Hi
I need the "% Processor Time" counter from teh "Processor" category from the Performance counters...so I do this
System.Diagnostics.PerformanceCounter cpu = new System.Diagnostics.PerformanceCounter();
cpu.CategoryName = "Processor";
cpu.CounterName = "% Processor Time";
cpu.InstanceName = "_Total";
long rawValue = cpu.RawValue;
float percentValue = cpu.NextValue();
As the comments say, the cpu.NextValue() returns zero and the RawValue gives something like the following :-
Raw Usage : 919324765625
Raw Usage : 919329687500
Raw Usage : 919334453125
This is a dual processor machine, running constantly at about 50% (according to perfmon).
Any ideas why I can't get the %age value or how to convert raw value to a percentage?
Cheers

Bizarre! - Call cpu.NextValue(); twice?
System.Diagnostics.PerformanceCounter cpu = new System.Diagnostics.PerformanceCounter();
cpu.CategoryName = "Processor";
cpu.CounterName = "% Processor Time";
cpu.InstanceName = "_Total";
cpu.NextValue();
float percentValue = cpu.NextValue();
Removing the first call to cpu.NextValue causes the second call to return zero.

what gets measured must be in between the first and second NextValue and must take sufficient
time so the counters actually get updated. Google "performance nextvalue" and everything
will be revealed. Google knows everything.

And the penny / dime / ringgit / zloty etc finally drops!
The values are specific to *my* instance of the performance counter. I thought they were all stored magically somewhere and we just hook into this central store of counters and pulled values at will. But they only actually 'count' when we have an instance of the PerformanceCounter....all makes perfect sense now.
Thanks!

I have an application that loads an image (having the role of a background image) and next to it, in a panel to the right, there are loaded some more images, small ones, representing various objects - those images are loaded each in it's own panel (smaller panels that the one containing them all).
The main picture (the background) is loaded in a PictureBox and it is divided in some regions (I store the pairs of points that define each region in a text file)
The objects should allow to be dragged and dropped over the regions they belong to (at first, when the objects were uploaded, they were each associated to at least one of the regions, the regions being previously defined).
HERE IS MY PROBLEM:
I can't mannage to make the drag and drop operation work the way that i want!!!
My code looks something like this:
private void Panel_MouseDown(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
{
isDragged = true;
clickX = e.X;
clickY = e.Y;
}
private void Panel_MouseUp(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
{
isDragged = false;
}
private void Panel_MouseMove(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
{
Panel p = (Panel)sender;
isDragged == true)
{
if(!pictureBox1.Controls.Contains(p))
{
this.pictureBox1.Controls.Add(p);
}
p.Left = e.X + p.Left - clickX;
p.Top = e.Y + p.Top - clickY;
}
}
This code allows the panel loaded with that object to move anywhere in the window! The issue is that the application is addressed to kindergarden children, so it should be safer to use: this is why I want to limit the movement of the "object-panel" within the PictureBox, so that it couldn't leave its margins!!!
How do I do that???
Do you have any idea how can I check if an "object-panel" is dragged in the right region? Do you know any posibility to determine if an object positioned at the coordinates (x, y) is included inside a certain region (defined through pairs of points as mentioned above)???
I could really use your help!!!

This might help. First thing I found on programmatically moving the mouse.

Using the link above, this is an example of how to trap the mouse in a PictureBox, which should be hard to change to only trap while dragging.
private bool trap = false;
private void pictureBox1_MouseMove(object sender,
System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs e) {
trap = true;
}
private void Form1_MouseMove(object sender,
System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs e) {
if (trap) {
if (e.X < pictureBox1.Left) {
mouse_event(MouseFlags.Move, 1, 0, 0, UIntPtr.Zero);
}
if (e.X > pictureBox1.Left + pictureBox1.Width) {
mouse_event(MouseFlags.Move, -1, 0, 0, UIntPtr.Zero);
}
if (e.Y < pictureBox1.Top) {
mouse_event(MouseFlags.Move, 0, 1, 0, UIntPtr.Zero);
}
if (e.Y > pictureBox1.Top + pictureBox1.Height) {
mouse_event(MouseFlags.Move, 0, -1, 0, UIntPtr.Zero);
}
}
}
const int MK_LBUTTON = 0x0001;
enum Messages {
WM_LBUTTONDOWN = 0x0201,
WM_LBUTTONUP = 0x0202
}
[Flags]
enum MouseFlags {
Move = 0x0001,
LeftDown = 0x0002,
LeftUp = 0x0004,
RightDown = 0x0008,
RightUp = 0x0010,
Absolute = 0x8000
}
[System.Runtime.InteropServices.DllImport("User32.dll")]
static extern int SendMessage(IntPtr hWnd, Messages uMsg,
int wParam, IntPtr lParam);
[System.Runtime.InteropServices.DllImport("User32.dll")]
static extern void mouse_event(MouseFlags dwFlags, int dx,
int dy, int dwData, UIntPtr
dwExtraInfo);
Hehe, don't forget about Alt+F4 if you run this.

I found this in a CP Article[^] that might be easier to use:

static extern int SetCursorPos(int x, int y);

I have a line in the menu bar that is:
this.MenuBarEdit = new System.Windows.Forms.MenuItem();
What I would like to do is something like this:
string mbitem = "MenuBarEdit";
this.mbitem = new System.Windows.Forms.MenuItem();
Is something like this possible where the value of a variable is used instead of MenuBarEdit?

I don't see what you are trying to achieve?

The second line is (EDIT: Actually both lines are) invalid because you cannot assign a MenuItem to a string.

I am trying to use the text value of a string so the menubar could be dynamically modified from a xml file when the program loads.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Menu>
<MenuBar item="File">
<MenuItem item="Open" acion="call" />
<MenuItem item="New" action="sub">
<SubMenuItem item="File" acton="call" />
<SubMenuItem item="Folder" action="call" />
</MenuItem>
</MenuBar>
<MenuBar item="Edit">
<MenuItem item="Cut" action="call" />
<MenuItem item="Copy" action="call" />
<MenuItem item="Paste" action="call" />
</MenuBar>
</Menu>
When the parser reads the xml file and comes to <MenuBar item="File"> and <MenuBar item="Edit"> it can place those menu items in the menubar.

Okay - but all you need to do for that is add the item to the Controls collection of the control that will be the parent (e.g. A form, or a MenuStrip). You don't have to store it anywhere else (unless you want to)

I use this code to read some records from a access database with contacts exported from Outlook.
I get an error when the content of a field in the db is NULL bc it cannot be converted to string.
How could I correct this and the convert a Null field in a " " string?
Thanks
static void Main()
{
Program instan = new Program();
instan.ReadContacts();
Console.Read();
}
public void ReadContacts()
{
try
{
OleDbDataReader reader = null;
OleDbConnection conn = new OleDbConnection("Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source=c:\\AGH\\epafes_outlook_2007.accdb;Persist Security Info=False");
string comStr = "SELECT FirstName, LastName, BusinessPhone FROM Contacts";
OleDbCommand cmd = new OleDbCommand(comStr, conn);
conn.Open();
reader = cmd.ExecuteReader();
int i=1;
while (reader.Read())
{
string FName = (string)reader["FirstName"];
string LName = (string)reader["LastName"];
string BPhone = (string)reader["BusinessPhone"];
Console.Write("{0,-4}", i);
Console.Write("{0,-13}", FName);
Console.Write("{0,-13}", LName);
Console.Write("{0}", BPhone);
Console.WriteLine();
i++;
}
Console.WriteLine("\nFinish");
conn.Close();
reader.Close();
}
catch (Exception e)
{
Console.Write(e);

If a column is nullable in the DB, you should check for nullity in your code. Unfortunately, it is not the same as .NET null. You have to do it this way:
<code>
if (reader.IsDBNull(reader.GetOrdinal("FirstName"))
{
FName = null;
}
else
{
FName = (string)reader["LastName"];
}<code>
