Second Form Loads Only Once?
Jun 11, 2011Within the program, there is a button that opens a file inside of a second form ( DocViewFrm ) and it works fine the first time around. Within this new window, there is a button that uses Me.Close() to close the window and return to the main window. Upon the attempt to open this second form a second time, the program crashes on the Me.DocViewFrm.Show() line. The error message reads:
An unhandled exception of type 'System.ObjectDisposedException' occurred in System.Windows.Forms.dll
Additional information: Cannot access a disposed object.

Exception Occuring Before Any Form Loads?
Jan 12, 2011I wrote this application in VB2008 and it ran for three years without problems(It had one first chance error during that time but ran correctly). I started having problems at the first of this year with a textbox not showing the update for the date code correctly. So I thought that maybe some update to the system had changed and I might need to do some code changes to take into account for these updates.I first tried to convert it to 2010 but the conversion would not operate correctly even though the code showed to be correct.It would jump from one form to another in the middle of a if statement using debug to step through the code. the if statement would just test for a variable to be less than 2 and then be changing the text in a textbox. So I decided that It would take longer to correct the converted application then to just use VB2008.
So I went back to VB2008 and my XP to find out why the date code had quit working. This code had been working correctly for three years.I was thinking some of the code used had become outdated in some way, because a copy of the original source would not run in debug mode correctly. It showed the same problem of not updating the textbox. I stepped through debug and found that it was doing the same thing as the VB2010 version and jumping in the middle of the if statment. So I rewrote the code and used the format string command to build the date code in stead of the seerating out the date into 3 variables using a split statment.This works for the textbox problem and stoped the jumping to a different form. But since I have went back to the original code I have the first chance errors comming up.
I have several first chance exceptions being thrown from debug. This happens when I fisrt start the debug and I have put break points all through the applicatins to try and find the problem I have also enabled debug exceptions Common runtime thrown and it still gives the exceptions but no break point.I have option Strict on. There is no errors or warnings showing after a build. I have cleaned the solution and exausted all my methods of troubleshoooting this problem.The following is what I am recieving while in debug mode in the immediate window.
A first chance exception of type 'System.IndexOutOfRangeException' occurred in LABEL MAKER 2 Forms.exe
A first chance exception of type 'System.IndexOutOfRangeException' occurred in LABEL MAKER 2 Forms.exe
A first chance exception of type 'System.IndexOutOfRangeException' occurred in LABEL MAKER 2 Forms.exe
A first chance exception of type 'System.IndexOutOfRangeException' occurred in LABEL MAKER 2 Forms.exe
A first chance exception of type 'System.InvalidCastException' occurred in Microsoft.VisualBasic.dll
A first chance exception of type 'System.InvalidCastException' occurred in Microsoft.VisualBasic.dll
Now if I run this as a published application I get the same error as the first one on the above list and it gives a error window with continue, exit,and details, if continue is pressed it will allow me to continue and the application runs correctly.The details just say basicly the same as the error with no error number and that the error was in my application.exe. Nethier of these errors will give a break point so that I can find the problem. The problem does not appear to be in my code because this happens before the first form appears.
IDE :: Form Changed When Project Loads?

But I am not quite sure how to implement this in vb. Basically I got an application that is showing 11,000K+ mem usage in the task manager when in actuality it is really only utilizing about 1,000K if that and I want to try and trim the working set to show the actual usage in the task manager rather than what the framework is reserving.
