VS 2008 Call Dispose On Brushes?
Sep 16, 2009
In 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]

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?

Should I call .Dispose() after returning an object that implements IDisposable? [code]In other words, is the object I return a copy, or is it the object itself?

say 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?

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 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.

For some reason I could never get over the look of my application, and the Microsoft controls together. Just never looked right. Nor were the controls exactly what I needed. By creating controls I can pretty much custom fit them for my application, and I love it.My question is with drawing these controls. I have 12 of them now in my current project, so I would like to make them all as efficient as possible. The biggest set back to most of them is the drawing can be a little extensive, or at least to a point where they could be more efficient. At the moment, under each paint event I have the brushes created by using blocks and then the drawing happens within them(I create all brushes first, then do the drawing, vice versa with disposing them). My question however came up when I was creating my most recent control, a SimpleList.
I experimented to see(though I'm not sure how exactly to track performance) but instead of recreating the brushes and pens etc in the paint event, I put them at the top so they're only made once, and destroyed once, rather being made and destroyed every time my control paints. My common sense tells me this is a better way of going about this but my experience can't back that up. is this the way I should be going about user drawn controls?, is there any limitations to this?(like would it be okay if I only had a limited number of brushes etc) and is the performance even that greatly impacted by making these changes that it's worth my while?

I want to create a list of BrushInfo which has properties of a brush name and its type from System.Drawing.Brushes.[code]The code above will get me the name of the brush (p.Name) but will not get me the type of the brush (i.e. System.Drawing.Brushes.AliceBlue). How do I get the brush type?

In My application, I have an MDI form. From MDI form I open all forms as child forms. I have implemented IDisposable for all large objects like file stream DB connection etc. In the Form_Disposed event I dispose all unmanaged objects. After the child form is closed, all unmanaged objects are disposed but managed objects (controls and form) are not disposed and still in memory. I find it from .Net Memory Profiler ([URL]).
So I have write code to remove all event handlers of all controls and form. Now, When form closed, dispose is called and all event handlers and controls are disposed, but controls and form are still in memory.

In VB.NET when I am closing a form and no longer need to use it, do I do a me.Close() and me.Dispose()? Does the dispose erase the form from memory?

I want to understand a situation; it's related to datatable clear().I have a code that populate a typed datatable from Excel in a separate thread using a backgroundworker. This works well, the table is filled and I can see the data. Now, I want to clear the data from table and restart the import. The operation is ten times slower than the first time. My datatable variable is declared like this:Private dt as new DataTable - not a local variableI want that all subs from class to be able to use the table, that's the reason I declared the table as private. What I want is to be able to create a new instance of dt (or clear allocated memory) - maybe this is the reason for slowdown.

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.

I was wondering if you should dispose undisposed resources before closing your application. Maybe it's not necessary to do this because closing your application automatically takes care of this.

I have prided myself in having a pretty clean code however in the game I am making I have a player view (showscreen) and a host view, which is a copy of the player view (on a smaller screen). This way the host can see what's going on.The problem is that the graphic doesn't dispose properly and Garbage Collector gets it, though I have noticed it will crash if GC doesn't get it in time. The larger the showscreen window the more junk gets put into memory, which sucks.I thought I had everything correctly disposed below but still doesn't get the job done.

I connected to the Informix server using RazorSQL, created a stored procedure and tested it, getting the expected answer, so the procedure exists in the database in some form.
I then run the following code:
If ConnectToInformix() Then
Dim cmd As New IfxCommand("dc_routeHasOutstandingQuantity", conn)
cmd.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure
[Code]....
This error does not occur when calling the stored procedure from a live SQL connection.

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 want to create an ExpressionTree where a Func(of Vector, Vector, Vector, Vector, Double, Double, Vektor) should be called. So I use
Expression.Call(Forces(0).Function.Method, {Vec1, Vec2, Vec3, Vec4, Double1, Double2})(Vec1-4, Double1-2 are declared as ParameterExpression and Forces(0).Function as Func(of Vector, Vector, Vector, Vector, Double, Double, Vector). But I get an AgrumentException, because Forces(0).Function.Method has seven Arguments. (System.Runtime.CompilerServices.Closure as seventh argument at Index 0).

I have created a small exe that receives some arguments, then creates and start a process (runs ghostscript) to create a png image of a pdf.The whole system works fine except when the exe is called more than once at the same time. My understanding is that i thought it would create a new instance each time it is called, but this doesnt seem to be happening.Is there a way i can 'queue' the requestes to exe so that the previous request completes then the next one begins and so on.[code]

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?
