Huge List<T> processing and Pdf generate

I have a pdf file as Byte[] and I'm using iTextSharp to modify the file and embed a specific details in it.
in the List I have min. 25K objects, and I need to generate 25K pdf files.
I'm using Parallel.ForEach but it takes 16.40 mins to be done in Total.
I used ToLookUp method like this:
var valuesToLookupWith = Recipients.ToLookup(item => item.ID);
List<int> Ids = Recipients.Select(item => item.ID).ToList();
Partitioner<int> partitioner = Partitioner.Create(Ids, EnumerablePartitionerOptions.NoBuffering);
Parallel.ForEach(partitioner, new ParallelOptions { MaxDegreeOfParallelism = 6 } ,(id) =>
{
var item = valuesToLookupWith[id].ToList().FirstOrDefault();
item.Attachment = AttachmentEngine.GeneratePdfFromPdfFile((fileAsByteArray,id, "www.xyz.ca"));
...
});
and I used ForEach and also it takes approx. > 25 minutes.
foreach (int id in Ids)
{
var item = valuesToLookupWith[id].ToList().FirstOrDefault();
item.Attachment = AttachmentEngine.GeneratePdfFromPdfFile(fileAsByteArray,id, "www.xyz.ca");
...
}
any suggested way to speedup the process please?
FYI I'm not writing anything on the disk, all is done in memory as Byte[] and then I'm writing the values back to the Db.
and also all the time spent - mentioned in the question is only the time spent for Parallel.ForEach / ForEach statements.
Db calls is not an issue for me at all, I'm making only two calls to the Db , one when I load list of recipients from it and another call when writing values back to the Db
public static byte[] GeneratePdfFromPdfFile(byte[] file, int id, string landingPage)

{
using (var ms = new MemoryStream())

var doc = new iTextSharp.text.Document();
//Create a writer that's bound to our PDF abstraction and our stream
var writer = PdfWriter.GetInstance(doc, ms);
//Open the document for writing
doc.Open();
PdfContentByte cb = writer.DirectContent;
// doc.NewPage();
//var srHtml = new StringReader(source);
////parse html code to xml
//iTextSharp.tool.xml.XMLWorkerHelper.GetInstance().ParseXHtml(writer, doc, srHtml);

for (int pageNumber = 1; pageNumber < reader.NumberOfPages + 1; pageNumber++)
{
doc.SetPageSize(reader.GetPageSizeWithRotation(1));

{

}
else
{

}
}
// Add a new page to the pdf file

writer.SetOpenAction(act);
doc.Close();

Cannot delete selected a row from sqlite database

when i click the delete i.e the method delete_click i cant delete the row

EDIT: I cut and pasted your code incorrectly...you have very poor alignment :)
Okay I think I finally got your code to run, your problem is here
public void ListData_SelectionChanged(object sender, SelectionChangedEventArgs e)
{
if (ListData.SelectedIndex != -1)
{
historyTableSQlite listitem = ListData.SelectedItem as historyTableSQlite;
// this will get destroy when the function exits, it's local decalartion
int Selected_HistoryId = listitem.Id;
// History.Selected_HistoryId = listitem.Id;
// you need to set the Property not a local variable
}
}
you made a local variable named the same as the Property it should be
History.Selected_HistoryId = listitem.Id;
public void Delete_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Db_helper.DeleteContact(History.Selected_HistoryId);
}

After deleting a row , it just do not vanishes from the screen

I am developing an windows phone app using sqlite database.I am able to show out the database and delete the particular row I want to delete.But the problem is after I select the row and click delete the row does not vanishes at that time.I have to renter that page to see that it is deleted.

If you delete the item from your ObservableCollection, it will notify the ListBox to update its container.
In your code you have
// this is correct
ObservableCollection<historyTableSQlite> DB_HistoryList = new ObservableCollection<historyTableSQlite>();
But your problem is that you don't actually link your ListBox to it.
In your code you create a copy (and the worst kind of copy given what you're trying to do) and you set the ListBox ItemsSource to it. See below (you have this)
ListData.ItemsSource = DB_HistoryList.OrderByDescending(i => i.Id).ToList();
So basically, your ListBox is not an ObservableCollection but it's a List structure.
Deleting and Inserting into the List will not update the ListBox's UI.
Get rid of this List, find another way to sort your ObservableCollection.
Then you can basically do this
ListData.ItemsSource = DB_HistoryList; // set the listbox to the actual obs collection
DB_HistoryList.RemoveAt(i); // remove the item at index i
DB_HistoryList.RemoveItem(object); // remove the object that matches

I think it should be:
private void BuildComboList()
{
Applicant defaultApplicant = new Applicant();
applicationList = defaultApplicant.GetList();
applicantList.DataSource = applicationList;
applicantList.DisplayMember = "Applicant_fname";
applicantList.ValueMember = "Applicant_ID";
}
You can change the applicant class further as follows:
Add two properties.
public string DisplayName
{
get { return (applicant_fname + " " + applicant_lname; }
}
public string DisplayValue
{
get { return (applicant_ID.ToString(); }
}
Keep data binding as:
private void BuildComboList()
{
Applicant defaultApplicant = new Applicant();
applicationList = defaultApplicant.GetList();
applicantList.DataSource = applicationList;
applicantList.DisplayMember = "DisplayName";
applicantList.ValueMember = "DisplayValue";
}

protobuf-net Specified method is not supported

When executing ImportP51, I get the exception "Specified method is not supported", I am using protobuf-net V2 r594 which was released on the 12/10/2012 and am thinking of trying to use one of the previous versions if I cannot get it to work with this version. Can someone please tell me what I am doing wrong?

I've tried to reconstruct a working version of the code (since I don't have your BaseModel) which I've done by using automatically implemented properties and adding an initializer for the list (DailyData), and explicitly referencing r594 from google-code. The only error I get is:
Cannot apply changes to property ClimateDailyData.JulianDay
which makes sense, because it can't rightly deserialize data into a read-only property, so I removed the serialization marker from that one:
// [ProtoMember(2)] removed - serialized implicitly via DataData
public int JulianDay { get { return DataDate.DayOfYear; } }
After that it worked fine. Since I don't have your command framework, I have:
static class Program
{
static void Main()
{
var climateFile = new ClimateFile();
climateFile.InitSomeDataForSerialization();
climateFile.SaveP51XFile("foo.P51X");
var clone = ClimateFile.Load("foo.P51X");
}
}
where InitSomeDataForSerialization just sets some of the values (since they have private setters, I can't do that in Main):
public void InitSomeDataForSerialization()
{
Longitude = 10; Latitude = 4; Notes = "Test";
DailyData.Add(
new ClimateDailyData { DataDate = DateTime.Today, MinTemperature = 12, MaxTemperature = 35}
);
}
And... it works.
On a hunch, I checked what happens if you reference "CoreOnly" instead of "Full", but that then refuses to compile because Serializer.Serialize<T> and Serializer.Deserialize<T> don't exist.
I'm happy to help, but as far as I can tell, nothing is wrong.
Things I would suggest next:
show the full stack-trace of what happens in this exception, including any inner-exceptions (see the fix below)
please check exactly which file you referenced in the 594 zip (look at "What Files Do I Need.txt", but I'd guess the correct one for you is "Full/net30/..."; the nuget package configures the most appropriate files automatically)
please show a fully reproducible example, i.e. where I can press F5 and see the exact exception (I had to change the code in the example for it to compile, which means I am no longer testing the same thing)
Fix for correct exception wrapping:
catch (Exception e)
{
throw new InvalidDataException(String.Format("The file \"{0}\" could not be opened", filePath), e);
}
