Re: How can I compile code in runtime faster than CSharpCodeProvider()).CreateCompiler().CompileAssemblyFromDom? - C# Discussion Boards

You show no attempt to solve the problem yourself, you have no question, your main effort is pasting the requirement, you just want us to do your HomeWork.
We do not do your HomeWork.
HomeWork is not set to test your skills at begging other people to do your work, it is set to make you think and to help your teacher to check your understanding of the courses you have taken and also the problems you have at applying them.
Any failure of you will help your teacher spot your weaknesses and set remedial actions.
Any failure of you will help you to learn what works and what don't, it is called 'trial and error' learning.
So, give it a try, reread your lessons and start working. If you are stuck on a specific problem, show your code and explain this exact problem, we might help.

I have been having trouble finding a good compiler for my iPad.

You won't find a compiler for C# on iPad - Apple are rather restrictive, and use ObjectiveC for apps.

You can use C# to write for Apple devices, but you will need Xamarin to do it - it's included in the last couple of versions of Visual Studio.

I need to parse numerical expressions, e.g. (UInt32)(512 * 1024) that we can assume comes from a WinForm TextBox during runtime. I tried using the following:

C#

DataTable loDataTable = new DataTable();
DataColumn loDataColumn = new DataColumn("Eval", typeof(double), expression);
loDataTable.Columns.Add(loDataColumn);
loDataTable.Rows.Add(0);
return (UInt32)(double)(loDataTable.Rows[0]["Eval"]);

but this doesn't work because of the cast. So instead I tried the following, which is based on possible to execute code contained in a string ? - C# / C Sharp[^] :

C#

public static bool parseDifficultExpression(string difficultExpression, out UInt32 parsedValue)
{
    try
    {
        string[] usingList = new string[] { "System",
                                            "System.Text",
                                            "System.Diagnostics" };
        string methodAsString = "    returnValue = " + difficultExpression + ";";
        string notUsed = "";
        parsedValue = (UInt32)Utilities.executeMethodAsString(usingList, methodAsString, notUsed, typeof(UInt32));
        return true;
    }
    catch (Exception)
    {
        parsedValue = 0xFFFFFFFF;
        return false;
    }
}

public static object executeMethodAsString(string[] usingList, string methodAsString, object args, Type returnType)
{
    string[] importList = new string[] { "System.dll" };
    string namespaceName = "myNameSpace";
    string className = "myClass";
    string methodName = "myMethod";

    //Create method
    CodeMemberMethod pMethod = new CodeMemberMethod();
    pMethod.Name = methodName;
    pMethod.Attributes = MemberAttributes.Public;
    pMethod.Parameters.Add(new CodeParameterDeclarationExpression(args.GetType(), "args"));
    pMethod.ReturnType = new CodeTypeReference(typeof(UInt32));
    string completeMethod =
        returnType + " returnValue = new " + returnType + "();" + "\r\n" +
        "try {"                                                 + "\r\n" +
            methodAsString                                      + "\r\n" +
        "} catch {"                                             + "\r\n" +
        "    returnValue = new " + returnType + "();"           + "\r\n" +
        "}"                                                     + "\r\n" +
        "return returnValue;";
    pMethod.Statements.Add(new CodeSnippetExpression(completeMethod));

//    Here you can look at what the assembled method looks like
//    Console.WriteLine(completeMethod);

    CodeTypeDeclaration pClass = new CodeTypeDeclaration(className);
    pClass.Attributes = MemberAttributes.Public;
    pClass.Members.Add(pMethod);
    CodeNamespace pNamespace = new CodeNamespace(namespaceName);
    pNamespace.Types.Add(pClass);
    for (int i = 0; i < usingList.Length; i++)
    {
        pNamespace.Imports.Add(new CodeNamespaceImport(usingList[i]));
    }

    CodeCompileUnit pUnit = new CodeCompileUnit();
    pUnit.Namespaces.Add(pNamespace);
    CompilerParameters pParams = new CompilerParameters(importList);
    pParams.GenerateInMemory = true;
    CompilerResults pResults = (new CSharpCodeProvider()).CreateCompiler().CompileAssemblyFromDom(pParams, pUnit);

    if ((pResults.Errors != null) && (0 < pResults.Errors.Count))
    {
        foreach (CompilerError pError in pResults.Errors)
        {
            Debug.WriteLine(pError.ToString());
        }
        return null;
    }
    else
    {
        object typeInstance = pResults.CompiledAssembly.CreateInstance(namespaceName + "." + className);
        MethodInfo methodInfo = typeInstance.GetType().GetMethod(methodName);
        return methodInfo.Invoke(typeInstance, new object[] { args });
    }
}

This works fine, except that the line

C#

CompilerResults pResults = (new CSharpCodeProvider()).CreateCompiler().CompileAssemblyFromDom(pParams, pUnit);

is extremely slow (about 80 ms) to execute. Does anybody know a workaround to achieve what I want in fast execution time?

Have you considered using an expression evaluator? A Tiny Expression Evaluator[^] for example.
Might be quicker than loading a whole compiler each time you want an expression ...

"I have no idea what I did, but I'm taking full credit for it." - ThisOldTony
AntiTwitter: @DalekDave is now a follower!

It doesn't seem to be able to handle casts either, whenever I cast something in the "command prompt" (started by double-clicking TinyExe.exe) it gives me "Unexpected token '' found. Expected EOF".

I tried to speed it up by doing all (several hundred) my conversions in the same method, so that instead of compiling several hundred times I compile just once but the method will be a lot larger. Well, this works fine until there's an illegally formatted string which creates a compile error... It is really so impossible to interpret casts in a fast way?

I also tried the following, which is based on .net assembly - C# CompilerResults GenerateInMemory? - Stack Overflow[^], but it appears to compile even slower (I measured 208 ms):

            "       }" +
            "    }" +
            "}").TryLoadCompiledType("Test.DynamicCompile");
        instance.logHelloThere();
        long elapsedMs = watch.ElapsedMilliseconds;
        Debug.WriteLine("Elapsed: " + elapsedMs);
    }


    public static CompilerResults CompileSource(string sourceCode)
    {
        var csc = new CSharpCodeProvider(
            new Dictionary<string, string>() { { "CompilerVersion", "v4.0" } });

        var referencedAssemblies =
                AppDomain.CurrentDomain.GetAssemblies()
                .Where(a => !a.FullName.StartsWith("mscorlib", StringComparison.InvariantCultureIgnoreCase))
                .Where(a => !a.IsDynamic) //necessary because a dynamic assembly will throw and exception when calling a.Location
                .Select(a => a.Location)
                .ToArray();

        var parameters = new CompilerParameters(referencedAssemblies);

        return csc.CompileAssemblyFromSource(parameters, sourceCode);
    }


    public static object TryLoadCompiledType(this CompilerResults compilerResults, string typeName, params object[] constructorArgs)
    {
        if (compilerResults.Errors.HasErrors)
        {
            Debug.WriteLine("Can not TryLoadCompiledType because CompilerResults.HasErrors");
            return null;
        }

        var type = compilerResults.CompiledAssembly.GetType(typeName);

        if (null == type)
        {
            Debug.WriteLine("Compiled Assembly does not contain a type [" + typeName + "]");
            return null;
        }
        return Activator.CreateInstance(type, constructorArgs);
    }
}

You're creating a rather poor interpreter; it's not going to run like a compiler. I think you need a "calculator" class.

It was only in wine that he laid down no limit for himself, but he did not allow himself to be confused by it.
― Confucian Analects: Rules of Confucius about his food

There are several different ways to evaluate arithmetic expressions (just google), but all the ones I've tried have not been able to handle a simple cast, e.g.:

C#

1 + (int)1

None of the calculators I have had over the last 40 years have handled casts. Have you tried simply strip off the casts? Maybe a calculator library would work then.

Yes, the casts can be stripped off unless they are there for a reason.

And i have to do similar function for the Amazon store like the API details here:
https://developer.amazon.com/docs/cross-platform-plugins/cpp-use-the-iap-plugin-for-xamarin.html
However i dont even know where to start to convert those functions, Amazon API confuse me, can someone help me?

We are more than willing to help those that are stuck: but that doesn't mean that we are here to do it all for you! We can't do all the work, you are either getting paid for this, or it's part of your grades and it wouldn't be at all fair for us to do it all for you.

So we need you to do the work, and we will help you when you get stuck. That doesn't mean we will give you a step by step solution you can hand in!
Start by explaining where you are at the moment, and what the next step in the process is. Then tell us what you have tried to get that next step working, and what happened when you did.

Well i cant understand the API, at all and that is why i dont have code to demonstrate. Can you give me an example of a successful purchase and a check if a purchase exist already?
What is this function: GetPurchaseUpdates? Update to what?
What is the Response of the Purchase function? How i can know of a purchase was successful? Where i can find a list will all possible responses?

If you are trying to handle anything to do with real money - and you are - then you shouldn't be getting code (or anything else) from a "random website"!

Never, ever, accept code from a insecure website to handle anything to do with real money.
You do not know who is giving you the code, you do not know what it does, you do not know that it places the monies correctly into the appropriate account, without passing the details to any third parties.

Only get such code from Amazon themselves - the scope for fraud otherwise is far too large. And remember, you personally could be liable for any monies lost if your action is seen to be negligent - which getting your code from a public forum would most certainly be!

So start looking for API tutorials which explain how to do it, and then check that against the official API documentation. You need to understand this stuff if you are going to use it - or you could well end up coding from a cell ... Laugh | :laugh:

This is a followup to a thread started in the Lounge: The Lounge[^]

First this makes me think of The First Law Of Optimization: Don't do it!
And then The Second Law of Optimzation: If you have to do it, don't do it yet!

This obvuiouly refers to peephole optimzation. Selecting an algorithm of lower complexity is a different matter. But worrying about how the switch construct is handled by the compiler falls in the peephole class.

When I programmed Pascal around 1980, the compiler knew a single way of coding CASE x OF statements: As a jump table with at most 256 entries. Or more exactly: Alternatives was limited to internal values 0..255. Fair enough for small student exercises, but for real code, it was just tooo limiting.

Then I got into CHILL with its decision table entries ("CASE A, B, C OF ...", with all combinations of A, B, C values, with "don't care" and ELSE and the whole works - but still static). Later comes C# with much greater flexibility. Bottom line: Tiny jump tables is a very special case. You may hope for the compiler to optimize for that particular one, but I wouldn't spend too much energy on it. In the world of modern code, it is just too special.

Then there is another thing, now that you refer to state machines: I don't believe that switch statements is a good way to implemnent state machines. Maintenance is resource demanding when you expand it with new states and events. Giving proper handling to illegal events is difficult. And any reasonably complete state machine, e.g. for a communication protocol, will have a rather sparse state table.

If you implement a sparse 2D transition table by a jump table for one dimension, each leading to a jump table in the other dimension, you implemenent that full, sparse table in a rather un-maintainable way. I would rather pack the table, and address it as a single table. So you would maintain the table in an unpacked form, and use a small compaction routine to build the runtime table when you change it.

I let the compaction routine generate the table access function as well, so that a simple table not requiring e.g. predicate handling for alternate actions will not have this access code generated.

I guess my code is not super-optimized to those tiny demo-examples to teach students the basic idea of an FSM. But if you really need the functionality of a full blown solution, then I can handle it with sufficient speed that the table lookup is certainly not a bottleneck.

State tables are tables, not "cases". Treat them as such!

F-ES Sitecore wrote in the Lounge:
CBA doing any research, but I don't think .net actually supports the switch statement, it is just syntactic sugar, your switch statement is converted to an "if\else" block by the compiler.

Is there any decent compiler around that treats all different variations on switch (/CASE) in exactly the same manner?

Even 40 years ago, when I learned CHILL - from the guy developing the CHILL compiler - did we learn about how the compiler considered various code generating alternatives, from simple jump tables up to if/else sequences as a last resort. The choice was significantly affected by the compiler options selected, whether to optimize for small code space, small data space, fastest execution etc.

This was done 40 years ago. I am sure that compiler developers have not abandoned such options.

Using my own two eyes, and my personal experience, I have never seen it as anything but an if\else statement. I appreciate there probably are variances, maybe ones I didn't realise were originally switch statements, but from what I've seen the .net compiler seems to heavily favour the if\else.

This convo is a lot like people arguing that god exists....they swear it does, but all I'm asking is for actual simple proof Big Grin | :-D

Please help me out am new to see c#
How can I resolve this problem – I use OleDbDataReader to Read the Price from Database to the TextBox “Unit Price” with the currency format but the issues is the Subtotal column calculation Stop working.
See below image 1 for details. As you can see when I read the Price to the Unit Price TextBox as currency format the Subtotal stop working and the total Qty. see the code where I use the currency format.

while (reader.Read())
{ 
txtPrice.Text = Convert.ToDouble(reader["Price"]).ToString("C",info);
}
<pre>

But if I remove the currency format and use custom format for the textbox "Unit Price" everything work fine but I really want the currency format on the unit Price txtBox. 
See when the format is removed and the custom format is used see code below and  image 2. 

<pre>
while (reader.Read())
{ 
txtPrice.Text = Convert.ToDouble(reader["Price"]).ToString("#,00.00");

Of course it stops working - it fails the Parse operation because you have stuck a currency symbol in front of the number, and it doesn't know what to do with it.

Instead of working with strings all the time put the actual numeric value in the cell, and set the column style to currency - the system will do all the work for you, and there is no conversion needed once the Value is set:

C#

myDataGridView.Columns[columnIWantAsCurrency].DefaultCellStyle.Format = "c";

I am attempting to learn programming in c# to begin with and have run into an issue I can't figure out yet. Am hoping fro some help, direction, etc. The code below works just fine when I don't use any multi threading but one I try to multi thread I am getting the following error: "Argument 1: cannot convert from 'void' to 'System.Threading.ThreadStart'" This error is shown on the line "var bkpthread = new Thread(CopyDirectory(source.ToString(), target.ToString()))"
