DateTime dt;
int n = dt.Days;
This will throw that error. It means that dt ( in this case ) is null.
Google will tell you all you need to know about arrays. At a guess, you've created an array of objects and are getting this error. Every object in that array is null and you need to call new on it before you can use it.

Actually I have a list view items which on runtime remains uninitialized..
And the code is in C++/CLI..
I am asking this here just for the reference..
How to handle it using the try catch blocks?
Is there any other way?

Hi,
at first use catch(Excemption exc) and watch it, then refine the catch.
Or read the documentation, it is begging for an audience.

I have a function which have return type DataRow and the parameters for the fucntion
are the parameters for the stored procedure.
I have to execute the Stored Procedure with given parameters and populate the datarow so that
the return will be the populated DataRow with the output of the stored procedure.
Again I have to retrieve data from the same datarow, perform some calculations in another function
which is going to use above datarow values, and give result in double or int datatype.
I have executed the Stored Procedure and now i m trying to store the data in the datarow
so that I can further retrieve it.
do anybody have idea how to insert and retreive data from DataRow in above case.
Thanks in advance,

Hi,
The below code throws the error "No overload for 'Test' matches delegate 'System.Threading.ParameterizedThreadStart'"
<br />
AlphaC.Framework.IDebugRoom unitTest = null;<br />
<br />
<br />
unitTest = new AlphaC.Framework.Debug.TestXNAFramework();<br />
<br />
this.testingDelegate = new System.Threading.ParameterizedThreadStart(unitTest.Test);<br />
Note: testingDelegate is a global System.Threading.ParameterizedThreadStart instance, and System.Threading.ParameterizedThreadStart's constructor accepts a 'void (object) target' parameter
But this code works fine:
<br />
AlphaC.Framework.IDebugRoom unitTest = null;<br />
<br />
unitTest = new AlphaC.Framework.Debug.TestXNAFramework();<br />
<br />
this.thread = new System.Threading.Thread(unitTest.Test);<br />
The method System.Threading.Thread() accepts a ParameterizedThreadStart delegate.
I would have thought that public void Test() would match up with void (object) target... I'm wrong obviously... :P
Can anyone point out what I did wrong when I initalized the 'testingDelegate' instance in the first code snippet?
Mark.

Yeah, obviously. How is a method that takes no parameters, the same as one that does take one ?
You can start a thread with a ThreadStart delegate ( which has no params ) or a ParameterizedThreadStart delegate ( which will take an object ) I'd say the other overload is kicking in in your second snippet.

Yup i've got it now mate,
It was just my ignorance of delegates that was the problem...

Hi Everyone,
I'm trying to write a graph interface where I have objects that can act manipulated like a graph.
Ok, so I have a graph interface (IGraph) that has a method to return a generic list of interfaces ( List<IVertex> ). However, the class the implements the IGraph interface a list of a concrete class Point ( List<Point> ) which implements IVertex. I can't return it unless if I create a new generic List<IVertex> and do a deep copy.
<br />
public interface IGraph<br />
{<br />
List<IVertex> GetVertices();<br />
}<br />
<br />
public interface IVertex<br />
{<br />
int X { get; set; }<br />
int Y { get; set; }<br />
}<br />
<br />
public class Point : IVertex<br />
{<br />
private int _x;<br />
private int _y;<br />
<br />
}<br />
<br />
public class ConcreteGraph : IGraph<br />
{<br />
private List<Point> _points;<br />
<br />
public ConcreteGraph()<br />
{}<br />
<br />
public List<IVertex> GetVertices()<br />
{<br />
return _points;
}<br />
}<br />
</ivertex></point>
Any one have any ideas? I could do like the following code:
<br />
List<ivertex> list = new List<IVertex>();<br />
foreach (Point p in _points)<br />
{<br />
list.Add((IVertex)p);<br />
}<br />
</ivertex>
But it doesn't seem too efficient. Is there a way of doing this that is more efficient?
Thanks!

Instead of:
public List<IVertex> GetVertices()
{
return _points; // Error: Cannot implicitly convert type List to List
}
You could just return List<Point> instead.
Whoever's calling GetVertices can either use Point or IVertex to access the elements depending on their needs.

Hello everyone,
I am confused about the statement from the book Threading in C# about thread priority,
http://www.albahari.com/threading/
the confusing statement is, "The ideal solution is to have the real-time work and user interface in separate processes". Why the solution works and ideal?
The whole paragraph is,
--------------------
If the real-time application has a user interface, it can be undesirable to elevate the process priority because screen updates will be given excessive CPU time – slowing the entire computer, particularly if the UI is complex. (Although at the time of writing, the Internet telephony program Skype gets away with doing just this, perhaps because its UI is fairly simple). Lowering the main thread’s priority – in conjunction with raising the process’s priority – ensures the real-time thread doesn’t get preempted by screen redraws, but doesn’t prevent the computer from slowing, because the operating system will still allocate excessive CPU to the process as a whole. The ideal solution is to have the real-time work and user interface in separate processes (with different priorities), communicating via Remoting or shared memory. Shared memory requires P/Invoking
the Win32 API (web-search CreateFileMapping and MapViewOfFile).
--------------------
thanks in advance,
George

It tells you right there in the paragraph...

Thanks Paul,
After some thinking, I think it just means that for RT task you want to set process and thread priority to maximum.
If you have a UI thread in the same application - you can lower the thread priority, but process priority will still be high, giving unneded CPU cycles to the UI thread
So best solution will be extract UI to another process that can have independent process and thread priorities so no additional CPU cycles will be wasted on UI tasks.
Understanding correct?
regards,
George

You run the risk of your application being not very responsive. With current multi-core machines, I suspect this really won't be an issue anymore, for the most part.

Thanks Paul,
With multi-core H/W, is there any method to assign some thread to run one some CPU (in other words, let the specific CPU serves the specific thread)?
regards,
George

You also asked about assigning a thread to a specific CPU, and that is where thread affinity comes into play...

Our beta testers have been reporting a bug that I can't figure out. The only stack trace that comes back is:
System.Threading.ThreadAbortException: Thread was being aborted.
at System.Windows.Forms.NativeWindow.DefWndProc(...)
at System.Windows.Forms.Timer.TimerNativeWindow.WndProc(...)
at System.Windows.Forms.NativeWindow.Callback(...)
What's strange about the stack trace is that it appears to only involve Windows.Forms code and none of our own code. We do have worker threads that occasionally get aborted, but no matter how hard I try to simulate the error by aborting threads or throwing exceptions in random places, I can't get a stack trace that looks anything like that.
Does anyone have an idea of what might cause a stack trace that looks like that?
|

If you abort a thread, the stack trace can contain pretty much anything. If it looks like what you posted, it simply means that the thread was aborted while running code in the main method of the thread.
When a thread is aborted the ThreadAbortException is thrown in the thread. To handle this as gracefully as possible, your thread should catch this exception in the main method, release any resources that the thread uses, and then just return.
The best is of course never to abort threads, but instead set a property or something like that, and let the thread finish itself off. Then it's much easier to write code that releases the right resources.
Despite everything, the person most likely to be fooling you next is yourself.

Thanks for the comment! One of the things that baffles me is that the stack trace appears in an "Unhandled exception has occured in your application" window. Simply aborting a thread has never caused such a message to appear.
|
|
|
|
|
Another thing that's confusing about it is that the stack trace looks like it's the GUI thread that's being aborted...but that's certainly not the case.
