Programatically Get Hold Of The Autos/local Variables That Is Shown When Debugging?

Mar 9, 2010

Im trying to build an error-logger that loggs running values that is active in the function that caused the error. (just for fun so its not a critical problem)When going in break-mode and looking at the locals-tab and autos-tab you can see all active variables (name, type and value), it would be useful to get hold of that for logging purposes when an error occur and on some other occasions.For my example, I just want to find all local variables that are of type string and integer and store the name and value of them.

Why Application Pause Debugging When Hold The Titlebar With Mouse

Sep 17, 2009

I am putting two questions in one thread. I am using VS2008 Pro.

1- Why my application stops running when I 'Click and hold the left mouse button' and resume after releasing the mouse button on Titlebar? i.e. why this happens when I grab the title bar? How can I avoid this so that my application run regardless if the form is moving or title bar is grabbed with mouse while debugging?

2- I want to make one button to pause the whole application then restart the application from the point where it stopped.

.net - Don't Create Local Variable To Hold The Reference Of The Object?

Nov 17, 2010

How does the GC dispose objects created in the following 2 scenarios?

1)

Private Function DoSomething() As Boolean
Return New DatabaseManager().Insert()
End Function

2)

Private Function DoSomething() As Boolean
Dim mngr As New DatabaseManager()
Return mngr.Insert()
End Function

In Option 1, I don't create local variable to hold the reference of the object. In Option 2, I hold the reference in local variable.What option is better and why? (if any)

Gained By Using The Function Itself To Hold The Return Value Instead Of Declaring A Local Variable?

Oct 28, 2010

What's best practice (in VB.Net):

Function GetSomething() as String
GetSomething = "Here's your string"
End Function
or
Function GetSomething() as String
Dim returnString as String = "Here's your string"
Return returnString
End Function

Obviously, neither of these implementations make any sense, but they're just meant to illustrate my point. Is there anything to be gained by using GetSomething itself to store the return value instead of declaring returnString locally and then returning that (does it avoid having an extra string allocated/instantiated - and if so, are there any performance/memory benefits)?

Disposal Of Local Variables

When you declare a local variable (inside a method), is it automatically disposed when the method ends? Or should I still use variable.Dispose() ?

Reflection On Local Variables?

Feb 13, 2009

Is it possible to get the name of a local variable from a reference to the variable? For example, I can get the names and values of a calling function's parameters like this:

Dim frame As New StackFrame(1)
Dim pInfos() As ParameterInfo = frame.GetMethod().GetParameters()

Is there some way to get the same information for a calling function's local variables? This is kind of what I have in mind:

Sub SomeSub()
Dim count As Integer = 10
Dim average As Single = 45.67

[Code]......

Local Variables Are Automatically Shared

Mar 13, 2012

I was reviewing the MSDN documentation on VB.Net's little-used Static keyword for local variables. My question is not about how Static works (I personally plan to avoid using it as it seems like it could cause grief to future programmers who don't notice the side-effects.) My question is about this statement in the docs:[code]So can anyone interpret the above statement for me in a way that makes sense? Or is this a bug in the documentation? It's been there since the VS 2005 version of the docs and is still present in the Visual Studio 11 version.

Asp.net - Server.Transfer Losing Local Variables?

Oct 26, 2011

For my application, I have a page that redirects to another page (within the same application) via Server.Transfer. I need to do this because the original page has an object that I need to access by using the Page.PreviousPage property.

Once my "destination" page has been fully loaded, a local deep clone that I made of the source page's object is suddenly released from memory once I perform a postback? Is this by design--something to do with the Server.Transfer?

Page1.aspx:
Public Structure myCustomObject
Implements ICloneable
Dim someField as String = "default value" ' Default value

[code]....

At this point, EVERYTHING works as it should. Stuff got cloned over correctly and all is well.(Let's say this is on a button click event) Debug.Write(newObj.someField) ' Output: "default value"<- This is NOT "changed value from source page" for some reason when it was working literally a few lines ago! My guess is that the Server.Transfer stops any association with the source page after the new page loads.

Creating Temp Local Variables - Bad Practice?

Private Shared Variables Vs Local / Namespace Performance

Jun 8, 2009

I came across a number of new Private Shared variables (of type Hashtables(Of String), initialized in the declaration) added to a partial class for a very large (DataContext-derived) class. This seems sensible to me in one sense because they never change, and making these shared variables ensures that they won't get re-initialized every time a function is called. However, these variables are only used within the scope of one function in the class, and I fear the private namespace of this DataContext-derived class is getting rather polluted, and having these sorts of things exposed at such a high level might be confusing to others reading the code in the future.

Would there be negative performance impact to making these local variables within the function where they are used, or is there some better way to handle this? Basically we are using these 3 hashtables to determine whether anything within particular subsets of properties changed (using GetModifiedMembers and then using the Overlaps function of the hashset to see if any of the modified members correspond to members we care about).

Edit: I caved and took the time to write my own test program, which confirmed that there is a cost to using local variables (which I assume applies generally to all cases -- I doubt there's any case where a shared variable would be slower unless using the shared variable requires some additional logic to do so properly): [Code]

So in this particular case, using the local variable costs about 200%. But in most cases (including my own), the time is probably negligible compared to the overall task. So I guess the question now becomes, how do people generally feel about improving code maintainability at the cost of negligible but known performance impacts?

Use Of Static Local Variables In Lazy Loading Property

Sep 19, 2011

I just recently learned about the uses of static local variables in VB.NET and wondered about it's potential use in lazy loading properties.

Consider the following example code.

Public Class Foo
Implements IFoo
End Class

[Code].....

As far as i can see, this has a few advantages over the usual implementation, primary your inability to access the variable outside of the property, as well as not having to use an additional variable.

My question to you is: Which of those is the "right" way to do it? I know that static variables have additional overhead, but is it bad enough to create, in my personal opinion, unclearer code that can be misused easier? How much performance do you lose compared to the "traditional" method? How does it matter for small classes compared to huge factories?

VS 2008 - Take A String Of Variables With A Common Delimiter And Break It All Back Out Into Separate Variables

To reiterate, the calling function does not receive the updated data that is in the variables custid and amt.When debugging, I see the data change in the else section of "if me.invokerequired", but once it returns from the callback the data is missing.[code]

Define Some Global Variables Of A Class - Variables Occupy Memory?

Mar 23, 2012

I define some global variables of a class as follows:

Private Class MyClass
Private var1 as Decimal
Private list1 as List(Of string)[code].....

But I found that after this form is closed, all above variables, var1, list1, list2 still exist in memory. I thought they should be collected by gc since the form is already disposed as I confirmed.

Add: I have monitored half an hour after the form is closed. But these variables are not collected by gc. I have an automatic update procedure on the form which uses above variables.Since the above variables still hold values, the automatic update procedure is always called which causes exception. (One quick fix is to check if form.isDisposed in update procedure. But I do not think this is elegeant. Besides, these variables occupy memory.)

Multithreading: Reading/setting Variables, And Passing Variables?

Mar 8, 2011

Question 1: What is the difference between "Background Worker" and "Worker Pool" as indicated within the MSDN samples provided.

Question 2: I noticed while using, AddressOf _Function_, variables cannot be passed; what would be an efficient solution to this?

Question 3: While using multithreading is it required to invoke before setting variables, or only form properties?

Question 4: While using System.Net.Sockets is it safe/efficient to use Application.DoEvents while waiting for new data; or would be using a Do While loop be fine without DoEvents since the action would be multithreaded? Note: there can be up to 2000-3000 sockets in use at a time.
