WPF Animation / Processing priority

Hi all, I have a button which has an animation (in xaml) on it's click event. Cool so far. Problem is that I also have processing occurring on the click event (so I can do stuff) - and this occurs first. How do I prioritise or re-order so that the animation takes place before any custom processing... Thanks. ...

.NET Form_load priority

So, the problem is such as this: I have a method that does stuff and updates a progress bar. If I call the method after the form is fully loaded (i.e.: by assigning it to a button on the form) everything works fine. The problem is that I need the method to start working as soon as the form loads, by itself, so I would place it in the For...

[ERLANG] Priority send and receive

I have a problem that I wonder if it can be efficiently implemented in ERLANG. I have a bunch of nodes communicating with each other using a protocol that adds priority information to messages. I would like to be able to send the highest priority messages first (at the sender) and handle them first at the receiver, before the lower-prio...

What to check to see if server has enough free resources?

The windows service I am writing will need to run some processor intensive operations once in a while (sound encoding wav -> mp3) on a machine that takes part in real time voice communication (so I cannot just run them any-time). What would you check (what counters maybe) before running such operation? Can you point me to any good arti...

SQL - select first in value set by priority?

I'm fairly inexperienced in SQL and this seems like it must be an easy task, but I'm not sure how to go about it. Basically I want to select a single row from table A where field "someField" is in a pre-determined set "someSet", but I want it to look for each value in the set individually. For example, let's say "someSet" contains 5, 6,...

Low-priority I/O in OS X

launchd has option to run process with low priority I/O. How does it work exactly? (how low is low, does it affect all operations?)

I need to scan watched (FSEvents) directories in background application, and I'd like this to be as gentle as possibl...

Is there any way to guarantee a minimum processor time allocation % for specific processes on Windows CE or XP Embedded?

I'm looking for a capability similar to Windows System Resource Manager to allocate minimum percentages of processor time to specific processes, but on constrained non-server Windows platforms such as CE and XP (Vista/7 are not an option here). For example, I'd like to assign minimum 60% CPU and 25% I/O bandwidth to a foreground full sc...

Implementing message priority in AMQP

Hello all, I'm intending to use AMQP to allow a distributed collection of machines to report to a central location asynchronously. The idea is to drop messages into the queue and allow the central logging entity to process the queue in a decoupled fashion; the 'process' is simply to create or update a row in a database table. A proble...

Automatically adjusting process priorities under Linux

Hello Everyone! I'm trying to write a program that automatically sets process priorities based on a configuration file (basically path - priority pairs). I thought the best solution would be a kernel module that replaces the execve() system call. Too bad, the system call table isn't exported in kernel versions > 2.6.0, so it's not poss...

I'm wondering if it is possible to control the execution priority of SQL Server processes.

Android: SMS filter - Can you have priority listener for SMS messages?

Hi, I am trying to implement an app that will only listen for a certain header in the SMS. (Parse the sms message and look for some header) That's not hard to do.
