Dispose pattern [modified]

When we implement the dispose pattern, in protected virtual void Dispose(bool disposing), we need to say if disposing is true, then dispose managed resources as below:

protected virtual void Dispose(bool disposing)
{
  if (!this.disposed)
  {
    if (disposing)
    {
      // Dispose managed resources.
    }
    // Dispose unmanaged resources.
  }
  disposed = true;
}

When we make a call explicitly to this method with disposing = true, in public void Dispose() as below:

public void Dispose()
{
  Dispose(true);
  GC.SuppressFinalize(this);
}

the managed resources will be explicitly disposed. But why do we need to dispose managed resources explicitly in protected virtual void Dispose(bool disposing). Won't they be disposed automatically by the GC finally after the object reach the end of its life?

Secondly, since those are managed resources, how can we get our own hands on to release them? For example, if we allocate some chuncks of memory on heap (i.e, instantiate classes), is there a way for us to release them explicitly? (Setting the references to nothing doesn't mean that, it just tells .Net that we don't need them any more, they can be recollected from this point of time. And this is actually unnecessary. Right?)

Thanx a lot.

Because you have no idea when the GC will be called, and the Dispose pattern is used to free unmanaged resources like bitmaps or database connections, so you can count on them becoming available right away.

But what about other managed objects that wrap unmanaged resources. Things like File, Pen etc.? For example :-

class TheDisposable : IDisposable
{
   IntPtr handle;    //Direct unmanaged resource
   FileStream stream;//Managed but wraps an unmanaged resource

   public void Dispose
   {
      Dispose(true);
      GC.SuppressFinalize(this);
   }

   protected virtual void Dispose(bool disposing)
   {
      if (disposing)
      {
         stream.Dispose();
      }
      CloseHandle(handle);
   }

   ~TheDisposable() { Dispose(false); }
}

If you don't explicitly dispose the stream here, you'd have to wait for the finalizer for that particular FileStream object to run (assuming it has a finalizer).

Like you said, there is no need (usually) to set references to null in Dispose, as the GC is intelligent enough to figure out that an object has no live references.

An image does not store it's path internally.

Hi,

PictureBox.ImageLocation will be set automatically only by PictureBox.Load(URL).

When you load the image and calculate the thumbnail you could store the filename
yourself in PictureBox.ImageLocation; then you can retrieve it afterwards...

Well, that just plain can't be. Unless some of your panels are sitting inside some of the others ? Then disabling an outer panel will disable the inner one.

You can import any COM dll into .NET and the framework will generate a class you can use to call it's methods. Seems lie a pain tho, what does C++/COM give you ?

U have to install the urdu layout of your keyboard
then install the phonetic keyboard layout (only for your own convenience)

then u have to set your culture at design time or at runtime
and when u run your application u have to select urdu as a keyboard layout

that's all

First in your form's class constructor write this

System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = new
System.Globalization.CultureInfo("ur-PK");
System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = new
System.Globalization.CultureInfo("ur-PK");

actually when u enter any character of any other language .net creates a new resource file for it

u just write the above lines in your code and then run the application or at design time switch your keyboard layout to urdu and type

that's all

Retreving text from treeview problem. [modified]

Cory Borrow4-Jun-07 12:32

Cory Borrow

4-Jun-07 12:32

Ok, I have a treeview and it has the following items in it.

Menu 1
Sub menu 1

Then I call a function to write the items to a file.

But when I open the file it shows

Menu 1
Menu 1
Sub menu 1

Anyone know why it is creating the other Menu item?

Here are the functions.

menu += WriteMenu(menu, treeView1);

string WriteMenu(string menu, TreeView treeView) {
foreach(TreeViewMenuItem menuItem in treeView.Nodes) {
if(menuItem.Nodes.Count > 0) {
menu += menuItem.Text + "\n";
menu += WriteSubMenu(menu, menuItem);
}
else {
menu += menuItem.Text + "\n";
}
}
return menu;
}

string WriteSubMenu(string menu, TreeViewMenuItem menuItem) {
foreach(TreeViewMenuItem subItem in menuItem.Nodes) {
if(subItem.Nodes.Count > 0) {
menu += subItem.Text + "\n";
menu += WriteSubMenu(menu, subItem);
}
else {
menu += subItem.Text + "\n";
}
}
return menu;
}
