XML Serialization And How It Handles Writing Out To A File?
Apr 19, 2011
I have searched far and wide and have not been able to find a solution to my problem.I have a typical situation where a process is gradually eating up memory. The process eventually throws an OutofMemory Exception. This problem has been dealt with in the past by just building a special machine that has greater memory.
This process bombs on only one of our clients which has around 450,000 records. We iterate through the collection of accounts and build a class object that is then passed into the xml serializer. This object has several properties and methods that would not all be populated at the same time. These objects are populated based on the information in each account record.
I've checked on the way we call the contructor for the XML Serializer and it is in the format that would store the xml assembly and not create new ones each time. So, I do not believe there is a memory leak due to the creation of the dynamic assemblies.How we call the serializer: Dim k1Serializer As New XmlSerializer(GetType(ClassObject))
My questions are:When serializing a large object, does the serializer look at every possible serializable object or just the ones that are populated by your object?
Could the serialization of this large class object be causing an issue?I noticed when we pass in the serialized object, it's not automatically written out to the file specified. It takes a few seconds to, I guess, serialize the object and then write it out. Could the fact that we are iterating over so many records, so quickly, that the serializer is not having enough time to write out to the file and then release the memory?

I've been using XML serialization for a while, and today I realized something really odd. If I have a new line right after a "dot" (.), when i deserialize, I lose the dot. Has anyone ever had this happen to them? The following is my serialization code:

I am having trouble saving a class to a file via Serialization. I am getting this error:
Type 'System.Drawing.Graphics' in Assembly 'System.Drawing, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a' is not marked as serializable.
I have changed the:
Public Class cJigsaw
to:
<Serializable()> Public Class cJigsaw
The next line in my class is:
Public img As Bitmap
I tried adding the <Serializable()> attribute to this code, yet it has this error:
Attribute 'SerializableAttribute' cannot be applied to 'img' because the attribute is not valid on this declaration type.

I am experiencing a strange issue with a VB6 -> VB.Net conversion. There is a function that uses ADOX to look through the tables in a given database, and reset the seed values of any columns in said tables with the auto increment property set to true.I tracked the issue down to a call of "col.Properties("Autoincrement").Value". If this line of code is commented out, then the file handle properly terminates when I close both the ADO and the ADOX connections at the end of the function. If I leave that line in, the handle stays open despite the closing calls and forcing garbage collection.Here's how I am closing the objects:
System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.ReleaseComObject(adoConn)
Dim connection As ADODB.Connection = cat.ActiveConnection
If Not connection Is Nothing Then

How do I get the list of open file handles by process id in C#?
I'm interested in digging down and getting the file names as well.
Looking for the programmatic equivalent of what process explorer does.
Most likely this will require interop.

We needed an inter-process reader/writer lock.We decided to use a file and lock the first byte using LockEx and UnlockEx. The class creates a file in the system temp folder when it is created. The file is created with readwrite access and share read|write|delete.We also specify DeleteOnClose so we don't leave loads of temp files laying around. Obviously AcquireReader and AcquireWriter call LockEx with appropriate flags and ReleaseLock calls UnlockEx.We have tested this class using a small application that you can run several instances of and it works perfectly. The application that uses it has a problem, which we have managed to re-produce in another small test app. In pseudo code it is
Create InterProcessReaderWriter
Dispose InterProcessReaderWriter without acquiring any locks
Launch a child process which takes a reader lock
The first time this runs, it works fine. If you attempt to run it again, while the child process from the first time is still holding the lock, we get an UnauthorisedAccessException when trying to open the file.This appears to be a permission issue, not a sharing violation but all the processes in this test case are running as the same user.

I have two experimental web services. One is an asmx contained within a .net web application. The other is a WCF service library being invoked from the web application.The asmx basically does everything I need, but I think WCF would be better, except that it doesn't do anything as I would expect after fiddling with the asmx service.For example, the same method behaves differently in each:
' ASMX
<WebMethod(BufferResponse:=True, EnableSession:=False)>
Function Test(aObject as Object) as Object
' object will have been successfully serializaed into a dictionary

I have just recently been using VB 2010 after using VB5. I have noticed a lot of changes. The problem I have is that I wish to open and save text files to and from arrays in the background. I've attached what I would do in VB5. I have searched around, but all the examples I find use a Textbox instead of an array. Can anyone show me how I can do this with VB 2010?

I am attempting to gather a group of file names from a directory. I am able to do this. I tested the code by having the list populate into a listbox and all desired items were added to the list.
Here is my code:
Dim di As New IO.DirectoryInfo(strPath)
Dim dir1 As IO.FileInfo() = di.GetFiles("*.txt")
Dim dFiles As IO.FileInfo
ListBox.Items.Add(dFiles)
However, a listbox is not my desired output. I am attempting to write these file names to a text file for purposes of then parsing the information to a datatable to compare with another datatable. How to get my filenames written to a textfile.

I am working on a program using VB.Net 2010 which will enable me to setup groups of files & folders for back up with syncing capabilities etc. I have a concept program which is based on some sample code I found out in one of the VB.Net forums. I have modified it from a command line based program to a form based program. At the moment I consider this code to be a "concept" program which once I have the various copy/sync routines developed and debugged will be integrated in to another program I wrote for
creating "Back Up" groups to automate the process. There are some 3rd party programs that do similar things that I want to do such as Microsofts Sync Toy, but none of them offer the grouping and exclusions options that I am going to program in to this backup/sync program.
So here is my problem, I have the included code taking two folders, a source and a destination, and copying everything from the source to the destination. It will skip over any unchanged files/folders and will delete anything found in the destination folder that is not found in the source folder and it will update all files in the destination folder that have a newer version in the source folder. In other words it will mirror image the source to the destination but will be smart enough not to copy unchanged items from the source to the destination thereby saving a lot of time. The sync part of the program is working fine, the displaying of the progress and results is not.

for a school project I have to write data from a listbox to a new file that a user can create. I can create and save a file no problem, but for some reason I can't write anything. I followed the textbook provided but when the file saves, I open it up and it is blank. I'm using fileWriter.WriteLine and I'm just test something basic to write to a file first and I can't do it:
Code:
Private Sub storeFileButton_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles storeFileButton.Click
'creates a new file
Dim result As DialogResult ' stores the file
Dim fileName As String ' name the file to save the data

Well I'm in the middle of making a program to edit .ini files. Although I have hit a snag. I can save my settings (relies off checkboxes) with ease, however if I change something and/or hit the save button again even after the code has finished, both my entire .ini files are cleared (filePath and filePathPrefs) and all text is gone. Here's my

why it's clearing the .ini file even after the initial write worked? I've tested to make sure the entire code has finished before making another save with different settings but the issue happens again.
