Asp.net - Dispose & Finalize For Collections Of Properties?
Apr 20, 2009
I'm looking at some vb.net code I just inherited, and cannot fathom why the original developer would do this.
Basically, each "Domain" class is a collection of properties. And each one implements IDisposable.Dispose, and overrides Finalize(). There is no base class, so each just extents Object.
Dispose sets each private var to Nothing, or calls _private.Dispose when the property is another domain object. There's a private var that tracks the disposed state, and the final thing in Dispose is GC.suppressFinalize(Me)
Finalize just calls Me.Dispose and MyBase.Finalize.
There are no un-managed resources, no db connections, nothing that would seem to need this.

Inherits System.ComponentModel.Component
Private foo as New Component
Private bar as New Component
Protected Override Sub Finalize()
foo.Dispose() ' HERE ? '
bar.Dispose()
MyBase.Finalize()
End Sub
Protected Overrides Sub Dispose(disposing As Boolean)

I'm making a control and I am trying to finalize my design time properties grid. I have several List(of Class) items as public properties and when I click on the design time menu (while testing the control) there is the word "Collection" and a button with an ellipsis (...) that brings up a neat pop up with the buttons Add/remove and all of the public properties of the collection's class on the right hand side. Basically for a non-collection instance of a class (with public properties) I'd like a similar button to show up. I know I could put all of the properties in the main control class and group them, but I like the pop up box feature. Anyway to duplicate this? (think font grid item etc.)

Why does everyone say in forums that it is Rolling back in the dispose? Where does it rollback?

What's really the point in using the former?It's hard to use linq if I used the former. I have to convert that to an array first which is difficult because there is no (asarray) function.I think I would change all of my code that's using System.
Collections.Specialized.StringCollection to System.Collections.Generic.List(Of String)

(1) I've read a lot of questions about IDisposable where the answers recommend not using Finalize unless you really need to because of the process time involved.What I haven't seen is how much this cost is and how often it's paid. Every millisecond? second? hour, day etc.
(2) Also, it seems to me that Finalize is handy when its not always known if an object can be disposed. For instance, the framework font class. A control can't dispose of it because it doesn't know if the font is shared. The font is usually created at design time so the user won't know to dispose it, therefore finalize kicks in to finally get rid of it when there are no references left. Is that a correct impression?

when i call GC.ReRegisterForFinalize(obj) and changed my mind, i could call GC.SuppressFinalize(obj) and remove it from the list of object that requests finalization. problem is that when i call GC.ReRegisterForFinalize(obj) twice, it registers the object twice in the finalization-listing. i need to remove the object from the finalization-listing but multiple calls of GC.SuppressFinalize(obj) could not remove obj from the list.also, why is it acceptable for this function to be called SuppresFinalize when after calling it Finalize still occurs?

I have a logging class that stores entries in a datatable dt. I then use SQLBULKCOPY to write that dt out to a sql table. Basic stuff. Problem is, I'd like to only call SQLBULKCOPY when there's say 50 entries in the dt. The problem is, what if I'm done (either intentionally or not, like if the code block that's using the log class throws an exception) with the logging object and there are still 15 rows in the dt?

how do we implement Finalize to remove an object?i tried this:
Public Sub kill()
Me.Finalize()
End Sub
then this:
Dim g = New Test
g.kill()
MsgBox(g.ToString)
weird the object still exists, i don't get a NullReferencePointer exception

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.

why does finalize not get fired when i try to destroy a class until the application is exiting. i feel like because these objects were never actually finalized until the program is exiting that its somehow bogging down the operation of my app VS 2008?

In the form design I set up a TableLayoutPanel, 20x20 cells and in cell (1,1) a PictureBox (called Target) containing the image of a small target. The properties box for Target shows some very promising properties, Column and Row - and if you overwrite the values in the properties box, the PictureBox obligingly shifts to the corresponding cell position in th design. However in VB it is not possible to refer to Me.Target.Row or .Column - neither appears during coding in the menu of properties, and deliberately coding either of them produces an error like
Error 1 'row' is not a member of 'System.Windows.Forms.PictureBox'.
1. Why does the properties box show properties that cannot be altered programmatically?
2. How can my program move Target around in the TableLayoutPanel?

I'm working on a Hazardous Materials label printing program. One of the options is to do an "NFPA" label. Since there are 4 values required with 4 or 6 options, the ratings are entered via radio buttons in a group box. That's working okay. I display values in the NFPA diamond as they're entered: left quadrant blue, top quadrant red, left yellow, bottom red. I'm having trouble with the label in which the rating will be displayed on top of a jpg diamond for the white. In this quadrant the text can be up to 4 characters. I can accept the text going into an adjacent block a little, but the corners of the label overlap into another quadrant/color. I reduced the font size which solved the overlap problem but the font is then too small and looks terrible. I tried to make the background of the label transparent to let the color come through correctly but that's not a valid value for label.background. I'm figuring that the transparent background is the best solution. What can I use that will accept a transparent background so the color shows through?
I'm trying to set the transparent property via label properties properties, not via code. Here's the code if it makes any difference:
Public Class NFPA
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Close()
End Sub

Say I have a interface called IProperties and I have a collection called colMyProperties that is a collection of IProperties. Then I have an object called clsProperty that implements the IProperty interface. Now, in my code where I add objects to the colMyProperties collection I add a bunch of clsProperty objects. so far so good.
Now when I try to access an object in the collection I can only access properties and methods of the IProperties interface, not the clsProperty object. What am I doing wrong? Do I need to cast the object?

Pages have Roles. Users have Roles. A user may only view a page if he and it share one or more roles.
This works:
Dim Allow As Boolean = False
CurrentPage.Roles.Load()
For Each r As Role In CurrentPage.Roles
r.Users.Load()
[Code]...
How can I make it compare only the Role Id values to determine equality?

I have a VB6 project with about 100 custom collection classes which I want to convert to VB.Net. A typical example would be something like.
Class CAccounts
Private m_Accounts As New Collection
Public Sub Add(newItem As CAccount)
m_Accounts.Add newItem, newItem.IdKey
[code].....
All of the collection classes in the project use this standard approach. However, not all the properties/methods of the collection classes are actually used. Most of the collection are used in "for each" loops. Keyed access using the string key is quite common. Keyed access by index is much less common.
Ideally I'd like to take a standard approach to converting these classes. I don't really want to have to review each collection and it's usage to consider whether I need a List, Dictionary, etc. Some of these collection contain 100,000 objects, and some will only contain 10. However, on the other hand I don't want to cause performance problems by using a more complex structure where a simpler option would do.
Sticking with the old style Collection. So, it would be relatively easy to convert to VB.Net But, I'd rather move to the more modern structures.Have CAccounts Inherit KeyedCollection(Of String, CAccount). Fortunately most of the classes held in the collections do have the key as part of the class (eg CAccount.IdKey above). This seems to work well. However, relatively few classes will access the colelction by numeric index. So, perhaps this is overkill if I only want keyed access by the string key?Have CAccounts Inherit Dictionary(Of String, CAccount) for the classes where I don't need access by numeric index. The problem I have with this is that all the existing "for each" loops are like "for each account in accounts". I don't want to have to change all these occurences to something like "for each account in accounts.Values". Although perhaps I can get round this by changing the default property?Have CAccounts Inherit MyCollection(Of String, CAccount), where MyCollection is my own bespoke collection. This seems a bit too much hard work.

Is there a way to create a collection of collections? e.g. I created a collection ListOf(Lines) After I add all my lines to it, I want to store this colleciton in another listOf(Collections). The reason I want to do this is because i want to create several separate collections of lines and I'll need to loop through them all to look for a certain line and I thought this would be a good approach if it's possible.
