Dispose Of An Image For A Picture Box & Exifworks Class Does Not Release Image File For Deleting?
Jun 14, 2009
I have an app that loads a jpg into a picyure box, then updates exif data in exifworks classThe problem is that when I save the image(from image used for picture box) or class (to save exif data) then try to delete, sometimes I get success, others it won't allow delet I have gone to the trouble of using gc.collect, do events, put the delete in a timer & wait for the delete before continuing & still get the problem
I am looking for a code snippet which opens a image, creates a clone of this bitmap in memory disposes this opened image so that all handles are closed.
Usually we can open a bitmap using this[code...]
the following code however keeps the Image File locked until the application is running, any suggestions how to dispose it properly. (So that no handle is left open )
Things i already tried: use dispose method of bitmap <= doesnt work (need to write implementation) Using Block also doesnt work.
i'm lost on this code.. i have a picturebox that swaps 2 images, depending on the action, file_red and file_green.. what i'm trying to to is, if a picturebox switches a image or not, to be able to detect that and have textbox8 add a line with the detection.
I made a picture box and imported an image named Title.jpg. Later I made adjustments to the picture and imported it again without deleting the original(mistake). The new one had the name automatically changed to Title1.jpg. So I deleted the original image from resources and renamed Title1.jpg back to Title.jpg.
Now I got two problems. First, only Title.jpg is on the solution explorer, but Title1.jpg(along with Title.jpg) still pops up on the resource list when I click on Image property of the picture box. There's only the name and no picture, and I don't see a delete option. How do I get rid of it? Second, even though I changed the image to the new Title.jpg in the picture box, the old one is displayed when running the app. What's up with that?
I have Problem to clear the image vb.net.i have one picture box and 4 button but the problem is that if picture is save in the path folder.and load in the form load the clear button is work fine and clear the image but after that
when i browse the image and press OK picture box load the image then i press clear button
the image is not clear its automatically Stretch the Image.plz help me how can i clear thew image
Well when my form loads, it loads an image from a file into a picture box like this:
Dim bmp As New Bitmap(Image.FromFile(System.AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory() & "datapic.bmp")) PictureBox.Image = bmp
then while the program is running, the PictureBox.image is changed
then when the form closes, I try to save the picture like this:
Dim bmp As New Bitmap(PictureBox.Image) bmp.Save(System.AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory() & "datapic.bmp")
This only works if I try to save to another file other than pic.bmp. However I want to overwrite it.. but it throws an exception "A generic error has occurred in gdi+"
i am aware of the dispose method to free a resouce that is in use, but ive run into trouble and ive no idea how to dispose of an image because ive assigned it using the "new" keyword
While i < directorylist.Count Dim imagePath As String = directorylist(i) + "\folder.jpg" ' ResizeImage(directorylist(i) + "\", imageName, 50) Try
[code].....
i know that when i assign an image to a picturebox i can feel up the resource using picturebox1.dispose()here im using "new" so i dont know what to dispose of??
I am working with my web cam and it works, but one problem like all the other vb webcam programs it use a handle witch uses a creatgraphics for the object. Well I happen to be using a picturebox for my handle, and I need it so if I minimize the form, the image is still there. Is there anyway to put the image into the picture boxes image?
I am having problems disposing of a image thats stored in a 'DataGridViewImageColumn' . When i try and delete the image the 1st one works then the 2nd time its used i get a 'System.IO.IOException: The process cannot access the file 'x' because it is being used by another process'. How do i solve this problem? i am disposing of the image before i try and delete it but yet its still not working:
PS - I have searched the forums / google for a suitable answer and cant find one
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?
i have doing a project using vb.net which a function like insert,update and delete data from database including image. i have successfully insert the image what i did for that is i copy the image to a location named image in current directory of the system and save the path into the database according to the user id.now the problem is, when user need to update the details the image won't update i have an error and when user wants to delete the details, the details in the database deleted but the image not.
Codes: insert data Private Sub btnSave_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)
I created a new cursor (it works properly, I tried it in windows 7) but is not working for me in the program.I took the Windows cursor (aero_helpsel_xl, from C:WindowsCursors) and it appears to me the same error.i use with this code:
Me.Cursor = New Cursor("Patch..")
The problem say:: "{"Image format is not valid. Image file may be corrupted.
Parameter name: stream "}"
edit: I realized what the problem ... It can read only cur files with 24-bit color and lower - but it shows only two colors: black and white.

am trying to extract a preview image (jpg file) from a canon raw (cr2) photo file using the well known program exiftoolExtracting certain meta data works fine with this kind of code:

I am trying to read a 16bit binary file (tif image) and pixel values of the image ranges from 1200 to 4500. I tried to use BinaryReader using ReadUInt16 but I get EndOfStreamException Unhandled error. ReadByte method works fine with an 8bit tif file. I do not know how to read a 16bit image file using binaryReader. Shouldn't I use ReadUInt16 since values of pixels range from 1200 to 4500?
I know this is out there and probably illogical but I was wondering if it was possible to take multiple picture files and compact them into one file.... and then retrieve them from the program later? Way to combine any amount of image files into one file
Module Module1 Sub combine() Dim img1 As New Bitmap("i1.jpg")
An application that has 3 Webbrowsers instantiated at design time navigates to webbrowser2 15 times every minute with a different webpage. Webbrowser2 is disposed of after each web page is received and processed. The size of the private application memory continues to grow as when the disposal was not instigated. The application memory grows to 1GB and then the program stops responding. Any suggestions? [Code]
The coding below is to retrieve the Raw Image Data from the Database and then write as a JPG image file. The problem is the image file (image.jpg) is "nothing" after file created. I guess there is something wrong in the following coding.
fs.Write(rawData, 0, fileSize)
No any runtime errors I can find, and I double check rawData (i.e. Buffer) contains data. But don't know why there is "nothing" inside the image (image.jpg).
Private Sub Button2_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button2.Click Dim fileSize As Integer Dim rawData() As Byte
