i want to create web server that have video(realtime)
and i dont know that how to do.
i saw msn can display video(realtime) from client to client.
you can help me

You're going to have to be much more specific about what you want to do. Are you thinking of writing the video server or some client to show the video or both?

Using something along the lines of the following:
XslCompiledTransform transform = new XslCompiledTransform();
transform.Load(Constants.XSLTFile);
using (XmlReader reader = XmlReader.Create(new System.IO.StringReader(sb.ToString())))
{
using (TextWriter textWriter = new StreamWriter(Constants.OutputFile, false, Encoding.GetEncoding("Windows-1252")))
{
transform.Transform(reader, null, textWriter);
}
}
The goal here is to create a text file from XML using XSLT. For auditing purposes need to know how many rows being written to the text file after the tranformation.
All help is appreciated.
Regards,
Boris

You could create a class that derives from StreamWriter[^], then override the appropriate Write methods. In your overrides, you would check for the TextWriter.NewLine chars.
Take care,

I have a quad core machine, how many threads can an application domain handle?
How can I determine the capabilities of the machine at runtime to know how many buckets, and threads I can/should use?

I don't know but I would guess it is more than you would want to use. Does that help?
steve_a_p wrote: How can I determine the capabilities of the machine at runtime to know how many buckets, and threads I can/should use?
So you believe the point of interest to your situation is knowing the maximum number of threads that your environment will allow you to allocate?

Hi,
Environment.ProcessorCount could be useful.
Having lots of threads that (try to) do similar things is not helping since all these
threads will compete for the same resources (either CPU cycles, cache hits, memory bandwidth,
whatever). So I would not exceed twice the processor count for identical threads.

So ProcessorCount * 2 formula... that's good. Now do you have a citation for that?

Thank you for the information. The optimal number of threads equals the number of processors on a system and it shouldn't exceed twice the processor count. Correct? Why not 3 times?

The main message is it is not tens of threads: just adding more and more threads will
increase the overhead and not reduce the overall execution time. And it does depend on
the thread function: if it is pure computation, one thread per processor will do;
if there is I/O latency involved, two per processor will be better (and more typically
does not help due to I/O limitations); if it is a pure Sleep() you can have as many as
you want.
The good thing is if you organize things around Environment.ProcessorCount:
1. you can try another factor and observe what it brings you.
2. your app is less likely to suddenly behave badly when you move it to a system with
a different processor count (which may well happen when you fix the number of threads).
And as Patrick pointed out, you are not completely in charge:
1. with .NET you will not (easily) control which thread runs on which processor;
2. other apps and services will be running too.

Can I just say, this entire discussion in the context of the .NET Framework is a waste of time. The Framework provides no control over where those threads are going to execute, nor do they provide synchronization capabilities across processor cores.
The only limit on the number of threads you can actually create is the limit of the addressable memory space on the machine.
If you really need a parallelized application, the .NET Framework is not the platform to use. If you need this, you should be using something like MPI, OpenMP, or a newer solution by Intel called Threading Building Blocks (http://osstbb.intel.com/[^]) which is aware not only of separate processors, but distinct processor cores.
So far as I am aware, there are no .NET wrappers for those libraries. You'd be using C/C++.
Once you get to those libraries, a question of how many threads to use becomes heavily dependent on what each thread is doing and the overall architecture of a parallelized application.

Yeah, it is not perfect, but my main objective was to warn against too many threads;
some people seem to expect performance increases linearly with the number of threads,
which obviously is not true at all.
So for a single processor I often give the following approach:
"as a first approximation, this is what you could do: write and run the code to use a
single thread; observe the CPU load (with Task Manager) as a percentage.
The inverse number is the number of threads you want, so if it is close to 100% extra
threads won't bring you anything; if it is near 25% using four threads MIGHT
increase the performance by four, bringing the CPU load to 100%. More threads
than that won't help you."
And one should not forget the obvious approach to increasing performance, is by optimizing
the application at all levels: algorithms, data structures, coding, compiler settings, etc.

So just because a better threading lib exists in C one shouldn't use threading in .NET? Weird logic. I've used multithreading in dozens of situations in .NET and although it is not "aware" of the number of physical processors/cores it generally does a good job. Why? Because the operating system takes care of it.

Of course not. I was responding specifically in the context of counting threads based on the number of processors you have. That's pointless in .NET.
Yes, the OS will do some thread parallelization for you, but if you actively want to use those processors you have to use lower level languages with specialized libraries.
There's nothing wrong with threading, but you have to understand your problem and the limitations of various solutions before you start creating tons of threads thinking it will solve your problem, as Luc accurately points out.

Not totally. I agree that you cannot be 100% sure that if you run 4 threads in .NET that every thread will run on its own core (although it does it very often). Nevertheless you have a "hint" on how many parellel threads might be good. If you know you have only one core than you would normally not start several threads (assumming its only about number crunching).
But I agree with your other points.

And I also agree with you there

Sorry but that is counter the VB way of life. You "start" by dragging and dropping controls onto a form. All the rest of the development is insignificant overpaid typing.

Hello everybody,
I have gone through lot many articles regarding the SOAP in webServices. I did many applications in the windows service in .net2005. Now my new requirement is to create a new windows service which can do two things: 1) it should be able to service a SOAP call by reading the MySQL db and generate a SOAP enevelpe. And 2) It should also run for every x-seconds/x-mins.
I am carrying out this task in C#.net2005. And MySQL.
Can anybody help me out in getting me the correct theory and code articles, because in my research.. i am getting deviated everytime.
So, please can anybody help me out..
Thanks in Advance

Can you break that out? Like:
1) Receive and parse a SOAP Request ( over what protocol)?
2) Query a MySQL database
3) Generate and send a SOAP Response ( over what protocol)?

Thanks Mike,
Task-1:
It should be able to do query and update MySQL database in backend for every x number of seconds.
Task-2:
And meanwhile, if it receives the SOAP request, it should do the following activities:
1) The windows service should be able to receive and parse a SOAP Request over HTTP protocol
2) Query and update a MySQL database
3) After updating the database, it should send a message(example: "Your Request Processed")as SOAP Response or SOAP Envelope over HTTP protocol.
Any related articles or the code samples in C#.net 2005, is of more help to me.
Thanks
Anee
