Async Thread To Run Executable
Nov 16, 2011
I have a page which has populated a database with a set of information that needs to be processed. This could take a considerable amount of time and I want it to run in the background, mean while I will have my web app display a page with an intermittent meta refresh showing me progress of the records in the DB being processed.
What I think I need to do is start an executable, in a different thread running in the backgound on the server which will run until it is complete, without interfering with other web activity.
Can this be done? Do I start it in a different thread? How can I start the exe in that thread and just leave it to do its work?

I maintain a ASP.NET web application that causes a user's network connection to reset for several seconds when it executes a procedure. Therefore, the page request times out on the user's end as they never receive the web application's response (the connection dies before it gets the response packet).
To resolve this situation, I was contemplating having the ASP.NET page execute an asynchronous function that incorporates a Thread.Sleep(5000); // sleep for 5 seconds before executing the connection reset This way, the browser has 5 seconds to receive the page's response before their connection resets.
I have concerns with using Thread.Sleep and asynchronous functions in ASP.NET though. I've never attempted to do it before, so I'm unsure of the potential problems it may cause. Does anyone see potential problems with starting an asynchronous thread that contains a Thread.Sleep in an ASP.NET application?

I'm new to threading and have used it successfully, but limited. I can spawn a thread and have the main thread reference variables in the spawned thread, but I don't know how to allow the spawned thread to reference (and update) variables in the main thread.
Any example threading code I've seen on the web appears to be WAY more complicated than what I do, so I am unable to understand or integrate into my code.
Here is a quick example of how I use threading:

I am reading the Asp.net security documentation on msdn.I come across these tow terms and get really confused.
# WindowsIdentity = WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent()
which returns the identity of the security context of the currently executing Win32 thread.
# Thread = Thread.CurrentPrincipal
which returns the principal of the currently executing .NET thread which rides on top of the Win32 thread.

I have a password page and when someone enters an incorrect password I want to simply foil a brute force attack by having
bool isGoodPassword = (password == expected_password);
lock (this)
{
if (!isGoodPassword)
Thread.Sleep(2000);
}
I would expect that this would allow all correct passwords without stalling, but if one user enters a bad password another successful password from a different user would also be blocked. However, the lock doesn't seem to lock across ASP.NET threads.

I want to call an Executable from a Web Page. I used the following code :
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("c:\WINDOWS\system32\notepad.exe");
Works fine when executing (debugging) from Visual Studio. But when deployed as a website on IIS, the UI of the Notepad application is not seen. As it is executed as an anonymous user (Network Service in IIS 6.0) it is seen in task manager but cannot be seen as an executing application.
So now I applied Impersonation :
Code file (ASPX.cs File)
System.Security.Principal.WindowsImpersonationContext impersonationContext;
impersonationContext = ((System.Security.Principal.WindowsIdentity)User.Identity).Impersonate();
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("c:\WINDOWS\system32\notepad.exe");
impersonationContext.Undo();
(Web.Config)
<authentication mode="Windows" />
<identity impersonate="true" userName="DomainUserName" password="password" />
In the application's virtual Directory in IIS go to properties and go to Directory Security Tab. In the Authentication and access controlclick Edit. Default Settings are: Enable anonymous access and Integrated Windows authentication are checked. This will give the following Error : An anonymous identity cannot perform an impersonation......................

What are the alternatives to System.Diagnostics API for running external EXE or BAT files under IIS hosted web application?
I would like to run external EXE program from my ASP.NET-MVC web application. I don't need to wait till the program exits. I just want to start the program. The execution can take some time or it may crash, so I would like to run it separatelly from IIS in such a way that the web application only triggers its execution.

I'm doing a project in component management system. I need to block executable files from getting uploaded. Blocking should not be based on the extensions. For example, i've a file named abc.exe i'm going to change the file extension to abc.jpg in this case that abc file should not get updated. Similar to that in gmail file attachment.

I have created and application which contains a gridview that is populated by an SQL database. I built a function which converts the gridview into an excel file and stores it on the server.
I would just like to know how I can write an executable script(which I will set to run at a certain time on the server) that will access the gridview in the .aspx file containing the gridview and run the convertToExcel() function located in the .cs file attached to the .aspx file and then close.

I am developing and app to find automatically characters stats with the 2nd edition dnd rules to be easy for my party to create characters when we play.
I am using Visual studio 2010 c sharp express and Sql 2008 express R2.I have added a database in the project to have all the data needed. When I use the release folder or the debug folder on other pcs the app doesn't run. Wherever I install SQL server (database and management) things are fine. I googled but I am not sure what to look exactly for and made a brief search here but with no results. I am trying to make sth that has almost no dependencies but well I can't avoid installing .net framework 4 everywhere...
Is there anyway to make database work without installing SQL? Is there any workaround like a dll or sth?

I have a MVC project in a test environment with an AsyncController. I have a pair of methods, ...Async and ...Completed and it seems to work well.The thing is that I've seen examples where the Async method has arguments such as....
public void IndexAsync(AsyncCallback callback, object state)
In my project that defintion yields "No parameterless constructor defined for this object." When I remove the arguments like this...
public void IndexAsync()
it runs fine. I'd like to explore some examples that use these arguments. Where do they come from? How can I get them...

I'm putting together a web app that will process time consuming jobs in the background.so for example 100 users are on the site 20 of them submit jobs to the server. these 20 jobs get added to a list and the background worker pickes them up one by one. I want to be able to have up to 10 background workers doing the tasks.
for scaleability the job list is likely to be a database table, however at the proof of concept stage I will probably use an application variable (stack of some sort) with a GUID to identify each job.
So I *think* what I need is ....
a single background worker process that starts when the web app starts.This process monitors the stack / job list. It dynamically creates a worker process for the first item, removes the job from the stack and increments the thread count.If there is a second job it creates another thread (up to 10) and increments the thread counter.When each thread finishes it closes itself and decrements the thread count.
If I move to the database table job list would it be better to have ASP.Net add jobs and a windows service do the processing?
