You can use the System.Environment.OSVersion class to access detail s of the user’s system environment The below code demonstrates using the OSVersion object to access environmental info: OperatingSystem osObj = System.Environment.OSVersion; Console.WriteLine(“Platform is: {0}”, osObj.Platform); Console.WriteLine(“Service Pack is: {0}”, osObj.ServicePack); Console.WriteLine(“Version is: {0}”, osObj.Version); Console.WriteLine(“VersionString is: {0}”, osObj.VersionString); Console.WriteLine(“CLR Version is: {0}”, System.Environment.Version); Note that [...]

It is normally safe to allow let multiple threads read data at the same time, but when a thread is required to perform a write, all other threads will need to be blocked. The .NET framework originally provided ReaderWriterLock for this circumstance, but it has performance issues which often outweigh its usefulness. No address this, [...]

If you have a routine which splits data across processors using the Parallel class you may need to protect memory, files or other resources which are shared across the multiple processes. One solution to this is to use a mutex, which is similar to a Monitor object, but at the operating system level. Mutexes must [...]

The Parallel Class can be used to split up the tasks which work on the data. For example if you have iterative code that looks like the below code: //6 parts of the book string[] inputTextFiles = { “part1.txt”, “part2.txt”, “part3.txt”, “part4.txt”, “part5.txt”, “part6.txt” }; foreach (string file in inputTextFiles) { string contentStr = File.ReadAllText(file); CountCharacters(contentStr); [...]

The new Task Parallel Library introduced with .NET 4, allows you to easily split code execution onto multiple processors without using threads or locks. For a task which is easily split into independent sub-tasks, or data that can be partitioned and computed separately you can use the Parallel class in System.Threading to assign tasks to [...]

You can dynamically instantiate a class in C# using reflection, it’s possible to instantiate code from assemblies which are not referenced at build-time. For example, if you had class defined in DynamicInstantiateLb.dll: public class DynamicTestClass { public int Add(int x, int y) { return x + y; } public string CombineStrings(T x, T y) { [...]

We all know that functional code is the leg that any good program stands on when it comes right down to it however if your program lacks a good user interface your product may not have the appeal needed to keep your customers happy. This issue can be easily solved by simply using a graphics creation tool such as [...]
