The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

The System.Threading.Timer class will allow you to create a timer.

There's an example of how to create and use it here:
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.threading.timer.aspx

In the delegate, you can use Thread.Sleep(). There's an example here:

better yet, how can I modify this code to sleep for 10 minutes if no connection is made?


as you can see, I tried to do it with if(!response) Thread.Sleep..

But the compiler is returning an error that you cannot use the "!" operator with that data type

If you Sleep() for 10 minutes your app will be listed as "Not Responding" in the Task Manager and may error out because it is not processing its message queue.

What is the "big picture" here?...what is your app doing?...

I'm just modifying some code which will allow you to login to your rapidshare account, but with special functions for premium users

all I need is for it to check if ther'es a connection, then report back true or false to a boolean variable and if that's variable is false, then sleep for 10 minutes

If you're tyring to determine if nothing was returned then you could do:

    if (response == null)

But I don't know if this is the correct way to determine if there was "no response".

To sleep for 10 minutes you could try:

    Thread.Sleep(TimeSpan.FromMinutes(10).TotalMilliseconds);

But again, I don't use the classes you're utilizing and I normally program in VB.Net so my C# syntax may be off.  =\

You should not sleep, you should set a timer control that will call its Timer procedure every ten minutes, then in this procedure you will try to connect and if you do connect, disable the timer and proceed, of you fail to connect, do nothing, the timer function will be called again in 10 minutes.

Ah, sorry, you are using asp.net.... Well Ajax timer control could work, or some java code to simulate timer.

Yeah. blah
response = null is returning an error because response is not a boolean variable

Well, if he is creating a site that should have features like rapidshare, then he is using web forms. If however, he is trying connect to rapidshare, then its a win forms. Maybe I have misunderstood, too. :) Anyway, timer will work for both cases.

Where exactly are you using thic line of code?

if you are checking if response is null then you should use this code:

if (response == null)
