I would be happy to show you the code
This class is being used in a VB.NET project. But I plan to use the framework in C# apps.
'Here is the code for Initializing (reading) the options class:
If IO.File.Exists(_FileName) Then
Dim fs As FileStream
Try
fs = File.Open(_FileName, FileMode.Open)
Dim bf As BinaryFormatter = New BinaryFormatter()
userOp = CType(bf.Deserialize(fs, Nothing), ArrayList)
Catch ex As Exception
MessageBox.Show(ex.Message)
End Try
Try
fs.Close()
fs.Dispose()
Catch
End Try
End If
GC.Collect()
'************************
'Here is the code for saving. (Where the error sometimes occurs)
Public Sub SaveToFile()
Dim fs As FileStream = Nothing
Try
'where the error occurs
fs = File.Open(_FileName, FileMode.Create)
Dim bf As BinaryFormatter = New BinaryFormatter()
bf.Serialize(fs, userOp)
Catch ex As Exception
MessageBox.Show(ex.Message)
End Try
Try
fs.Close()
Catch
End Try
End Sub
Thanks for all the help!
may your code be error free

Hi,
I looked at your code (did not run it, I'm a C# guy) and have two suspicions
and several comments; here they are:
1.
it seldom is a good idea to have an empty catch block, since that really
hides any problems that might occur; you should fix that.
2.
rather than printing or showing Exception.Message I strongly advice everyone
to always use Exception.Totring since that gives a traceback plus additional
information depending on the kind of Exception, something Message cannot do
(e.g. the full file name if a file fails somehow, but also some inner exception
in case that occured)
3.
the reason your fs.Close() is in a try-catch with empty catch is, I guess,
that the file might not be open (because the open failed), hence now the
close will fail, and you dont want to see that. Fair enough, but then
you should test for it, as in:
if fs!=Nothing fs.Close() // I hope this is correct syntax for "fs is not nothing"
4.
I did not like GC.Collect() at the end of the reader. It seldom is wise to
attempt and help the GC, it normally is smart all by itself.
5.
suspicion 1:
I did not like ths fs.Dispose() that is present in the reader (but not in
the writer !?); I think it should not be there since fs.Close() takes care
of all resources, and MSDN says File.Dispose() is new since 2.0 but should
not be called ! Not sure how it would influence things tho.
6.
suspicion 2:
maybe, just maybe, your writing method is (sometimes) active while your reading
mehtod is active too, on a different thread. Make sure it is not. If both
do get called from different threads, try to devise a scheme in which the
reader gets aborted so the writer can succeed (a simple lock might not be
good enough since I guess you want to write upon app closure, and an ongoing
reader should not delay the closure)
You could inspect your code for threading stuff, and/or you could set a flag
while the reader is busy (and clear it when it's done), and test for that flag
inside the writer; doing so might confirm the occasional failure coincides with
concurrent reading/writing.
Hope this helps.

Hi
i am using a udp client for recieving..i used beginrecieve method of udp client
byte[] buff = new byte[1024];
soUdp.BeginReceive(new AsyncCallback(ReceiveCallback), buff);
but when i execute i am getting an error
An operation on a socket could not be performed because the system lacked sufficient buffer space or because a queue was full"} System.Exception {System.Net.Sockets.SocketException}
Why is that coming
Thanks in advance
Regards

Hi!
Seems as if you got more than 1K of data reaching the port you're listening to.
Try increasing buff to 4K and see if it's getting better.

mav is right, your buffer is too small.
there is a maximum packet size for TCP/IP (IIRD it is around 1500 B)
and there is one for UDP, but I dont recall, might be the same number.
Your buffer should be large enough to contain such packet.

Hi Luc!
Just to clear things up: I think you refer to the MTU, not the maximum packet size for TCP/IP.
The MTU (maximum transfer unit) is the largest chunk of data that can be transmitted unfragmented. For Ethernet, this is 1500 bytes (this leaves 1472 bytes of data for UDP because of 20 bytes of IP header and 8 bytes of UDP header).
Once the amount of data to send is larger than this, it's split into single, smaller packets and transmitted separately. IP then reassembles the packets automatically so that you can have UDP packets with > 1472 bytes of data.
I found a quite extensive overview of TCP/IP here[^], just in case you're interested.

mav

Hi mav, yes that's what was simmering in my memory.
So there would be no maximum size at all ?
|
|
|
|
|
There is a maximum size, but it depends on the system you're working with; the way the TCP/IP stack is implemented.
I think the absolute maximum will be 64K, but I've read that Sun machines only can handle 32K.
But that's a rather theoretical limit because if you use such large UDP packets they are split into many single packages and if only a single packet gets altered or lost, the whole UDP datagram is discarded because it cannot be reassembled correctly.
So you should keep the data in a single UDP packet as small as possible.

Is it possible to import a method from a DLL and run it as if it were in the same namespace?
The problem I am running into is this (Application = CA2, DLL = AnyDLL) :
1. CA2 references AnyDLL and invokes method in AnyDLL.
2. Method in AnyDLL tries to use GetType to get a class in CA2.
3. Exception happens because the DLL can't see the class in CA2.
Is there any way around this? I would think many different times a person would want to use a method in a DLL as if the code for the method was right there and not in the DLL?
Any help is much appreaciated!

Yeah, does sound like a circular reference. I try to avoid circular references like the plague. My advice would be to factor out the class in your executable to a second assembly. Then the first assembly can reference the second one to access the class. The executable can reference both assemblies to use the classes/methods it needs. This breaks the circular reference and makes things easier to manage and understand.

CA2 references AnyDLL and AnyDLL references CA2? What you have is a circle reference and not a very good design. You either need to redesign or do a better job of explaining what you are trying to do, or want to do.

Thanks for the replies everyone, I'm probably not explaining myself too well...the method I am trying to use from my dll is a method that uses System.Reflection to be able to run any other method by using a string so when I say that the method in AnyDLL is referencing a method in my application pretend that the method could be referencing any method in any other application...essentially I am just trying to get the method in the DLL to run as if it were running directly in the application and not contained in some DLL...is that even possible? I was experimenting w/ DllImport and now I've begun playing around w/ Assembly.LoadFrom("dllname") thanks to an earlier suggestion... any more ideas?

Hi,
some info, not a full solution tho:
- you need DllImport to call unmanaged (i.e. native) code (that resides in a dll)
from managed code (say C# that resides in an exe or another dll), and nowhere else;
if everything is managed, then NO DllImport.
- you can distribute managed code over as many DLL files you want, it does not
really matter; if it needs to bind at run-time (as with reflection), then your
code must find the right DLL; finding the class and member/method inside it
is independent of the EXE/DLL where they reside.
SO my suggestion is: first try to have an EXE perform reflection on itself;
only when you get that working, move the reflecting code to another DLL and
make it work again.

Hi,
if you happen to be familiar with some other programming languages, such as C:
a delegate is very much like a function pointer.
It has one extra twist: it also holds a reference to an object (an instance of
the class that holds the methods code), so a delegate knows which method to invoke on which object.
So if you create a delegate inside object FOO to call method BAR, and then
execute that delegate, it will behave as is you were calling FOO.BAR directly.
BTW if BAR is a static method, FOO would be the class itself, and not an
instance of the class.

A delegate declaration defines a reference type that can be used to encapsulate a method with a specific signature. A delegate instance encapsulates a static or an instance method. Delegates are roughly similar to function pointers in C++; however, delegates are type-safe and secure.

Ok so here's the problem....
I have a solution that contains 2 projects one is the executable and the other is a DLL that I wrote that the application uses... the problem is that method I am using from the dll tries to reference a class and/or method from the application but since it isn't referenced I get an error here is the code:
Application code:
AnyMethod.RunMethod("ProcessModules","Menu"); //ProcessModules being a class in the application.
DLL code:
public static void RunMethod(string myClass, string myMethod)
{
Type myType = Type.GetType(myClass);
MethodInfo myMeth = myType.GetMethod(myMethod);
myMeth.Invoke(null,null);
}
Any ideas? I have a feeling this would use some inheritance feature or something but not sure...still very new to C#...There has to be a way the dll can reference a class in my other namespace without having to hard-code the reference right??

Then why are you trying to invoke methods from string class names and method names? That is a semi advanced topic.
Taicho2k wrote: I have a feeling this would use some inheritance feature or something but not sure
It would be better if you understood fundamentals like that before moving on to advanced topics.
|
|
|
|
|
Because I am experimenting with Reflection...If you could offer up any hints that would be much more helpful than trying to dictate what topics I should research...if I was to solve this problem then that would be a step towards the direction of learning and understanding this topic better...
