I have 2 question, hope somebody give me an explanation: 1. Should a local variable call dispose method and set to nothing? 2. If some method have an arguments which it is a ByVal argument, it means a method create a new object? But If it is a ByRef argument, it means a method don't create a new object?

I using VB.NET (VS 2008). I want to know if I can call a sub whereby the name of sub is in a varialbe.
For example :

I know it does not work that way but how can I call a function or sub using a variable and not directly.

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?
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?
View 1 RepliesI 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.

View 11 RepliesIn my Zeal to get with the "Dispose" program, I implement a dispose pattern (still learning the ways and means of THAT) wherever it seems to make sense.I THINK I have the basic idea. However, I notice that, while Drawing.Brushes HAVE a Dispose method, when I call it, some sort of instability is created in Visual Studio itself, and i get the dreaded "Visual Studio has encountered an error and needs to close" splash screen, with no useable error information. SHould I assume that one should just NOT call dispose on Brush objects, or is there something I am missing here: [code]

View 13 Repliessay you have a sub containing an io.streamwriter. That streamwriter is declared and used only inside that sub (and not as static). Should you still call dispose on that streamwriter or is it disposed automatically as it is no longer in use after that sub, until you call that sub again?
View 2 RepliesI am having trouble understanding the proper implementation of Dispose. While I totally understand the IDEA behind it (Ensuring that variable references to objects are released and free to be GC'd), I am not sure I am doing this properly.I try to call dispose on all items delcalred and used within a procedural scope when I am done with them (or even better, employ a Using block).When I declare Class-level items, I assume I should call dispose on them prior to destroying the class (During the "Disposed" event, right? which will occur when "Dispose" is called on my class?).As Declared in Class-level Declarations:
Public Class MyDisposableClass
Implements IDisposable
Protected mImgExpand As Image = My.Resources.ListCollapsePNG9x9_DK[code]........
When THIS class is instantiated within another class (Say, a form),I call "Dispose" on THie instance of this class during the form's "Close" Event. Everything seems to work fine. However,when I step through the code, things seem to go in a circle. We go from the close event, which calls dispose on the class instance, to the class instance dispose event, then back to the parent class disposed event, etc.
Is there any sense to set custom object to null(Nothing in VB.NET) in the Dispose() method?Could this prevent memory leaks or it's useless?!Let's consider two examples:

public Foo(Bar bar) {

View 3 RepliesFrom my understanding, .Net will pool SqlConnection objects where the Connection String is the same by default. Will the connection still be pooled if I call the Dispose method? This question is asked under the context of an ASP .Net application that at times makes many hits to the database in a single PageLoad event. I want the connections to be pooled, but would like confirmation that Closing and Disposing of the connection once the data operation is complete does not interfere with .Net's handling of the connection pool.

I have nine pictures that I need to animate -I need to use the ToString method and a counter to concatenate a file name into a string variable from the Image.FromFile method. Once the counter reaches its maximum value, and the last picture is displayed, the counter should be reset to zero or one depending on how the first image file has been name. Also a static counter variable should be incremented in the time routine. what I have so far -- I know what I have to do; however, I just do not know how to code this properly.. Right now I have this going thru a button procedure but it needs to go through a timer.

View 3 RepliesI stumbled upon something i don't quite see the logic of. Let's ork with following piece of code:
For Each ds As DerivedScale In List
If ds.ScaleID = scaleId Then
ds.ScaleID = ds.ScaleID + scaleStep
[Code].....
This piece is written for 2 records to change place and change the sequence number (scaleid). The arrow indicates where the issue occurs. The item "ds" is replaced by the object 1 indexnumber higher/lower. This does however not effect that object in the List. So when i check, item ds isn't set.
However, when i look at ds.ScaleId = ds.ScaleID + scaleStep, this is reflected in the List.
So what I am wondering is: is "ds" acting like a local variable here, and can i only make changes to it's properties?
I'm writing a subneting calculator in VB.NET.I'm using the IDE SharpDevelop.Well my problem is I'm using a function to do some calculations and then to figure out the class of the IP addresses.Well I pass a variable from the subroutine, that is accessed when a button is clicked, to the function then the variable is passed back to the subroutine and then the variable is passed again to another function but when it reaches this second function it doesn't retain the value it was given in the first function.I'm not sure if I'm just passing the variable wrong or if this is how it works.I know I can make this work probably by using global variables but I'm not sure if this is proper. So my ultimate question is what is the difference between local and global variables besides just scope and should I try and use one more than the other.
View 4 RepliesI sort of understand why this is happening, but not entirely. I have a base class with a Shared (Static) variable, declared like so:
Public Shared myVar As New MyObject(arg1, arg2)
In a method of a derived class, I set a local variable like so:
Dim myLocalVar As MyObject = myVar
Now when I do something like myLocalVar.Property1 += value, the value in Property1 persists to the next call of that method! I suppose I get why it would be happening; myVar is being set by reference instead of by value, but I've never encountered anything like this before. Is there any way (other than my workaround which is to just create a new object using the property values of myVar) to create myLocalVar by value?
Does anyone know why a local variable cannot be declared WithEvents?T

View 2 RepliesI am trying to use the value of one variable to call another variable of the same name.I have 2 variable one called VAR1 and VAR2.
The variable VAR1 has a value of "VAR2"
The variable VAR2 has a value of "HELP"
I want to be able to get the value VAR2 from the variable VAR1 I have defined the value of VAR2 early in the code and now I want to call that value by using the value of VAR1.The reason I am doing it this way as I have a list of 50 variables that are pulled from one system. Each of these variables have the same name as the columns of a spreadsheet. The total number of Variable stay the same but the total column headers may vary each time. I need to loop through each of the column headers match them with the variable names and add the data to the spreadsheet.
VAR1 = "VAR2"
VAR2 = "HELP"
i =1
[code]....
This is the tricky bit...if the value of the cell(1,i) = "VAR2" How do I get it to display the value of the variable of the same name In this case how will I get it to display "HELP" when I only have from the VAR1 value "VAR2" I know my code will bring back the value as a string but I want it to bring back that string as a variable and display the value of that variable?
