I have some code where I updatde a file (that might not exist yet).
In fact this file contains 2 integers and is used in only one function. I
thought overkill to configure, deploy and maintain a database to store 2
numbers, so I'm just trying to use a Mutex to be sure only one of my process
at a time would access the file.
my code looks like that:
public static uint GetUID(string filename, byte keyType, byte reseller)
{
using (Mutex mutex = new Mutex(false, "uidfile:" + filename))
{
mutex.WaitOne() ;
// blablablabla
}
}
And this worked well in a little desktop application I was using to test it.
Next I tryed to use this code on a WebServer (in a generic handler / .ashx)
And I get the error below on the mutex constructor.
How could it be?
what could I do?
(remember the file might not exist yet anyway!)

I found a work around, I replace all the '/', '\' and ':' by '_' and it

I have a named mutex object that is accessed by both an asp.net application

under the administrator logon, while the asp.net application runs under the
standard asp.net user account. The problem relates to permissions on
creation of the mutex. If the asp.net application creates the mutex, the
executable cannot access it (access denied error). Likewise, if the...

I was just thinking about this, specifically wondering if there's any
features that the C specification currently lacks, and which may be
included in some future standardization.
Of course, I speak only of features in the spirit of C; something like
object-orientation, though a nice feature, does not belong in C.
Something like being able to #define a #define would be very handy,
though, e.g:

Hi.
I want to use the same mutex in different classes (web pages in an ASP.NET
application). In global.asax.cs, the class that starts up first, I create a
Mutex like this:
static private Mutex mtxBezoeken = new Mutex(false, "bezoeken");
which compiles and executes just fine. Then in another page I want to write
to a file that may also be accessed by global.asax.cs so I want access to

I use a mutex to disallow starting a second application instance. This
did not work in a release build until I made it static member of my
MainForm class.
In a debug build, first instance got ownership, second did not and
terminated. In a release build, the second instance *also* got
ownership. I "fixed" it by making the mutex a static member of my
MainForm class.
Did the garbage collector eat my mutex because it is not referenced

Hi Guys,
I'm having a bizarre problem here with mutexes.
If I have the following code in a page (note that it never releases the
mutex!), then load the page twice, in 2 seperate browsers, I do not get
a mutex lock.
Any ideas? I'm trying to get a globally accessible mutex. Is using the
Application object wrong somehow?

Hello, i'm trying to program a thread that would be locked (by a
mutex) and that would only be unlocked once that a function
(generating data) is done. The purpose is to generate data, and unlock
the mutex in order to activate the thread once the data is generated.
I have to do it this way, i can only call the thread if the data are
generated.

Given an object of type Mutex, what method or property should be called to
determine if it is currently owned?
I could call WaitOne(0,false) -- and if the return value is false, I could
deduce that the Mutex is already owned... but this has the unwanted side
effect of seizing ownership of the Mutex in the case where the Mutex is NOT
already owned.
I'm looking for something like an "IsOwned" property.

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.
