Hi, long time reader, first time poster
I have an application that will be doing this 5 times a second:
Get a bunch of data from a NetworkStream and convert it into a Bitmap
Therefore, the process looks like:
Read the NetworkStream to find out size of the data
Allocate that amount as a byte array
Read the NetworkStream into the byte array
Put the byte array into a MemoryStream
Put the MemoryStream into a Bitmap
This is a tedious process and I was wondering if there was a way to
shortcut this. I tried putting a NetworkStream directly into a Bitmap
with no avail. Something to do with the NetworkStream not being
seekable.
Now, if there is no easy way to shortcut this, what's faster:
allocating a fixed amount of memory (10MB) and increase the size of
needed? Or to allocate the byte array each time. Keep in mind this
happens 5 times per second so I don't know how fast C# is at memory
management, or how it does it.

5 times a second is not much - allocation take only a few microseconds on a
typical modern PC. That said, you'll get the best performance by making a
single large-enough allocation and re-using it time and again. You'll also
avoid fragmenting the GC heap and causing excess collection cycles by
holding onto a single large memory allocations.

I started writing this up as a guide for some people who were looking for
general tips on how to do things the 'right way' with Javascript. Their code
was littered with document.all and eval, for example, and I wanted to create
a practical list of best practices that they could easily put to use.
The above URL is version 1.0 (draft) that resulted. IMO, it is not a
replacement for the FAQ,...

Hi All,
Basically my situation is this, I have a server implemented in C++,
unmanaged code, using proprietery protocol over TCP/IP to communicate
with the cilent(c++ also).
Now, I am implementing the another client in C#. Server side can not
be
changed :(
So, I am using tcp/ip sockets. In the end I get byte on the client
side, which originally was some C++ class object, converted to byte
array.

Using C#, I want to send a byte array to an unmanaged function with the
minimum amount of copies. The array is input only and won't be modified
(its copied on the unmanaged side).
I'm currently using fixed byte *. My question is: Should I be using In
byte parameter instead? Ref parameter?
fixed( byte *b = byte_array ) {
MyUnmangedFunc2( b, byte_array.Length );
}

Hello,
I need to send to a webservice a parameter that is a string containing an

I've tried a lof of way, as encoding.utf8, encoding.unicode, bitconverter,
etc, but the only working solution I found is Convert.XXbase64String:

I have operation within a class that marshals the data into a byte
array. Below are three different ways that work. Are there any
downsides to using one over the the other?
public virtual byte ToRaw1()
{
byte byteArray = new byte;
IntPtr pointer = Marshal.AllocHGlobal(Size);
Marshal.StructureToPtr(this, pointer, false);
Marshal.Copy(pointer, byteArray, 0, Size);
