Well if it takes 2 minutes to load. You need to implement caching techniques. Now one or very few will wait 2 minutes Why would you need to repsond twice. Tell me what your doing a maybe we can find a better solution. Nick 1 line of code equals many bugs. So don't write any!!

IDEA 1 - Object Serialization If you have a lot of parsing going on when you read your corpus of words, you may think about loading a structure that has a serialization feature. You can load the corpus, serialize the object, and deserialize it. This should give you some performance benefit since you won't have to parse anything. I did this for a financial analysis application. I would parse XML documents, store the information in the structures that I needed, then serialized them for use when the application restarted. It improved performance (memory usage and loading speed). IDEA 2 - OnBeginRequestAsync You could do the loading of your corpus in the OnBeginRequestAsync method. If needed, it would load in a separate worker thread and, when complete, could store the corpus in your static variable. While the corpus loads, any request that needed it could "wait" or inform the user that the summary feature is loading and will presently be available. "we must lose precision to make significant statements about complex systems." -deKorvin on uncertainty

Yes, thats true but this is what i'm doing now. When my ASP.NET application starts i load the corpus... The problem is when the first incomming HTTP request is processed that is when corpus is load. This is very slow for the first user to see my website. I want something like when the computer loads, at startup, the aspnet_wp.exe (Worker Process) then i load the corpus... You dont know if that can be done in machine.config in ASP.NET configs?? Thanks !! Bruno Conde. pharaoh

Your right... I corrected the problem in another way. Thanks ;) Bruno Conde

r = new Regex(@"[^"]+)"?\s+width="?(?[^"]+)|width="?(?[^"]+)"?\s+height="?(?[^"]+)).*>") This works fine for me :) Remember you can put an "@"-sign in front of your string declaration, so you don't need to escape certain characters. This comes in very handy with regular expressions. regards

Thank you very much for your reply... It was realy that. ;):-D pharaoh

Windows Forms has NEVER been thread safe! In fact, Win32 common controls have never been thread safe. Even the new UI coming in Windows Vista is not thread safe. In .NET 1.1, the application would run ok for awhile, but you'd run into subtle bugs eventually. In .NET 2.0, a error is issued if you try to use Windows Forms controls from another thread. If you want to use a Windows Forms control from another thread, use the Control.Invoke and Control.BeginInvoke methods: void CalledFromAnotherThread() { // Call textbox.Invalidate() method on the UI thread. myTextBox.Invoke((ThreadStart)myTextBox.Invalidate); } Tech, life, family, faith: Give me a visit.

Actually, that's not even possible. XML Web Services are invoked over HTTP, which is - by nature (and it's very protocol) - client request / server response driven. A server cannot contact a client; only a client can make requests on the server, in which case the server (should) respond. If you need a "net send" equivalent take a look at the .NET Remoting Overview[^]. You'll want to use a channel that is not HTTP-based, like the TcpChannel. The clients will still need to connect to the server (like a chat application), but they can stay connected and the .remoted object (on the remoting server) can send the connected clients data or even invoke requests on the client, instead of only the clients being able to invoke methods on the server. The .NET Framework 1.x provides the HttpChannel and TcpChannel, and 2.0 will add an IpcChannel. Channels - like formatters - are extensible. Here on CodeProject someone even posted a channel using MSMQ (Microsoft Message Queue) server. Nifty. This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights.

What are you using to profile the execution of your application? On other thing you might try is to override OnCursorChanged and set a breakpoint to see if anything else is setting it. Note that this event handler is not called if a native call changes it. You could set Form.KeyPreview on the container form and disable keys effectively, but to disable mouse events for all child controls you'll need override WndProc on the form and handle the WM_PARENTNOTIFY (0x0210) message, where the low order (second half) of the Message.LParam is set to WM_LBUTTONDOWN (0x0201) or WM_RBUTTONDOWN (0x0204), and conditionally handle the message (allow it to be processed by calling base.WndProc(ref Message)). Your code must be fully trusted to override WndProc. This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights.

That's why there are several different types of timers in .NET. If you can't use a System.Windows.Forms.Timer (because you don't have a GUI) then a System.Timers.Timer should work fine. The events differ a little, but the concept stays the same: Calculate how long until the desired shutdown time and wind up the timer... Regards, mav

Well, this depends on several conditions: Do you want your users to ALWAYS see pop-ups and information windows? Because that is not what a service should do. A service should run in the background unattended. IF you want your users to continously interact with your program, make it a windows-forms application. You can still "autostart" it via a registry entry. Do you simply need some feedback for debugging purposes and want non-critical errors to be described somewhere? Then use this.EventLog.WriteEntry. That will allow you to write some output to Windows' application event log. If you want an local user or administrator to be able to change the settings of your service, you could use an ini-File which holds configuration information, so someone could simply edit the file to change settings (or store those settings in the registry). If you need remote-configuration capabilities, have an asynchronous tcp socket waiting for connections on a certain port and use net.security or a simple user/password combination to restrict access. Then send commands and have your service react accordingly. You could even write a Windows-Forms App to communicate with your service. I chose the latter (ini-file and remote config) for my Windows Service. Cheers Sebastian
