I attempting to dispose / close a startup form from a sub. Basically, I using the filesystemwatcher to watch for file creation, if the file is created, run some code and close the form.how to pass in some reference form. Using and new to vs2008. A bit of leap from VB 6.0.
Imports System.IO
Public watchfolder As System.IO.FileSystemWatcher
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
I am using VB.NET (Visual Studio 2008) and thus .Net framework 3.5. I have developed an application which has a MDI form and then has several other forms, most of which are shown using form.showdialog and some set of forms are shown using form.show.Whenenver a form (shown using form.showdialog) was closed (usually by clicking on a button (OK or Cancel)) I wrote code Me.dispose. After careful testing and R&D I figured this caused flickering on the screen. There use to be a flicker on the screen and it looked weird.In some rare circumstances if I clicked on button and form closed using me.dispose the focus of application was lost and some other program that was running came on focus. (This has happened but was rare.)Now the reason I used disposed was that after a form was shown using .showdialog I didnt want its contents to be in memory so I used the .dispose thing. But I noticed that If I use form.close then there is no flicker and form closes fine. But I think that would not dispose the form from the memory.
What should I do so that form closes and is disposes as well without any flicker.?I read on net that for forms shown using .show it gets disposed off automatically the moment it is closed (by using me.close) or user clicking on cross. Is this true? I also think that If I call a form using showdialog then I can write formx.dispose from where I am calling and not in the form itself.
I have a MainForm which has tab Control and several independent form. I open each Individual From in the tab of the main form. A "Close Tab" button on the MainFrom closes the current tab, its implementation is below.
This closes the current tab but what I also need is to dispose the From whose tab is closed but I am not sure how to get the instance of the form.'[code]...

I am using Vb 2008 Express Edition. I have only 1 form with 10+ arrays. My app runs a few calculations and finally plots 2 graphs. The first time I run my program, everything works fine. But when I run my app with a new set of data it gives me the wrong results. Is there a way I can force my form to reload itself and act as if its running for the first time? I know I can do an Application.restart. But I don't want to restart my app every time. Me.Refresh() doesn't work, as my form still seems to remember my old data set (array)
I'm trying to fix all my project warning according to Microsoft code analysis (CA:XXXXX) One of the warning is "CA2000: Dispose objects before losing scope" My Code is:
Is there a way to have a form within a program that doesn't dispose when you close it? I have a form in my project and a menu item to show it. When I declare the form globally and show in menuItem.click, then the click event breaks because the form no longer exists. When I declare the form within menuItem.click, then this creates a new form every time I click and that's not what I want.
I have a user control that inherits the FW ListView and I need to dispose of two objects when the form's disposing of it's objects. Here's what I've concluded already, am I on the right track?
I have a program, and there is a timer to run it every 15 minutes. Every time it run, it will create a new exe / thread, (I monitor this thru an external software called TCPView). With the thread growing, it may slow down the performance, is there a way to dispose the thread before a new one is created?

I am having fun working with System.Threading.Tasks. Many of the code samples I see, however, look something like so:
Dim lcTask = Task.Factory.StartNew(Sub() DoSomeWork()) Dim lcTaskLong = Task.Factory.StartNew(Sub() DoSomeWork(), TaskCreationOptions.LongRunning) Task.WaitAll(lcTask, lcTaskLong)
That's the extent of the sample.Tasks implement IDisposable, so obviously I'm supposed to dispose of them, but what if I just want to "Fire and Forget"?If I don't dispose, will I leak threads/handles/memory/karma?Am I using tasks "wrong"? (Should just use a delegate and leave tasks alone?)
Can I dispose in a "ContinueWith()"? (That seems like playing Russian Roulette.)[URL]..
When is it appropriate to apply the dispose method to controls?For example in a form that has five group boxes, once the first group box is used to gather user entries and is no longer needed, is it worth it to apply the dispose method to the first group box? Is it needed for local variables, for example a StringBuilder used within a private function which is only used while the function is executing?
Hello, I have a WPF Window that I show with Window.Show(). When I click X the form closes. But it is still in memory and the GC never comes and cleans it up. Also I do not have any refrences/handles to it.
I am using the following code with the window:
Code: Public Class PageWindow Implements System.IDisposable Public UserPressedExit As Boolean
I was experimenting with ways to get rid of some memory leaks within my application the other day when I realized that I know virtually nothing about cleaning up my resources. I did some research, and hoped that just calling the .dispose() would solve all of my problems. We have a table in our database that contains about 65,000 records. Obviously when I fill my dataset from the dataadapter, the memory usage can get pretty high. When I called the dispose method on the dataset, I was surprised to find out that NONE of the memory got released.
Out of pure curiosity, is there a way to free the memory used by a StringBuilder, other than the obvious MyBuilder = New StringBuilder and MyBuilder.Remove(0, Length) (although I guess the later wouldn't free anything, would it?)
hi everyone i created a thumbnail dll for my file type my class dll create thumb for my files type but my class no dispose after create thumbnail this is my project : HPTShellExtThumbnailHandler.rar
On the back of a Windows Form, I get a window DC, create a Graphics object with Graphics.FromHdc, and then dispose the Graphics object before releasing the DC.
Private Declare Function GetWindowDC Lib "user32.dll" (ByVal hwnd As IntPtr) As IntPtr Private Declare Function ReleaseDC Lib "user32.dll" (ByVal hwnd As IntPtr, ByVal hdc As IntPtr) As Integer Dim hdc As IntPtr = GetWindowDC(Me.Handle)
[code]....
Why did they do it this way?Should the DC be released before or after Graphics.Dispose?It is possible that the wrong order can cause resource leaks or memory corruption?
When you set a region equal to another, or set it equal to a new instance, do you have to call dispose on the region, or does VB do that? (I guess this isn't necessarily specific to regions)
ex:
'at some point in the code a region is created Dim Rgn as New Region(SomeRect) '....
[Code].....
If Rgn now points to the Rgns(0) clone, what happens to the original memory created by "New Region(SomeRect)"? Do I need to call dispose on Rgn before assigning it to the the Rgns(0) clone?
how do you correctly dispose a shape in vb.net ie when you draw a rectangle using the pen function how do I depose it so that it will disappear from the form, for some reason once its drawn if I draw a new shape it keeps the previous one and just overlays the new one and I use shape.dispose, and pen.dispose?
whats the difference of Me.Close and Me.Dispose...What code does releases memory resources that was used by ".show" command?Im currently creating a program and i just used both of them... is that ok?if it is ok... i know some commands have issues on what should i type first.. so what will i type first?
I Want to know garbage collector works in .net there is something heap and stack funda.so can u please tell me from where i get reference of whole funda of that.and i have another question is that Please see below the code.here i declare one dt and get some data in it.and i don't want that dt after data come in text boxes.so in finally method i do dispose using dt.dispoe().
but after that i write little code to check whether the dt correctly dispose or not.so i check with if condition after disposing.you can check code given below for that condition.as per condition it gives me "Nikunj" Ouput in message box it meanse dt is not disposed after calling the dispose method.so can u please tell me why?And i Want to know about all resources which i used i want to know how can i free it.whether it is variable,object,datatable,datareader etc..... if it is any where with example then please give me link.and if it's from msdn then it's better. i want to know from Microsoft that
I have Overloaded the Dispose method of System.Windows.Forms.Form Class in which I have written some extra code which I need to execute when object of Form Disposes. But when I create the object of Form in 'Using' statement, the 'End Using, statement do not execute my overloaded Dispose method. What should I do?
