filestream/binarywriter issue
Hello,
I convert a binary file format to another one. The files here are huge ~90 Mb
so I am reading, converting and writting by small peaces (~60000 value at a time).
When running my application (SDI application (one form), no graphics just buttons and text) after reading, converting and writting several peaces, the window becomes white (all button and text disappear) and come back once the reading conversion and writting task is done... I have a progress bar included in the loop too that disappears.
I tried a this->invalidate() in my loop but the form still dissapear after few rounds like if there was a memory leaking issue in the code.
This problem occur only with my writting procedure not with the reading one:
Because I am new to the .NET framework. I am wondering if I used the filestream and binarywriter correctly?.. any idea? I tried flushing within the loops but it did not help.
lDataLenght may reach size of 20,000 values with m_EGData.Nb=3
.....
FileStream* fileEG = new FileStream(strFileName,FileMode::Append);
BinaryWriter* binEG=new BinaryWriter(fileEG);
for (int i=0; i< lDataLenght; i++)
{
for(int j = 0; j < m_EGData.Nb; j++)
{
buffer=(short) (m_EGData[i+4*j]);
binEG->Write(buffer);
}
}
binEG->Close();
fileEG->Close();
....
Thanks,
JP

Re: filestream/binarywriter issue
You could try placing this in the loop to yeild to other parts of your application.
Code:
Application::DoEvents();
Or run it on a seperate thread.
Code:
ThreadStart* thrdStart = new ThreadStart( this, ConvertFileFunction );
Thread* thrd = new Thread( thrdStart );
thrd->IsBackground = true;
thrd->Priority = ThreadPriority::Normal;
thrd->Start( );
void ConvertFileFunction( void ) {
while( /* Something */ ) {
// PROCESS FILE CHUNK
Thread::Sleep( 10 );
}
}

Hello Jinto,
The Application: oEvents option works very well. Thanks for your helpful response.

Re: filestream/binarywriter issue
I've another problem on filestream/binarywriter.
FileStream ^ fHdl =
gcnew FileStream("test.txt", FileMode::Create);
BinaryWriter ^ bw =
gcnew BinaryWriter(fHdl);
bw->Write(L"testing");
bw->Close();
fHdl->Close();
output in the file is
.testing
. is 0x07 in hex
how to get rid of the dot?

Re: filestream/binarywriter issue
The BinaryWriter writes objects to the file in a representation that allows to later reconstruct them as they were using a BinaryReader. The 0x07 is the length prefix that announces the count of characters following (see http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/libr...v=vs.100).aspx). Try using a StreamWriter instead.
