Memory Allocation - Analyzing And Debugging
Jan 11, 2011
Any right direction for best practices of memory allocation. (i.e., disposing of forms, setting variables to nothing). I am writing a program and for now, I just monitor it in Task Manager. I notice that the size change isn't very balanced. The amount of memory used when a new form loads isn't as much as when that same form is closed. (either by button or by the 'x'). I want to get a handle on this before I get too deep in the program.

I noticed my program starts out at between 20-25 MB of RAM usage upon launch.It levels out at around 28MB once the two forms that are used are open.Sometimes it will hit 31MB. But that's usually max.It simply consists of an initial form on loadup for the Notification area Icon and then two forms that are loaded when you right or left click on the icon.One they are loaded they are either hidden or shown when you click on the icon.All-in-all, the program isn't doing much; no large calculations, no huge amounts of data being manipulated, etc.

I am using these API functions for my project where I am handling 3 unmanaged DLLs of two external apps, basically all it does is to carry data back and forth between these external applications. The project needs a lot of use of pointers, passing pointers and reading/writing to memory so both applications can talk to each other.
Declare Function HeapAlloc Lib "kernel32.dll" _
(ByVal hHeap As Long, ByVal dwFlags As Long, ByVal dwBytes As Long) As Long
Declare Function HeapCreate Lib "kernel32.dll" _

set of windows API functions for allocating memory, reading and writing to allocated memory, and other required functions to generate required arguments to pass to these API calls?I am up to where I am allocating memory and getting pointer, but I don't know how to go about reading, writing, passing pointers, finding data lengths and reusing memory.

Looking at this table describing the data types in VB.One of the columns is labeled "Nominal storage allocation". What does this mean? Why is the word "nominal" here?

I'm editing some code and moving stuff around doing a lot of cut'n'paste while writing and the intelli-sense slows to a grinding stall then eventually I get a message from my OS saying that I'm low on Virtual Memory and I haven't even run the compiler yet, still only in the IDE. ??? I 'unchecked' the 'enable Visual Studio hosting process' on the properties->Debug tab when this happened before and now I don't know what to do because VB won't run at all for more than half an hour making writing impossible...

I'm running VB2008 on Windows 7; I've written out a ver simple piece of code:
Option
Explicit
On
Module
[code]....
When I run or debug the code, it asks for the First Number and then just completes the running of the program without asking for the second number and uses some random number. The console.readline() doesn't work either, the console window just disappears.

I'm having to write a reporting application that gets information from some Interbase servers and it also has to work on Vista as well as XP, I'm using to connect Borlands Data Provider.[code]My Issue is that debugging on my xp Machine the dataset gets filled, debugging on my vista box it fails ("Interbase provider initialization failed"), my initial thought was that this could be UAC related but I've compiled the application and 'ran as admin' and still same issue. (by the way it failes on the line Dim da as BdpDataAdapter...)

i need to programm an application which reads the pixels from screen and then manage to read the word. The problem is the white text always changes colour slightly so when i use getpixel the value(as long) is always changing although it is always regonisably white.convert them into black and white or is there any range of values which describe the white color?
Note: This is not for violation of any rules especially because its a game programmed with java.

I'm struggling to solve this problem and am throwing it out to y'all...
For example, if I had a value of 6.5, (representing 6.5 feet), I'd want to separate that value into two values:
6 - 12" sections
1 - 6" section.
This initial value could be any number from 3-16, in .5 increments. (3, 3.5, 4, 4.5, 5, 5.5, etc.)

So, I've started to work on a big project that involves analysing text and changing that text into a whole new group of words that relate to it and say pretty much the same thing but through different text, I'm just looking to see if there is a thesaurus or dictionary I can access through visual basic... instead of having to right every single word in the english dictionary out.. or if there is any shorter way I could do this.

I am basically reading a text file with info like this:
"S1($=""ChW System Pressure"",V=134.00,%=""Pa""),S2($=""UPS_Batt Rm 1to4 Circ A Flow "",V=9.17,%=""DegC""),S3($=""UPS_Battery Rm Sec ChW Rtn"",V=-38.38,%=""DegC""),S4($=""Buffer Vessel BV-02 High Temp"",V=9.08,%=""DegC""),...
And I'm trying to write a program that read the data, filters the sections so that per line it does the bit before the brackets i.e. "S1" then a comma then the sections inside the brackets as comma separated values removing the double quotes and symbols I don't want etc. Basically dividing the separate S*'s onto different lines and separating the values with comma's. There are also other points which are a different letter than "'S" and the same to do with them to.

Im getting a problem with one of my programs I have made in visual basic.NET where it gives me a memory error when i debug the program in the IDE. the exact error is this: "Attempted to read or write protected memory. This is often an indication that other memory is corrupt". My program basically has a few forms with text fields on that get their text values from an access database on the same hard drive. Im wondering if im doing something wrong because my program just seems to eat up memory whenever it does anything. For example I have one form that has a combobox on it and when you change the drop down list selection it retreives a few strings from the database and puts them into the relevant text boxes, if you keep changing the selection then the memory usage (in task manager) just keeps going up and up. occasionally I get the error mentioned above when debugging but in my built version of the program it throws an exception everytime the memory usage gets past 49K.
Also I noticed when debugging in the "immediate window" frame I get the following message often:A first chance exception of type 'System. Invalid OperationException' occurred in System.Data.dll...Do I need to somehow be "releasing" the memory that is used to gather data once it becomes redundant?

I have a BackgroundWorker object that I instantiated to perform a DB process on a background thread ansynchronously. I have event handlers for DoWork and RunWorkerCompleted. I can tell that the BackgroundWorker is disposing of itself because I added a message box into the Disposed event handler.Is it necessary to detach the event handlers to ensure that the memory is cleaned up and that there are not memory leaks?

I've noticed that every time I start a new thread in my program, the memory usage jumps about 1000k and it never goes back down. I have ensured that the thread is no longer running, and only one instance of my worker thread is ever running at a time. I am using ThreadPool.QueueUserWorkItem and ASyncOperation to get stuff done. The program starts using a Sub Main in a module that uses STAThread; I read that using STAThread instead of MTAThread makes it impossible for the Garbage Collector to get in and consider objects for garbage collection. However, when I change the STAThread to an MTAThread, the WebBrowser control in my frmMain cannot be instantiated.
I get this exception:
Code: An unhandled exception of type 'System.Threading.ThreadStateException' occurred in System.Windows.Forms.dll
Additional information: ActiveX control '8856f961-340a-11d0-a96b-00c04fd705a2' cannot be instantiated because the current thread is not in a single-threaded apartment. I do threading with the WebBrowser control, so will using MTAThread fix my problem? If so, how should I partition my code so that the WebBrowser control won't be affected by the above exception? I call the thread repeatedly with a timer (although only one instance ever runs at a time), and my program's memory usage starts at about 5000k and can jump to 300,000k+ depending on many times the thread needs to be called.

I cannot use Visual Basic 2008 at all. When I go to "new project" and choose "Windows Form Application" I get this error.I have tried multiple uninstall/reinstall with no result.A microsoft reply to this suggested that I needed: " .NET Framework 2.0 Service Pack 1 " I checked, and I did not have the .netframework 2.0 service Pack 1.
When I tried to download and install the above from Microsoft.com, the istaller said that "it was not allowsed" and I was not able to install the service pack 1.
I tried Uninstalling net framework 3.5, 3.0, 2.0 and then reinstalling .netframework 2.0 sevice pack 1; then reinstalling Visual basic 2008 express edition. At the reinstall of Visual basic 2008, .netframework 2.0 sevice pack 1 is unistalled by .net framework service pack 2.When I check the foruims for simiar problems, the formus are mostly for Visual basic 5.0, or other programs that I do not have.
Here is the programs I have installed:
Operating system: Windows XP
Microsoft .net framework 1.1
Microsoft .NET framwork 1.1 Hotfix(KB928366)
Microsoft .Net Framework 2.0 Service Pack 2
[code]....
All the security updates and hotfixes for Widows XP.

I have a vb.net web application in visual web developer 2008 with a dll file and i need to debug a method in that dll. I also have project source files for the dll file itself. How could i make the web application use the source instead of the dll file so that i'd be able to debug it? I've tried debugging the dll project itself, but it's not a very good solution, because it seems the dll depends on the web application settings and data and it would simply be too much work to get it working.
