copying stream - advise needed
Posted by SharpCoderMP at 4/25/2006 12:24:41 PM
hi, Iv'e seen two ways of copying streams in .net: Stream outStream = MemoryStream(); Stream inStream = CreateSomeMemoryStream(); byte[] buffer = new byte[inStream.Length]; inStream.Read(buffer, 0, buffer.Length); outStream.Write(buffer, 0, buffer.Length); and the second one was more or...more >>

Slow remoting of byte[]
Posted by Martin Müller at 4/25/2006 6:33:01 AM
Hi community! Perhaps someone can explain this performance problem: I'm trying to spool files via remoting over a TCP channel with a binary serializer. To get the file's bytes from my server class to my client, I used methods like these: int OpenFile(string filename) // To open the file on...more >>

Q: System.Diagnostics.PerformanceCounter usage

I have a test app where I am using System.Diagnostics.PerformanceCounter. In the VS.NET 2003 DESIGNER I choose: CategoryName = 'Process' CounterName = '% Processor Time' I want to programmatically display a list to the user of "InstanceName" values. Is there anyway to get the "same" l...more >>

cast type check performance
Posted by Etienne at 4/18/2006 12:51:49 PM
Hi guys, Does anyone here has already done some test related to the performance of doing a safe cast? Which one of those two snippet do you think would be a better alternative (relative to performance) most of time? // # 1 public override bool Equals(object obj) { ...more >>

string.<insertStaticMethodHere> performance in multithreaded envir
Posted by dave.dolan at 4/18/2006 10:35:03 AM
The old saying goes something like, "Hey stupid, don't use static methods when you're going to call that function a lot from multiple threads, if you want to have any kind of good performance" at least I think that's how it goes. Anyway, I get the idea behind it, because it's locking the s...more >>

Delay inside a loop
Posted by Jens Weibler at 4/16/2006 12:29:56 PM
Hi, I've got a problem: sometimes a inner loop takes more than 0 milliseconds.. Example-Code (take a windows form, add one button and two textboxes): private void button1_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e) { int iLangeSchritte = 0; long lngTicksGesamt = 0; StringBuilder sb...more >>

Data Performance using DataReaders and DataSets

I need to process several million records stored a database and derive several million processed records to be saved. The processing is moderately complex where I need to compare the retrieved records in order to derive the results. Currently I am using Datasets (Master Detail structure) to ke...more >>



Local variables Vs Member Variables

I am writting a performance critical application and want to know about following: A method is called at every mouse move or says method calls frequently. The method is like this public void form_mouseup(object sender, EventArgs e) { int x = y * 12; //Here y is a member variable(int)...more >>

DataReader Performance: Is it a myth?
Posted by Fred Taylor at 4/11/2006 10:27:52 PM
I created a simple test scenario that compared the performance of a DataReader vs. a strongly typed DataTable. It seems that it is indeed quicker to traverse the result set when using the DataReader, but once you try to read the actual columns of the data, you lose all the benefits. When yo...more >>

Performance Monitor Not Logging .Net CLR Counters?!?
Posted by bu at 4/10/2006 2:23:07 PM
I have duplicated this on 4 different workstations running WinXP and the ..Net framework. Viewing any of the .NET CLR counters in PerfMon works fine when viewing then "live," but fails to capture any data when setting them up as scheduled captures under Counter Logs. All of the non-.Net coun...more >>

Disk access performance
Posted by huayra at 4/5/2006 7:46:02 AM
Hi All, I am working in an application, where multiple threads have parallel disk access to process each one file. The threads are independent, no critical section or syncronization between them exist nor is necesary. They do not process the same file. I expect that if I launch more tha...more >>

Hex and int32
Posted by Tim Payne at 4/3/2006 1:24:38 PM
Hi, I've just been looking at some code that someone's asked me to look at. They guys who wrote it has used Hex numbers for all his constant int32 variables. For example, instead of having: for {int x = 1;x <= 31;x++} they instead have: for {int x = 1;x <= 0x1f;x++} Is there any signi...more >>
