In many cases I wish animation to be executed synchronously. Especially when I wish to make a a series of sequential animations. Is there an easy way to make a jQuery animate function call synchronous? The only way I thought about is to set a flag true when the animation has finished and to wait for this flag. ...
I'm watching a directory by calling ReadDirectoryChangesW synchronously. When a new file is available, I try to access it immediately with CreateFile with GENERIC_READ and FILE_SHARE_READ, but this gives me ERROR_SHARING_VIOLATION.

Ive searched a lot of places for the answer to this seemingly simple problem, but Ive only found rather complicated answers involving classes, event handlers and callbacks (which seem to me to be a somewhat sledgehammer approach). I think callbacks may be useful but I cant seem to apply these in the simplest context. See this example: <...
I have a queue in which I can enqueue different threads, so I can assure two things: Request are processed one by one. Request are processed in the arriving order Second point is important.

Hi All, In last 1 year I was working on Java and flex. While coding flex, most of my code parts went for a toss since its asynchronous. It made me to think about the real advantages and disadvantages of synchronous executing languages vs asynchronously executing ones. What are the areas where they are stronger compared to other and wha...
I started out using asynchronism but to get the returned data became a hassle. I then began using class methods which, I believe, ruled out the possibility of using the delegate methods. So I kept with the synchronous, knowing that this would be an issue but didn't think I would have this much difficulty with a solution. What is the best...

I'm setting up a web service in Axis2 whose job it will be to take a bunch of XML and put it on to a queue to be processed later. I understand its possible to set up a client to invoke a synchronous web service asynchronously by creating a using an "invokeNonBlocking" operation on the "Call" instance.

We are working on integrating two different applications that run simultaneously and share data. One application provides the data, the other one computes some values based off external systems and the data and has to provide it back to the first application.

I went to the iPhone Developer Tech Talk a few months ago and asked one of the gurus there about the lack of NSHost on the iPhone. Some code I was porting to the iPhone made significant use of NSHost throughout its networking code. I was told that NSHost is on the iPhone, but its private. I was also told that NSHost is a synchronous API...
