I've been asked to display some meter data on the web and I need preliminary
advice.
We have several hundred meters on site, with a system that writes out xml
files at 10 second intervals containing their data. (These files are
overwritten every 10 seconds, not appended to.)
First, I need to display two numeric pieces of this data just as numbers in
a web page. Naturally that's easy enough: where I'm stumped is REFRESHING
that data when it's updated every 10 seconds. Of course I don't want to
refresh the whole page, but only update a particular number when its
associated xml file is updated.
I've seen this done client side with javascript, but it was pretty cludgey.
Can ASP.NET help me here with a kind of persistant connection to these xml
files? (I thought the DataSet did such business out of the box, but it
doesn't as far as I can tell.)
Second, I need to use this data later for graphic trend displays. In other
words, I need to show in graph or chart form how each of these meters is
performing over time. Since the xml files are overwritten, I obviously have
to persist each piece of data somehow. I can think of any number of ways to
do this, but none of them seem too elegant. Any advice anyone might have
will help me think this through. 1 1242
well you can only refresh the whole page... but what you could do is put a
server side cache on parts that are not subject to frequent change.
for the part that displays your meter reading make sure its not cached.
unfortunately asp.net does not have a way to maintain a connection. if you
want sort of over the wire without refresh.. then you will have to go in for
a winforms control... or something like an applet.
for graphs you will need historical data. instead of writing reading to xml
file and over writing them each time.. why dont you insert them in the
database with a current timestamp. that way you can have your graph data as
well (you will need historical data for graph)

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
