Hi Richard,
Thanks a lot for this very complete answer.
I've removed the finalizer and implemented the IDisposable as you suggested. I like the DisposableObservableCollection proposal. It looks very neat this way.
Unfortunatly this doesn't solve the problem. The leak is just as bad as before, with Image/BitmapImage and MemoryStream never being freed. It has probabably something to do with the fact that the MemoryStream.Dispose() doesn't do anything like explain on this page.
In the end the code looked like this:
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Collections.ObjectModel;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.IO;
using System.Linq;
using System.Runtime.CompilerServices;
using System.Windows;
using System.Windows.Media;
using System.Windows.Media.Imaging;

internal class ToyItem : INotifyPropertyChanged, IDisposable

{
PropertyChanged?.Invoke(this, e);
}
public void OnPropertyChanged([CallerMemberName] string propertyName = "")
{
OnPropertyChanged(new PropertyChangedEventArgs(propertyName));
}
public event PropertyChangedEventHandler? PropertyChanged;
#endregion
public void Dispose()
{
if (Data is BitmapImage image)
{
image.StreamSource.Dispose();
}
Data = null;
}
public static ImageSource? BitmapFromRaw(byte[]? imageData)
{
if (imageData == null) return null;
var image = new BitmapImage();
var mem = new MemoryStream(imageData, false);
image.BeginInit();
image.StreamSource = mem;
image.EndInit();
image.Freeze();
return image;
}
public ImageSource? Data
{
get { return _Data; }
set
{
if (value != _Data)
{
_Data = value;
OnPropertyChanged();
}
}
}

I do a lot of image manipulation in UWP; but create an image from my "pixel buffer" instead of holding unto streams when I display it. I think you said you didn't want to use an image / jpg.

Indeed, my application is a desktop application and a pixel buffer is not really what fits in here... I do get images from TagLib# or ZeroFormatter as a byte[] (or any other chunk of raw data type you may convert it to).

While Dispose doesn't release the buffer of the MemoryStream, it is possible to do so as long as it is not closed - and you created it so it is expandable (even though you want to do the opposite).
stream.Length = 0;
stream.Capacity = 0;
This will clear the internal buffer and allow it to be garbage collected.
You can of course also make your own Stream implementation that wraps a MemoryStream - then you can clear the reference to the MemoryStream on dispose. A bit tedious with the many methods in a stream, but not exactly difficult.

Thanks for your answer.
I've tried the fllowing:
stream.Length = 0;
stream.Capacity = 0;
But I coudn't access those properties from a MemoryStream.
So I've actually followed your advice and developped my own Stream implementation. This allowed to track what was called at least. This unfortunately didn't solve the problem. I could only see that the Close() function was called, that I could clear the Buffer that was stored there. However the finalized never gets called, giving a hint that the parent ImageSource or Image never get freed either.
Moreover, using my own Stream prevents me from freezing the ImageSource (I don't know why).
Here follows the implementation of the Stream I used:
public class ManagedMemoryStream : Stream
{
private int Id;
private static int Index = 0;
private static int Counter = 0;
private byte[]? Buffer;
public override bool CanRead => true;
public override bool CanSeek => false;
public override bool CanWrite => false;
public override long Length => _Length;
private long _Length;
public override long Position { get; set; }
public override void Close()
{
System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine($"ManagedMemoryStream: Close {Id} / {Counter}");
base.Close();
Dispose(true);
Buffer = null;
}
public ManagedMemoryStream(byte[] buffer)
{
Id = Index++;
System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine($"ManagedMemoryStream: Construct {Id} / {++Counter}");
Buffer = buffer;
_Length = Buffer.Length;
}
~ManagedMemoryStream()
{
System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine($"ManagedMemoryStream: Finalize {Id} / {--Counter}");
Dispose(false);
}
public override void Flush()
{
System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine($"ManagedMemoryStream: Flush {Id} / {Counter}");
}
public override int Read(byte[] buffer, int offset, int count)
{
if (count == 0 || Buffer is null) return 0;
int remaining = (int)(Buffer.Length - Position);
if (count > remaining) count = remaining;
Array.Copy(Buffer, Position, buffer, offset, count);
Position += count;
_Length -= count;
return count;
}
public override long Seek(long offset, SeekOrigin origin)
{
throw new NotImplementedException();
}
public override void SetLength(long value)
{
throw new InvalidOperationException();
}
public override void Write(byte[] buffer, int offset, int count)
{
throw new InvalidOperationException();
}
}
|

Strange, I see Length and Capacity exposed here:
Reference Source[^]
and they are on the interface, so short of throwing NotSupportedException or similar they should not be able to stop you.
The finalizer not being called is expected - not as in "it should not be called", but as in "if it had been called the original code you had would not leak"
I have no idea why your stream stops the image freezing. There might have some "magic" detecting if it is an instance of MemoryStream - for example kicking it into synchronous initialization, but that is not something I have looked into for many years.

I have eventually found a "solution" to this problem.
Be prepared: that empirical solution makes no real sense, but this works...
Solution was to go through the following convertions:
- byte[] to Bitmap using GetConverter;
- Bitmap redrawn to a new Bitmap using GDI+ Graphics
- Bitmap to byte[] again using ImageConverter
- byte[] to ImageSource using the previously mentioned BitmapFromRaw Method.
Any attempt to simplify this code lead to the memory leak to come back.
No clue how this could be the way to get the GC do its job. Like in relativity, the shortest path is not always the straight one...
Here is the the extra code that works for me. It makes my eyes bleed and I'm not proud of it. So again, if anyone could get something cleaner working, please propose.
public static ImageSource? BitmapFromRawNoLeak(byte[]? imageData)
{
if (imageData == null) return null;
ImageSource? image = null;
TypeConverter tc = TypeDescriptor.GetConverter(typeof(Bitmap));
using (Bitmap? bmp = (Bitmap?)tc.ConvertFrom(imageData))
{
if (bmp == null) return null;
bmp.SetResolution(96, 96);
using (Bitmap source = new Bitmap(bmp.Width, bmp.Height))
{
if (source == null) return null;
using (Graphics g = Graphics.FromImage(source))
{
g.InterpolationMode = System.Drawing.Drawing2D.InterpolationMode.HighQualityBicubic;
g.DrawImage(bmp, 0, 0, bmp.Width, bmp.Height);
}
ImageConverter converter = new ImageConverter();
var vect = (byte[])converter.ConvertTo(source, typeof(byte[]));
image = BitmapFromRaw(vect);
image?.Freeze();
}
}
return image;
}

I use WriteableBitmap (the UWP version) without any issues.
Maybe it can help you (the other version).

Thanks Gerry.
I've tried to apply your tip, but to be honest, I couldn't find the way to make this WriteableImage from a byte[] array. This byte[] doesn't contain raster bitmap, but a jpeg-formatted data.

HI yall,
I am using MahApp library for nice Office like top level windows.
For that one has to add MahApp resource dictionary in the App.xaml dictionary.
Also, to be fair, in a bout of excessibve enthusiasm I started reference MahApp brushed and color in a some of my control as well.
Now, I dont really like MahApp style on some control I havent used so far, like GroupBox and, yuk, TabControl.
Is there an easy way I can restore the original TabControl style, while also keeping the MapApp resource dictionaries in my App.xaml merge ditionaries?

I got a custom image loading markup extension, which I use like so:
<Image Source="{gxv:ImageResource Resources/Images/expand.svg}" Height="16" Width="16" />
And this works fine.
However, when viewing or editing the Xaml in Visual Studio I got designer warnings, like so:
Error XDG0062 Cannot locate resource 'resources/images/expand.svg'. D:\MyGIT\brpworld\RPGStoryboards.Extensions\Map\ImagePicker.xaml 105
How could I get rid of those warnings?
Or, even better, could I load those picture at design time?

I have a TextBox bound to a decimal. I'm using Clifford Nelson's [^] Number Only Behaviour for WPF.
I added a DP to toggle allowing decimals called AllowDecimals, but I've found a problem, andit's NOT with Clifford's code. And it only happens when BOUND to a property.
First, here's the OnTextInput
private static void OnTextInput(object sender, TextCompositionEventArgs e)
{
bool allowDecimals = GetAllowDecimals((Control)sender);
if (allowDecimals && e.Text.Any(c => c.Equals('.')))
{
}
else
{
if (e.Text.Any(c => !char.IsDigit(c)))
{
e.Handled = true;
}
}
}
As you can see by the comment, if I turn on AllowDecimals and type a '.', the code hits where it should, but I don't see it in the TextBox.
If I type some digits THEN arrow over in between two digits and type a '.', then it's accepted.
I beleive the problem is that the binding is trying to parse the value and somehow discards or swallows the decimal point.
The WPF ToolKit has a DecimalUpDown control. I don't really want to bring in that entire library just so I can enter a decimal point.
Anyone have a workaround or fix for this?
If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
Everything makes sense in someone's mind.

I assume there is a reason why you are not using the numericupdown control and removing the U/D arrows. I would think changing the style from decimal to integer should be possible.

As end users we download several Gb for Warcraft. 1.5 Mb was noticable in the dial up era; but these days your average webpage pulls in more.
Also, you're using a dot as a decimal-separator. The system may be set to use a comma.

I have a UserControl with a data grid that I'm creating in code in a View Model. It looks like this [^]. I'm trying to set the Cell Style to show 2 decimal from the VM but you can see it's not working.
The first column is a string, and the remainder are Decimal.
Here's my Cell Style
<Style x:Key="dataGridCurrencyCellStyle"
BasedOn="{StaticResource dataGridCellStyle}"
TargetType="{x:Type DataGridCell}">
<Setter Property="Width" Value="75"/>
<Setter Property="TextBlock.TextAlignment" Value="Right"/>
<Setter Property="TextBlock.Text" Value="{Binding StringFormat={}{0:0.##}}"/>
<Setter Property="IsEnabled" Value="{Binding DataContext.AreFieldsEnabled, ElementName=budgetControl}"/>
</Style>
Here's how I'm creating the table in the VM and setting the Style. The Style is set in the foreach loop towards the bottom.
private void LoadTable()
{
if (Budgets.Count > 0)
{
BudgetTable = null;
BudgetTable = new DataTable();
DataColumn column = new DataColumn();
column.ColumnName = "Type";
column.DataType = System.Type.GetType("System.String");
column.ReadOnly = false;
BudgetTable.Columns.Add(column);
List<string> planElevations = new List<string>();
switch (BudgetType)
{
case BudgetType.Job:
var sheets = JobSequenceSheets.Where(x => x.Status == "New").ToList();
planElevations = sheets.Select(x => $"{x.Plan}{x.Elevation}").ToList();
break;
case BudgetType.Project:
planElevations = ProjectPlanTypeSummaries.Select(x => $"{x.Plan}{x.Elevation}").ToList();
break;
default:
throw new ArgumentException("Unhandled CASE statement");
break;
}
foreach (var planElevation in planElevations)
{
column = new DataColumn();
column.ColumnName = planElevation;
column.Caption = planElevation;
column.DataType = System.Type.GetType("System.Decimal");
column.ReadOnly = false;
BudgetTable.Columns.Add(column);
}
DataGridColumns = new ObservableCollection<DataGridColumn>();
string[] columnNames = (from dc in BudgetTable.Columns.Cast<DataColumn>()
select dc.ColumnName).ToArray();
foreach (string item in columnNames)
{
Binding binding = new Binding(item);
string styleName = "";
if (item == "Type")
{
binding.Mode = BindingMode.OneTime;
styleName = "budgetGridCellStyle";
}
else
{
binding.Mode = BindingMode.TwoWay;
binding.UpdateSourceTrigger = UpdateSourceTrigger.PropertyChanged;
styleName = "dataGridCurrencyCellStyle";
}
var style = Application.Current.FindResource(styleName) as Style;
var col = new DataGridTextColumn()
{
Header = item,
Binding = binding,
Visibility = Visibility.Visible,
CellStyle = style
};
DataGridColumns.Add(col);
}
foreach (var budget in Budgets)
{
AddRow(budget);
}
}
}
DataGrid XAML
<DataGrid Grid.Row="1"
x:Name="budgetGrid"
Style="{StaticResource dataGridStyle}"
GridLinesVisibility="All"
ItemsSource="{Binding BudgetTable, Mode=TwoWay, UpdateSourceTrigger=PropertyChanged}">
<i:Interaction.Behaviors>
<cls:ColumnsBindingBehaviour Columns="{Binding DataContext.DataGridColumns,

If the way you're doing it works without side-effects, that's the right way to do it.

I have a... an unusual control (its a container for visuals), to which I just added a TextBox (user can click somewhere and add some text).
This control also listen to Key down event and on 1,2,3,4 it does something.
Now the problem is, it also happens when the user is typing in the TextBox, which is less than ideal, to say the least.
I can see that the KeyEventArgs.OriginalSource is different from KeyEventArgs.Source (my container), could I use that reliably perhaps? Any other tips?
