I need some guidance on a little program I'm making (one that I thought would take a couple of hours from start to finish, it's been days now ...) that determines all of the proper divisors of any given number up to the maximum value of a UInt32.

So big that long or decimal even cant hold. But C# handles the problem even the value of the variables exceeds its limits.The computation gives thr right result.(I dont know how it does it)

I am facing an amazing problem in my application. On my Developement server when I am running my application, then there is one function where I am trying to put whole stringbuilder contents in a string object. This Function is used for paging the reports.For that I am using a method of Stringbuilder.tostring() and when I chek the value of this statement (stringbuilder.tostring()) it shows no such interface is supported, which later on throws exception of system is out of memory. Here i am using .net 2.0 framework and sql server 2005 database.But when I run the application on stagging server then there is no such exception thrown.[code]

I've been trying to get this method to run parallel so it can take full advantage of all processors, and it seems like the data is running over itself. I didn't originally write it, so I'm having a hard time figuring out where it's running over itself when it runs parallel. It gets good data when it runs in a regular For loop.
Parallel.For(1, endm, Sub(m)

View 1 RepliesI have a problem with a memory leak in a very large ASP.NET application. After about 24 hours of usage (sometimes a lot more) an OutOfMemory exception is thrown. Therefore I am trying to understand how managed memory works in .NET. When does an ASP.NET application throw an OutOfMemory exception? The server has a lot of RAM and there is always plenty of memory left when an OutOfMemory exception is thrown. I understand the difference between virtual memory and physical memory. How much memory does the W3WP process have to consume before an OutOfMemory exception is thrown? Is there a setting somewhere e.g. in the Machine.Config file? The ASP.NET process is never recycled.

View 1 RepliesI'm loading an image, then getting size and such info from it, and loading the image into a picture box. Now it works and all, but I noticed it uses a large amount of memory. I'm doing: img = Image.FromFile(file)Where I load the image, 'file' being just a string containing path to an image on the hd. After that, I get the size and frame count (if any), and load it into a picture box: The image I've been testing with, is a 6600x5100 3.5MB JPEG, which can be downloaded from url...Watching task manager, when the app loads the image, it takes up about 104MB of memory. I've tried doing img.Dispose after the above line, but it brings up an error. If I put a button on the form with img.Dispose in it, and click it after app has loaded, it drops down to about 6MB of memory used. Loading the image directly into the picture box using .Load or .LoadAsync, after disposing img beforehand, still ends up with a huge amount of memory used.
So I'm wondering if theres a way to check if the picture box has fully loaded the img, so then I can Dispose the img and free up the memory. Or maybe a better way all together of loading an image into a picture box, and/or getting size & frame count, without having to use up that amount of memory before freeing.
So, I have this code that grabs a bunch of data from the database, and performs a bunch of calculations on that data. However, this is not what is causing the halt. The halt is coming in when I take all that "final" data that has been prepared, and go to write that into a text file.
Each line in the text file is being created from data that has had calculations performed on it. Each line "corresponds" to a record from the database. A user will have to perform this file export usually on about 30-40 thousand records at a time. Now, even though I am using a StringBuilder, this still halts because of the pure mass amount of records.
What I do currently in the code is create one StringBuilder, append all the data (after calcs) to it, convert it to a String, add it to a List(Of String) to be returned from the Function, and then clear the StringBuilder, and do the same for the next row, and I do this until each row has been created and appended, converted, and then inserted into the List.
Then, another class receives this List(Of String) and takes each String and eventually appends it to a file.
Does anyone have an idea of how to improve this code and make it so it doesn't halt the server every time? The reason it wasn't found out until now is because when I tested it locally I was testing it on only 1-50 records at a time.

I recently wrote a program that collects information from the network can displays it in a DGV for the user to see. I tested this on networks where I would end up with several thousand items brought back and all worked fine, very little memory increase and once the search had finished the memory usage went back to pretty much what it was before the search, so I assume I have no major memory leaks that I should be concerned about (I'm careful to always dispose of things and clear large variables where possible).
However, a new company has now started using my application and they have several hundred thousand items that my program will find. They reported that they leave the program running its search for a few hours and most of the time it crashes with an Out Of Memory exception. Now I did have my app do some caching of certain information to avoid querying the network more than was necessary so I thought well maybe this is what is causing it but I added an option to turn that off and they say it still happens. So the only thing I can see it being is simply the amount of data that the program is finding and having to store in memory.once my application has gathered information about the items it stores them in a List(Of MyItemClass) and then when the search is complete the items are added to the DGV. So I'm thinking maybe its just the size of this List(Of MyItemClass) that is simply getting too large. Bear in mind that each instance of MyItemClass in this List can have quite a lot of information in it as it has several properties that are List(Of String) that may contain a few thousand strings in some scenarios.How do you deal with such large amounts of data without running out of memory?I'm assuming the only option I have got is to 'page' some of the data to a temporary file on disk once I get over a certain number of items in the List(Of MyItemClass)?
I have a user interface app that allows you to drag/drop in files - and it turns them into HttpListener request POST's to another EXECUTABLE that I have running - let's call it BACKEND1. BACKEND1 will be running on a SERVER when this gets ready for production use. Lots and lots of users running the UI - all dragging in files - all getting POST'ed to BACKEND1 - with the file included as a memory stream in the POST. BACKEND1 responds to the UI with a "sequential" file number assigned to the file centrally on the server.
On the SERVER is also running another EXECUTABLE - let's call it BACKEND2. It's job is to work with the DRAG'd in files. Both BACKEND1 and BACKEND2 sit on the same SERVER. At the moment I am writing the memory stream to DISK in BACKEND1 - and POSTing the FILENAME to BACKEND2 for it to work on. Would it be better to not write the file in BACKEND1 but instead include it in the POST to BACKEND2 - where it can be written to DISK? Is having LARGE HTTP REQUEST's a burden when sent between two EXECUTABLES on the same machine?
My primary goal is to have a really available BACKEND1 talking the the UI instances running out in the world. I'm concerned that doing the file i/o in BACKEND1 is "expensive" - and I don't care about the performance of BACKEND2 as much. just looking for opinions. I guess ultimately I'll have to bench mark this myself in a production environment to get a real answer.

I seem to be having some issues with my code here. The sub "CheckSettings" is actually run off of a system timer, so that every 5 seconds it calls CheckSettings (actually, i set it to every 1 second for debugging, so i can see the leak a little more clearly by monitoring the process). CheckSettings basically checks to ensure there isn't already an instance of the thread running, and if there is, it checks to ensure that the instance has completed running ... once it has the go ahead, it creates a new thread and runs again.

This code is creating a very large memory leak. After a few minutes of running, my application goes from a memory footprint of about 45,000 K to about 1,000,000 K. Quite the leak. I read some articles on the managed versus unmanaged memory etc, and I was careful to free the objects etc.

However recently I am finding if I stop the service then while windows says the service is stopped the process is still running in task manager. However it is at 0 cpu and the memory does not change. If I try and end the task (even a force in command prompt) it just says access denied and i have to reboot the server. What would be the best way to make sure everything terminates? I thought of adding a global Boolean that in the stop procedure it turns true and part of my parallel code will check for that and call s.stop.

I am pretty new to Visual Basic and am only using it to create a very simple programme. It is essentially an interactive encyclopedia where the user can type in a subject into a text box and get a form with information on it to pop up. I am not using any data sets etc. While the forms are all very simple and the code very limited there are dozens of forms involved, this was working fine until recently when I started to run into OutOfMemoryExceptionThrown every time I try to build my program and debug it. This exception started appearing sporadically with the programme sometimes compliling fine and other times refusing to but now it is every time. I have never written code to do this before so how do I got about freeing up memory? I read in a similar post that it may be connected to allocating memory and then not freeing it up again, or perhaps having too many event handlers in my program without ending them, however I am lost and don't know how to fix these problems.
