Two identical multithreading scripts are causing memoryleak

I am working on my own multithreading for my algorithm independed pathfinding for unity. However, when I am executing two the same class I get a memory leak and when only executing one instance I am having no issues. I really want to use at least two threads if it is necessary.
Below is the class I have issues with. Keep in mind, that two independend threads will have to execute parts of this script. AddJob can be called from the main unity thread but will most likely be called from another update thread for the agents.

}
Volatile is only good for changing the value of the field - not calling methods on a collection that is referenced by the field.
You propably do not need to have Volatile in CompletedProcessingCallback, but it depends where else this is used. Certainly having volatile on a struct field is a bad smell.
Resolve these thread issues first, then see if you still have the problem.

UserAppDataReigistry not persisting

I have the following class to persist my camera settings.
using System;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Windows.Forms;
using DevExpress.XtraEditors.Camera;
public class CameraDeviceHelper
{
public string DeviceMoniker;
public string DeviceName;
public int DeviceResolutionWidth;
public int DeviceResolutionHeight;
const string kDeviceName = "CameraDeviceName";
const string kDeviceMoniker = "CameraDeviceMoniker";
const string kDeviceResolutionWidth = "CameraDeviceResolutionWidth";
const string kDeviceResolutionHeight = "CameraDeviceResolutionHeight";
public bool SaveCameraDevice(CameraControl cc)
{
try
{
DeviceMoniker = cc.Device.DeviceMoniker;
DeviceName = cc.Device.Name;
DeviceResolutionWidth = cc.Device.Resolution.Width;
DeviceResolutionHeight = cc.Device.Resolution.Height;
Application.UserAppDataRegistry.SetValue(kDeviceName, DeviceName);
Application.UserAppDataRegistry.SetValue(kDeviceMoniker, DeviceMoniker);
Application.UserAppDataRegistry.SetValue(kDeviceResolutionWidth, DeviceResolutionWidth);
Application.UserAppDataRegistry.SetValue(kDeviceResolutionHeight, DeviceResolutionHeight);
return true;
}
catch (Exception)
{
return false;
}
}
public bool RestoreCameraDevice(CameraControl cc)
{
try
{
DeviceName = Application.UserAppDataRegistry.GetValue(kDeviceName, DeviceName).ToString();
DeviceMoniker =Application.UserAppDataRegistry.GetValue(kDeviceMoniker, DeviceMoniker).ToString();
DeviceResolutionWidth = (int) Application.UserAppDataRegistry.GetValue(kDeviceResolutionWidth, DeviceResolutionWidth);
DeviceResolutionHeight = (int)Application.UserAppDataRegistry.GetValue(kDeviceResolutionHeight, DeviceResolutionHeight);
var moniker = new DevExpress.Data.Camera.CameraDeviceInfo(DeviceMoniker, DeviceName);
cc.Device = new CameraDevice(moniker);
var sz = new Size(DeviceResolutionWidth,DeviceResolutionHeight);
cc.Device.Resolution = sz;
if (cc.Device.Resolution.Width != sz.Width)
{ MessageBox.Show("Not set");}
cc.Start();
return true;
}
catch (Exception)
{
return false;
}
}
}
}
The persisting works while the application runs.
However when I restart the application the settings are lost.
I call the methods in my form's load and FormClosed events
private void Camera_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
textEdit1.Text = PhotoCaption;
cameraDeviceHelper = new CameraDeviceHelper();
try
{
cameraDeviceHelper.RestoreCameraDevice(cameraControl1);
}
catch (Exception)
{
// probably first time... so just dont complain
throw;
}
}
private void Camera_FormClosed(object sender, FormClosedEventArgs e)
{
cameraDeviceHelper.SaveCameraDevice(cameraControl1);
}

The solution is not to have an * in the AssemblyVersion
otherwise every time the application is built the registry key will change.

Beep in C# .NET application on server side

To debug a firewall delay issue I need an application that will produce a beep on server side when it detects an HTTP GET request.
This code (test.ashx):
<%# WebHandler Language="C#" Class="TestHandler" %>
using System;
using System.Web;
public class TestHandler : IHttpHandler
{
public void ProcessRequest(HttpContext context)
{
HttpResponse Response = context.Response;
try
{
Response.Write("Before beep");
Console.Beep();
Response.Write("After beep");
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
Response.Write(ex.Message + "<br />\n" + ex.InnerException.Message);
}
}
public bool IsReusable { get { return false; } }
}
produces sound only when debugging in IIS Express. After moving the web app to IIS, the sound disappears.

The three easy ways of producing a sound are System.Console.Beep(), System.Media.SoundPlayer, and System.Media.SystemSounds.Beep().
Unfortunately, these methods only work in desktop applications, and won't work in service applications. When ASP.Net apps are run under IIS Express (a desktop app), these sound methods work. However, when ASP.Net apps are run under the IIS service, the sound methods don't work.
System.Console.Beep() ultimately calls the kernel32.dll Beep() function. It's restricted to desktop apps only (scroll down to the Requirements section).
Same for System.Media.SoundPlayer and System.Media.SystemSounds.Beep(). They call the kernel32.dll MessageBeep() and the winmm.dll PlaySound() functions, respectively. They, too, are restricted to desktop apps.
One way to get sounds to play in a service is use NAudio. It's easy to install via NuGet.
This chunk of code is the only way I could get the sound to play. It has to be played on a separate worker thread, and the execution of the worker thread needs to be paused to let the .wav file finish playing.
using System;
using System.Diagnostics;
using System.Threading;
using NAudio.Dsp;
using NAudio.Wave;
...
protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
var waveFilename = #"c:\Windows\Media\tada.wav";
/* Trying to play the .wav file on the main thread
doesn't seem to work. */
ThreadPool.QueueUserWorkItem(
(state) =>
{
using (var audioPlayback = new AudioPlayback())
{
audioPlayback.Load(waveFilename);
audioPlayback.Play(); // Asynchronous.
/* Need to sleep for the approximate length of .wav file,
otherwise no sound is produced because of the
asynchronous Play() call. */
Thread.Sleep(2000);
}
});
}
Here's the supporting code taken from code in NAudio's NAudioWPFDemo project:

C# Using SoundPlayer to Pause and Resume

I am another person dabbling with C# and wanting to create a simple audio application that plays wav files loaded into the program via an upload program. My issue is that I need to get whatever audio file currently being played to pause with the track timer of the audio file being used when I start the audio file again via my Play button. I already have a global timer, 'baseTimer', that I think I can use to set the audio file, that was stopped, track duration point. However I do not know how to accomplish this nor do I really know how to use all of the mci commands yet.
I have displayed all of my code for my main application... I also have read that I may need to utilize threading, but I've also read that it would be impossible to set an audio files track duration with a thread.

Edit:
For clarity currentaudio has a file as such "music3.wav" or "talk1.wav" in it.

Super old question but just for anyone looking here's what worked for me:
double currentPos = audioplayer.CurrentPosition;
audioplayer.Play();
audioplayer.Seek(currentPos);

SoundPlayer is extremely limited, and doesn't support Pause and Resume. Are you able to use the WPF MediaElement instead? You will find it is much more powerful, supporting playing files of many types, repositioning, setting volume, pausing and resuming. You can also use it to get the file length instead of mci.

Symbol.WPAN.Bluetooth example that transfers data

I am trying to use Symbol.WPAN.Bluetooth that comes with the EMDK for Symbol devices.
Does anyone happen to have a working example that transfers data?
Symbol's example just pairs the devices. (They apparently think that transfering data is not really needed in a Personal Area network example.)
Anyway, I know this is a long shot, but if anyone has gotten this to work I would love to see some code.
This is what I have tried. I have one device press button1 and another device press button2. The read value is always a zero length byte array.

I gave up on using the built in com port connection and opened a SerialPort object on the connection.
SerialPort sp = new SerialPort();
sp.PortName = "COM" + connectedDevice.LocalComPort.ToString();
sp.BaudRate = 9600;
sp.DataBits = 8;
sp.Parity = Parity.None;
sp.StopBits = StopBits.One;
sp.Open();
sp.Open();
sp.DataReceived += new SerialDataReceivedEventHandler(sp_DataReceived);
sp.ErrorReceived += new SerialErrorReceivedEventHandler(sp_ErrorReceived);
sp.WriteLine(textBoxSend.Text);
I also found that even though their docs said that LocalComPort was auto assigned, this was not always the truth. It was best to use their BTExplorer to set it first.
As well, there OpenComPort would work in situations where is should not -- using Reflector it is pretty obviously wrong. There are checking the return of ::CreateFile("COM" + port...) against 0 instead of -1 (INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE)

I don't know if this can ever help anyone, but here is an old piece of code that I wrote a few years back.
You'll have to clean it up so that it works for your application. My app had a TextBox control that it read from and logged errors to a Global class. Change that to work with what you have, and it should basically be good.
