VS 2008 To Check If New Memory Pages Are Created In A Process?
Mar 15, 2012Is there a way in vb.net to check whether new memory pages have been created inside a process(such as winlogon, svchost etc)
For eg : if i there is a certain value that may change if new memory pages are created inside the process. Then i can compare the previous value and the new value (after pages have been created) and make it sure that new pages have been created inside that process.
2008 Express Edition: Attempted To Read Or Write Protected Memory, This Is Often An Indication That Other Memory Is Corrupt?
May 27, 2009I 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

Check Remaining Memory Left?
Mar 28, 2011My project uses a lot of System.Drawing.Image commands and sometimes it gives me the out of memory error. I was wondering if there's a way to check remaining memory left and to halt a process if there isn't enough? Or if there is a more practical solution?

View 10 RepliesAttempted To Read Or Write Protected Memory / Often An Indication That Other Memory Is Corrupt
May 22, 2007Im 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?

View 1 RepliesThread And Memory Leaks - Memory Usage Jumps About 1000k And It Never Goes Back Down
Apr 17, 2011I'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.

View 2 RepliesVS 2008 - GC.Collect: Memory Vs Performance?
Jan 29, 2011I have an application (i've been working on for a long time) that has many tabs and controls and quite a few components And a good deal of design code. And a list box that has around 100k items (i had to put a loader to pass the 3-4 seconds while its loading to prevent it from not-responding)I had a few Gc.collect calls in specific places (mostly after many items are added or removed). When my application loads, i call GC.collect only once at the end of the load. The program consumes around 35K memory by the time its loaded. However, i decided to mess around abit (don't worry i made backups)First i started putting gc.collect in some random places, and to my surprise the memory upon loading was observably decreasing. Then I went ahead and put a macro that puts GC.Collect before every End Sub, Exit Function, Exit Sub, and Return value, there is. Basically every block in my application had atleat one GC.Collect.
I fixed some 6 or 7 silly replace errors and compiled. When the program launched, the memory used at the end of launch was 21K!
At first glance that seemed great, but then i realized switching between tabs was VERY glitchy. and adding new lists took around 10x more time than usual (the loader stayed on for around 20 seconds!) And even though the memory looked good, the program was useless like this.Then i decided to mess around differently. I removed GC.Collect from the entire solution. It was no longer called even once.At first glance, when i launched the app it consumed just under 60K memory. That seemed terrible. However i realized something: even though my program in that state showed on taskmanager that it was consuming alot more memory than usual, it seemed like it was lighter than ever! Switching tabs was faster than before, especially every time i go to the tab that has the listbox control with 100k items. Loading items took around 3-4 seconds, but there was no stutter when the list finished loading whereas before it had an evident 0.3s stutter after the items were added.
This was all surprising to me because i thought GC.Collect was first of all, something that it doesnt matter where or how many times you call it. I thought it was just something that should be called at the end of work and i didnt think it would matter if it was called during work.Second of all, i thought GC.Collect only affected resources that are inaccessible, or resources my program is done with. How come the application feels faster when i don't call it?Third of all, i thought the VB CLR does most of the memory cleaning for me, and that GC.Collect was somewhat of a redundant command. It didn't seem so redundant to me at all considering the difference between using it heavily and not using it at all was around 38K in memory usage!
So i guess my questions are:
1) Do I need to call GC.Collect? WhereWhen do i call it?2) Why does calling it affect performance? And where does one draw the line between that memory stat on taskmanager and the program's performance?3) I also decided to run a small test. Why does a blank vb form application require 10K memory? How accurate is that stat shown on the task manager?
VS 2008 Back Up What Is Stored In Memory
Sep 21, 2009I'm writing a application that has to check live what's going on somewhere. The data is stored in a integer array.But this data comes from a PLC over a COM port. So imagine if someone pulled out the cable while my application is running. I have to find a way that the integer array will be stored somewhere when my application crashes. I thought maybe I could do something with a text file? But how do I get my application to store the data when it crashes? Do I have to surround my whole code with a try catch and then in the catch save everything to a text file? Well I like to know if some of you have better ideas or can point me in the right direction.

View 2 RepliesVS 2008 Finding A Memory Leak?
Jan 1, 2010I'm trying to work out a bit of a memory leak and was hoping someone can assist. The below program is running fine except for one thing. 1. The memory leak. When I run the program and watch task manager, I can see the memory usage of the program starts at roughly 14 meg. Over a period of hours, that increases pretty substantially. Eg. at 6am this morning, it was at 14 meg, and by 3pm it was at 36 meg.In a nutshell this program takes an incoming stream of data which looks like this.
MSG,3,51,350,461D3B,1427,2007/02/24,10:58:35.441,2007/02/24,11:03:35.829,,33975,,,53.82440,10.19830,,,0,0,0,0
MSG,3,51,673,44CE6D,1429,2007/02/24,10:58:35.098,2007/02/24,11:03:35.829,,39000,,,53.87798,9.88422,,,0,0,0,0
MSG,3,51,350,461D3B,1427,2007/02/24,10:58:35.848,2007/02/24,11:03:36.829,,33975,,,53.82353,10.19696,,,0,0,0,0
It basically parses the stream and places items into hash tables depending on the type of data. Eg. I have a hash table for latitude, one for longitude, one for altitude, etc.The key is always the hex code eg. in the first line above the key would be 461D3B.Essentially, as the data arrives in and is parsed and placed into hash tables depending on the type of data, I also have another hash table dedicated to keeping track of timeout times for that individual piece of data. The timer event fires and if the timeout is exceeded for that piece of data then it gets removed from all the hash tables.
I believe this is working. I've done heaps of debug output to the output window ensuring that items are being added to and removed from the hash tables successfully. Eg. ensuring that the hash table record count matches what I believe the number of active records should be.I'm at a loss what could be causing this memory leak though. I'm assuming i'm not disposing of an object properly, or not initializing/declaring it properly, but I can't work out what i'm doing wrong.One thing i'll mention though. The timer event occasionally comes up with a warning about the contents having changed during the For..Next loop. I don't think this will affect things though. As long as the hash table item count matches what it should be, I don't see that being an issue.
