PerformanceCounter.NextValue hangs on some machines.
- by Poma
I don't know why, but many computers hangs on following operation:
void Init()
{
net1 = new List<PerformanceCounter>();
net2 = new List<PerformanceCounter>();
foreach (string instance in new PerformanceCounterCategory("Network Interface").GetInstanceNames())
{
net1.Add(new PerformanceCounter("Network Interface", "Bytes Received/sec", instance));
net2.Add(new PerformanceCounter("Network Interface", "Bytes Sent/sec", instance));
}
}
//Once in 1 second
void UpdateStats()
{
Status.Text = "";
for (int i = 0; i < net1.Count; i++)
Status.Text += string.Format("{0}/{1} Kb/sec; ", net1[i].NextValue() / 1024, net2[i].NextValue() / 1024);
}
On some computes program hangs completely on first call of UpdateStats(), others experiencing 100% CPU load but program works (slowly). Other counters like new PerformanceCounter("Processor", "% Processor Time", "_Total") seems to work fine.
Any suggwstions why is that?
