168,924 | <p>Let's say I've got two strings in JavaScript:</p>
<pre><code>var date1 = '2008-10-03T20:24Z'
var date2 = '2008-10-04T12:24Z'
</code></pre>
<p>How would I come to a result like so:</p>
<pre><code>'4 weeks ago'
</code></pre>
<p>or</p>
<pre><code>'in about 15 minutes'
</code></pre>
<p>(should support past and future).</p>
<p>There are solutions out there for the past diffs, but I've yet to find one with support for future time diffs as well.</p>
<p>These are the solutions I tried:</p>
<p><a href="http://ejohn.org/blog/javascript-pretty-date/#postcomment" rel="nofollow noreferrer">John Resig's Pretty Date</a> and <a href="http://www.zachleat.com/web/2008/03/23/yet-another-pretty-date-javascript/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Zach Leatherman's modification</a></p>
<p>Bonus points for a jQuery solution.</p>

168,926 | <p>Ok, I'm using the term "Progressive Enhancement" kind of loosely here but basically I have a Flash-based website that supports deep linking and loads content dynamically - what I'd like to do is provide alternate content (text) for those either not having Flash and for search engine bots. So, for a user with flash they would navigate to:</p>
<pre><code>http://www.samplesite.com/#specific_page
</code></pre>
<p>and they would see a flash site that would navigate to the "<code>specific_page</code>." Those without flash would see the "<code>specific_page</code>" rendered in text in the alternative content section.</p>
<p>Basically, I would use php/mysql to create a backend to handle all of this since the swf is also using dynamic data. The question is, does something out there that does this already exist?</p>

168,931 | <p>When you guys are unit testing an application that relies on values from an app.config file? How do you test that those values are read in correctly and how your program reacts to incorrect values entered into a config file?</p>
<p>It would be ridiculous to have to modify the config file for the NUnit app, but I can't read in the values from the app.config I want to test.</p>
<p>Edit: I think I should clarify perhaps. I'm not worried about the ConfigurationManager failing to read the values, but I am concerned with testing how my program reacts to the values read in.</p>

168,946 | <p>Here's my scenario. I created an application which uses Integrated Windows Authentication in order to work. In <code>Application_AuthenticateRequest()</code>, I use <code>HttpContext.Current.User.Identity</code> to get the current <code>WindowsPrincipal</code> of the user of my website.</p>
<p>Now here's the funny part. Some of our users have recently gotten married, and their names change. (i.e. the user's NT Login changes from <code>jsmith</code> to <code>jjones</code>) and when my application authenticates them, IIS passes me their OLD LOGIN . I continue to see <code>jsmith</code> passed to my application until I reboot my SERVER! Logging off the client does not work. Restarting the app pool does not work. Only a full reboot. </p>
<p>Does anyone know what's going on here? Is there some sort of command I can use to flush whatever cache is giving me this problem? Is my server misconfigured?</p>
<p>Note: I definitely do NOT want to restart IIS, my application pools, or the machine. As this is a production box, these are not really viable options.</p>
<hr>
<p>AviD -</p>
<p>Yes, their UPN was changed along with their login name. And Mark/Nick... This is a production enterprise server... It can't just be rebooted or have IIS restarted. </p>
<hr>
<p><strong>Follow up (for posterity):</strong></p>
<p>Grhm's answer was spot-on. This problem pops up in low-volume servers where you don't have a lot of people using your applications, but enough requests are made to keep the users' identity in the cache. The key part of the <a href="http://support.microsoft.com/kb/946358" rel="noreferrer">KB</a> which seems to describe why the cache item is not refreshed after the default of 10 minutes is:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>The cache entries do time out, however chances are that recurring
queries by applications keep the existing cache entry alive for the
maximum lifetime of the cache entry.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>I'm not exactly sure what in our code was causing this (the recurring queries), but the resolution which worked for us was to cut the <code>LsaLookupCacheExpireTime</code> value from the seemingly obscene default of 1 week to just a few hours. This, for us, cut the probability that a user would be impacted in the real world to essentially zero, and yet at the same time doesn't cause an extreme number of SID-Name lookups against our directory servers. An even better solution IMO would be if applications looked up user information by SID instead of mapping user data to textual login name. (Take note, vendors! If you're relying on AD authentication in your application, you'll want to put the SID in your authentication database!)</p>

<p><strong>
The <a href="http://docs.php.net/manual/en/class.httprequestpool.php" rel="noreferrer">HttpRequestPool</a> class provides a solution. Many thanks to those who pointed this out.</p>
<p>A brief tutorial can be found at: <a href="http://www.phptutorial.info/?HttpRequestPool-construct" rel="noreferrer">http://www.phptutorial.info/?HttpRequestPool-construct</a></strong></p>
<hr />
<p><strong>Problem</strong></p>
<p>I'd like to make concurrent/parallel/simultaneous HTTP requests in PHP. I'd like to avoid consecutive requests as:</p>
<ul>
<li>a set of requests will take too long to complete; the more requests the longer</li>
<li>the timeout of one request midway through a set may cause later requests to not be made (if a script has an execution time limit)</li>
</ul>
<p>I have managed to find details for making <a href="http://www.phpied.com/simultaneuos-http-requests-in-php-with-curl/" rel="noreferrer">simultaneuos [sic] HTTP requests in PHP with cURL</a>, however I'd like to explicitly use PHP's <a href="http://php.net/manual/en/book.http.php" rel="noreferrer">HTTP functions</a> if at all possible.</p>
<p>Specifically, I need to POST data concurrently to a set of URLs. The URLs to which data are posted are beyond my control; they are user-set.</p>
<p>I don't mind if I need to wait for all requests to finish before the responses can be processed. If I set a timeout of 30 seconds on each request and requests are made concurrently, I know I must wait a maximum of 30 seconds (perhaps a little more) for all requests to complete.</p>
<p>I can find no details of how this might be achieved. However, I did recently notice a mention in the PHP manual of PHP5+ being able to handle concurrent HTTP requests - I intended to make a note of it at the time, forgot, and cannot find it again.</p>
<p><strong>Single request example (works fine)</strong></p>
<pre><code><?php
$request_1 = new HttpRequest($url_1, HTTP_METH_POST);
$request_1->setRawPostData($dataSet_1);
$request_1->send();
?>
</code></pre>
<p><strong>Concurrent request example (incomplete, clearly)</strong></p>
<pre><code><?php
$request_1 = new HttpRequest($url_1, HTTP_METH_POST);
$request_1->setRawPostData($dataSet_1);
$request_2 = new HttpRequest($url_2, HTTP_METH_POST);
$request_2->setRawPostData($dataSet_2);
// ...
$request_N = new HttpRequest($url_N, HTTP_METH_POST);
$request_N->setRawPostData($dataSet_N);
// Do something to send() all requests at the same time
?>
</code></pre>
<p>Any thoughts would be most appreciated!</p>
<p><strong>Clarification 1</strong>: I'd like to stick to the PECL HTTP functions as:</p>
<ul>
<li>they offer a nice OOP interface</li>
<li>they're used extensively in the application in question and sticking to what's already in use should be beneficial from a maintenance perspective</li>
<li>I generally have to write fewer lines of code to make an HTTP request using the PECL HTTP functions compared to using cURL - fewer lines of code should also be beneficial from a maintenance perspective</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Clarification 2</strong>: I realise PHP's HTTP functions aren't built in and perhaps I worded things wrongly there, which I shall correct. I have no concerns about people having to install extra stuff - this is not an application that is to be distributed, it's a web app with a server to itself.</p>
<p><strong>Clarification 3</strong>: I'd be perfectly happy if someone authoritatively states that the PECL HTTP cannot do this.</p>

168,963 | <p>I have the following code making a GET request on a URL:</p>
<pre><code>$('#searchButton').click(function() {
$('#inquiry').load('/portal/?f=searchBilling&pid=' + $('#query').val());
});
</code></pre>
<p>But the returned result is not always reflected. For example, I made a change in the response that spit out a stack trace but the stack trace did not appear when I clicked on the search button. I looked at the underlying PHP code that controls the ajax response and it had the correct code and visiting the page directly showed the correct result but the output returned by .load was old.</p>
<p>If I close the browser and reopen it it works once and then starts to return the stale information. Can I control this by jQuery or do I need to have my PHP script output headers to control caching?</p>

168,979 | <p>In C++, static library A is linked into dynamic libraries B and C. If a class, Foo, is used in A which is defined in B, will C link if it doesn't use Foo?</p>
<p>I thought the answer was yes, but I am now running into a problem with xlc_r7 where library C says Foo is an undefined symbol, which it is as far as C is concerned. My problem with that is Library C isn't using the class referencing it. This links in Win32 (VC6) and OpenVMS.</p>
<p>Is this a linker discrepancy or a PBCAK?</p>

168,991 | <p>I'd like to be able to (effectively) sort a database view - I know that conceptually order in a db view is invalid, but I have the following scenario to deal with:</p>
<ul>
<li>a third-party legacy application, that reads data from database tables using a select(*) from tablename statement</li>
<li>the legacy application is very sensitive to the order of the records</li>
<li>an application I've written to allow users to manage the data in the tables more easily, but inserts and deletes from the table naturally upset the order of the records.</li>
</ul>
<p>Changing the statement in the legacy application to select (*) from tablename order by field would fix my problem, but isn't an option.</p>
<p>So - I've set up a staging table into which the data can be exported in the right order, but this is a resource-hungry option, means that the data isn't 'live' in the legacy application and is additional work for users.</p>
<p>I'd like to be able to get at an ordered version of the table with these contraints. Any ideas how?</p>
<hr>
<p>Update - I'm working with Sybase 12.5, but I'd like to avoid a tightly coupled solution with a specific RDBMS - it might change.</p>
<p>I cannot add an 'order by' clause to a view, because of SQL standards as referred to in <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/View_(database)" rel="nofollow noreferrer">this Wikipedia entry</a></p>

168,992 | <p>I'm trying to display a series of titles varying from 60 characters to 160 or so and the capitalization varies, some of it all caps, some half caps. When it's mostly lowercase the whole 160 characters of text fits in the width I want, but when it starts getting more caps (they must be wider), it starts over flowing.</p>
<p>Is there a way to use an attractive fixed witdh font (upper and lowercase widths the same too), or dynamically shrink the text to fit, or otherwise recognize how much space the text is going to take on the server side, and cut off the end dynamically? Or do you folks have a better solution?</p>

169,008 | <p>I'm trying to write a regex that will parse out the <strong>directory and filename</strong> of a fully qualified path using matching groups.</p>
<p>so...</p>
<pre><code>/var/log/xyz/10032008.log

<p>would recognize <code>group 1 to be "/var/log/xyz"</code> and <code>group 2 to be "10032008.log"</code></p>
<p>Seems simple but I can't get the matching groups to work for the life of me.</p>
<p>NOTE: As pointed out by some of the respondents this is probably not a good use of regular expressions. Generally I'd prefer to use the file API of the language I was using. What I'm actually trying to do is a little more complicated than this but would have been much more difficult to explain, so I chose a domain that everyone would be familiar with in order to most succinctly describe the root problem.</p>

169,058 | <p>I've got a Win32 C++ app with a suite of unit tests. After the unit tests have finished running, I'd like a human-readable report on any unfreed memory to be automatically generated. Ideally, the report will have a stack with files & line number info for each unfreed allocation. It would be nice to have them generated in a consistent order to make it easy to diff it from one run to the next. (Basically, I would like the results of valgrind --leak-check=full, but on windows). </p>
<p>I've had success with UMDH getting this kind of info from running processes, but that tool only seems to work if you attach to an existing process. I want this to happen automatically every time I run my unit tests.</p>
<p>Is there a tool that can do this? If so, how do I use it? </p>

169,107 | <p>I'm in a situation where I would to generate a script for a database that I could run on another server and get a database identical to the original one, but without any of the data. In essence, I want to end up with a big create script that captures the database schema. </p>
<p>I am working in an environment that has SQL Server 2000 installed, and I am unable to install the 2005 client tools (in the event that they would help). I can't afford RedGate, but I really would like to have a database with identical schema on another server.</p>
<p>Any suggestions? Any simple .exe (no installation required) tools, tips, or T-SQL tricks would be much appreciated.</p>
<p><strong>Update:</strong> The database I'm working with has 200+ tables and several foreign-key relationships and constraints, so manually scripting each table and pasting together the script is not a viable option. I'm looking for something better than this manual solution</p>
<p><strong>Additional Update</strong> Unless I'm completely missing something, this is not a viable solution using the SQL 2000 tools. When I select the option to generate a create script on a database. I end up with a script that contains a CREATE DATABASE command, and creates none of the objects - the tables, the constraints, etc. SQL 2005's Management studio may handle the objects as well, but the database is in an environment where there is no way for me to connect an installation of Management Studio to it.</p>

169,155 | <p>I am using SetCursor to set the system cursor to my own image. The code looks something like this:</p>
<pre><code>// member on some class
HCURSOR _cursor;
// at init time
_cursor = LoadCursorFromFile("somefilename.cur");
// in some function
SetCursor(_cursor);
</code></pre>
<p>When I do this the cursor does change, but on the first mouse move message it changes back to the default system arrow cursor. This is the only code in the project that is setting the cursor. What do I need to do to make the cursor stay the way I set it?</p>

169,170 | <p>I am looking for a way to do a keep alive check in .NET. The scenario is for both UDP and TCP.</p>
<p>Currently in TCP what I do is that one side connects and when there is no data to send it sends a keep alive every X seconds.</p>
<p>I want the other side to check for data, and if non was received in X seconds, to raise an event or so.</p>
<p>One way i tried to do was do a blocking receive and set the socket's RecieveTimeout to X seconds. But the problem was whenever the Timeout happened, the socket's Receive would throw an SocketExeception and the socket on this side would close, is this the correct behaviour ? why does the socket close/die after the timeout instead of just going on ?</p>
<p>A check if there is data and sleep isn't acceptable (since I might be lagging on receiving data while sleeping).</p>
<p>So what is the best way to go about this, and why is the method i described on the other side failing ?</p>

169,186 | <p>I am having a very hard time finding a standard pattern / best practice that deals with rendering child controls inside a composite based on a property value.</p>
<p>Here is a basic scenario. I have a Composite Control that has two child controls, a textbox and a dropdown. Lets say there is a property that toggles which child to render.</p>
<p>so:</p>
<pre><code>myComposite.ShowDropdown = true;
</code></pre>
<p>If true, it shows a dropdown, otherwise it shows the textbox.</p>
<p>The property value should be saved across postbacks, and the the correct control should be displayed based on the postback value. </p>
<p>Any good examples out there?</p>

But what about if you are using getters and setters? Then you need to differeniate the publicly accessible getter name from the privately stored variable. I normally just use an underscore, but is there a better way?</p>

169,217 | <p>In SQL Server you can use the <code>IsNull()</code> function to check if a value is null, and if it is, return another value. Now I am wondering if there is anything similar in C#.</p>
<p>For example, I want to do something like:</p>
<pre><code>myNewValue = IsNull(myValue, new MyValue());
</code></pre>
<p>instead of:</p>
<pre><code>if (myValue == null)
myValue = new MyValue();
myNewValue = myValue;
</code></pre>
<p>Thanks.</p>

169,220 | <p>I'm used to writing classes like this:</p>
<pre><code>public class foo {
private string mBar = "bar";
public string Bar {
get { return mBar; }
set { mBar = value; }
}
//... other methods, no constructor ...
}
</code></pre>
<p>Converting Bar to an auto-property seems convenient and concise, but how can I retain the initialization without adding a constructor and putting the initialization in there?</p>
<pre><code>public class foo2theRevengeOfFoo {
//private string mBar = "bar";
public string Bar { get; set; }
//... other methods, no constructor ...
//behavior has changed.
}
</code></pre>
<p>You could see that adding a constructor isn't inline with the effort savings I'm supposed to be getting from auto-properties.</p>
<p>Something like this would make more sense to me:</p>
<pre><code>public string Bar { get; set; } = "bar";
</code></pre>

169,293 | <p>I'm looking for a make utility for building large java programs. I'm aware of ANT already, but want to see what else is available.</p>
<p>Ideally, it should be able to handle the .java->.class package directory weirdness that fouls up GNU Make.</p>
<p>Win32, but cross platform is a plus.</p>
<p><strong>EDIT:</strong>
I see some cons to using ANT, which is why I wanted to see other options, though I'll probably end up using it anyway, just because it works.</p>
<ul>
<li>requires nontrivial XML makefiles, "HelloWorld" is already 25 lines, and any more reasonable program gets large quickly.
<ul>
<li>The ant tutorials show comparisons of ant build.xml files that are roughly identical to big .bat files that just run all the java commands, only longer. <a href="http://ant.apache.org/manual/tutorial-HelloWorldWithAnt.html" rel="noreferrer">http://ant.apache.org/manual/tutorial-HelloWorldWithAnt.html</a>, I've already got one of those.</li>
<li>Xml means that every single dependency, variable, target, rule and project has extra cruft on it, it just makes lines hard to read. <a href="http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/archives/001114.html" rel="noreferrer">The Angle Bracket Tax</a></li>
</ul></li>
<li>solves all the wrong problems for me.
<ul>
<li>ant makes writing jar and javac command lines easier, generating manifests easier, specifying .java source files easier, specifying jvm/java properties easier, writing custom build tools easier.</li>
<li>ant does not make java class dependencies easier, and does not seem to have a more powerful variable system, both things usually solved by make utilities.</li>
</ul></li>
</ul>
<p>I'd use gnu make, but it can't figure out where the .class file for a .java file with a package declaration is going to end up.</p>

169,303 | <p>I want to be able to run unstrusted ruby code. I want to be able to pass variables to said untrusted code that it may use. I also want said code to return a result to me. Here is a conceptual example of what I am thinking</p>
<pre><code>input = "sweet"
output = nil
Thread.start {
$SAFE = 4
#... untrusted code goes here, it uses the input variable(s)
#to calculate some result that it places in the output variable
}
#parse the output variable as a string.
</code></pre>
<p>Just to clarify, I am basically using the untrusted code as a function. I want to
provide its some inputs, and then allow it to write to the output. That is all I really want, I don't care how it is done, I just want the ability to use untrusted Ruby code as a sort of function. The solution does not have to look anything like the code I wrote above, I am just using it to illustrate what I want.</p>
<p>Now, I can currently think of 3 ways to do this:</p>
<ol>
<li>Use the $SAFE level construct above.</li>
<li>whytheluckystiff has a Sandbox plugin for ruby</li>
<li>I could run each function in its own virtual machine, using some sort of os virtualization software like vmware or Xen or something.</li>
</ol>
<p>I am wondering if anyone has any recommendations for running untrusted ruby code in a functional way? What option would you recomend? How would you go about it? Thanks.</p>

169,332 | <p>I want to use a timer in my simple <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.NET_Framework" rel="nofollow noreferrer">.NET</a> application written in C#. The only one I can find is the Windows.Forms.Timer class. I don't want to reference this namespace just for my console application. </p>
<p>Is there a C# timer (or timer like) class for use in console applications?</p>

169,342 | <p>I have a solution that contains two projects. One project is an ASP.NET Web Application Project, and one is a class library. The web application has a project reference to the class library. Neither of these is strongly-named.</p>
<p>In the class library, which I'll call "Framework," I have an endpoint behavior (an IEndpointBehavior implementation) and a configuration element (a class derived from BehaviorExtensionsElement). The configuration element is so I can attach the endpoint behavior to a service via configuration.</p>
<p>In the web application, I have an AJAX-enabled WCF service. In web.config, I have the AJAX service configured to use my custom behavior. The system.serviceModel section of the configuration is pretty standard and looks like this:</p>
<pre><code><system.serviceModel>
<behaviors>
<endpointBehaviors>
<behavior name="MyEndpointBehavior">
<enableWebScript />
<customEndpointBehavior />
</behavior>
</endpointBehaviors>
</behaviors>
<serviceHostingEnvironment aspNetCompatibilityEnabled="true" />
<services>
<service name="WebSite.AjaxService">
<endpoint
address=""
behaviorConfiguration="MyEndpointBehavior"
binding="webHttpBinding"
contract="WebSite.AjaxService" />
</service>
</services>
<extensions>
<behaviorExtensions>
<add
name="customEndpointBehavior"
type="Framework.MyBehaviorExtensionsElement, Framework, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null"/>
</behaviorExtensions>
</extensions>
</system.serviceModel>
</code></pre>
<p>At runtime, this works perfectly. The AJAX enabled WCF service correctly uses my custom configured endpoint behavior.</p>
<p>The problem is when I try to add a new AJAX WCF service. If I do Add -> New Item... and select "AJAX-enabled WCF Service," I can watch it add the .svc file and codebehind, but when it gets to updating the web.config file, I get this error:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>The configuration file is not a valid configuration file for WCF Service Library.</p>
<p>The type 'Framework.MyBehaviorExtensionsElement, Framework, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null' registered for extension 'customEndpointBehavior' could not be loaded.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Obviously the configuration is entirely valid since it works perfectly at runtime. If I remove the element from my behavior configuration temporarily and then add the AJAX-enabled WCF Service, everything goes without a hitch.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, in a larger project where we will have multiple services with various configurations, removing all of the custom behaviors temporarily is going to be error prone. While I realize I could go without using the wizard and do everything manually, not everyone can, and it'd be nice to be able to just use the product as it was meant to be used - wizards and all.</p>
<p><strong>Why isn't my custom WCF behavior extension element type being found?</strong></p>
<p>Updates/clarifications:</p>
<ul>
<li>It does work at runtime, just not design time.</li>
<li>The Framework assembly is in the web project's bin folder when I attempt to add the service.</li>
<li>While I could add services manually ("without configuration"), I need the out-of-the-box item template to work - that's the whole goal of the question.</li>
<li>This issue is being seen in Visual Studio 2008. <strong>In VS 2010 this appears to be resolved.</strong></li>
</ul>
<p><a href="https://connect.microsoft.com/wcf/feedback/ViewFeedback.aspx?FeedbackID=386511" rel="noreferrer">I filed this issue on Microsoft Connect</a> and it turns out you either have to put your custom configuration element in the GAC or put it in the IDE folder. They won't be fixing it, at least for now. I've posted the workaround they provided as the "answer" to this question.</p>

169,377 | <p>As a hobby I'm interesting in programming an Ethernet-connected LED sign to scroll messages across a screen. But I'm having trouble making a UDP sender in <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_Basic_.NET" rel="nofollow noreferrer">VB.NET</a> (I am using 2008 currently).</p>
<p>Now the sign is nice enough to have <a href="http://support.favotech.com/protocol.specs.2.4.jetfile.pdf" rel="nofollow noreferrer">a specifications sheet on programming for it</a>.</p>
<p>But an example of a line to send to it (page 3):</p>
<pre><code><0x01>Z30<0x02>AA<0x06><0x1B>0b<0x1C>1<0x1A>1This message will show up on the screen<0x04>
</code></pre>
<p>With codes such as <0x01> representing the hex character.</p>
<p>Now, to send this to the sign I need to use <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_Datagram_Protocol" rel="nofollow noreferrer">UDP</a>. However, the examples I have all encode the message as <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ASCII" rel="nofollow noreferrer">ASCII</a> before sending, like this one (from <em><a href="http://www.java2s.com/Code/VB/Network-Remote/UDPClientsendspacketstoandreceivespacketsfromaserver.htm" rel="nofollow noreferrer">UDP: Client sends packets to, and receives packets from, a server</a></em>):</p>
<pre><code>Imports System.Threading
Imports System.Net.Sockets
Imports System.IO
Imports System.Net
Public Class MainClass
Shared Dim client As UdpClient
Shared Dim receivePoint As IPEndPoint
Public Shared Sub Main()
receivePoint = New IPEndPoint(New IPAddress(0), 0)
client = New UdpClient(8888)
Dim thread As Thread = New Thread(New ThreadStart(AddressOf WaitForPackets))
thread.Start()
Dim packet As String = "client"
Console.WriteLine("Sending packet containing: ")
'
' Note the following line below, would appear to be my problem.
'
Dim data As Byte() = System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(packet)
client.Send(data, data.Length, "localhost", 5000)
Console.WriteLine("Packet sent")
End Sub
Shared Public Sub WaitForPackets()
While True
Dim data As Byte() = client.Receive(receivePoint)
Console.WriteLine("Packet received:" & _
vbCrLf & "Length: " & data.Length & vbCrLf & _
System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetString(data))
End While
End Sub ' WaitForPackets
End Class
</code></pre>
<p>To output a hexcode in VB.NET, I think the syntax may possibly be &H1A - to send what the specifications would define as <0x1A>.</p>
<p>Could I modify that code, to correctly send a correctly formated packet to this sign?</p>
<p>The answers from Grant (after sending a packet with hex in it), Hamish Smith (using a function to get hex values), and Hafthor (hardcoded chr() message into example) when attempted all did not work. So I'll research to see what else could go wrong. In theory, if this string is sent successfully, I should have a message containing "OK" back, which will help to know when it works.</p>
<p>I have tried and am now able to monitor the packets going through. A working packet example is this (in raw hex): <a href="http://www.brettjamesonline.com/misc/forums/other/working.raw" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://www.brettjamesonline.com/misc/forums/other/working.raw</a> vs my version: <a href="http://www.brettjamesonline.com/misc/forums/other/failed.raw" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://www.brettjamesonline.com/misc/forums/other/failed.raw</a>. The difference is my hex codes are still not encoded correctly, seen in this side-by-side image: <a href="http://www.brettjamesonline.com/misc/forums/other/snapshotcoding.png" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://www.brettjamesonline.com/misc/forums/other/snapshotcoding.png</a>.</p>
<p>I have used this code to generate the packet and send it:</p>
<pre><code>container = &H1 & "Z" & &H30 & &H2 & "temp.nrg" & &H1C & "1Something" & &H4
' This did not appear to work neither
'container = Chr(&H1) & "Z" & Chr(&H30) & Chr(&H2) & Chr(&H1C) & "1Something" & Chr(&H4)
'<0x01>Z00<0x02>FILENAME<0x1C>1Test to display<0x04> <- the "official" spec to send
Dim sendBytes As [Byte]() = Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(container)
</code></pre>

169,404 | <p>In a <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/168408/c-alternatives-to-void-pointers-that-isnt-templates">related question</a> I asked about creating a generic container. Using polymorphic templates seems like the right way to go.</p>
<p>However, I can't for the life of me figure out how a destructor should be written. I want the owner of the memory allocated to be the containers even if the example constructor takes in an array of <code>T</code> (along with its dimensions), allocated at some other point.</p>
<p>I would like to be able to do something like</p>
<pre><code>MyContainer<float> blah();
...
delete blah;
</code></pre>
<p>and</p>
<pre><code>MyContainer<ComplexObjectType*> complexBlah();
...
delete complexBlah;`
</code></pre>
<p>Can I do something like this? Can I do it without smart pointers?</p>
<p>Again, thanks for your input.</p>

169,420 | <p>I've been looking for a generic way to deal with bidirectional associations and a way to handle the inverse updates in manual written Java code.</p>
<p>For those who don't know what I'm talking about, here is an example. Below it are my current results of (unsatisfying) solutions.</p>
<pre><code>public class A {
public B getB();
public void setB(B b);
}
public class B {
public List<A> getAs();
}
</code></pre>
<p>Now, when updating any end of the association, in order to maintain consistency, the other end must be updated as well. Either manually each time </p>
<pre><code>a.setB(b);
b.getA().add(a);
</code></pre>
<p>or by putting matching code in the setter / getter and use a custom List implementation.</p>
<p>I've found an outdated, unmaintained project whose dependencies are no longer available (<a href="https://e-nspire-gemini.dev.java.net/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://e-nspire-gemini.dev.java.net/</a>). It deals with the problem by using annotations that are used to inject the necessary code automatically.</p>
<p>Does anyone know of another framework that deals with this in a generic, unobtrusive way ala gemini?</p>
<p>ciao,
Elmar</p>

169,435 | <p>How can I view the intermediate translation done to JSP and JSPX pages by WTP? I'm getting weird syntax errors in my Problems tab of Eclipse in a project that has plenty of .jspx pages. They don't affect anything in the running application (Tomcat 6.0) and they appeared only over the last 2 weeks, after an update.</p>
<p>The reason why I'd like to view the output is that I'm using the Stripes framework at <a href="http://stripesframework.org" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://stripesframework.org</a> and the errors disappear for a particular .jspx file after I remove the <stripes:errors /> line of that file. At the same time, the syntax errors only appeared after I did recent fresh install of Eclipse at work, but then an update of Eclipse at home shortly therafter. I'd like to see the output to determine whose problem this should be (WTP, Stripes, or maybe just me :).</p>
<p>Remember that this issue is somewhat cosmetic, as it doesn't affect anything functionally. It simply spams my Problems tab in Eclipse and shows the little red X icons in the project explorer.</p>

169,450 | <p><em>Information-Expert</em>, <em>Tell-Don't-Ask</em>, and <em>SRP</em> are often mentioned together as best practices. But I think they are at odds. Here is what I'm talking about.</p>
<p>Code that favors SRP but violates Tell-Don't-Ask & Info-Expert:</p>
<pre><code>Customer bob = ...;
// TransferObjectFactory has to use Customer's accessors to do its work,

<pre><code>Customer bob = ...;
// Now Customer is doing more than just representing the domain concept of Customer,
// violates SRP
CustomerDTO dto = bob.toDTO();

<p>Please fill me in on how these practices can co-exist peacefully.</p>
<p>Definitions of the terms,</p>
<ul>
<li><p>Information Expert: objects that have the data needed for an operation should host the operation.</p></li>

169,511 | <p>How do I iterate over a range of numbers in Bash when the range is given by a variable?</p>
<p>I know I can do this (called "sequence expression" in the Bash <a href="http://www.gnu.org/software/bash/manual/bashref.html#Brace-Expansion" rel="noreferrer">documentation</a>):</p>
<pre><code> for i in {1..5}; do echo $i; done
</code></pre>
<p>Which gives:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>1 <br/>
2 <br/>
3 <br/>
4 <br/>
5</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Yet, how can I replace either of the range endpoints with a variable? This doesn't work:</p>
<pre><code>END=5
for i in {1..$END}; do echo $i; done
</code></pre>
<p>Which prints:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>{1..5}</p>

169,512 | <p>I recently began using <a href="http://www.eclipse.org/birt/phoenix/deploy/" rel="noreferrer">BIRT</a> and have developed a report to use with my <a href="http://developer.mozilla.org/en/XULRunner" rel="noreferrer">xulrunner</a> application. What I haven't yet figured out is how I should deploy the viewer. It seems like BIRT mostly targets Java applications, so there are instructions for deploying on J2EE, JBoss, and other technologies -- with which I am not familiar (but I'm not developing in Java anyway).</p>
<p>Reviewing <a href="http://www.onjava.com/pub/a/onjava/2006/07/26/deploying-birt.html" rel="noreferrer">this article</a> on deploying BIRT and reviewing the <a href="http://www.eclipse.org/birt/phoenix/deploy/" rel="noreferrer">deployment details</a> on BIRT's web site, I'm not sure where to go. I wasn't expecting to have to add some large Java dependency for the xulrunner application --is there no way I can drop an executable in with my xulrunner app, call it from my app, and pass it a report document? (Or something else that would be simpler than learning and using J2EE, JBoss, tomcat?)</p>

169,529 | <p>So I have a ListView with an upper limit of about 1000 items. I need to be able to filter these items using a textbox's TextChanged event. I have some code that works well for a smaller number of items (~400), but when I need to re-display a full list of all 1000 items, it takes about 4 seconds.</p>
<p>I am not creating new ListViewItems every time. Instead, I keep a list of the full item collection and then add from that. It seems that the .Add method is taking a long time regardless. Here is a little sample:</p>
<pre><code>this.BeginUpdate();
foreach (ListViewItem item in m_cachedItems)
{
MyListView.Add(item);
}
this.EndUpdate;
</code></pre>
<p>I have tried only adding the missing items (i.e., the difference between the items currently being displayed and the total list of items), but this doesn't work either. There can be a situation in which there is only one item currently displayed, the user clears the textbox, and I need to display the entire list.</p>
<p>I am not very experienced in eeking performance out of .NET controls with a large sample like this, so I don't really know a better way to do it. Is there any way around using the .Add() method, or if not, just e better general solution?</p>

169,555 | <p>Greetings,</p>
<p>I need to include a property in my class which is a collection of System.IO.FileInfo objects. I am not really sure how to do this and how I would add and removed objects from an instance of the the class (I would assume like any other collection). </p>
<p>Please let me know if I need to add more information.</p>
<p>Thank you</p>
<p>Update: Am I approaching this the wrong way? I have read comments that adding to a collection which is a property is bad practice. If this is true what is good practice? I have a bunch of objects I need to store in a collection. The collection will be added to and removed from before a final action will be taken on it. Is this a correct approach or am I missing something?</p>

169,562 | <p>Ok, my actual problem was this: I was implementing an <code>IList<T></code>. When I got to <code>CopyTo(Array array, int index)</code>, this was my solution:</p>
<pre><code>void ICollection.CopyTo(Array array, int index)
{
// Bounds checking, etc here.
if (!(array.GetValue(0) is T))
throw new ArgumentException("Cannot cast to this type of Array.");
// Handle copying here.
}
</code></pre>
<p>This worked in my original code, and still works. But it has a small flaw, which wasn't exposed till I started building tests for it, specifically this one:</p>
<pre><code>public void CopyToObjectArray()
{
ICollection coll = (ICollection)_list;
string[] testArray = new string[6];
coll.CopyTo(testArray, 2);
}
</code></pre>
<p>Now, this test should pass. It throws the <code>ArgumentException</code> about not being able to cast. Why? <code>array[0] == null</code>. The <code>is</code> keyword always returns false when checking a variable that is set to <code>null</code>. Now, this is handy for all sorts of reasons, including avoiding null dereferences, etc. What I finally came up with for my type checking was this:</p>
<pre><code>try
{
T test = (T)array.GetValue(0);
}
catch (InvalidCastException ex)
{
throw new ArgumentException("Cannot cast to this type of Array.", ex);
}
</code></pre>
<p>This isn't exactly elegant, but it works... Is there a better way though?</p>

<p>How do you keep these config files updated? Do you just manually copy them over? Do you have them stored somewhere public?</p>

169,596 | <p><strong>EDIT:</strong> <em>I'm still waiting for more answers. Thanks!</em></p>
<p>In SQL 2000 days, I used to use temp table method where you create a temp table with new identity column and primary key then select where identity column between A and B.</p>
<p>When <strong>SQL 2005</strong> came along I found out about <code>Row_Number()</code> and I've been using it ever since...</p>
<p>But now, I found a serious performance issue with <code>Row_Number()</code>.
It performs very well when you are working with not-so-gigantic result sets and sorting over an identity column. However, <strong>it performs very poorly</strong> when you are working with <strong>large result sets</strong> like over 10,000 records and <strong>sorting it over non-identity column</strong>. <code>Row_Number()</code> performs poorly even if you sort by an identity column if the result set is over 250,000 records. For me, it came to a point where it throws an error, "<strong>command timeout!</strong>"</p>
<p><strong>What do you use to do paginate a large result set on SQL 2005?</strong>
Is temp table method still better in this case? I'm not sure if this method <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20211020131201/https://www.4guysfromrolla.com/webtech/042606-1.shtml" rel="noreferrer">using temp table with SET ROWCOUNT</a> will perform better... But some say there is an issue of giving wrong row number if you have multi-column primary key.</p>
<p>In my case, I need to be able to sort the result set by a date type column... for my production web app.</p>
<p>Let me know what you use for <strong>high-performing pagination in SQL 2005</strong>. And I'd also like to know a smart way of creating indexes. <strong>I'm suspecting choosing right primary keys and/or indexes (clustered/non-clustered) will play a big role here.</strong></p>
<p>Thanks in advance.</p>
<p>P.S. <strong>Does anyone know what stackoverflow uses?</strong></p>
<p><strong>EDIT:</strong> Mine looks something like...</p>
<pre><code>SELECT postID, postTitle, postDate
FROM
(SELECT postID, postTitle, postDate,
ROW_NUMBER() OVER(ORDER BY postDate DESC, postID DESC) as RowNum
FROM MyTable
) as DerivedMyTable
WHERE RowNum BETWEEN @startRowIndex AND (@startRowIndex + @maximumRows) - 1
</code></pre>
<p>postID: Int, Identity (auto-increment), Primary key</p>
<p>postDate: DateTime</p>
<p><strong>EDIT:</strong> Is everyone using Row_Number()?</p>

169,610 | <p>I'm writing a function that gets the path environment variable of a system, splits up each path, then concats on some other extra characters onto the end of each path.</p>
<p>Everything works fine until I use the <code>strcat()</code> function (see code below).</p>
<pre><code>char* prependPath( char* exeName )
{
char* path = getenv("PATH");
char* pathDeepCopy = (char *)malloc(strlen(path) + 1);
char* token[80];
int j, i=0; // used to iterate through array
strcpy(pathDeepCopy, path);
//parse and split
token[0] = strtok(pathDeepCopy, ":"); //get pointer to first token found and store in 0
//place in array
while(token[i]!= NULL) { //ensure a pointer was found
i++;
token[i] = strtok(NULL, ":"); //continue to tokenize the string
}
for(j = 0; j <= i-1; j++) {
strcat(token[j], "/");
//strcat(token[j], exeName);
printf("%s\n", token[j]); //print out all of the tokens
}
}
</code></pre>
<p>My shell output is like this (I'm concatenating "/which" onto everything):</p>
<pre><code>...
/usr/local/applic/Maple/bin/which
which/which
/usr/local/applic/opnet/8.1.A.wdmguru/sys/unix/bin/which
which/which
Bus error (core dumped)
</code></pre>
<p>I'm wondering why <code>strcat</code> is displaying a new line and then repeating <code>which/which</code>.
I'm also wondering about the <code>Bus error (core dumped)</code> at the end.</p>
<p>Has anyone seen this before when using <code>strcat()</code>?
And if so, anyone know how to fix it?</p>
<p>Thanks</p>

169,624 | <p>I was looking into sorting tables by a column designated given some input, and from what I've found, there is no easy way to do this. The best I've found is a switch statement: </p>
<pre><code>SELECT Column1, Column2, Column3, Column4
FROM Table
ORDER BY CASE WHEN @OrderBY = 'Column1' THEN Column1
WHEN @OrderBY = 'Column2' THEN Column2
WHEN @OrderBY = 'Column3' THEN Column3
WHEN @OrderBY = 'Column4' THEN Column4
</code></pre>
<p>Is it possible to do this without having a <code>CASE</code> statement like that? If the table gets bigger and more columns need to be sorted by, this could become messy.</p>
<p>The only way I've been able to do this is by just concatenating a big SQL string, which sort of defeats the advantages of Stored Procedures, and makes the SQL hard to write and maintain.</p>

169,721 | <p>I keep hearing that Flex is open source and I figured that a great way to learn about the inner workings would be to look at it. I can easily find the Flex SDK (<a href="http://opensource.adobe.com/wiki/display/flexsdk/Get+Source+Code" rel="noreferrer">http://opensource.adobe.com/wiki/display/flexsdk/Get+Source+Code</a>), but I'm wanting to look at the class definitions for the MXML core library (like NumericStepper). Have I misunderstood, or is this kind of thing available somewhere?</p>
<p>Note, I'm looking for the source of some core MXML components so I can see how they work internally, not for the compiler's source. Does what I've linked above have what I'm looking for and I just can't find it in the director structure?</p>

169,799 | <p>I'm trying to get into java again (it's been a few years). I never really did any GUI coding in java. I've been using Netbeans to get started with this.</p>
<p>When using winforms in C# at work I use a usercontrols to build parts of my UI and add them to forms dynamically. </p>
<p>I've been trying to use <code>JPanels</code> like usercontrols in C#. I created a <code>JPanel</code> form called <code>BlurbEditor</code>. This has a few simple controls on it. I am trying to add it to another panel at run time on a button event. </p>
<p>Here is the code that I thought would work:</p>
<pre><code>mainPanel.add(new BlurbEditor());
mainPanel.revalidate();
//I've also tried all possible combinations of these too
//mainPanel.repaint();
//mainPanel.validate();
</code></pre>
<p>This unfortunately is not working. What am I doing wrong?</p>

<p>I won't give guidelines as to how to structure answers, or what's "too easy" to be considered a gotcha, since that's what the voting is for.</p>

169,817 | <p>I'm thinking the answer is no, but I'd love it it anybody had any insight into how to crawl a tree structure to any depth in SQL (MySQL), but with a single query</p>
<p>More specifically, given a tree structured table (id, data, data, parent_id), and one row in the table, is it possible to get <em>all</em> descendants (child/grandchild/etc), or for that matter all ancestors (parent/grandparent/etc) without knowing how far down or up it will go, using a single query?</p>
<p>Or is using some kind of recursion require, where I keep querying deeper until there are no new results?</p>
<p>Specifically, I'm using Ruby and Rails, but I'm guessing that's not very relevant.</p>

169,818 | <h2>What should happen when I call <code>$user->get_email_address()</code>?</h2>
<h3>Option 1: Pull the email address from the database on demand</h3>
<pre><code>public function get_email_address() {
if (!$this->email_address) {
$this->read_from_database('email_address');
}
return $this->email_address;
}
</code></pre>
<h3>Option 2: Pull the email address (and the other User attributes) from the database on object creation</h3>
<pre><code>public function __construct(..., $id = 0) {
if ($id) {
$this->load_all_data_from_db($id);
}
}
public function get_email_address() {
return $this->email_address;
}
</code></pre>
<p>My basic question is whether it's best to minimize the number of database queries, or whether it's best to minimize the amount of data that gets transferred from the database.</p>
<p>Another possibility is that it's best to load the attributes that you'll need the most / contain the least data at object creation and everything else on demand.</p>
<p>A follow-up question: What do ORM abstraction frameworks like Activerecord do?</p>

<p><strong>Edit</strong>: Microsoft just released the <b>RTM version of Database Edition (GDR)</b> which adds support for SQL Server 2008 - link is <a href="http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=bb3ad767-5f69-4db9-b1c9-8f55759846ed&displaylang=en" rel="nofollow noreferrer">here</a>.

169,829 | <p>INotifyPropertyChanged is fairly self explanatory and I think I'm clear on when to raise that one (i.e. when I've finished updating the values).<br>
If I implement INotifyPropertyChanging I'm tending to raise the event as soon as I enter the setter or other method that changes the objects state and then continue with any guards and validations that may occur. </p>
<p>So I'm treating the event as a notification that the property may change but hasn't yet been changed, and might not actually finish changing successfully. </p>
<p>If consumers of the object are using this property (like let's say LINQ to SQL using the event for change tracking) should I be holding off and only raising the event once I have validated that the the values I've been given are good and the state of the object is valid for the change? </p>
<p>What is the contract for this event and what side effects would there be in subscribers?</p>

169,877 | <p>Being new to test based development, this question has been bugging me. How much is too much? What should be tested, how should it be tested, and why should it be tested? The examples given are in C# with NUnit, but I assume the question itself is language agnostic.</p>
<p>Here are two current examples of my own, tests on a generic list object (being tested with strings, the initialisation function adds three items <code>{"Foo", "Bar", "Baz"}</code>):</p>
<pre><code>[Test]
public void CountChanging()
{
Assert.That(_list.Count, Is.EqualTo(3));
_list.Add("Qux");
Assert.That(_list.Count, Is.EqualTo(4));
_list[7] = "Quuuux";
Assert.That(_list.Count, Is.EqualTo(8));
_list.Remove("Quuuux");
Assert.That(_list.Count, Is.EqualTo(7));
}
[Test]
public void ContainsItem()
{
Assert.That(_list.Contains("Qux"), Is.EqualTo(false));
_list.Add("Qux");
Assert.That(_list.Contains("Qux"), Is.EqualTo(true));
_list.Remove("Qux");
Assert.That(_list.Contains("Qux"), Is.EqualTo(false));
}
</code></pre>
<p>The code is fairly self-commenting, so I won't go into what's happening, but is this sort of thing taking it too far? <code>Add()</code> and <code>Remove()</code> are tested seperately of course, so what level should I go to with these sorts of tests? Should I even have these sorts of tests?</p>

169,902 | <p>Given two image buffers (assume it's an array of ints of size width * height, with each element a color value), how can I map an area defined by a quadrilateral from one image buffer into the other (always square) image buffer? I'm led to understand this is called "projective transformation".</p>
<p>I'm also looking for a general (not language- or library-specific) way of doing this, such that it could be reasonably applied in any language without relying on "magic function X that does all the work for me".</p>
<p>An example: I've written a short program in Java using the Processing library (processing.org) that captures video from a camera. During an initial "calibrating" step, the captured video is output directly into a window. The user then clicks on four points to define an area of the video that will be transformed, then mapped into the square window during subsequent operation of the program. If the user were to click on the four points defining the corners of a door visible at an angle in the camera's output, then this transformation would cause the subsequent video to map the transformed image of the door to the entire area of the window, albeit somewhat distorted.</p>

169,904 | <p>I'm using HttpListener to allow a user to set up a proxy on a user-defined port. When I start the HttpListener, I get an exception if the application isn't running under administrator privileges in Vista.</p>
<p>From what I've read, <a href="https://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/feedback/ViewFeedback.aspx?FeedbackID=93940" rel="noreferrer">this is expected behavior</a> - administrator privileges are required to start listening on a port. But I'm sure there are ways around this, as I run plenty of programs (like Skype) which listen on a port without requiring elevation to administrator.</p>
<p>Is there a way to do this with HttpListener? If not, can I make other API calls in .NET code to set up the port?</p>

169,925 | <p>I want to convert a string into a double and after doing some math on it, convert it back to a string.</p>
<p>How do I do this in Objective-C?</p>
<p>Is there a way to round a double to the nearest integer too?</p>

170,004 | <p>Let's say:</p>
<pre><code><div>
pre text
<div class="remove-just-this">
<p>child foo</p>
<p>child bar</p>
nested text
</div>
post text
</div>
</code></pre>
<p>to this:</p>
<pre><code><div>
pre text
<p>child foo</p>
<p>child bar</p>
nested text
post text
</div>
</code></pre>
<p>I've been figuring out using Mootools, jQuery and even (raw) JavaScript, but couldn't get the idea how to do this.</p>

170,019 | <p>I have an API that is dependent on certain state information between requests. As an easy first version of the code, I am simply using PHP session's to store the state information instead of something more advanced (APC, memcache, DB). Throughout my initial testing in a web browser, everything worked perfectly. However, it seems that when clients try to connect through non-browser methods such as Curl or wget, the state information is not being preserved. </p>
<p>Will a PHP session only be created if a browser is requesting the page? I am explicitly starting the session with session_start() as well as naming it before hand with session_name(). </p>
<p><strong>An added note</strong>. I learned that one of the major problems I was having was that I was naming the session instead of setting the session id via session_id($id); My intention in using session_name() was to retrieve the same session that was previously created, and the correct way to do this is by setting the session_id not the session_name. </p>
<p>It seems that session information will be persisted on the server as noted below (THANK YOU). But to keep this you must pass the session id, or, as in my case, any other id that would uniquely identify the user. Use this id as the session_id and your sessions will function as expected. </p>

170,021 | <p>We are currently running a SQL Job that archives data daily at every 10PM. However, the end users complains that from 10PM to 12, the page shows a time out error.</p>
<p>Here's the pseudocode of the job</p>
<pre><code>while @jobArchive = 1 and @countProcecessedItem < @maxItem
exec ArchiveItems @countProcecessedItem out
if error occured
set @jobArchive = 0
delay '00:10'
</code></pre>
<p>The ArchiveItems stored procedure grabs the top 100 item that was created 30 days ago, process and archive them in another database and delete the item in the original table, including other tables that are related with it. finally sets the @countProcecessedItem with the number of item processed. The ArchiveItems also creates and deletes temporary tables it used to hold some records.</p>
<p><strong>Note:</strong> if the information I've provide is incomplete, reply and I'll gladly add more information if possible.</p>

170,028 | <p>This seems very noisy to me. Five lines of overhead is just too much.</p>
<pre><code>m_Lock.EnterReadLock()
Try
Return m_List.Count
Finally
m_Lock.ExitReadLock()
End Try
</code></pre>
<p>So how would you simply this?</p>

170,036 | <p>Does windows have any decent sampling (eg. non-instrumenting) profilers available? Preferably something akin to Shark on MacOS, although i am willing to accept that i am going to have to pay for such a profiler on windows.</p>
<p>I've tried the profiler in VS Team Suite and was not overly impressed, and was wondering if there were any other good ones.</p>
<p>[Edit: Erk, i forgot to say this is for C/C++, rather than .NET -- sorry for any confusion]</p>

170,051 | <p>I'm trying to make things simpler. Here is my code:</p>
<pre><code> If Threading.Monitor.TryEnter(syncRoot) Then
Try
'do something
Finally
Threading.Monitor.Exit(syncRoot)
End Try
Else
'do something else
End If
</code></pre>
<p>This is even worse than the ReaderWriterLock in terms of noise.
I can use C# or VB, so answers applying to either will be welcome.</p>
