Hi there.
How can we set a maximum time for a Thread variable.
For example :
I want to create a Thread variable that if it couldn't finish its work in 5 minutes , itself abort.
Do you understand me ?
Thanks in advance.

Well, one way to do it would be to have the code inside the Thread's callback handler periodically take a look at System.Enviroment.TickCount.
That would only work if the code is performing a loop though, so it could check the time at the start of each loop. Once the time is up, just return; the method.
What's the thread doing?

There is no built in way to time limit a thread, you have to do it yourself.
Store the start time in a variable when the thread method starts. Then periodically check the difference between the start time and the current time, and exit out of the method if the predefined time has elapsed.
Despite everything, the person most likely to be fooling you next is yourself.

Create two BackgroundWorker objects. One of them does the "work", and the other sits/spins until the time limit is reached, and then it cancels the other worker. Piece of cake...

Hello all,
I have a little problem regarding a double quote. I wrote this filter, to weed out all invalid characters in an Excel sheet. It works fine, however my invalid character list is defined in a string array. One of the invalid characters is "
string invalidChar = "' ` # ";
string[] invChar = invalidChar.Split(' ');
How do I get " into the string as well ?
kind regards,
|

See above for the solution proposed by leppie, which will work, however I prefer:
string invalidChar = @"' ` "" # ";
string[] invChar = invalidChar.Split(' ');
I find it more readable.

Both option works , I tested it 
Thank you both

If we are going for readable:
char[] invalidCharacters = { '"', ',', '$', '\'' };

I hadn't thought of that - much neater. For things like file paths it is useful to know about using @ as well.

Hi, I'm currently programming ASP.NET and C#. I'm new to ASP.NET and I was wondering, is there a way to right-click a control and select view source ? Is there a add-in that does that or an option.
I find it hard to follow the HTML code to find the button I could have just click a button to view the source.
If seems to be working one way only, if I select in the source, the control became selected, but if I select the control, the source get back to the top.
So is there anyway to view the source of a control ?

Correction, to make leppie happy, the Visual Designer.
You would be surprised at just how fast you can work in HTML without it once you are used to it.

Well I use the html code often, but something I don't want to scroll throught 20 pages of code just to find the button in the table in the div tag in the middle of the page. (just to change an OnClientClick event)

Hit F4 and use the properties window in conjunction with the Visual Designer for properties like that.

If you are using VS2008 there is an additional tab at the bottom, SPLIT. Its shows the design view and source, highlight in design highlights the source.

It does not work, if I highlight the source, it hightligth the controls, but it's only one way, if I highlight the control, it does not highlight the source.
|
|
|
|

Strange, it works for me - just a single click on the control highlights the source (you do have to scroll to the right place in the source, it does not automatically bring it into view though).

Hi,
Suppose I have this class
public class MyObject
{
public enum ChangeOptions
{
Orientation,
Size,
Position
}
}
How could I create a member variable that could store a set of ChangeOptions? Do I have to use List<ChangeOptions>? I'd like a easy and fast way to know from this variable whether a ChangeOptions is in this set or not. I thought about using const int things and use & operators, but I think enum is nicer.
Thanks,
Dirso

[Flags]
public enum ChangeOptions
{
Orientation = 1,
Size = 2,
Position = 4
}
A variable of type ChangeOptions can now accept multiple individual settings
ChangeOptions opts = ChangeOptions.Size | ChangeOptions.Position;
bool optsContainsSize = ((ChangeOptions.Size & opts) != 0);

I should probably delete my post so it doesn't look like plagiarism :p

I voted for both!! Thank you so much guys!!
Thanks,

Just one question, I know the best way for that is Power of 2 values, but what if I have about 40 flags for ChangeOptions? The number will be huge. Is that a problem? Is it limited by the int size?
Thanks,
Dirso
