BinaryReader Closed But File Not Released?

Apr 11, 2012

Private Function GetImageSize(ByVal FileName As String) As Size
Dim ImageSize As Size
Using BR As New BinaryReader(New FileStream(FileName, FileMode.Open))
Do

[code]....

I want to display photos of people when the mouse passes over their name. I wanted to be able to size the picture box to be proportional to the various photographs and let the Stretch property handle the rest.I used the code above offered by John Wein to a question from 2009 to read the dimension of the picture It worked fine until I pass over the same person twice. Then I get an error that the file is in use by another process.I tried adding:

"BR.Close"

With and without

"BR.Dispose"

But the file is still locked-out on the second pass. I tried setting "PictureBox.Image = Nothing" when the mouse leaves the square, still the file is seen as in use and locked.

Binaryreader - Reading To End Of File?

Jan 14, 2010

I have tried to create a method for writing information from an instance of a class to a binary file. The code works fine, the only problem is finding the end of the file. After it has read the last value that should be read, the basestream.Length is still higher than basestream.Position (by a random number)In my case I have created a class with two fields (name and birthday), one that is string and a date field. With my code, this should write 5 lines to the file (classname + nameofNameField + StringValue + nameOfBirthdayField + DateValue) When reading there's still more information in the file, when I have read the DateValue. Why? How do I find if it has read the end of the file?

Paste A File Using The Binaryreader And Binarywriter?

Mar 5, 2011

I created a subroutine to copy and paste a file using the binaryreader and binarywriter. It works fine from what I can tell. The file sizes match up any how but I was wondering if anybody had an idea on a better way to get the amount of bytes that should be copied in one set.

binwriter.Write(binread.ReadBytes(100000)) I want to make the readbytes as large as possible without crashing the users computer.

Sep 15, 2011

Im trying to create a bittorrent client, now I'm in the bencode decoder reading the .torrent file with the use of a BinaryReader(datos variable), when I'm reading the value of "pieces" of the "info" dictionary, but in some part of the value of "pieces" i can't read the bytes of them, therefore all of the rest bytes of the "pieces" don't be readed.

this is the code I'm using to read the value of "pieces"

Dim numeric As Char = Convert.ToChar(datos.ReadByte())
Dim value As BEncodeString

b) When the PDF file is loaded test that it properly loaded so that it can be reloaded if necessary.

.net - DataReader Not Closed When Connection Is Closed, Consequences?

May 31, 2011

for example i have this code :

Sub Month()
Dim Conn As New Data.OracleClient.OracleConnection
Conn.Open()
Try
Dim Cmd As New Data.OracleClient.OracleCommand
With Cmd

[Code]...

What will happen to the datareader when the Connection is closed ( Conn.close)

Will the Cursor that is used by the datareader be freed ? or will it stay open ?

If the cursor that is used by the datareader is still open , when will it be automatically closed ? or should i just closed it manually ?

Will it cause the dreaded "ORA-01000: maximum open cursors exceeded" ?

How To Check If Mutex Is Released

Dec 23, 2009

i've got a Set and a Get in a property. I want to allow multiple threads to do Get anytime they wish to, however if any thread tries to do Set, all threads must not be able to Get/Set until the Set is complete.[code]the problem is that this is pretty inefficient because each request to Get will steal the Mutex and prevent other Gets until the stolen Mutex is Released. Is there anyway to just check if a Mutex is released instead of using WaitOne because WaitOne checks and gains control of the Mutex which is not what i want

Print Log In Released Runtime?

Jan 7, 2011

When running a program in VS debug mode, I use the Debug.Print and watch the Immidiate Window. I'm sure there are more advanced ways to debug, but I haven't learned so far.

But I would like to know how is the best way to track both log of exceptions as well as in-code specific method print-outs (like Debug.Print), during "released" runtime; outside VS.

I would like for two purpose:

Write to log text-file
Write to UI window, like a rich-textbox.

Is this a case I should use Console.Writline? I have never used that, so if you could briefly explain if this is the right tool for what I want to accomplish, or what other ways I should consider.

Track When A Given Object Is Released?

Jul 30, 2009

I can define a NEW sub that runs when an object is instantiated. What is the correct sub to call when it is disposed? I would think a method named dispose, but I seem to remember somewhere that there is a better choice than dispose.

Why do I care? I want to be able to track when a given object is released.

With a form, I can use formClosing, but what about a simple class definition?

how I would know what to search for to have found it without bugging any of you? everything I tried resulted in way too many hits that had nothing to do with VB or what I wanted to achieve.

Why Is The MemoryStream Data Not Released From Memory

May 19, 2009

Is there something that needs to be done with the following code to release the memory it uses?

Dim objImage As MemoryStream
Dim objwebClient As WebClient
Dim sURL As String = Trim(m_StationInterface.PicLocation)

[Code].....

The code is on a popup form that shouldn't ever get disposed. A new image is loaded onto the form every time it pops up. However, the process size for the application continues to grow each time it makes it through that code block.

I've tried objImage.Close() and .Flush(), objWebClient.Dispose(). The process size still grows by a good 4mb after every call. It's like the old image is kept in memory.

Cannot Access A Closed File

Sep 8, 2009

I can't understand why I'm getting this error. I'm trying to parse a tab seperated file. After 10 lines being read it throws the above error which is an ObjectDisposedException.

Public Function readNextLine(ByRef buffer As Single()) As Boolean
Dim i As Integer
Dim tempString As String()

I can't understand it, it's called and operates fine for the first 10 iterations and on the 11th throws and error. There is nothing special about that line in the log file.

Office Automation :: Marshal.GetActiveObject Preventing Excel From Being Released?

May 17, 2010

I've created a simple Windows Forms Application and the idea is I want to identify all instances of Excel, save any open workbooks to my desktop and close all the Excel instances down.[code]I'm pretty new to this C# business so hints on the following two possible issues I've identified would be much appreciated:The ForEach loop doesn't seem to be successfully looping through the XlApp.Workbooks collection as I was hoping.
It seems that I can't quit each Excel application which, with my current code structure, is causing an infinite loop. My suspicion is that Marshal.GetActiveObject() is locking it up and preventing it from closing?If nothing obvious jumps out then I might try the alternative method by Andrew Whitechapel mentioned and linked to on this thread.

Visual Studio 2010 - Administartive Access To A Released Program?

Aug 2, 2011

When a customer decides not to have the three options they are disabled but still in the program. If at some point they decide to buy the options, one of our technicians would have to go there and be able to access the program with an administrative account to enabled the components.

Does anyone have any suggestions on what the easiest way to accomplish this?

Error - Unexpected End Of File Has Occurred. The Following Elements Are Not Closed

Mar 17, 2011

I am reading a large number of XML files and do not want my program to bomb on exceptions. I am making great strides in reporting the errors, skipping the offending files and continuing the import process. However I am having problems with XmlExceptions. I get the following XmlException on the While textReader.Read() line of my program:

Quote:

XmlException was unhandled
Unexpected end of file has occurred. The following elements are not closed:
my:PicInsert, my:PictureGroup, my:myFields. Line 153, position 430817.

I am finding some of the reasons why, missing tags etc, but those aren't really my concern. I just want to report the issue and continue. I am thinking about some kind of check for a valid xml file but fear that that might not catch it all. For example I had a image tag in one of the files that was missing an alt="" attribute and I am not sure if that would invalidate the entire XML file.What would be the best way to trap and deal with the exception with out causing interuption to the program?

XElement.Parse Unexpected End Of File. Elements Are Not Closed

Jun 10, 2011

I am trying to parse incoming data from a serial port that appears to be XML format but an exception is thrown when I switch from a simulated setup to the real deal.My program runs great in a simulated setup but when I try it out on the real device I get: XmlException was unhandled Unexpected end of file has occurred. The following elements are not closed: li840 line 1, position 9.The li840 tag is my root tag and the position never seems to get past 40. I've tried using a try catch block but in my in both my simulated and real setups my values are blank but the program will run without exceptions. Should I take my received data and put it into a file and then read from the file? or is there something else I can do to make this work properly? [code]

Xml - Unexpected End Of File: Elements Not Closed VB Xmlreader: Parse?

Mar 21, 2012

Pretty much the only thing I have changed is created a loop because I have one xmlstring and want to break it up and create tif files from it(which it actually does do).My problem is this: readbytes inside the while loop throws an exception at the last time through the loop that says I have an "unexpected end of file; the following elements are not closed" and lists them

[code]...

So there are tags left open after the readtofollowing("image"). I tried catching the exception to no avail, tried to read until eof, no avail. I dont really need elements to be closed, I just need to continue because I created files using whats in the image tag.EDIT: I think my xmlstring is going to have times where it will be too big to do a parse without slowing down too much.../parsing binary data?
