I was already trying to use readonly..

Code: Select all

Dim fStream as new FileStream(LogFile, FileMode.Open,FileAccess.Read, FileShare.ReadWrite)
dim sRead as new StreamReader(fStream)
That really should have worked! But it doesn't. Though I went through the sdk again.. and it should so maybe my system has a handle to file still open from some previous debugging attempt where I did not close it properly. Should reboot and check, but I don't think that's the case. Anyway, last OT in this thread, thanks for the offer of help :) Program looks mighty nice :)

*Edited* you know I got to thank you because after this post I couldn't let this problem go and went back and treid again and whatya know.. it just works. Definetly something with an already open handle somewhere which I didn't close properly before :oops:

Vulcan, i have just had a thought - based on the PPD fetish we all seem to have - (i still have absolutely NO idea how to work it out)
would it be too dificult to have the TOTAL PPD as a figure below the bars, and/OR if you hover your mouse over the %bar, for it to display the PPD for that client (PPD disappears when yo move the mouse away)?

It's nice that people want this or that feature on a F@H monitor utility, but I think some may be losing sight of the author's stated purpose:
This small program has only one purpose: Display the actual progress of your folding@home clients in your network. Nothing more, nothing less.
Every added feature detracts from that goal.

For those who want more features, there are other utilities like Fahmon that do those things already, and are configurable enough to suit the majority of users. Let's try to preserve the character of this one.

Hmmm. Thats strange. But I'm not familiar with this language. Have you asked in other coder forums?

Hmm. For the PPD I'd have to do a lot of calculations/benchmarks with the frames... :|
I think would be able to code that, but, as jrweiss says 2 posts above - this would be to much for a "tiny application" is was intended to be.
But thanks for your suggestion anyway! If a feature is cool, easy to do and fits into the concept, I'll don't hesitate to implement it! ;)

d'accord! ;)

But you have to admit that coloring the bars (green for an nvidia client, red for ATI client, black for cpu) would be a really nice EyeCandy... *g*

ok, fair enough, but this one works for me, AND with all this strange stuff going on with the gpu client (nvidia) i was INCREDIBLY impressed when i suddenly get a complete WU after installing this litttle app.

didnt realise it was so complicated, np. but you do sound like a guy who likes a challange

how could anyone not :) - you could even do blue for intel and amd's colour - black and dark green if possible

Are you going to somehow detect the client type, or merely give us the choice of display colors by line?

Hu? Sorry, I think cant translate that correctly respectively don't understand what you wanted to say with "suddenly got a complete wu"?
Did other monitor clients display another percentage?

Yeah! :)

determine the client type should be no problem - but I think it would be better to let the user decide which color to use. ;)

He means that he was having issues with EUE's, and after installing your application he suddenly had one complete.

The two were totally unrelated, it just seemed to him that installing your application fixed the EUE issues that he was having.

pretty good there MrstrBlstr ;)
yes, i only started folding a JUST before client 1.18 came out, i got ONE complete WU (second one) out of 25 odd, then when i installed your app, the very first WU completed, the next one got EUE and then 1.19 came out, and that atm has a 50% success rate (1 complete, and 1 EUE) so not enough data to work on. AND i havent used any othe monitors (please take that a a compliment - your is perfect)
