No, you're telling it to run custom code which will immediately clean up any unmanaged resources.

One of the reasons to not call GC.Collect() that CG hasn't mentioned directly is that when a garbage collection cycle runs, it runs on a different thread than your application. In order for the GC to determine which objects are available for collection, it must freeze your application's main thread. This means that the more time spent in garbage collection, the less time your application has to run.
Eventually, you will start to see performance problems as your application spends more time in a frozen state.
The best option is to ensure that you dispose of objects as early as possible by calling Dispose or by using the using syntax. As you mentioned, setting the object to null is a good way to inform the GC that the object is eligible for collection because it helps ensure that there are no references to that object remaining.
There are a lot of good references on the Dispose pattern and how the garbage collector works. Look at this article, and the references section:

I heared that before but never found a documentation on that topic.
Do you have a link to the docu?
Thanks

Hello,
Apart from the Disposing method (which off course is a "must") you have to make sure that all your delagates are disconnected from your objects.
For example your Usercontrol or Form is connected with a global class over an event, and you close the Form (which calls Dispose as well) or Dispose the Usercontrol manually, you have to disconnect the event in your Dispose method.
The only reason when I use GC.Collect() is when I'm doing memory profiling before a snapshot is done.
Using a memory profiler is what I would also recomend to you, if you whant to be sure that you have no memory leaks.
All the best,
Martin

All,
I've gotten myself stuck on this problem and I can't seem to find a solution.
I have an initial data bound radio button list(rbl) in a table that has an OnSelectedIndexChanged event that fires at the push of a button. Next I have the code that adds a child rbl and a button that would fire a subsequent OnSelectedIndexChanged for the child rbl.
My question is this - How do I set the OnClick event for the dynamically created button?
Yes I know that this could be solved with a tree view control, but I'm forced to write this code in 1.1 which doesn't have this control.
Here is the code -
<br />
public void rbLocation_OnChange(object sender, System.EventArgs e)<br />
{<br />
DBAccess OBJBO = new DBAccess();<br />
DataSet BaseNodeSet = new DataSet();<br />
<br />
Table tbl = new Table();<br />
tbl = tblLoc;<br />
TableRow tr = new TableRow();<br />
TableRow tr2 = new TableRow();<br />
<br />
int numRows = tbl.Rows.Count;<br />
int iteration = numRows + 1;<br />
tbl.Rows.AddAt(numRows,tr);<br />
tbl.Rows.AddAt(iteration,tr2);<br />
<br />
TableCell td = new TableCell();<br />
TableCell td2 = new TableCell();<br />
TableCell td3 = new TableCell();<br />
td.Width = 30;<br />
tr.Cells.Add(td);<br />
tr.Cells.Add(td2);<br />
<br />
RadioButtonList rbChild = new RadioButtonList();<br />
rbChild.Attributes["OnSelectedIndexChanged"] = "rbChild_OnChange()";<br />
rbChild.DataTextField = "Description";<br />
rbChild.DataValueField = "NodeID";<br />
rbChild.ID = "rbChild" + iteration;<br />
rbChild.DataSource = OBJBO.GetBaseNodes(Convert.ToInt32(rbLocation.SelectedValue),3,1,out BaseNodeSet);<br />
rbChild.DataBind();<br />
td2.Controls.Add(rbChild);<br />
<br />
rbLocation.SelectedValue = rbLocation.SelectedValue;<br />
rbLocation.Enabled = false;<br />
btnOK.Visible = false;<br />
<br />
tr2.Cells.Add(td3);<br />
Button bk = new Button();<br />
bk.ID = "btnBack";<br />
bk.Text = "Previous Group";<br />
bk.Attributes["OnClick"] = "btnBack_OnClick()";<br />
bk.Visible = true;<br />
td3.Controls.Add(bk);<br />
<br />
<br />
}

How would I go about setting up an event to happen when a time (input by the user in a specific format) is equal to the system time?
Any help would be greatly appreciated... thanks!
|
|
|
|
|
You can use DateTime.TryParse[^] to parse the inputted time into a DateTime object, then compare it with the system time (DateTime.Now) using the standard == operator.
As for firing custom events, search the following terms: C# custom events.
|
|
|
|
|
First, parse the user input time and convert it to a DateTime object (see Judah's post). Second, set up a timer to generate timing events. You'll need to decide how often you need "tick" events from the timer, i.e. how often you want to check to see if the time specified by the user has expired. Third, when you compare the user's time with the current time, make sure you use the "less than or equal to" operator:
if(userTime <= DateTime.Now)
{
timer.Stop();
}
If you use the equality operator instead, it's possible that the tick event generated by the timer will skip over the point in time in which the user's time is equal to the current time.
Hope this helps.
[EDIT] Oops, I original said to use the "greater than or equal to operator." It needs to be the "less than or equal to" operator given the way I've set up the comparison.

Hi
I know how can i open Combobox dropdown list :
<br />
ComboBox1.DoDragDrop();<br />
But i want to close it programmatically. I want to use it in my custom UserControl like Visual Studio DateTimePicker control. Clicking on it's ComboBox does't cause to openning dropdown list and just show Date Panel.
Tanx.

|

DoDragDrop does not drop down the combo box, it starts a drag-and-drop operation. If you want the combo box list to drop down, use the ComboBox.DroppedDown[^] property. You can close it by setting that property to false, open it by setting the property to true.

Hi,
On some system the showDialogue shows up, on some it is minimized.
I am new to C#, can someone help in showing this dialogue normal.
<br />
public long ShowDialog()<br />
{<br />
long rc = 0;<br />
<br />
try<br />
{<br />
m_dlg = new ScheduleEditor();<br />
if ( m_dlg.Initialize(m_InitData) )<br />
{<br />
m_dlg.StartPosition = FormStartPosition.CenterScreen;<br />
<br />
System.Windows.Forms.DialogResult result = m_dlg.ShowDialog();<br />
switch(result)<br />
{<br />
case System.Windows.Forms.DialogResult.OK:<br />
rc = 0;<br />
break;<br />
case System.Windows.Forms.DialogResult.Cancel:<br />
rc = 1;<br />
break;<br />
}<br />
<br />
m_dlg.EndDialog();<br />
}<br />
m_dlg = null;<br />
}<br />
catch<br />
{<br />
m_dlg = null;<br />
}<br />
GC.Collect();<br />
<br />
return rc;<br />
}<br />

put using System.Windows.Forms at the top, then just use DialogResult.OK, etc.

Why do you need to do this ?
AnilUnni wrote: _dlg.StartPosition = FormStartPosition.CenterScreen;
You can set this on the form itself in the designer.
AnilUnni wrote: m_dlg = new ScheduleEditor();
AnilUnni wrote: m_dlg = null;
In fact, you should have called m_dlg.Dispose(), but, more to the point, why do you have a member if you reset it every time ? Just declare it locally.
A form has a WindowState variable, if the form is minimised, this has been set to minimised somewhere.

m_dlg.WindowState = FormWindowState.Normal;
I did this but still it shows the dialog state minimized.
Is there any other property i need to consider?
|
|

|

Ooops I am sorry., I got it.
private void ScheduleEditor_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
this.TopMost = false;
// make it visible
this.Opacity = 1;
}
Someone was doing a false. Thanks for the suggestion.

Hello everyone,
I am using the following code to get the DVD information. I have realised that in the case that the system has both DVD Drive and CD drive, this code gets the info. of the disc on the both drives.
This means eventhough the DVD Drive is loaded by a DVD Disc, the code still trys to get the info on the CD Disc which is not what I wish to have.
I was wondering if there is anyway that I can only get the DVD drive info and not the CD drive.
Thank you very much and have a great day.

Every morning, we receive an excel file from our client which needs to be opened and read by our application. The problem however, is the filename of this excel file differs every morning (the filename represents the exact time in milliseconds when our client generated their file on each day). If the filename was consistent, I would have no problem opening it, however since the name is never the same, I don't know how to programatically open it.
This file is stored in a directory by itself (the prior days file is moved to a different directory).
So does anyone know how to open this file without knowing the filename?
Thanks.

Yes chris is right. You know all the prior files would be moved to different directory. so use that function to get the files in that directory,and open the file which is having .xls extension (i hope there will be one file in that directory)
Thanks

I'm new at this and am having a problem. I have a one dimensional array with a group of fields filled and need to extract the information in them and list how many times they were used.
Example 1:
int[] numbers = new int[30] {1, 3, 5, 2, 4, 6, 6, 4, 9, 1, 5, 5, 3}
I need to be able to do the following:
Numb // Amount
used: // used:
1 // 2
2 // 1
3 // 2
4 // 2
5 // 3
6 // 2
9 // 1
Can anyone point me in the right direction for the information on how to do this. Any and All help will be appreciated.  ![Rose | [Rose]](https://codeproject.global.ssl.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/rose.gif)

OK, I guess the way to do this, is to use for each to step over your array, and set up a counter for each number you want to track. There are a few ways of doing this, they would include:
create a new array that has the number of elements equal to the highest number in your list, it's an array of numbers, and you set them to 0, and for example, if you find the number 5, you set newArray[5] to be one greater than it was.
Create a struct like this
struct numbers
{
int value;
int times;
}
Then, you create an array of these structs and you find the right one to increment times by.
( the next one is the best )
Dictionary<int, int> times = new Dictionary<int, int>(); // A dictionary is an associative array, we are using numbers, but we can store anything
foreach(int n in numbers)
{
if (!times.KeyExists(n))
{
// Add a key to the dictionary
times[n] = 0;
}
++times[n];
}
Then you can iterate over the keys and use the values to see how many times each one exists.
I suspect this is homework. If it is, then you should do some reading on how the dictionary container works, so you fully understand it. Otherwise, you won't be able to turn the above into code that fully works, nor will you be able to withstand the scrutiny of your teacher when she asks why you did it this way.
