File.Open Although it is basically the same thing.
Waiting for the exception will not be slow though. You try to open the file, and if it can't it tells you so in the form of an exception. If no exception is thrown then you know the file has been opened succesfully.
It's probably much better than calling CreateFile then checking the handle.

The only way is to try and open it. How do you know if a door is locked if you don't try to open it first, psychic powers?

That's what I thought, it just seemed slower when catching the exception and retrying.

Thanks for the link but even the referenced articles state that exception handling should not be used used in normal application flow, they should be as the name says "exceptions" whereas in my application it is perfectly possible that another process or thread may have the file open and so I need to retry until it becomes available.
On a side note, when using FileStreams it also seems that the internal file handle is not closed immediately (they are used within a using block) as I get a lot of exceptions opening files that were previously open and are no longer open.

If the file is opened within a thread you control, then perhaps you could set something up to track which files you have open. Then you could just check against the tracker.
Perhaps this tracker could also fire events so that other threads wouldn't have to keep checking to see if the file is available. Maybe even a waiting list so you can see how many threads are waiting to open a file, you could even prioritize the list.... the possibilities are endless. But err, maybe just a list of files you have open.

Asalamoalekum all,
friends my objective is to achieve indexing of any video(any format DVD, AVI etc) on the basis of the vocal emotions like humourus, tradegic, action. video should be segmented into scenes(in respective categories) on the click with respect to the frequencies spectrums(patterns) of the voices in the video.
can anybody guide me any way to achieve this goal.
how should i take a start to it in C# ??
please highlight basic features that will be required to accomplish my target!
please suggest any software to download which can covert audio frequencies to values!
thanking you!
waiting for reply.......
God bless you all!
regards,
Sana

Can you please explain what your purpose is by indexing video in such a way. May be there is a work around.

Thanks to all of you for giving response!
from INDEXING VIDEO i mean:
any interface which allow opening a video, then if i want to have look at only humours scenes in the video i just click a button(whose back coding is fixed with particular audio frequency range which helps in identifying humour in conversation) and all the scenes which contain humour in it are all listed and then i can click them one by one to enjoy..similarly with the other types of emotions(tradegic, action)... HOPE U GOT MY POINT!
"ITS NOT MY FINAL YEAR PROJECT"
"I am not well knowned to C# so dont know whether it has any contro which allow video adding...as it allows image adding using picture box....please guide me"
again thanks in advance for further help!

It sounds like you are well out of your depth here. I would try a simpler project and build up to something like this.

I would recommend hiring a programmer to do the work for you.

Complex sh*t... You should have knowledge of:
- video file formats
- digital signal processing
- data mining & expert systems
This sounds like a final project for college. Am I right?

hello everybody .
I have a little problem. I have a little problem. I have added the TextboxColumn to the datagridview. I want to add event keyUP to that TextBoxColumn. How can I do this?
please provide some some solution.

|
|

You wouldn't create a KeyUp event for the column, you would need to create the event for a DataGridViewTextBoxCell[^] in that column

Hi I am writing a netflow collector in C# and for some or other reason the TcpListener object does not go into a pending state as the netflow packets arrive. Does anybody know of a workaround for this. The code follows
<pre>
using System.IO;
using System.Net;
using System;
using System.Threading;
using N = System.Net;
using System.Collections;
class TalkServ
{
System.Net.Sockets.TcpListener server;
protected String file = "";
protected int port = 4055;
public static void Main(String [] args)
{
TalkServ TS = null;
try
{
TS = new TalkServ(args[0],args[1]);
}
catch (Exception e)
{
Console.WriteLine("\nMust specify a file path as first parameter...\nThe file is used to capture netflow data...");
Console.WriteLine("\nMust specify a port as second parameter...\nThe port is the netflow port...");
}
}
public TalkServ(string f,string p)
{
port = Convert.ToInt32(p);
server = new System.Net.Sockets.TcpListener(port);
file = f;
while (true)
{
server.Start();
if (server.Pending())
{
N.Sockets.TcpClient connection = server.AcceptTcpClient();
Console.WriteLine("Connection made");
BackForth BF = new BackForth(connection,file);
}
}
}
}//end of class TalkServ
class BackForth
{
N.Sockets.TcpClient client;
System.IO.StreamReader SR;
string file;
public BackForth(System.Net.Sockets.TcpClient c,String f)
{
client = c;
file = f;
Thread t = new Thread(new ThreadStart(init));
t.Start();
}
private void run()
{
try
{
string l = "";
while (true)
{
l = SR.ReadLine();
if (l != null)
{
if (!l.Equals(""))
{
StreamWriter writer = new StreamWriter(file, true);
writer.WriteLine(l);
writer.Close();
Console.WriteLine(l);
}
}
}
}
catch (Exception e44) { Console.WriteLine(e44); }
}
private void init()
{
SR = new System.IO.StreamReader(client.GetStream());
Thread t = new Thread(new ThreadStart(run));
t.Start();
}
}
</pre>

I found this site called MSDN, it has so many answers, like the following:
Remarks
This non-blocking method determines if there are any pending connection requests. Because the AcceptSocket and AcceptTcpClient methods block execution until the Start method has queued an incoming connection request, the Pending method can be used to determine if connections are available before attempting to accept them.
Wow!

Yes but this does not answer my question. I know what it is used for I just don't seem to pick up the netflow data with my application. It soesn't pick up any connection. Can anybody help with this.

If you are not sending any data, that will just continue to loop forever.
Stephen Lintott wrote: It soesn't pick up any connection. Can anybody help with this.
I dont know the netflow protocol, you sure it is the correct port and protocol? From what I read it uses UDP or SCTP, neither of which you are using.

OK now we are getting some where. Could you maby supply a code sample for me. I am new to network programming in C# (Normally java). This would help a great deal just for the UDP connections and so on.

You are getting somewhere. No, I do not have code off by hand. Best will be for you to figure it out, and learn how to do it. You are studying to become a programmer, right?

Look at the UdpClient class, it can send and receive IIRC.

I'd like to deep-copy the ListCollectionView. How can I do that? I have tried several techniques but the most of techniques that I tried are not working. Any idea would be appreciated.
|
|
|
|
|
Deep copy, as in clone the objects too?
|
|
|
|
|
yes but i dont want to have an reference of the original object.
For example ~
List<Person> persons = new List<Person>;
public void populateDataAndBindItToTreeView(){
///.........
}
public void UpdateData(){
List<Person> newPersons = new List<Person>;
/// Do something here.
DeepCopy(persons, newPersons); // will update the persons and treeview.
}
Thanks and Regards,

Which object, the list or the contents? Is Person clonable?
