I have a .NET website which queries the DB using Entity Framework every 3 seconds for the status of the transaction using AJAX and updates the page. This status is set by an external client using a RESTful webservice hosted on another server. I want to avoid hitting the DB every 3 seconds for each transaction so want this information cached in memory. The REST webservice updates the cache and website reads from it. Is there any FOSS or commercial Out of Process Shared Cache library that I can use to speed up the performance?
We are thinking about using the enterprise library caching framework in our asp.net 3.5 application to store small datatables of our most hit products. Is there a way to write an outside process, like a console application, to remove these datatables, if needed? For example, a client can come in and update the data for a product, which will make the datatable stored in cache out of date. When this happens, I would like an outside application go into the cache and remove or even update the cache with the new data.
I have a page with a number of user controls, In one of my user controls I have a button event. I turn on output cache for the user control that has the button and vary by control using the ID property of a hidden field control in the user control. whenever I turn on the output cache my button event doesn't fire.
If I watch the processes tab in Task Manager on the web server I see "cmd.exe" under the context of 'administrator' but it just hangs. For test purposes c:SendV80s.bat: copy c: oot.ini c:zzz.txt
If I logon onto the webserver's console and execute SendV80s.bat it works and exits without issue. But when I execute the same batch file via the Submit button it gets stuck executing in Task Manager/Process. I believe this has something to do with the fact that cmd is not running in a full environment/desktop context. I just noticed this on the actual console of the webserver (not in my RDP console but console 0 instead)
A pop-up box stating: CMD.exe Application error The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000142). Click OK to terminate the application. And when I click on the OK button my ASPX page's WaitForExit is satisfied and the continues processing normally.
I know that similar questions have been asked all over the place, but I'm having trouble finding one that relates directly to what I'm after.
I have a website where a user uploads a data file, then that file is transformed and imported into SQL. The file could be up to 50mb in size, and some times this process can take 30 minutes or sometimes even longer.
I realise I need to palm off the actual work to another process, and poll that process on the web page. I'm wondering what the best approach would be though? Being a web developer by trade, I'm finding all this new Windows Service stuff a bit confusing, and I just wanted somewhere to start.
So:
Can I do / should I being doing this with a windows service? if so, how?
Should I use WCF? If this runs under IIS, will I have problems with aspnet_wp.exe recycling and timing out my process?
clarifications
The data is imported into sql, there's no file distribution taking place.
If there is a failure, it absolutely MUST be reported to the user. The web page will poll every, lets say, 5 seconds, from the time the async task begins, to get the 'status' of the import. Once it's finished another response will tell the page to stop polling for status updates.
queries on final decision
ok, so as I thought, it seems that a windows service is the best idea. So as to HOW to get it to work, it seems the 'put the file there and wait for the service to pick it up' idea is the generally accepted way, is there a way I can start a process run by the service, without it having to constantly be checking a database table / folder? As I said earlier, I don't have any experience with Windows Services - I wondered if I put a public method in the service, can I call it somehow?
I keep receiving an exception with the message "Logon failure: unknown user name or bad password". Im absolutelly sure that i'm submiting my correct username/pwd
I've developed a popup email .aspx used on our intranet based web app that is auto generated with .pdf's attached. I'm developing with VS 2008 ASP.Net 3.5 C# and System.Net.Mail.MailMessage. I can create and send the email with no issues. The problem is with any attempt to open or delete the attachments I get the above error. The .pdf's a copied with the following code:
FileStream fsr = new FileStream(inFilename, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read, FileShare.Read); BinaryReader reader = new BinaryReader(fsr); byte[] bytes = new byte[fsr.Length]; reader.Read(bytes, 0, bytes.Length); FileStream fsw = new FileStream(outFileName, FileMode.Create, FileAccess.Write, FileShare.Write); BinaryWriter writer = new BinaryWriter(fsw); writer.Write(bytes, 0, bytes.Length); // clean up writer.Flush(); writer.Close(); writer = null; fsw.Close(); fsw.Dispose(); fsw = null; reader.Close(); reader = null; fsr.Close(); fsr.Dispose(); fsr = null; Later after sending the email I: mailMessage.Dispose(); mailMessage = null; foreach (string fileName in attachments) { if (File.Exists(fileName)) File.Delete(fileName); }
The error occurs at: the File.Delete(fileName);
how I can delete or reopen these files after sending the email?
I have a .NET infra code running both within the IIS worker process and within a desktop client app. How can the .NET code determine whether it is running within an IIS worker process?
I know that I could check the name of the process (w3wp.exe, for instance), but I would like a more robust approach. I wish to make a side note. This is not a production need. I need this information to enable certain scenarios useful during the development and testing phase. Specifically to ease the testing of secure vs non secure configurations.
When I hit the run button (in my Default.aspx), a process starts (this process contacts a webservice to get some files, etc). How do I: Ensure that only a single process is running at a time (i.e. if I refresh the browser, I don't want to start the process a second time)Track progress - there are 4 points of the process (at 25%, 50%, 75%, 100%) that I want to track, and when each part completes, I want to update the progress bar. I have a status object for the running process, but the question is how to update the progress bar automatically? Do I need to use threads to achieve the above two?
My code is that I want to create a log file and log it upon a new user browsing the site. However, what i did was I put in a 6 second delay and then used another browser to access the page. And it threw an Exception saying it is being used by another process which is true. So how come I set it so that, if IT is being used by another process, WAIT and retry every 500 milliseconds until it becomes free/available?
here's the code:
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) {if (!IsPostBack) // if this is the first time page loads, set k to 1 { lognewuser(); }}
I am having the text file which is used to track all the ip address which is available in the network and replace the content from"Reply from 172.29.116.3: bytes=32 time=1ms TTL=255" to 172.29.116.3.
For this task i am having 2 functions 1.runCMD() Function is used to create a file which ping all the ip address between 3 to 254 ("Reply from 172.29.116.3: bytes=32 time=1ms TTL=255").
2.Another function textFileReplace() which is used to replace the text from "Reply from 172.29.116.3: bytes=32 time=1ms TTL=255" to 172.29.116.3.
This process will continue every 30 minutes..
But i am having the error while accessing the function textFileReplace() as The process cannot access the file 'C:inetpub' because it is being used by another process.
I have a stored procedure which fetches data after joining 8-9 tables and inserts that into a temp table. It was running fine till now, but now when the amount of data fetched have exceeded 20000, the SP is breaking. I have debugged the sp and found that this main query is failing after returning arround 15000-16000 records.
The error message says Transaction (Process ID) was deadlocked on lock resources with another process and has been chosen as the deadlock victim. Rerun the transaction. I know what is deadlock, but when i checked with SP_LOCK stored proc i only found that my process is running on database only. So how is this getting deadlocked when there are no other processes running simultaneously on server.
When I delete all files from the directory path. then it will give me this error The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process. How to solve this?
I am getting binary data from a SQL Server database field and am creating a document locally in a directory my application has permissions. However I am still getting the error specified in the title. I have tried numerous suggestions posted on the web including those suggested in previous posts on Stackoverflow. I have also used ProcessExplorer > Find Handle to locate the lock and it returns nothing as if the file is not locked.
I am using the code below to save the file to the file system and I then try to copy this file to a new location later in the application process within another method. It is this copy method that takes the path of the newly created file that throws the exception.
The file itself is created with its content and i can open it through Windows Explorer without any problems.
Am I missing something completely obvious? Am I creating the file correctly from the database?
// Get file from DB FileStream fs = new FileStream( "C:myTempDirectorymyFile.doc", FileMode.OpenOrCreate, FileAccess.Write); BinaryWriter br = new BinaryWriter(fs); br.Write("BinaryDataFromDB"); fs.Flush(); fs.Close(); fs.Dispose(); // Copy file File.Copy(sourceFileName, destinationFilename, true);
I am using a AsyncUpload(telerik), i am in a point where i am supposed to save the File to a certain Folder. First I check if the directory exist
Code: Dim baseDire As String = Server.MapPath("~/MyFILES/") If IO.Directory.Exists(baseDire & Request("Req_ID").ToString()) = False Then IO.Directory.CreateDirectory(baseDire & Request("Req_ID").ToString()) End If
Because i am doing multiple Upload , i will have to loop through the items of the Upload control and save to a folder.
Code: For Each file As UploadedFile In UploadPropDoc.UploadedFiles Dim bytes(file.ContentLength - 1) As Byte file.InputStream.Read(bytes, 0, file.ContentLength) 'Save the File to the disk file.SaveAs(baseDire + file.GetName()) Next
Now when ever i debug this , when it comes to this line
Code: file.SaveAs(baseDire + file.GetName())
I get an Error
The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.
I have removed the Readonly in the Folder that it supposed to write to and gave everyone permission , but still the error persist.
I am trying to download a file from the server but i am getting this error:
The process cannot access xxxx the file because it is being used by another process
This is my CODE: string fileName="DownLoadFiles"; string filePath = hid_filepath.Value; FileInfo file = new FileInfo(filePath); System.Net.WebClient wc = new System.Net.WebClient(); wc.DownloadFile(new Uri(fileName, filePath);
Foe ur Information:the file is not opened or not used.
I want to use caching technique for .js,.css and images( to avoid round trips and to improve performance of page load) .So, on IIS 7 using Http Response Header, i set Content Expriation to 7 days.Now, on browser its caching which is avoiding round trips for static content ...which is good sign.Now, i modified one of the .js file and i deployed that .js file on server and due to caching my new code is not reflecting on client machines .So i tried lot of ways and here is what i tried after deployment of new .js file After deployment of new .js file
1) I manually delete all the browser cache(cookies,urls,forms,page content etc) on internet explorer
2) used ctrl + f5 to get refresh
3) again on IIS i went back Http Response Header section and set Content Expriation to never
My target browser is IE.None of them worked,Finally i renamed my .js file to different file name and changed code to make use of that new .js file ..but no luck on this too .Because what i set intially for 7 days still my client machine remembers that.
How do i tell IIS server to refresh cached content code , when some thing got changde on .js or .cssfiles?
I asked a question a while back on here regarding caching data for a calendar/scheduling web app, and got some good responses. However, I have now decided to change my approach and stat caching the data in javascript. I am directly caching the HTML for each day's column in the calendar grid inside the $('body').data() object, which gives very fast page load times (almost unnoticable). However, problems start to arise when the user requests data that is not yet in the cache. This data is created by the server using an ajax call, so it's asynchronous, and takes about 0.2s per week's data.
My current approach is simply to block for 0.5s when the user requests information from the server, and cache 4 weeks either side in the inital page load (and 1 extra week per page change request), however I doubt this is the optimal method. how to improve the situation? To summarise:
Each week takes 0.2s to retrieve from the server asynchronously. Performance must be as close to real-time as possible. (however the data is not needed to be fully real-time: most appointments are added by the user and so we can re-cache after this) Currently 4 weeks are cached on either side of the inial week loaded: this is not enough. to cache 1 year takes ~ 21s, this is too slow for an initial load.
I am just trying to understand the basics flow to the MVC framework by putting in some breakpoints in the beginning of the actions of a couple of controllers.
One break point is at the HomeController/Index action where it just returns View() of the "Welcome to MVC". The Second break point is at a SecondController/Index action where it uses the Entity Framework and returns a View() of a list from the db.
When I run this in debug, it breaks at the points I expected when I go from Home page to the Second page controller and back to Home. However, when I go to the Second page again, it doesn't break at all? Is the results of the Second page being cached and how and where? How do you trigger for it to get check if data is old?
I check to see if the persistence is done on the db, by changing the value of a field on the db side and it still did not cause it to break on that action and displays old information in the view. I am concerned because it is displaying incorrect values on the UI. I do not have the OutputCache attribute above this action or specified any cache on my web.config.
I have a table that stores songs and plays counter. Here's the code:
//Increse plays counter string ip = Request.UserHostAddress; if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(ip)) { if (Cache["plays:" + trackID + ":" + ip] == null) { tracks.IncreasePlaysCounter(trackID); Cache["plays:" + trackID + ":" + ip] = true; } }
I wonder what would be a better practice, store many cache items(like this) or store one item like a ArrayList that would contain the users who already heard that song. Is there any difference?
