Minimising an app causes the OS to farm a lot of the memory it uses out to disk. It happens with every app.

That’s the OSs memory management and optimization in action
If you minimize an app, it does not need to be as responsive as an active app. So the OS optimizes the situation by moving most of the app data to virtual memory, so the physical memory usage is reduced and that real estate is available for active foreground apps. If you maximize it again, the reverse thing happens.

Your comments are rather nebulous; it's hard to say what is going on without you posting some code.

That could be the infamous "Form not closing"-bug that's caused by child controls being removed from the form while they have focus.
Are you removing controls from your form at run-time?
That could be the problem.
In that case try setting the focus to a control remaining on the form before removing the other one.

I'm currently working on a project using a third-party tool. All of the data I'm working with is handled via MemoryStream for the most part, and in most cases need never be written to disk. (Completed document is streamed to the browser, then the stream discarded.)
Unfortunately, the 3rd-party tool I'm using only operates on files (both input and output.) I'd like to avoid having temp files everywhere if at all possible.
Is there any way through .Net that I can create an old-fashioned RAM disk to do this processing on? It'd be even better if there were a way to have a FAT record point to a memory buffer that already exists instead of having to actually duplicate the data on the RAM disk, but even that's preferable to actual disk I/O.
Thanks for whatever pointers anyone can give me.
(BTW, for those who're interested, or if it makes a difference, the 3rd-party tool I'm working with is GhostScript.)

Not the answer you're directly looking for, but GhostScript is open source, so one solution would be to hack into GS the ability to read your data directly from RAM

True, but I'm on a short timeline, which is the main reason I'm using 3rd-party tools in the first place.
We had found a few 3rd-party solutions for doing what we actually need from ghostscript, but they all have their own problems. In some cases, they can't even render the PDF properly. That's the only reason I'm even looking at anything as low-level as Ghostscript.

Hi Salil
Thank you for your reply! I'm really glad to get something
that I'm looking for a long time. But I get some Syntax Errors
when I try to compile your code. I don't want to change something.
for(int i=0; i **** ; expected******
{ **** invalid expression term'{' *****
Do you got the same Problems??
Regards

Oops since the code had special characters it got garbled. I have mosified the post above, copy-paste the code again. Or see this correction:
<code>for(int i=0; i<entriesread; i++)</code>
Anyways, the code is perfectly working. But if you still get more errors, treat it as an indicative code and build your logic on top of it... The basic idea is to use the NetServerEnum()API I described in earlier post.
If you can't make it work, I am writing a utility for a friend, which scans the network and gives hardware info report, but that will be ready next week. Ping me around next Friday.

Hello, just look this class.
public class MyClass : ArrayList
{
public MyClass ()
{}
public override int Add(object value)
{
return base.Add (value);
}
}
right, how to hide this method or make it private?
I don't want to see this method at intelisense when I call MyClass methods and properties.

I don't think there is any way to hide the method in the manner you describe, and since it is a virtual method of the base (ArrayList) class, there's not really a way to obscure it - the accessibility of public virtual members can't be altered by the inheriting class.
The framework doesn't allow partial implementation inheritance. You could, however, change the behavior of your overridden version of the Add method to keep it from doing anything.
Perhaps a better option might be to create a new class that employs an ArrayList as a private field. You would then be free to manipulate the contents of the ArrayList at your discretion. Of course you lose some polymorphic benefits by doing so. You could also create a new Collection-type class (Add is not a member of the ICollection interface).
The most exciting phrase to hear in science, the one that heralds the most discoveries, is not 'Eureka!' ('I found it!') but 'That's funny...’

As far as I'm aware, it isn't possible to hide a public method inherited from a class lower in the hierarchy.
I'm not sure if the ArrayList as a base class was just for example purposes, but have you looked at derriving from System.Collections.CollectionBase instead? If the CollectionBase still exposes the method that you'd like to hide, the other solution that comes to mind would be to use the ArrayList as a private member of your class and simply wrapper the properties/methods that you'd like to expose.
Hope that helps.

Maybe EditorBrowsableAttribute can help you. It can be use to hide a member of a class from IntelliSense.
int ageval;
[EditorBrowsable(EditorBrowsableState.Never)]
public int Age
{
get { return ageval; }
set
{
if (!ageval.Equals(value))
{
ageval = value;
}
}
}

..please forgive me if my question sounds a bit basic but I am a newbie. One of the projects I've been tasked with is building a web based application that will be able to create questionnaires\surveys. This application will have various controls such as stop, start, address section, radio buttons, tickboxes, conditional boxes\sections etc.... Ideally the end user will be able to choose an element such as name, surname and date of birth as questions in the questionnaire. The user will then choose to release a version of this survey to a webserver where respondants will be able to answer the questions for the data to be collected. The main thinking behind this is that there are non technical staff that need to be able to create surveys\questionnaires without the need for in depth knowlegde of vb script or html, but an application with drag and drop or a point and click functionality would be more efficient. Is there any source code or sample available that could guide me through this? What is the best way to approach this? I have seen one approach where the application in question uses the required controls\objects to create an xml file that is uploaded to the web server which somehow translates the xml file into a set of functional web pages that collect all this data to an sql database. How difficult would that be to do? The name of the application that does this similar thing is called easyqd here is the website http://www.easyqd.com/
whether you believe you can or you can't you will be right

Is it possible to open a child window within an MDI and call some native windows method to run a program within the child window? I am wondering if we can run our legacy application within a window of the correct size but let the legacy application think it is in its own process space.
Is this possible?

Hi all,
Does anyone how can I creat a mapfile for my c# project?
For c++ project it's very easy.
You can do it from Project Settings,
just need to set generation of mapfile in Link Tab.
How can I do the same for c#?
Thanks in advance,
Anna.
