Did you ever resolve this? What modem type are you using?

Using an automated device to dial phone numbers may not be legal in your jurisdiction. http://www.tti.net/support/telemarketing-laws.html[^] Do some research on "war dialing". Calling a bunch of people only to hang up may be considered harassment.

Well, I tried it but it didn't work. Here is a part of my code, can you tell me, please, what I did wrong? MySqlConnection connection = new MySqlConnection(MyConString); MySqlCommand command = connection.CreateCommand(); try { connection.Open(); Console.WriteLine("Connected to DB"); } catch (Exception e) { Console.WriteLine("Failed to connect to DB"); return; } command.CommandText = "truncate table test\_tb"; command.ExecuteNonQuery(); connection.Close(); StreamReader sr = new StreamReader("somefile.txt", Encoding.GetEncoding(1251)); string line, query; string\[\] data; byte\[\] temp = new byte\[10000\]; int j = 0; while ((line = sr.ReadLine()) != null && j < 10) { data = line.Split('~'); query = "insert into test\_tb (name, id) values(N'" + data\[2\] + "'," + j.ToString() + ")"; /\*Some parsing was done here, data\[2\] contains 1251 encoded string\*/ temp = ASCIIEncoding.GetEncoding(1251).GetBytes(query); command.CommandText = ASCIIEncoding.GetEncoding(1251).GetString(temp); connection.Open(); command.ExecuteNonQuery(); connection.Close(); ++j; } The column in table os varchar(1000) type, with windows-1251 encoding thanks a lot.

Still no ideas :)?

100%. I've played it with FLV video player.

An flv file is typically played back by a swf ( a flash movie ). Buy or find an flv player, and embed it in your app. Christian Graus Driven to the arms of OSX by Vista.

Well, I don't know. When I did this, none of the pages I targeted used javascripts for server interaction so it was easy to simulate clicking with HttpWebRequest/Response classes. In your case, I guess you'll have to emulate the javascript flow, as browsers do, to get the idea what the actual request should be. Unless someone else has something to say. H.

Heh thanks. I thought for sure there was a single non-blocking function, but I only seem to be able to find it when I WANT the blocking function and I forget what it is :-D If anyone knows, please refresh my memory :) Cheers, Mark Mark Salsbery Microsoft MVP - Visual C++ :java:

Thanks! That's exectly what I needed!

fread returns the number of full items actually read, which may be less than count if an error occurs or if the end of the file is encountered before reaching count. Use the feof or ferror function to distinguish a read error from an end-of-file condition. If size or count is 0, fread returns 0 and the buffer contents are unchanged.

If you're using the fopen/fseek/etc. family of I/O functions, then data is being read in 4K (by defult) chunks. Evgeni57 wrote: If I read any time 8192 bytes - size of disk's cluster, that I'm working with, then some records will be missed and seeking/rewinding or using my own buffering is essential. Assuming doing your own buffering (which currently is an inefficient solution) you would parse records from your buffer until there's not a complete record left. Then you shift the remaining contents of the buffer to the beginning of the buffer and read more bytes from disk. There's no rewinding or seeking backward required, and to do so would be inefficient - you'd be reading the same data multiple times. Given what you've described as your file spec, this is completely unnecessary. If you intend to do your own buffering, then you should use UNBUFFERED I/O, not fopen/fread/fseek/etc. You've got a good file format for sequential reading, which is always the fastest. Why are you trying to complicate that? Do some benchmarks - I would bet simply looping using fread to read a record length followed by an fread to read the record data will be more efficient than anything you come up with involving random access (seeking backward). You can then tune the default buffer size (see setvbuf()) to something more appropriate for your typical record size. For example, reading 20 byte records with the default 4K buffer is pretty efficient. Reading 8K size records would do better with a larger buffer, maybe 32K.

There are no unsigned integers in SQL Server, except for tinyint. So for bigger values define a INT or BIGINT data type ( as per your database demand ) and add a check contraint to accept only positive values. Like the below example. create table x_table(i int, j_Pos_value int constraint chk_j _cons Check (j_Pos_value>=0)) :-O "We can't solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them"

Given the above, we change to code to get the program to run. N.B. make sure you compile the code as a multi-threaded app. const long MAXTHREADS = 100L; const long MAXACTIVETHREADS = 20L; int nThread = 0; int nReleased = 0; long lActiveThreads = 0L; long lPreviousCount = 0L; HANDLE hSemaphore = 0; HANDLE hThread = 0; const char *pSemaphoreName = "CreateThreadSemaphore"; bool Initialize() { bool bResult = false; hSemaphore = ::CreateSemaphore(NULL, 0, MAXACTIVETHREADS, pSemaphoreName); bResult = (0 != hSemaphore); if (!bResult) { // TODO: report error from GetLastError() } return bResult; } DWORD WINAPI Start( LPVOID lpParam ) { // block til semaphore signals ::WaitForSingleObject(hSemaphore, INFINITE); printf("End thread %d\n", GetCurrentThreadId()); --lActiveThreads; ++nReleased; ::ReleaseSemaphore(hSemaphore, 1, &lPreviousCount); return TRUE; } void StartSimulation() { while (nThread < MAXTHREADS) { if (lActiveThreads < MAXACTIVETHREADS) { DWORD dwThreadID = 0; hThread = ::CreateThread(NULL, 0, Start, NULL, 0, &dwThreadID); if (!hThread) { // TODO: report error from GetLastError() } else { printf("Start thread %d\n", dwThreadID); ::CloseHandle(hThread); // throw away thread handle ++lActiveThreads; ++nThread; } } else { ::ReleaseSemaphore(hSemaphore, 1, &lPreviousCount); } } // wait for all threads to end while (lActiveThreads) { ::ReleaseSemaphore(hSemaphore, 1, &lPreviousCount); } // destroy hSemaphore ::CloseHandle(hSemaphore); printf("Created %d threads.\n" "Release %d threads.\n" "PreviousCount %ld\n", nThread, nReleased, lPreviousCount); } int main() { if (Initialize()) StartSimulation(); return 0; } I changed variable names and removed unnecessary code but didn't implement all the changes I indicated. The output should give you some idea of how running threads behave.
