Question on Program Hanging

M

Microsoft

Hi

I have a c# program that continually runs 24/7 and performs a variety of
tasks based on a timer.

There is one routine that hangs every Saturday morning without fail. If I
restart the program throughout the week is still hangs. I can restart it
immediatly after the hang and it runs fine until next Saturday.

There is nothing different about Saturday that I can think of.

Any help tracking this down would be appreciated!


Thanks

Robert



Here is the code snip:

af.AddToFile(Constants.c_LogFile,DateTime.Now.ToString() + " Start Grab New
Invoices") ; // Simply writes out to a log file

ds = gds.GrabTheData("NewInvoices"); // ar_GetEmailInvoice01 - Puts data
into a dataset

af.AddToFile(Constants.c_LogFile,DateTime.Now.ToString() + " End Grab New
Invoices") ;

af.AddToFile(Constants.c_LogFile, DateTime.Now.ToString() + " Start For
each");

af.AddToFile(Constants.c_LogFile, DateTime.Now.ToString() + " Start For each
Next");



// ****************************************** HANGS Here or

tempRowCount = ds.Tables[0].Rows.Count;

// ****************************************** HANGS Here

af.AddToFile(Constants.c_LogFile, DateTime.Now.ToString() + " Row Count " +
tempRowCount.ToString() ) ;

foreach (DataRow dr in ds.Tables[0].Rows)

{

af.AddToFile(Constants.c_LogFile,DateTime.Now.ToString() + " Email the
Invoice") ;

CreateInvoice(dr["CustNum"].ToString(),dr["OrdNum"].ToString()) ;

EmailInvoice(dr["CustNum"].ToString(),dr["OrdNum"].ToString()) ;



gds.CustNum = dr["CustNum"].ToString() ;

gds.QuoteNum = dr["OrdNum"].ToString() ;

gds.UpdateTheData("InvoicesEmailed") ;

}

af.AddToFile(Constants.c_LogFile,DateTime.Now.ToString() + " Exiting") ;

What error are you getting?
Check AppDomain.UnhandledException

Hi Robert,

As for such hang behavior problem, generally, if we can not get clear clus
from code logic, it will require some debugging work on it (such as find
the blocking thread and resource).

Not sure whether you've already read some about managed debugging on
application hang, here are some good blog article about managed debugging:

#.NET Debugging Demos Lab 1: Hang
http://blogs.msdn.com/tess/archive/2008/02/04/net-debugging-demos-lab-1-hang
.aspx

#.NET Hang Debugging Walkthrough
http://blogs.msdn.com/tess/archive/2006/10/16/net-hang-debugging-walkthrough
.aspx

BTW, as you provided the code snippet and the potential block point, how
did you originally track down to it? Also, it seems there are many method
calls on a custom class, has it accessed any particular resource or objects
that may cause problem?

Sincerely,

Steven Cheng

Hi Robert,

Have you got any progress on this issue or does those information help
some? Since such hanging or crash problem is likely to be hard for
troubleshooting, especially in production environment. If you still have no
luck on this and feel it an urgent issue, I would suggest you consider
contacting CSS for incident based support:
