The timestamps that you can obtain from Windows NT are limited to a maximum resolution of 10 or 15 milliseconds, depending on the underlying hardware. At times, such as when you need to timetag frequent events, it is desirable to achieve a higher resolution. For example, what if you want to be able to contact a thread or perform some other task at intervals more frequent than 10 milliseconds? Suggested ways of achieving better resolution include using performance counters in conjunction with the sytem time to calculate smaller time increments. But using performance counters is a technique that presents its own problems. This article shows one possible way of overcoming limitations inherent in this approach.Johan NilssonMSDN Magazine March 2004

The Microsoft .NET Framework is not just about Windows Forms and Web services. This article discusses the simplest kind of Framework-based application-the console app-along with the frequently overlooked constructs of standard input/output and the pipe. When designed carefully, console applications offer a surprisingly powerful way of solving complex programming problems. One of the more exciting aspects of this approach is that while each application in the pipe is fairly simple, the result of their interaction can be a relatively complex task. Here the author explores the ins and outs of writing these console apps.Michael BrookMSDN Magazine February 2004

The Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) is a National Institute of Standards and Technology specification for the encryption of electronic data. It is expected to become the accepted means of encrypting digital information, including financial, telecommunications, and government data. This article presents an overview of AES and explains the algorithms it uses. Included is a complete C# implementation and examples of encrypting .NET data. After reading this article you will be able to encrypt data using AES, test AES-based software, and use AES encryption in your systems.James McCaffreyMSDN Magazine November 2003

Hello,

I recently purchased a high performance, Windows 7, 64 bit based PC for improving the performance of my intensive .net application

trouble is my old laptop running XP with 1/2 gig of memory is outperforming it in both video refresh rates and number crunching

The disk performance on my new machine is far better though

The video refresh issue I think I have solved and it relates to the new nVidia card drivers not rendering the lines on a DataGridView during scrolling very well.

I have added the option to hide/unhide the lines in the cells and the performance picks up a lot

Now, when I load and process the large amount of data, the laptop dedicates a significant amount of CPU time to the number crunching, whereas my "Tower of Power" is mostly idle.

I have no doubt if I rewrote the app to crunch all this data on multiple threads I would get the performance boost

Is there anyway to avoid that?  can I get my machine to dedicate more of its idle CPU time to getting this job done quicker?

TIA
