Use Thread.sleep For No Reason And Explain It To Programmer?
Nov 10, 2010
While passing through code in our project I came across a web method that had this code at the end of it:
thread.sleep(6000);
return true;
Now, this was done so the jQuery ajax call from the client gets delayed and the ajax animation will show for a little bit longer. This is very wrong in my eyes. There shouldn't be this kind of connection between UI and server side. If he wants the animation to take longer he can use the setTimeOut function in the client side. Here is my problem: how can I explain to the programmer why this is so wrong? Not just because the client/server thing, but why ever call thread.sleep on a website?

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 introduce a slight wait during some testing functions, to simulate a server call. Is it sane to use Thread.Sleep(int) to introduce the wait or is there a better method to have the server wait?
Note, I'll be pausing long enough for me to visually see a sufficient lag, even tho I don't expect to see such a delay in the actual app. This is for me to visualize the actual delay that could occur.
I plan on running this both in the VS2010 local debugger webserver and in IIS 7. I'm on .NET 3.5

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 create a NetworkStream from a TCPClient, I then call BeginRead() followed by Thread.Sleep(60000).
It seems that the BeginRead call back function will only ever occur after Thread.Sleep() has completed. Is this expected behaviour?
What I was expecting was for the call back function to be carried out on a separate thread whenever it was ready and that the Thread.Sleep() on the current thread should have no affect on when/how the call back function runs...
I'm currently creating a VT100 terminal emulator, I wanted to created a method that would allow me to make the emulator sleep until a given string is found in the screen buffer. Initially I was trying to call WaitOne() on the IAsyncResult passed back from BeginRead() if the string was missing (this was to allow more data to pass into the system so that the check could then be carried out again until it was passed), after this failed I tried Thread.Sleep instead of WaitOne() but this blocked my BeginRead call back from firing and I'm now I'm starting to think everything is running from a single thread...

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.

Im having to update a class that was being used for security validation thru our active directory. i found where i need to add the new security groups allowed to use the application, but everyone within the new groups are not allowed access. I found this bit of code that seems to be trimming the groups name, so could be reason why the new groups dnt work, since they arent named the same as the others. what they were doing so i can update it.

I have been assigned the task to create a rules engine with another programmer for a company. They want it totally dynamic (parameterized sql type dynamic, no inline or any wishy washy coding practices). So I have ended up with no idea what to really aim at since this is the first time for this type of project. I am hoping someone has some ideas if they have experience this before. I am thinking of going in this direction.

In some javascript, I have:var url = "find.aspx?" + "location=" + encodeURIComponent( address );
alert( url );location.href = url;where the value of address is the string "Seattle, WA".
[code]...
So I'm getting three different representations whereas I would expect that in all three places I should see what I see in the alert. My expectation is that the url I assign to location.href should show up as-is in the browser url window, and should be passed as-is to the server in Request.Url (and I would need to decode the values on the server before using them).What's happening?

So, in my example below, "InputDate'" is an input type=text, "DateColumn" is a TD within a table with a class of "DateColumn".
Read the value of a discreet texbox:
var inputVal = $('#InputDate').val();
Read the value of a div within a table....
This works:
$('#theTable .DateColumn').each(function() {
var rowDate = Date.parse($(this)[0].innerHTML);
});
This doesn't:
$('#theTable .DateColumn').each(function() {
var rowDate = Date.parse($(this)[0].innerHTML());
});
The difference is the "()" after innerHTML. This behavior seems syntactically inconsistent between how you read a value from a textbox and how you read it from a div. I'm ok with sometimes, depending on the type of control, having to read .val vs .innerHTML vs.whateverElseDependingOnTheTypeOfControl...but this example leads me to believe I now must also memorize whether I need trailing brackets or not on each property/method.
So for a person like me who is relatively new to jQuery/Javascript....I seem to have figured out this particular anomaly, in this instance, but is there a convention I am missing out on, or does a person have to literally have to memorize whether each method does or does not need brackets?

I know that in a web site project VWD will cram all the files into 1 specified folder which holds all the peices of your site together in a nice little container.
However, in a web based application (rather than web site) you have a similar folder but it contains a solution file; people often say this has more advantages, but from my early days of learning what would those advantages be?

Is there any reason to separate front-end FE and back-end BE (for Administration and customer service) in different websites under the same solution.
Actually it causes me problems in Removing items from the cache, (they) decided to put FE and BE in different app domains, this means different Cache objects!!
I asked them about the reason and they said
1- To not be out of memory and to remove BE effect on the FE performance.
I doubt on this, Customer service team are probably affecting the centralized database performance, but there hits will be like adding 10 customers to our website, it is nothing!! Also App domain memory extends when needed, as far as I know, it does not pre allocate resources
2- To avoid losing both FE and BE if the website goes down.
I agree but this is not a reason to put the whole BLL in a web service, what about SECURING the BLL!!!, I PREFER TO LOSE BOTH if the IIS goes down.
