Re: database design question Dave Kreskowiak27-Dec-04 12:41 Dave Kreskowiak 27-Dec-04 12:41  This reeks of classwork... Only you can answer these questions. They depend entirely on your requirements. If you want the user to be able to select the make and model, then yes, they have to be in the database. Otherwise, the user will have to add them to the database using some other method so they can be selected at a later date. As far as your second question, why would you put a payment type on a customer record? This would normally be in a payment or billing transaction table...

Try it yourself and if you have problems, you can ask specific questions about the problem your having. We help those who help themselves. You can start by reading SIM Programming with the .NET Compact Framework[^]. This explains how to use the SIM Manager API, which is part of the TAPI API. There is no TAPI support built into the .NET Framework, so you'll have to write your own wrapper classes, or search the web for a publicly available wrapper.

I would like to know what's the best way to accomplish sync. in an arraylist when using multiple threads. I' m using "synclock Coll.SyncRoot" and then "End synclock" (duh). Is this method rather "strong" for it blocks other threads that also use this? And what about if i use the synchronized method and the IsSynchronized property, is this approach better than the last case? Another question is i read in the help doc. that " Hashtable can safely support one writer and multiple readers concurrently". Won't the write affect enumerations done by the readers? Thanks in advance. Re: Best way to synchronize collection?

Is this method rather "strong" for it blocks other threads that also use this? It's supposed to block other threads. That's the whole point behind synchronized access. carlos_rocha wrote: that " Hashtable can safely support one writer and multiple readers concurrently". Won't the write affect enumerations done by the readers? If you keep reading the doc's, you'll see that enumeration is intrinsically not a thread-safe operation. This is because the collection can be modified while the eneration is taking place, and hence, can corrupt the enumeration process. If your going to enumerate the collection, lock it on SyncRoot first, preventing all other threads from doing anything, including writes, with the collection, though, I think you can figure out the pitfalls of doing this... If you want a synchronized collection that supports one writer and multiple readers simultaneously, use the .Synchronized() method to return a thread synchronized wrapper around your Hashtable and use this version of your Hashtable for all accesses.

Thanks for your reply.The thing is that i have several threads but only two of them are acessing the arraylist, which contains info on the "working" threads.One of these two is like a monitor thread that checks every once in a while for exited threads and then removes an item from the arraylist.At the same time the other main thread in also reading the list and as new threads are created another node is added in the arraylist.So, only these two threads manipulate the arraylist.What's best? Use syncLock or .synchronized() ? Thanks in advance. Re: Best way to synchronize collection? Dave Kreskowiak27-Dec-04 9:07 Dave Kreskowiak 27-Dec-04 9:07  It really doesn't matter, based on the requirements you just gave. If that's all you're doing and one of those threads is just a lazy garbage collector, then there will be no performance issues with using either method. If it were up to me, I'd probably use the .Synchronized() method just to save myself from writing my own synchronization management code.

Thanks in advance. Never say never Problem with Access Briga26-Dec-04 23:30 Briga 26-Dec-04 23:30  Hi, I'm stuck with an Access (XP) DB. In the .mdb I have two tables, I load them in a dataset (with the same tables) and I work with the data. Up to here, everything is fine. To save back data in the DB I use a code I got from MSDN. Two different, but very similar, codes for each table. With one it works, not with the other! Here's the code: Dim conn As New OleDb.OleDbConnection Dim SelectCMD As OleDb.OleDbCommand Dim CustomCB As OleDb.OleDbCommandBuilder Dim DBAdapter As New OleDb.OleDbDataAdapter DB.AcceptChanges() conn.ConnectionString = String.Concat("Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data source=", cfgDBDirectory, "\x.mdb") Try conn.Open() SelectCMD = New OleDb.OleDbCommand("SELECT * FROM Coordinate", conn) SelectCMD.CommandTimeout = 30 DBAdapter.SelectCommand = SelectCMD CustomCB = New OleDb.OleDbCommandBuilder(DBAdapter) DBAdapter.Update(DB.Coordinate) Catch ex As Exception MessageBox.Show(String.Concat("Errore nell'accesso alla base dati archivio:", ex.ToString), "RFGPRII", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Error) End Try End Sub The exception I got report a problem with the INSERT function. With the other table, code equal but table names, everything works! Thanks for the help Briga Re: Problem with Access Dave Kreskowiak27-Dec-04 4:45 Dave Kreskowiak 27-Dec-04 4:45  What is the EXACT exception message? Without it, there's nothing we can do to help you. My first GUESS would be that there was a problem with a duplicate primary key, but of course, I'm only guessing... RageInTheMachine9532 "...a pungent, ghastly, stinky piece of cheese!" -- The Roaming Gnome Re: Problem with Access Briga28-Dec-04 23:45 Briga 28-Dec-04 23:45  Well things are weird. I also added an XML just for text. So I load the DB with .readxml and before using the Update methos I also save it to an XML file with WriteXML. In the beginning I got problem with XML in reading (not in saving) due to invalid values. I changed every field as nillable and now it works (XML). The Update method doesn't generate any exception anymore but the .mdb is empty. The new code is: DB.AcceptChanges() DB.WriteXml("c:\RF.XML") ' *** salvataggio XML conn.ConnectionString = String.Concat("Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data source=", cfgDBDirectory, "\rfgprii.mdb") Try conn.Open() SelectCMD = New OleDb.OleDbCommand("SELECT * FROM Coordinate", conn) SelectCMD.CommandTimeout = 30 DBAdapter.SelectCommand = SelectCMD CustomCB = New OleDb.OleDbCommandBuilder(DBAdapter) DBAdapter.Update(DB.Coordinate) Catch ex As Exception MessageBox.Show(String.Concat("Errore nell'accesso alla base dati archivio:", ex.ToString), "RFGPRII", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Error) End Try Now I also put a rem in front of the .writexml just to see if that instruction was affecting the Update. Still it generates no exception but the .mdb is empty. So to recap the exception was due to the nillable parameter (although there were no null values) and it's gone. The problem now is that the Update method does not work. The DB is empty. Any clues?
