Office Automation :: Garbage Collection When Reassigning Object Variable
Jan 23, 2009If I use a single variable of type Excel.Worksheet to reference Worksheet1, and then change it to Worksheet2, Worksheet3 and so on, is it adequate to simply do "Marshal.FinalReleaseComObject(worksheetVariable)" once at the end? Or would I be left with some references still in memory? In other words, do I need to do a "Marshal.FinalReleaseComObject" before each re-assignment?
View 3 RepliesC# - Does The CLR Garbage Collection Methodology Mean It's Safe To Throw Circular Object References Around
Feb 3, 2010I have a theory that the CLR garbage collection mechanism means that I can get away with circular references in my object hierarchy without creating deadlocks for teardown and garbage collection. Is this a safe assumption to make? (Target language VB.NET)

Jul 23, 2010I thought that when a variable went out of scope (like a variable declared within a method - when you exit that method the variable is out of scope) then it was eligible for garbage collection and when it was garage collected the Dispose method is called on it. Now I know that it does not get disposed immediately but I assumed it would be basically as soon as the process starts to take up quite a bit of memory.However, I found that my app's memory usage seems to constantly increase when I dont manually Dispose of a specific method local variable. Of course its good practice to call Dispose and ordinarily I would but I just didn't realise that this particular class actually implemented IDisposable. The class in question was the System.DirectoryServices.SearchResultCollection class, and I was looping through the items in it like so:

.Net Form Garbage Collection Behavior?
Jan 11, 2011I'm creating a windows forms program and have recently noticed a large amount of memory slowly being eaten by the application. I went through my program and tried to tie up as many loose ends as I could in relation to object creation but noticed that the program would still keep memory for every form loaded until it eventually crashed.
I decided to make a simple test program which sole purpose is to pop-up a new form with a few controls, wait for 200 milliseconds, then close the form and repeat the process 30 times every time I hit a button. I found it caused the same behavior, even with the only new object creation being that of the form. So, I decided to manually invoke the garbage collector in a subroutine which handles the formclosed event. During tests I would get some memory back occasionally, but not enough to make a difference in the long run. So I start setting the form variable to nothing before I called GC.collect(). The program will initially eat a few 1000K of memory before leveling off and using only 20-40K for every 30 forms created.
Now what I'm wondering is, what is the point of an automated garbage collection system if it requires constant manual evocation and explicit dereferencing of all new objects to be effective? Have I completely lost grasp on the scope of VB.Net forms and it simply never marks forms as available memory to be cleared?I would have thought object memory references created within a form would be marked as usable when the form's close or dispose routine is called and no references to objects created within the form exist anywhere outside the closed form.

[2005] .net Garbage Collection And Primitives?
Jan 29, 2009Is the memory from primitive data types (int, char,etc) immediately released once they leave scope, or added to garbage collection for later release?
consider:
For x as integer=0 to 1000
dim y as integer
Next
If this doesn't add 1000 integers to the garbage collector for clean up later,how does it treat string objects? would this create 1000 strings to clean up later?
For x as integer=0 to 1000
dim y as string=""
Next
How about structures that contain only int,string,etc... data types?
C# - Winform Application, Does Window Minimize Force Garbage Collection?
Feb 8, 2011Here's the scenario, winforms application, monitoring via Task Manager Processes Tab.On initial launch spins up to ~61,000K (initial data grid and data loads)If I minimize the application, not touching or doing anything the Mem usage drops to 1,380K.When I restore the application is spins back up to only 5.8K
So my question is, does the minimize send some internal message to clean up resources since the application in question is not in focus?The first app I noticed this in happens to be VB.NET, but I've observed the same behavior in my main C# winform applications.
Setup A Customer Collection Class That Has One Function?
Jan 15, 2012I am having trouble setting up these classes.I need to set up a customer collection class that has one function GetCustomer(ByVal customerNumber As Integer) As Customer..The customer class reads a file and returns 5 fields and x number of records.My question is do I set up the 5 properties (fields) in the Customer class and if there are 10 records that match how do I return the customer object to the customer collection class. I don't care about exact syntax but could someone show me how these 2 classes should look?
View 2 RepliesC# Accessing Properties Of An Object From A Collection Class?
Jun 10, 2009I am moving from VB to C#. I am trying to loop through a collection class which is a collection of data classes but I can't seem to get the actual values out of the data class properties(find the correct code to do so). I have a method that loops through the collection class(Contacts) and saves each record(Contact). I am using reflection because my method will not know if it is Contacts class or a Customer class and so forth. Here is my code in VB(watered down)
Public Function SaveCollection(ByVal objCollection as Object, ByVal TableName as string, ByVal spSave as string)
Dim objClass as Object
[Code]....
The C# code keeps returning null. In my locals window I can see the proprties on the class on objClass and the value of the propery but I can seem to figure out how to access it through code. I used the DictionaryBase because that seems to closely match would I need to do. My data class(Contact) has a bunch or properties that match the field names in the database of the Contact Table. After I get the propInfo variable set I then set up my SQLParameter with the fieldname, datatype etc and then set the value to the propInfo.value.

OOP - Declare Two Datatables And Fill Them Both From A Datatable Returned By A Function In Class
Sep 27, 2010When I declare two datatables and fill them both from a datatable returned by a function in class, that when i filter the one it seems to filter the other aswell?
For example:
I declare the datatable and initiate my class:
Dim DatatableOne As New Datatable
Dim DatatableTwo As New Datatable
Dim MyClass As New MyClass
I then call the function that returns a datatable and apply it to datatable1 and 2 Then fill two DataGrids with the table:
DatatableOne = MyClass.GetTable()
DatatableTwo = MyClass.GetTable()
DatatableOne.DefaultView.RowFilter = "Name = 'Tom'"
[CODE]...
For some reason i don't understand but both grids end up with the filtered data?

Flattening An Object Hierarchy Using A Shim Class - Initializing Derived Object Properties From The Base Object?
Jul 10, 2010I am somewhat new to object oriented programming and am attempting to flatten a Linq object hierarchy by using a shim class.how to initalize a derived class with property values from a base class?I have two objects, a base object with about 100 properties, and a derived object which inherits from the base object and adds a few additional properties beyond those of the base object. My simple constructor creates the derived object, but I am looking for a way to initialize the derived object properties with values from the base object.Right now I am using reflection to iterate over the properties individually and I suspect there may be a better way. The following example shows my shim class constructor for the derived class, and two properties:
newProperty1 - a new string property of the derived class
flattenedProperty2 - a new string property of the derived class, copied from a 2nd-level object of the base class
Code example:
Public Class derivedObj
Inherits baseObj
Private _newProperty1 As String[code].......
Is this the correct constructor approach to flatten the object hierarchy using a shim class? My second question relates to initialization of properties in the derived class. The constructor above creates the derived object, but what is the best way to initialize the derived object properties with values from the base object? The following code uses reflection to iterate over the properties individually, but I suspect there may be a better way.
Code example:
' property names are in the string array fieldNames
'baseObjQuery is an ienumerable of baseObj
'derivedObjList is a list of derivedObj[code].....
Is there a simple way to initialize values for the properties in the derived object based upon the values of the common properties in the base object?
C# - DataTable Vs Collection In .Net
Apr 22, 2010I am writing a program that needs to read a set of records that describe the register map of a device I need to communicate with. Each record will have a handfull of fields that describe the properties of each register. I don't really need to edit or modify the data in my VB or C# program, though I would like to be able to display the data on a grid. I would like to store the data in a CSV file, or perhaps an XML file. I need to enable users to edit the data off-line, preferably in excel.
I am considering using a DataTable or a Collection of "Register" objects (which I would define). I prototyped a DataTable, and found I can read/write XML easily using the built in methods and I can easily bind to a DataGridView. I was not able to find a way to retreive info on a single register without using a query that returns a collection of rows, even though I defined a unique primaty key column. The syntax to get a value from a column is also complex, though I could be missing something on both counts.

Base Class Collection With Sub Class Objects
Jul 19, 2010[code]The reason that this is a problem is that this is a collection of EventBase objects, but I'm trying to populate it with child classes instead. For example, I might have a JumpEvent class that inherits EventBase, and this is being put into the EventBaseCollection. That means that value.GetType() returns the type of JumpEvent, which as you might guess does not equal the type of EventBase.The goal of course is to simply loop through all of the various events without having to know anything about the sub-classes. Is there a way to determine the type of the base class so that the OnValidate call will work? Or is this just the wrong way to go about it altogether?

View 3 RepliesIn C#, Why Does A Datatable Not Know The Type Collection Of Rows
Jul 8, 2010I have recently started .NET programming, and looked at both VB.NET and C#. In VB.NET, a strongly typed Datatable cosisted of a collection of strongly types rows. Therefore, for example, this statement would work:
lCustomerTable As CustomerDataSet.CustomerTable
lCustomerRow as CustomerDataSet.CustomerTable.CustomerRow
lCustomerTable = TableAdapter.GetData
lCustomerRow = lCustomerTable.Rows(0)
However in C#, it seems i have to explicitly cast the returned Row to a CustomerRow:
lCustomerRow = (CustomerDataSet.CustomerTable.CustomerRow)lCustomerTable.Rows[0]
Should the dataset not create the object type definitions when creating the table adapters and SQL dataTables?

Possible To Fill A Collection-Type Instead Of A DataTable/DataSet?
Aug 4, 2010this is more a theoretical question i asked myself.I remembered that BinarySearch of an ordered List(Collection in general) is faster than finding Rows with Datatable.Rows.Find or DataTable.FindByPK with a primary key value.Hence i fill a Datatable from Database in a shared constructor and immediately after that a List(of Int32) that contains all primary keys from that table. Later i will check with BinarySearch if the List contains primary-key values. But because the datatable contains only the PK-Column anyway, i asked myself if there is a way to avoid the huge overhead of filling a Datatable and after that adding all Rows to a List. Is it possible to fill a generic List(or other collection-type) instead of a Datatable/Dataset directly from a Dataadapter?Maybe i'm off the track and there is another way to avoid the Extra-Loop that i'm missing.
The code of filling the DataTable in a strong typed Dataset and the List:

VS 2010 : Query A DataTable To Get A Collection Of Rows?
Jul 12, 2011I'm trying to query a DataTable to get a collection of rows but I'm finding that my search string has to be the exact length of the columns width. So, for example this won't work:
Dim rows As DataRow() = (From r In myTable.AsEnumerable() Where r.Field(Of String)("fname") = "Bob").ToArray()
...but this will:
Dim rows As DataRow() = (From r In myTable.AsEnumerable() Where r.Field(Of String)("fname") = "Bob ").ToArray()
The search term ("Bob") has to be padded with spaces to make it equal in length to the column width (10 characters). Is this how it's supposed to work or am I doing something wrong?Also, how can I do a LIKE search? So for example, I want to search for all names that start with "Bo" or whatever. ie. "Bo*".
Dynamic List From DataTable.Select Rows Collection?

The line between "For Each r" and "Next" generates a "Number of indices is less than the number of dimensions of the indexed array". The number of items is variable in the array so I can't predefined it. I know I'm going down the wrong path.
