Thanks, this code will be very useful to me.
However, I just want to point out that in my tests DateTime.UtcNow doesn't return the correct time because of the time zone caching. You can try it yourself by using a test similar to the first one I posted.
|

|

That's very strange. The DateTime.UtcNow property simply calls the GetSystemTimeAsFileTime API to get the current UTC system time. There is no caching involved, so the result should be the same as calling the GetSystemTime API directly.

hey guys!
sorry about my english..
======== the context:
- one WebService "A", where the IIS directory security has only the "Windows Integrated Authentication" enable, and authentication mode is "Windows" on web.config.
- IIS Version 5.1
- one WindowsApplication "B", to call some methods from the WebService "A".
- the user running the WinApp "A", belongs to Administrator Group on both machines ("A" app Machine, and "B" app Machine). User account is the same in both places. this will never change...
- I always need to set the Credentials of my proxy obj before call any webMethod (this happen on "B" app)
======== the problem:
- is kind boring, ask for user insert the UserName, Password and Domain all the time, rigth?!
so, is possible set at runtime this informations, wihtout user interactions?
or some way to set anything on web.config or IIS to workaround this problem?
.. I search how build the Credentials dynamically, I can get the current userName and Domain, but what about the password??
any tip will be great!
thanks!

I do a auction system.this software use CS architectur.The client use tcp to communicate with the server.Now I met a question that the firewall refuse the tcp connection of the listening port.I want to look for a appropriate solution in dot net framework which can resolve this problem.
More over,I plan to development an activex control to work together with the client.This activex control has same functions as the client.As so,the communication solution base on a standard specificat maybe needed (such as webservice).It supports the client and avtivex communicate with the server in the same way.But i am afraid that webservice can't satisfy capability requirement.This system require Quote action complete in 500ms.300 sessions in the same time.
want to get your advices.thanks all.

A properly designed web service should be more then capable of handling the load you are talking about. With current hardware you shouldn't even need more then one server. As long as your transaction system can handle the load, putting a web service interface in place shouldn't add more then tens of milliseconds to the transaction, and shouldn't add any scalablilty bottlenecks.
I've dealt with webservices handling sub 100ms response time with 5000+ concurrent "sessions" with 3 year old hardware. Since there wasn't a lot of procesing on the web service layer the database server determined performance to a greater extent.

Thank you!
I am sorry I forgot to explain an important factor.When a client quote a new price other clients must get it rapidly.So the clients must check the new price frequently.About every 200ms 1 times.
I want to know the capability in this case.

In general the true bottlenecks on any system are the network, memory and processor constraints of the systems that your application is running on. What I am saying is that in my experience the .net web service implementation adds a fixed transactional cost based on adding a small amount of processor and memory time and extra message size. You need to test and do a comparison to see if the overhead is too high, but there isn't anything in principle which slow the system down below what you need.
However if your system is already close to the numbers you need then the additional overhead might push you over. The only way to really tell is test.

I am currently working on a phase whose task is to extract each and every frame from an AVI Movie,save it onto Bitmap object and process it.I am doing this task in WEB FORM APPLICATIONS( VISUAL C++ PROJECTS) which is in 1.1 Framework.In visual C++ there is vfw32.lib which serves the purpose.Is there any way to use that lib here.IF there is then how?Or any other library can be used to do the same task?

Hi all,
I've built a Windows Service wich accepts arguments in the main function so I can execute the exe like MyWindowsServ.exe –install.
I can install the service, I can run it, and everything runs ok.
Now, what I wanted to do was to install the service so when it starts it can take some arguments as well.
If you look at the COM+ Event System service properties (for instance) in your control panel, you can see that the path to executable is something like this C:\WINDOWS\system32\svchost.exe -k netsvcs
Is there a way I can add these arguments to my ProcessInstaller or ServiceInstaller or something like that?
Thanks,

Until recently I enjoyed the benefits of .Net Framework v1.1 (for 1 year or so). It is a very simple and flexible framework sustaind by a strong language - c#.
But afther I developped a very simple application someone asked me "how much memory does the application 'eats'". My surprise was to find out that a tiny aplication that uses ADO.NET (a few tables with data from a binary file - 4000 records) goes up to 30 MB. So the first thing that camed into my mind was to test how much RAM needs a WindosApplication Template (VS .Net 2003), the result was 9 MB.
Is there something that can be done to avoid this huge amount of memory spent for the application? .Net is designed in order to run even on Windows 98, but a machine that uses Win 98 may have 64, 32 or even less RAM so the memory necessary for the application will be taken from the virtual memory => a much slower speed...
Did anybody faced this problem or does anybody have any recommendation for lowering the memory necessary for .Net applications?
I hope you understand...because I do not...

No, because you're not looking in the right place to measure the memory consumption.
Yes, there is an overhead for using the .NET Framework and no you can't get rid of it.
Now, like most other people, you probably looked in the Task Manger to see how much RAM was allocated to your process. This is NOT how much memory your process is actually using. The .NET Framework execution environment is a virtual machine with it's own Memory Manager. The .NET Memory Manager grabs a rather large block of memory for your application. Even if you're not using it. This is because it can quickly allocate object on the managed heaps, as opposed to grabbing unmanaged memory, adding it to the managed pool, then allocating your object.
Just because the Task Manager says that your application is taking up X amount of memory, doesn't mean the your application is actually using it. It's RESERVED as far as the .NET Memory Manager is concerned.
Now, on Win98, the memory requirements for using the .NET Framework is at least 32MB of RAM, with 96MB being the recommended minimum. .NET Framework System Requirements[^]

Thank you for your answer...
So you say that because of the large amount of memory avaliable on my machine the framework pre-allocates more (just in case), and that on other machines (with much lesser memory) the framework will pre-allocate lesser... This is a good news for me.
Now I have another question...is there possible to convert .Net code (a binary file) into Machine code, but not at execution time. I mean are thare any compilers capable of converting a .Net application into a standard application (exporting all the used libraryes, or whatever it neads)?
I hope I understand...because is a rough world out there...

Hey,
I assume you are looking for a way to run your code without a framework!
try Thinstall Thinstall HP
I used it for some tests and it works quite fine. But i think "normal" people wont buy it because of the very high price!
|
|
|
|
|
Does anybody knowes an application that is under a free license which can do a result like Thinstall?
Or an free obfuscation tool?
Or should I reorinet my programming skils to develop such applications as the ones mentioned above?
I hope we understand...because is a rough world out there...

Yes and no. The .NET Framework comes with a tool call NGEN that will do just that. But! It converts the code to VERY processor specific code, on the processor that it's running on. Say you compile this code on a Pentium IV Step 5. In all likelyhood, it won't run on a Pentium III or and AMD chip. Now you'll have to generate code for each type of processor, and version of, out there.
Completely impractical...

Do you think an article on Virtual memory and .NET Memory management would be a good idea? This is not the first time someone mistook Task Manager memory values to be the actual memory consumption of the application.

Yes it would. But I don't have the time to write it, or more to the point, support it afterwards.

Is there an easy way to just get the abbreviated for of the current time zone, as opposed to the whole name written out?
And can this be done in Daylight Saving Time as opposed to Standard Time.
So I get EDT instead of Eastern Daylight Time or Eastern Saving Time.
Thanks!

I was recently looking for something like this and didn't find anything. If you absolutely need the abbreviation, you may have to create an array or enum listing them all and do the conversion yourself based on TimeZone.CurrentTimeZone.StandardName.

Ok! I have a .NET (C#) app that I'm having a problem running on a Win 2003 box from a different Win 2003 box. I mean files physically are installed on that second win 2003 server, and I'm trying to start it on this first one. I get security error. I know about that .NET framework wizard that allows you to adjust .NET level of protection to internet/intranet/trusted and so on but that doesn't help.
This doesn't happen on XP/2000. Any ideas!
Thanks a lot in advance!
Please help! It's very urgent!

Code comming from a network source runs under a lot more restrictions than if you were to launch the exact same code from the local hard drive. Use the .NET Framework configuration tool in your Administrative Tools folder to increase the trust for that code running from a network zone.
