (the value selected in the first drop down). If they click the blank first value of the dropdown, then the second drop down will be disabled (and the options reset).
I also have code in the OnPreRender method that will enable or disable the second drop down based on the value of the first drop down. This is so that the value of the first drop down can be selected in code (loading user settings).
My problem is:
1. The user selects something in the first drop down. The second drop down will become enabled through javascript.
2. They then change a third drop down that initiates a post back. After the post back the drop downs are in the correct state (first value selected, second drop down enabled).
3. If they then click the back button, the second drop down will no longer be enabled although it should be since there's something selected in the first drop down.
I've tried adding a startup script (that will set the correct state of the second drop down) through ClientScript.RegisterStartupScript, however when this gets called the first drop down has a selectedIndex of 0, not what it actually is.

The way I figure, there's 2 ways I can think of:

In the code where I'm calling DataGrid.DataBind(), use the DataTable.Compute() method (*or in my case DataSet.DataTable(0).Compute()*). For example:
Dim strAverage = DataTable.Compute("Avg(ColumnName)", "")
But once I have this, how can I insert it into the footer?
2."**Bound** for Glory"
Using the DataGrid.ItemDataBound event, and calculating a running total from every ListItemType.Item and ListItemType.AlternatingItem, finally displaying in ListItemType.Footer. For example:
Select Case e.Item.ItemType
Case ListItemType.Item, ListItemType.AlternatingItem
runningTotal += CInt(e.Item.Cells(2).Text)
Case ListItemType.Footer
e.Item.Cells(2).Text = runningTotal/DataGrid.Items.Count

Currently, if two users open the same document, modify it and save the changes, document's state will be undefined (either the first user's changes are saved permanently, or the second's). This is entirely unsatisfactory. I considered two possibilities to solve this problem.
The first is to lock document when it is opened by someone the first time, and unlock it when it is closed. But if network connection to the server is suddenly interrupted, the document would stay in forever-locked state. The obvious solution is to send regular pings to the server. If server doesn't receive K pings in a row (K > 1) from a particular client, documents locked by this client are unlocked. If that client re-appears, documents are locked again, if someone hadn't already locked them. This could also help if the client application (running in web browser) is terminated unexpectedly, making it impossible to send 'quitting, unlock my documents' signal to the server.
The second is to store multiple versions of the same document saved by different users. If changes to the document are made in a rapid succession, system would offer either to merge versions or to select preferred version. To optimize storage space, only document diffs should be kept. (Just like source control software).
What method should I choose, taking into consideration that the connection to the server might *sometimes* be slow and unresponsive? How should the parameters (ping interval, rapid succession interval) be determined?

A point which has been brought up recurrently, is that of dealing with system vs. user values; in our project user and system vals are stored together. For example...
We have a list of templates.
1, <system template>
2, <system template>
3, <system template>
These are mapped in the app to an enum (1, 2, 3)
Then a user comes in and adds...
4, <user template>
...And...
5, <user template>
Then.. we issue an upgrade.. and insert as part of our upgrade scripts...
<new id> [6], <new system template>
THEN!!... we find a bug in the new system template and need to update it... The problem is how? We cannot update record using ID6 (as we may have inserted it as 9, or 999, so we have to identify the record using some other mechanism)
So, we've come to two possible solutions for this.
**In the red corner (speed)....**
---------------------------------
We simply start user Ids at 5000 (or some other value) and test data at 10000 (or some other value). This would allow us to make modifications to system values and test them up to the lower limit of the next ID range.
Advantage...Quick and easy to implement,
Disadvantage... could run out of values if we don't choose a big enough range!
**In the blue corner (scalability)...**
---------------------------------------
We store, system and user data separately, use GUIDs as Ids and merge the two lists using a view.
Advantage...Scalable..No limits w/regard to DB size.
Disadvantage.. More complicated to implement. (many to one updatable views etc.)
----------
I plump squarely for the first option, but looking for some ammo to back me up!
Does anyone have any thoughts on these approaches, or even one(s) that we've missed?
Thanks,
Duncan

I was wondering if there was a more developer friendly ERP out there. I have looked into Microsoft Dynamics but getting information on ERP systems that isn't a bunch of business jargon is next to impossible.
I will be using C# 3.whatever and .NET MVC. | c# | erp | null | null | null | null | open | Developer Friendly ERP

I've been tasked with updating a series of applications which are performance critical VB.NET apps that essentially just monitor and return networking statistics. I've only got three requirements: *convert it to C#, make it fast, and make it stable*
One caveat is that we *"may"* migrate from a .NET platform to linux *"soon"*
I will be responsible for maintaining these apps in the future so I'd like to do this right. I have decided to refactor these apps according to the MVP pattern so that I can properly unit test the hell out of this bad boy. But I was also thinking since I was using MVP that I could also do the computationally expensive stuff in native C/C++ code while the GUI would be done with .NET forms, or Qt or whatever.
questions:
1) does it make sense to do a GUI in winforms but the expensive stuff in native, unmanaged C/C++ ?
2) any recommendations for a good cross platform windowing kit that would fit for the scenario described above?

Specifically that if I'm off-site using a VPN connection, I cannot link to anything outside that VPN connection.
So my local printer at home is off-limits unless I disconnect - a simplistic example of the hampering. I've been pondering whether a VM machine (or two) could circumvent that by fooling the VPN connected session into thinking another VM session is on the corporate network when it's actually local.
