VS 2008 Use IDisposable?
May 21, 2009
I have been working on this for a while now. And I am still confused about some issues. My questions below
1) I know that you only need a finalizer if you are disposing of unmanaged resources. However, if you are using managed resources that make calls to unmanaged resources. Would you still need to implement a finalizer?
2) However, if you develop a class that doesn't use any unmanged resources directly or indirectly and you implement the IDisposable so that clients of your class can use the 'using statement'. Would it be acceptable to implement the IDisposable just so that clients of your class can use the using statement?

I am a budding MCTS so I am not a 100% sure of whether I am correct in this instance.I am looking through a windows forms application created by a developer who has left our company some time ago. Within the code I have found a custom form derived from the standard form baseclass which explicity implements IDisposable.The custom form does not call any COM object or do any file IO operations and has only one database call which is closed and disposed off in the method that calls it. However within the code of the form there is the following,[code].....
Looking at this am I right in thinking that this should be removed including the implements IDisposable line at the top of the form since,
1. The listeners collection will go out of scope when the form does as the collection only references listener objects (which do not implement IDisposable).
2. The controls do not explicitly need disposing, since when the form goes out of scope this will be done anyway.

What is the best practice for when to implement IDisposable? Is the best rule of thumb to implement it if you have one managed object in the class, or does it depend if the object was created in the class or just passed in? Should I also do it for classes with no managed objects at all?

In cases where Using can't be used because IDisposable is not implemented, is the following code an OK practice for With/End With? Would this cause a memory leak or would it be better to set an instance variable and then set it to nothing?
With New System.IO.FileInfo(sFileName)
' Do some work
End With

I implemented IDisposable into one of my classes, but don't know if I did it correctly. Can someone tell me what will be cleared from memory and what will remain after calling .Dispose on an instance of this class? [Code]

just wondering if we could change the implementation functino of IDisposable.Dispose to a private. because the default i've got something like this:

Protected Overridable Sub Dispose(ByVal disposing As Boolean) or could i take away the the Protected Overridable and replace it with a Private access modifier?

I'm using the RegisterHotkey and UnregisterHotkey functions
Code:
<DllImport("user32.dll")> _
Private Shared Function RegisterHotKey(ByVal hWnd As IntPtr, ByVal id As Integer, ByVal fsModifiers As UInteger, ByVal vk As UInteger) As Boolean
[CODE]...
I have a Hotkey class that is (should be) responsible for calling UnregisterHotkey. I want to take it out of the users' hands to ensure that UnregisterHotkey will always be called when the object is destroyed. Would that be IDisposable or something else?

i may be misunderstanding this but on MSDN i believe it says that it is good practice to implement the Dispose destructor in every class you write. should i (do you) really implement the IDisposable interface with every class i write? also, is the proper syntax for implementing an interface to put the "Implements" keyword on the line after the "class" declaration? i put it on the same line as "class" and I got an error.when coding the method implemented by the interface, is it mandatory to follow this syntax, as an example: Public Sub Dispose() Implements System. IDisposable. Dispose.

Recently I needed to compare a suggested pattern for IDisposable and object finalization with the auto-generated one we which VS2005/VB.NET provide. We have used the auto-generated one a fair bit, but after looking it the two side by side I had a number of questions about the VB.NET implementation..
[Code]...
Overall I am confused by the supposed added value of having an extended code-path that executes when Dispose() is called explicitly(as opposed to having a common path that is executed regardless of whether or not Dispose() was called explicitly). how it does anything other than delay the actual release of managed resources if Dispose() isn't called directly. In essence it seems to only work to make the managed resources unreachable in the object graph, orphaning them until the 2nd GC run rather than freeing them at a point where they are known to be no longer needed.

I am comparing an alternative Dispose pattern to VS2005's default implementation. In doing the comparison I have found several uncertainties with the default pattern which have raised a handful of questions related to sub-class implementations and object Finalization.

Is it possible to automatically insert a Code Snippet when an interface is implemented? If so, how do you do it? I am looking for something similar to when you implement IDispoable in VB.[code]This will be used by web forms when transfering parameters from one page to the next using Server.Transfer

I'm calling the following method from a button click event to export a datatable to excel. After the export is completed, the excel application object is quit, released and assigned to nothing. But in reality it's not getting released and stays active unless the entire application is closed. So every time the button is clicked for export, a new excel application object keeps on running. The problem doesn't occur if two of the lines from the method below are not used. But I can't omit them as they are really needed. Check the * marked lines.
Code:
''' <summary>
''' Exports data from a datatable to excel.
''' </summary>

i'm running Visual Basic 2008 Express Edition (latest service pack ... 9.0.30729.1 SP) on XP Pro SP3 with .Net Framework version 3.5 SP1 I have a rather large project I've imported from Visual Studio 2003 (Standard).The project compiles and runs just fine ... my compiled program itself never crashes.
But while I actually have the code up in the IDE, and simply adding/deleting code the whole IDE will randomly crash (usually without warning) and I loose my changes since last save.If/when I do get some hint of why it crashed, I get a window about illegal whitespace or something.... but that's rare ... usually it just crashes without warning and the whole IDE completely shuts down instantly. just deleting/adding a character is enough to trigger it maybe once every 30 minutes.
This is on a computer that is otherwise very rock solid .... no other program ever crashes, etc.

Is there a way to validate a groupbox with a couple radiobuttons in it to make sure that one of the radiobuttons is selected?
Heres why I need this. I need a user to be able to select their class rank out by way of radiobuttons in a groupbox. When they click submit, I need to validate that atleast one of the radiobuttons got selected and if not display a messagebox.
I got one reply early of:
If myGroupBox.Controls.OfType(Of RadioButton).Count(Function(rb) rb.Checked) = 0 Then
'There is no RadioButton checked in myGroupBox.
End If
Is there any other ways other then that? Preferrably a more 'dumbed' down way? This is for just an entry level VB class, I would prefer not to use something of that nature if there is another way.

I get the message "Please wait while Windows configures Microsoft Visual Studio 2008..." whenever I build the install project for my application. It configures VS for a while, then builds the project. This does not happen when I build the vb.net application itself, only the installation project in the same solution. This occurs on applications using the Leadtools library, but not others.

I have been working on an app that was basically a vb6 app but had to be changed and I did it all using VB 2008. works well, great. One of the problems that I had was to work on different groupboxes or frames. Since they are layered on top of each other, working on one frame would mess up the others. Eventually it all went okay. but now if i want to add another item in the menu and hence add another groupbox (or frame) in the same app - it would definitely be a nightmare.

I recently created a very simple project in VB express 2008 to interface with a COM object from an external vendor. I then downloaded the VS2008 90 day trial and found that the identical code in a VS2008 project results in a COMException error "Object is out of scope". Is anyone aware of any differences in how the two packages handle COM object interfaces as I have run out of ideas. Both projects have identical code and all the references are the same. The CreateObject() method correctly creates the object, but any attempt to access methods inside the COM object result in that error. I can even open the VB 2008 Express project inside VS and it still generates the same error.
Here is the code - the vendor dll in question is from Siebel v8.0.0, you'll notice that I have commented out most of the code that comes after the error. Creating a watch in the debugger on the siebApp variable sees it correctly created as {System.__ComObject}type SiebelHTMLApplication. I first tried this by creating the Property Service for variable siebSvcs, but after I started experiencing the COMExceptions, I reverted to using the most basic method inside the COM object I was creating.
