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.
View 2 RepliesI have a class bMainframe that manages the connections to 4 different mainframes. It allows for the same underlying unmanaged library to be opened in specific ways and more than one mainframe to be connected to at a time. Each library has its own disposal code for the unmanaged mainframe connection resource. The wrapper also has code that calls the individual mainframe connection's disposal code.
This causes an error if someone's project does not make use of all 4 mainframes, but calls the disposal on the wrapper. (FileLoadException could not load assembly X of the 4 managed mainframes) Since that disposal code checks to see which of the 4 are not nothing/null. Even if nothing/null this is causing .net to try to load the assembly and crash.
Is the disposal code in the outer wrapper helpful or necessary? is there a way to check if the assembly for a type is even loaded that doesn't trigger.net to load the type/assembly?I modified the code below to block the fileloadexception, but I don't believe this is the best way.

Form1 is a mdi container. It has a bunch of forms that can load inside of it as mdi children. If I close each open form inside the form1, and then click the red X at the top right, application exits fine.If I click the red X without closing the forms inside I get: An unhandled exception of type 'System.CannotUnloadAppDomainException' occurred in mscorlib.dll
Additional information: Error while unloading appdomain. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80131015) However I can break from it. How do I get the application to not show that error? What must I do to fix those inside forms or close when the red x is clicked?

The above code is what I used in VB6 to close all forms associated with my programs before my program closed. I have been searching for information on how to make sure all forms are closed when closing a VB2008 program.
I have seen info on using the Project Property Shutdown mode When startup form closes and I currently have this set.
Is this all that is really necessary? Will the garbage disposal close everything else to free up RAM?
Also, if I have several forms open and want to close all from the main form without closing each one individually, what is the best approach? Is there a collection like in VB6, go through the collection, compare it to the name of the main form and close it if it is not the main form?
I am in the process of writing a program that converts large number of records from one format to another. When doing some testing on it, to make sure I don't have any memory leaks, I am noticing a large number of undiposed cursor objects. I am not sure what to do with these. My program seems to run fine, however on some computers I am getting issues when the process is complete.
What happens is this. The program starts up, the user sets up the configuration options, it does it's processing, it creates a HTML report and launches IE (or whatever their default browser is) to display it. Then the program goes back to its Config display.

I have a custom settings file that I designed using the designer. In my form, I have a function that creates a new instance of this settings by using a dim statement. Then I add this new settings object to a hashtable. After I exit this function, I no longer have access to the settings object without using the hashtable to retrieve it. If I want to remove the object from the hashtable, I can do a simple remove but the settings object still exists somewhere in memory. How can I dispose of this object as well since it inherits from ApplicationSettingsBase and does not have a built in Dispose() function?

I'm having a problem over here; I'm developing a DirectX 9 application, and for some reason, I can't figure the way to close the application completely. This has never happened to me, to be honest. I am using Application.Exit(), which doesn't seem to do anything - it just closes the form, but the program is still running. I have also tried End, but it throws a run-time error I can't seem to figure out.

I have a form in a Pocket PC app that is set to be the Application form using:Application.Run(New frmMain())Somehow this form is getting closed for no reason while working on another form. No closing event is fired and nowhere in my code can you close the main form anyway. It is only closed by clicking the OK button at the top right of the window. When this is clicked, the user is prompted if he/she really wants to close the application. However, this is not occurring either.Basically, I am on another form which adds a new record to the database. After adding the record the gotFocus event is somehow called for frmMain. When the code in the gotFocus event reaches a reference to a control on the form, there is an exception that states that the object is disposed.

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 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 6 RepliesI 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.
View 2 RepliesI 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.
