I would like my newer C# 2.0 application to talk to my older Java 1.4 application (can't change versions, sorry). What are my options? I think that using shared memory would give me better performance, but on the other hand, if I use a network protocol then the architecture would be more flexible. So I'm looking to weigh up both options...
For one of my projects I need users to be able to communicate with each other in an audio mode. The thing I'm concerned about is the scalability of the project if it even gets big in terms of bandwidth consumption. What are the alternatives to passing the audio through my server to the users? Is it possible to create a link between tw...
On one board I have a microcontroller with one power supply and on another I have a Flip Flop with a separate power supply. I want to connect a pin of the microcontroller to the reset pin of the flip flop. Can I just put a wire accross or does it need more than that? I was going to do that but now I'm not sure that would work because it ...
How can I communicate with a process using anonymous pipes in Ruby? The process in question is supposed to stay there and listen for commands from stdin. I'd also like to read it's output, which is separated by "\r\n". Using Open3 from the standard library: @stdin, @stdout, @stderr, @thr = Open3.popen3(cmd) The problem with this is ...
I need just a basic example or tutorial of making a mobile phone and a computer communicate via Bluetooth. A good link/website to start from is also appreciated. Server part (computer part) can be made on many programming languages (Java, C++, Python or even something else). Client part (mobile phone) must be a Java Micro Edition MIDl...

Hi All, Im currently working on registration of our application. Basically we have a simple concurrent licensing system so when the user logs in we store their computer name and logon name to uniquely identify them. This is done from a simple winforms app that allows us to retrieve this data. We now have a brother silverlight project th...
Hi, I'm revisiting a communications protocol parser design for a stream of bytes (serial data, received 1 byte at a time). The packet structure (can't be changed) is: || Start Delimiter (1 byte) | Message ID (1 byte) | Length (1 byte) | Payload (n bytes) | Checksum (1 byte) || In the past I have implemented such systems in a procedu...
I need to managed a pool of agents from my application. All are written in Java but the agents need to run in their own JVM. I wrote a proof of concept that starts the subprocesses and uses the stdout/stdin to send commands and keep-alive information. I also open a socket connection for data transfer. I guess that some connection poolin...
Of all the annoying buzzwords, "functionality" is the worst when I am in the middle of writing a specification (as I am now): "these requirements define the functionality to be included in version 2"..."as part of the download functionality, we need to capture blah blah blah" (Don't get me started on "capture") "Functionality" is too cu...
I have a datastore with a cache and a db, simple. The tricksy part is that I want a way to control if the the datastore hits the db in a real-time way. That is to say while the process is running I want to be able to toggle if it's connected to the db or not. I looked into env variables, but it doesn't seem like those get updated as t...
what i need is a server that listens to 5060 port , when the client sends data to that port the server should open up another port ( any port after 1250 i believe ) and forward the clients data to that port keeping 5060 idle so it can perform the same function for the next client so basically i need the server to a) open up multiple p...
Hello Everyone! I am trying to figure out how I would go about taking serial information from an arduino which controls a javascript browser extension I have running in an open browser locally on a computer. It would seem that I would need some sort of middleman to internalize the serial readings and pass them to the browser (to activa...
Hi ! I have a design questions about this scenario: Suppose you have a form with many sites to be filled, let's call each site a plugin. Among other classes I've created a PluginManager class that takes evidence of all plugins and provides some functionality and properties: class PluginManager { ... BasePlugin CurrentPlugin {get;se...
I wrote a simple server and client apps, where I can switch between TCP, DCCP and UDP protocols. The goal was to transfer a file from the one to the other and measure the traffic for each protocol, so I can compare them for different network setups (I know roughly what the result should be, but I need exact numbers/graphs). Anyway after ...
Im a novice in c sharp and im stuck with this task. My requirement is , I create many threads and these threads (send using COM1) have to communicate with a single serial port say COM2. All the threads have to send message using a single COM port(receive using COM2). say,send "helloworld1"(using thread1) and "helloworld2"(thread2) usin...
Hi All, I have an upcoming project (legit) that requires me to stop our software calling home yet tricking the program into thinking it is still legit(which it is). What sort of techniques are the best to use for this type of project. The software is written specifically for one version of the software. Any language welcome :) Thanks...
I'm having hard time to choose the format on which my server and my end points will communicate with. I am considering: JSON YAML Too hard to parse CSV Google Protobufs Binary packing/unpacking (with no use of casting/memset/memcpy to enable portability) Some form of DSL Any other suggestion you might have My criterias are ordered ...
Hi, In one of the projects I work for we are asked for to investigate the possibilities of our application's communication with SAP applications. As a person who does not have any experience with SAP, what steps should I follow and what questions should I ask to come out with a useful report? Can you recommend me a road map to achiev...
