In my website, I need to do a repetitive task which should not affect the main activity and performance of the website.
So I think I need to use threading. I am new into threading in .Net.
How to use threading is .NET?
First of all, I'm not a pro on IIS configuration topic.With that being said, I got a website written in VB.NET 3.5 Web Forms. I have a small web service, ASMX, running as a part of this website. One page on the website calls the web service with AJAX (jQuery $.ajax function, post). The server is running Windows 2003 and IIS 6.0. The website and the web service are sharing the same Application Pool.

How do I get rid of this repetitive code? I need to define "CSsFiles" somewhere in my code only once and not thrice like above, then use that function or whatever for ALL the Editor controls on my page.
What is the best method in T-SQL 2008 for extending a table's records with the criteria of 'repeating' all fields but the Primary KEY e.g. Consecutive Date for the previous n Records.
So you have for example 7 records (Easy...2 Fields. Date and nvarchar) with th Date runing from Jan-01 to Jan-07
We want to extend the table by 21 records...so
Record 1,8,15,22 will look identical apart from the DateField.
Record 2,9,16,23 will look identical apart from the DateField. etc...etc..
I have tried a number of methods ...all coming up short....
I have a table for labels in SQL server, in this table i hold all the text for all the labels i use in my website. The reason i am doing this is because i creating a bilingual site, which will display two languages on one page at the same time. The other language being arabic.
So what this means is that whenever a page loads, it needs to go and fetch the text of the labels from the database to display them on the page.
the way i have done this is that i have created a class called labels, and in this class i have created two methods, one called GetEnglishLabel(ID) and the Other Called GetArabicLabel(ID). Both methods take an ID, which corresponds to the id in the sql server database. Each of these functions is using LinqToSql to get the text for the label for the given ID.
My problem is that for every label i need to call this function, so as you might imagine on one page i might have over a hundred calls to these functions on page_load.
what is threading and how it is done?
Is there any difference between threading in web applications and threading in winforms applications
I've written a aspx.net(C#) page that after the user has done what they do on the page they hit a Submit button. The Submit button
1) takes the work the users was producing on the page and writes it to a file.
2) attempts to execute a batch file.
The call to the batch file is executed via:
protected void Execute123EDI()
{
try
{
string File = @"c:80sAdminSendV80s.bat";
lblCancelled.Text = lblCancelled.Text + File;
Process proc = new System.Diagnostics.Process();
proc.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = false;
proc.StartInfo.LoadUserProfile = false;
proc.StartInfo.UserName = "administrator";
proc.StartInfo.RedirectStandardOutput = true;
System.Security.SecureString secPass = new System.Security.SecureString();
string paswd = "123abc";
for (int i = 0; i < paswd.Length; i++)
{
secPass.AppendChar(paswd[i]);
}
proc.StartInfo.Password = secPass;
proc.StartInfo.FileName = File;
proc.Start();
FileStream fs = new FileStream(@"c:80sAdminSendV80sOutput.log", FileMode.Append);
StreamWriter sw = new StreamWriter(fs);
sw.Write(proc.StandardOutput.ReadToEnd());
proc.WaitForExit();
sw.Close();
proc.Close();
}
catch(Exception ex)
{
lblDebug.Text = lblDebug.Text + ex.Message + "<br/>";
}
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.
MSDN says that MemoryCache's instance members are not thread safe. (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.runtime.caching.memorycache(VS.100).aspx)
Does that mean every time I call Get() or Add() in a action method I have to wrap it with a lock?
I want to use my functions in DAL asynchronously by executing them in a separate thread. The issue in all this is suppose I have a function DAL.GetProducts() which returns a DataTable. If I execute this function in a separate thread, when it is completed how do I get the returned DataTable from this thread and bind it to my UI?
View 3 RepliesI 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'm working on an ASP.net app I'm trying to execute a process remotely , using System.Diagnostics.Process class here's my code:
ProcessStartInfo startInfo = new ProcessStartInfo(@"C:TestCommand.exe");
startInfo.Domain = "myDomain";
startInfo.UserName = "MyUserName";
SecureString sec = new SecureString();
foreach (char item in "MyPassword")
{
sec.AppendChar(item);
}
sec.MakeReadOnly();
startInfo.Password = sec;
startInfo.UseShellExecute = false;
Process.Start(startInfo);
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'm trying to do some multi-threading in my asp.net web site. But I'm having trouble getting my child thread to interact with my main thread. In the following very simple example I would expect that, 3 seconds after clicking the button, the "Hello World" text would be displayed on my page and on my label. Instead, after a few seconds, I get the following error in a pop-up box "WebDev.WebServer20.exe has stopped working - Windows is checking for a solution to the problem.". I am running Visual Web Developer 2010 Express. If you know why I'm getting this error and if you know how to fix the problem respond.

I'm trying to get threading to work in ASP.NET but for some reason it keeps crashing my local server, and simply does not work at all when uploaded online. Here's the code:

This may seem like a really simple question, but can I use the System.Threading namespace in ASP.NET web forms? I have a web page which uses HTTP GET/POST to gather page customisations (title, subtitle, etc.) from the user and numerical input which is passed to a ASMX web service. Currently they work sequentially, the customisation first followed by numerical processing. So can I use threading to do this?
View 3 RepliesIn my ASP.NET website, I am having a function which has to be automatically performed once every 2-3 mins on its own, i.e. without user intervention. This function contains database access.
Can I use threading to perform this process in background?
If Yes, How can I use that?
Edit
Also I am not looking for a solution which includes windows service because I am using shared hosting. So I dont have all the rights to access the host computer.
I'm a completly noob in Multi-Threading c# web pages... and i'm taking the first steps... I have one web page that create one new thread for each image to load. Each thread only read the external image and save it to local server. I have for example pages that have 25 images... that page loads but it launchs 25 thread (1 for each image).

I assumed that when a thread finish it's job it will automaticaly be killed, is it that way ?? I'm asking because, when i try this code on the server, after some navegation and multiple images loaded the IIS goes down and the page return "Service Unavailable" error :( To solved it i need to restart the IIS Application Pool... For those that have experience in multi-threading web pages how can i kill this threads ? Aren't they suposed to be killed when their job is finish ? ? Do you know a good tutorial or article for begginers ???
I have a Main page containing links to five other pages. each page has a button which does some job using Thread. Problem is when i open a window from main page and click the button, The Process starts but if now i want to open another page from main window it doesn't load untill that previous page loads fully(when thread ends). I am not using any session variable on my page.
View 2 RepliesDear ladies and sirs.
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?
View 1 RepliesMy 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 can't find much information on the System.Threading.ReaderWriterCount, as it seems to be the problem. What is the likely cause? Or failing that what's the best next step to work that out? Based on the pointer from the given answer I had a look at ReaderWriterLockSlim. I wasn't using it directly, but I saw that it had 88684 instances, digging deeper I saw quite a few classes with that number of instances, pointing to AutoMapper.MappingEngine. This should be a singleton, so I've had a look at where it's being created. I suspect that it's the DI container and have made some changes around that to see if it helps
I have a web app where a user will visit a page with a QueryString parameter passing the ID of the object I should retrieve.
What I then need to do is run a number of checks to ensure the user can access that data, and also find out if another user has a lock (recorded in the DB) on that object.
Currently these searches are all performed sequentially, however I'm thinking the best option might be to use delegates to be able to fire off the three or four searches required at once then use the results as they are returned.
My implementation for this would be using a delegate(s) and calling BeginInvoke, however I'm worried the overhead of threading this may lead to no speed increases.
My research has indicated it will use the ThreadPool, so there shouldn't be too much overhead, but I'd like to know if anyone has implemented this kind of solution to a similar scenario on a high traffic site and seen good resutls from it?
The reason I'm looking to do this is we are reengineering our application from the ground up, and need to make sure we are building something that will scale considerably.
