I can define a NEW sub that runs when an object is instantiated. What is the correct sub to call when it is disposed? I would think a method named dispose, but I seem to remember somewhere that there is a better choice than dispose.
Why do I care? I want to be able to track when a given object is released.
With a form, I can use formClosing, but what about a simple class definition?
how I would know what to search for to have found it without bugging any of you? everything I tried resulted in way too many hits that had nothing to do with VB or what I wanted to achieve.
how to track an object such as your eyes or a red ball with VB.NET using a webcam or some other video device. I know I have seen a guide to do this, but I can no longer find it.
I'm working on a small project, and ran into an issue. I'm creating new picture boxes on a form to represent a control. My question is how would I code a click event for an object that isn't on the forum initially? Also, how can I keep track of which object is assigned to which data in an array? (IE picturebox 0 is array(0) of data)
I am writing a class library to interact with a domain Active Directory. In my object model, I have the following: Domain; Organizational Unit; Group; User.
In my Domain object, I have an Entries property and an Add() method. public class Domain { // The ReadOnlyDictionary<TKey, TValue> is a custom wrapper over an IDictionary. public ReadOnlyDictionary<string, IDirectoryEntry> Entries { get; } public void Add(IDirectoryEntry entry) { Entries.Add(entry.Name, entry); [Code] .....
For your information, I implemented the INotifyPropertyChanged interface to ease my life, but I don't seem to find a way to make it work the way I want. Perhaps am I not doing things right somehow, as for the location of different methods, I don't know. How can I make my Domain aware of a change that occured within one of its Entries, so that the TKey value is also changed? That is wanted because one could possibly add an entry, change its name meanwhile adding a new entry with the "old" name of the actual within entry, and cause a conflict, etc. In the end, causing the test to fail. But I'd like to make it pass like it actually is. Is there another better approach or workaround?
There isa xml file about 30 mb size. we are reading text of this file and assigning to a string variable.Then it occupy sapce in memory. But after comes out from method memory still not released. I also set variable to nothing.It still not released.[code]When i close the application.Then all the memory release. Or when i use the GC.GetTotalMemory(True) after st=nothing. Then most of the memory release not completely. I am checking the memory usage from Task manager and process explorer.
i've got a Set and a Get in a property. I want to allow multiple threads to do Get anytime they wish to, however if any thread tries to do Set, all threads must not be able to Get/Set until the Set is complete.[code]the problem is that this is pretty inefficient because each request to Get will steal the Mutex and prevent other Gets until the stolen Mutex is Released. Is there anyway to just check if a Mutex is released instead of using WaitOne because WaitOne checks and gains control of the Mutex which is not what i want
When running a program in VS debug mode, I use the Debug.Print and watch the Immidiate Window. I'm sure there are more advanced ways to debug, but I haven't learned so far.
But I would like to know how is the best way to track both log of exceptions as well as in-code specific method print-outs (like Debug.Print), during "released" runtime; outside VS.
I would like for two purpose:
Write to log text-file Write to UI window, like a rich-textbox.
Is this a case I should use Console.Writline? I have never used that, so if you could briefly explain if this is the right tool for what I want to accomplish, or what other ways I should consider.

I want to display photos of people when the mouse passes over their name. I wanted to be able to size the picture box to be proportional to the various photographs and let the Stretch property handle the rest.I used the code above offered by John Wein to a question from 2009 to read the dimension of the picture It worked fine until I pass over the same person twice. Then I get an error that the file is in use by another process.I tried adding:
"BR.Close"
With and without
"BR.Dispose"
But the file is still locked-out on the second pass. I tried setting "PictureBox.Image = Nothing" when the mouse leaves the square, still the file is seen as in use and locked.
Is there something that needs to be done with the following code to release the memory it uses?
Dim objImage As MemoryStream Dim objwebClient As WebClient Dim sURL As String = Trim(m_StationInterface.PicLocation)
[Code].....
The code is on a popup form that shouldn't ever get disposed. A new image is loaded onto the form every time it pops up. However, the process size for the application continues to grow each time it makes it through that code block.
I've tried objImage.Close() and .Flush(), objWebClient.Dispose(). The process size still grows by a good 4mb after every call. It's like the old image is kept in memory.
I have a VB program that displays a PDF file. When the program is closed it takes 30 seconds or so before AcroRd32 process releases the PDF file. In certain circumstances if the program is restarted with in this period, the PDF file does not display. The specific circumstances is that I have a second program (re)starting the program that displays the PDF file.
a) Make the PDF file be immediately released when my program closes
b) When the PDF file is loaded test that it properly loaded so that it can be reloaded if necessary.
in a winform, in vb net,I have a list view with hoverselection set to true. I start a drag and drop operation when the mousedown event is fired, but it's fired only when i release the mouse button on the control or on the dropped control! is it a normal behavior?
I've created a simple Windows Forms Application and the idea is I want to identify all instances of Excel, save any open workbooks to my desktop and close all the Excel instances down.[code]I'm pretty new to this C# business so hints on the following two possible issues I've identified would be much appreciated:The ForEach loop doesn't seem to be successfully looping through the XlApp.Workbooks collection as I was hoping. It seems that I can't quit each Excel application which, with my current code structure, is causing an infinite loop. My suspicion is that Marshal.GetActiveObject() is locking it up and preventing it from closing?If nothing obvious jumps out then I might try the alternative method by Andrew Whitechapel mentioned and linked to on this thread.
I have a program designed in VB.net for a wafer probing system. The software has 3 main components that come standard and three that are options. When a customer decides not to have the three options they are disabled but still in the program. If at some point they decide to buy the options, one of our technicians would have to go there and be able to access the program with an administrative account to enabled the components.
Does anyone have any suggestions on what the easiest way to accomplish this?
Before anyone tries to close this thread thinking this is for malicous purposes, let me tell you that it's not. What i'm working on is an application to save screenshots to files as soon as the 'Print Screen' key is pressed, as Jpegs or what ever. What i want to do is be able to minimize the application and I still want the application pick up on any 'Print Screen' presses, and save the screenshots. I've tried using the KeyPress event, but I soon realized that it only worked when the application had focus. I plan on using it to save screenshots every time I press 'Print Screen'
want to make a program to keep track of my emails sent in Outlook. I want to know what email I read (the email title and the email sender name) and what email I sent (the email title and also the name of the recipents) at the end of the day. Is that possible to do that?
i came a across a forum. it states the use of progress bar as track bar but that's after using mouse

I want to fetch client's ip address as soon as he accesses my web-site built in silverlight application. Is there any method to achieve this target in silverlight application?
I am somewhat new to object oriented programming and am attempting to flatten a Linq object hierarchy by using a shim class.how to initalize a derived class with property values from a base class?I have two objects, a base object with about 100 properties, and a derived object which inherits from the base object and adds a few additional properties beyond those of the base object. My simple constructor creates the derived object, but I am looking for a way to initialize the derived object properties with values from the base object.Right now I am using reflection to iterate over the properties individually and I suspect there may be a better way. The following example shows my shim class constructor for the derived class, and two properties:
newProperty1 - a new string property of the derived class
flattenedProperty2 - a new string property of the derived class, copied from a 2nd-level object of the base class
Code example:
Public Class derivedObj Inherits baseObj Private _newProperty1 As String[code].......
Is this the correct constructor approach to flatten the object hierarchy using a shim class? My second question relates to initialization of properties in the derived class. The constructor above creates the derived object, but what is the best way to initialize the derived object properties with values from the base object? The following code uses reflection to iterate over the properties individually, but I suspect there may be a better way.
Code example:
' property names are in the string array fieldNames
'baseObjQuery is an ienumerable of baseObj
'derivedObjList is a list of derivedObj[code].....
Is there a simple way to initialize values for the properties in the derived object based upon the values of the common properties in the base object?
So basicly ive made a media player in vb using the windows media player control and everything is fine except that when i use the trackbar to navigate on a video it starts stopping and starting like a scratched cd (there is nothing wrong with the video file) strangely this does not happen whilst playing audio files the shaking stops if i pause it for a second ant then play it again but incorporating a pause in the trackbar function does not help. This the code i found on the internet but this produces the same result:[code]...

I need a function for my new project, the application I'm making for the PC is going to communicate with a PIC through USB. The problem I'm having is that I can't find a way for my .NET application to get the song that is currently playing like MSN can. I've been searching alot all over google but all I get is "how to play music in vb.net" and that is not what I'm looking for.
I have a screen full of puzzle peices they are all rotated at different angles (90,180,270). is there a way to track the peices rotation? I was thinking of using a 2d array to store there rotation. however, I am using this code to rotate the peices:
when i create a class ( ie ahuman ), i declare a object (ahuman) , i give it properties and with the properties i also can set the property ahuman , by creating the property ahuman (new) and set its variables, and declare its variables by declaring properties like weight, lenght, female or not.the problem for me is that i have multiple forms multiple class files , i cant oversee how to get track of all the new instances of classes.it is much easier to use pulbic shared properties to use a method in another class.
