I wouldn't even consider one client notifying another, and I probably also wouldn't have a server notify multiple clients; in my view all information should be in the server, and all initiative should come from clients. So I'd rather have a data scheme that makes it pretty easy to discover when the last relevant change has been made (a last modified field in simple cases; an action in some/all stored procedures for more complex situations, resulting in a simple table entry somewhere), and have all clients poll that. IMO avoiding the need to know who the interested clients are is well worth the cost of periodic polling.

Yeah polling is definately an option we are considering. It's the easiest by far. The problem is, the users are going to want an update every minute. That's a lot of database queries every hour. I was hoping to reduce network chatter while keeping the clients up to date.

depends on your definitions of "many network computers" and "a lot". 
One transaction per minute should be negligible. IMO a lot more would be going on when users start hitting the keyboard to enter data, or to request new reports/views.

I'm going to stick with polling every few minutes, giving the user the option to manually refresh. It's just so much less work. Thanks for your input.

Definitely don't try to have each updater inform all the listeners. That way lies madness.
Whether to implement a simple listening/broadcast service or to have clients poll for updates depends on your detailed requirements, like whether you want updates to appear immediately, how many clients there will be, whether you can open enough sockets to have them all listening, etc. If it's important that updates are sent to clients immediately, you should have some sort of publish-subscribe service that they can use. If it isn't, polling the database for changes (have a LastUpdated field somewhere that is trivial to access so the polls are not resource intensive) every 30s or so should do the job, and is less intensive on the server side (since it doesn't need to hold open persistent sockets).

Hi,
I've done a little bit of research on the subject but couldn't find a clear answer.
Here's the situation: I have two C# projects using WPF and I would like the first project to open a window of the second project. Should I merge the two projects into a single one, or keep them separated?
Thank you in advance.
|
|
|
|

It should be fine to keep them separated. What I would do, if I were you, is change the second one into a class library (it's as simple as changing a setting in the project file).
|

If the interaction is trivial, you can keep them as they are and use the option Pete mentioned. If you expect the interaction to become more complex, you might opt in redesigning the projects into seperate assemblies working together.

I need to fix the English Language as InputLanguage even the user selects Arabic keyboard for particular textbox.
Is it possible?
Once I set Inputlangaue as English, its changing to all textboxes and labels. But Iam looking to fix English language to particular textbox only.
Thanks for the ideas.
Thanks & Regards,
PARAMU

sir i want code for client and server architecture in c#

hello everyone,
i m stuck at this problem. how to track or sens lan card data
using c#. i have to keep eye on a computer communication with other and have to show log
of data that is communicated over a netwok. after lot of searching as i m able to understand it is possible through socket programming. if i m wrong then let me know........
someone help to find out this problem and also suggest me
its a big project or a small module....
i m really thankfull to you...............

If you're talking about capturing only your applications data, then it's quite easy to do.
If you're talking about logging any data that's going in or out of the nic, that's much more difficult, and you can't do it with the socket classes. You'll need WinPcap[^] for that.
BTW, logging all of the data is going to take a TON of resources and could easily slow down the entire machine as well as consume large amounts of memory and disk space.
Keeping track of converstations that you could report on is going to be a bit tedious. You'd have to keep track of which IP's and ports are connected to which other IP's and ports and sort your data based on those.
You'll also have to create your own packet analyzer because looking at raw packet data just isn't useful to human managers.
What you're making is a standard network sniffer and packet analyzer and this is a HUGE project.
BTW, since an estimated one third of the traffic going acrossed the nic is encrypted now-a-days, you won't be able to see what's in those packets. It's just be a ton of garbage data that won't make any sense at all.

yes as my project requirement i have to create log of data that is shared with other computers and
upload or download from internet......
so acc. to you socket class is not helpfull, ok then. Can we track shared files details?
well thank you very much for your reply. it helped me lot......
|
|
|
|
|
I already told you what you use to capture network traffic.
My instincts are screaming at me not to ask this question, but WHY are you trying to see all the network traffic and what does this have to do with tracking shared files?
|
|
|
|
|
Actually i m doning a project related with network monitoring
can we track name of files that is passed through
lan card of personal computer as admin. i already done to find shared folders
detail using WMI class. but its not sufficient it require to refresh code again
n again. so plz tell me its a big project or a simple module.
thank you again.......

Even with this description, it's the exact same project.
The only way to get a filename out of it is if you understand the SMB protocol and anaylze each packet, looking for the appropriate fields.
You can find the specifications for SMB and SMB2 here[^] and here[^].
It would also help if you had a real network sniffer and looked at what's really going over the wire when you perform the operations you are looking for.
Having said all that, that only covers copying a file from one machine to another using normal Windows file copy methods. It doesn't cover HTTP or FTP or any other non-SMB based application protocol.

now i m able to understand depth of this project.
its really big one. its level is high an d i m beginner.
so i change my idea, ok packet sniffer is good one.
firstly i m trying to find download complete event that system shows
after downloading.
thank you so much
|
|
|
|
|
|
ok then
i will try to find ip packets
and other details.......
|
|
|
|
|
Why do you need to create this rather than just finding an existing application that already does it?
|
|
|
|
|
ok, ok friends actually its not my requirement......
my project requirement to monitor lan card data that is passed through
lan card........ 
i know it's complicated. but now i have to know, related classes in c#
and size of project.
actually i already done to monitor shared folder using wmi classes but
it required refreshing again n again...
and also it is not able to monitor data that is communicate over internet.
if you know existing project then plz tell me.
thank you so much...

I can't really tell what you are asking there but I think you are suggesting that you don't actually need to implement it yourself.
So you can look for 'wireshark'.
There is also a many commercial apps, generally firewalls I believe, which can record IP traffic.

i'm new to TPL and , trying to achieve prioritization in tasks using TPL. which means for example , i have to start two tasks parallel (t1 and t2) but i need to give the priority to t1 means both are having messages to deliver but t1 got the highest priority messages so i need to send them before t2 messages. is this possible,
thanx in advance

About the only option you have is in the Task.CreationOptions property. The TaskCreationOptions enum can tell the scheduler to PreferFairness, meaning that tasks created earlier tend to run sooner than tasks created later.
Other than that, you'd have to setup some communication between tasks so they can work out whos going to send messages first.
But, if you have to schedule messages being sent, that sounds like a seperate thread that should maintain it's own message scheduler. Your other tasks would have to submit their messages (with a some priority token) to the scheduler to be sent out.

Hello,
I need to compare two decimals using the greater than sign. One of the decimals is a viewstate object and other decimal is from a textbox. I am doing the following
if (Convert.ToDecimal(ViewState["_first_min_wage"]) < (Convert.ToDecimal(txtSalary.Text)))
it is not going inside this block?
And I tried this as well
if ((Decimal.TryParse(strd1, out d1)) < Decimal.TryParse(txtSalary.Text, out d2)) -- did not work.
Thank you.
