Sounds like you need to set a flag that you can test to see if your painting should be used everytime the control is Invalidated and test that flag in the overridden OnPaint.
This site[^] has some cool user button codes that you may find useful.

Thank you...

Morning fellow code writers...
I have a try and catch process that is giving me fits...If I eliminate the throw new Exception(ex.Message); line I get an error: Error 3 Use of unassigned local variable 'tbl'.
Can somebody enlighten me as to why this is happening??
catch (Exception ex)
{
MessageBox.Show("The following error occurred :" + ex.Message, Application.ProductName,
MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Information);
string logFile;
string logPath = Application.StartupPath + "\\logs\\";
logFile = (logPath + global.logDate + ".log");
StreamWriter writer = new StreamWriter(logFile, true, System.Text.Encoding.ASCII);
writer.WriteLine(System.DateTime.Now);
writer.WriteLine("[Process #]");
writer.WriteLine("[get data]");
writer.WriteLine(ex.Message);
writer.WriteLine("\r");
writer.Close();
throw new Exception(ex.Message);
}//end of catch
return tbl;
}
}//end of class name
}//end of namespace
TIA

What is this "tbl"?
While (true) { Human.isLearnable = true; }

I guess you always throw an exception in the try block as well. If that's the case, the return statement would never execute and the compiler ignored the fact that you used tbl without assigning a value to it. If you remove the throw statement (either in the catch or in the try block), that line of code would execute and therefore the compiler complains.

I guess you are assigning value to tbl in try block don't you? If an exception occurs then tbl variable can be unassigned so if you remove throw new Exception(ex.Message); from your catch block then the function must return tbl but it will be unassigned hence the error. On the other hand, throwing new exception means that there is no need to return tbl.
By the way, why don't you use log4net[^] for logging purposes?

THX for the tips..

Ignorance....I did not know it existed. I will look into that.

I found NLog[^] more accessible, although it appears not to have been updated for a while. NLog is derived from log4net. The forum is active though and 2.0 is in the works.

Without seeing the rest of your code I'm guessing here.
You have, I guess, declared tbl outside of the try/catch block. Something is assigned to it inside the try block.
When you throw the exception in the catch the compiler knows that return tbl will always have something assigned to it, because in all other instances you are exiting the method before it can return it.
Also, your code contains a bit of a WTF. At the end of your catch you have throw new Exception(ex.Message) - By doing that you are discarding all the information in the current exception (there is a lot more in there besides the message you know). You should retain that information so that you can debug things properly in the future. You have two strategies:
1. throw new Exception(ex.Message, ex);
or
2. throw;
In this situation option #2 is preferable because you are adding no value in #1.
Finally, don't catch Exception, use a specific exception type. Don't throw an Exception either, again, use a specific exception type. If a specific type does not exist then create one.

Thanks for the explanation it has helped alot.

I have implemented option #2 here

That's pretty self explanatory. What is the code that is in the try block? You are attempting to return something for tbl when it has not been assigned anything. Not an error but rather a warning.

Hey guys.
In the try block I am populating a datset and a table(tbl) and doing some other processing then saving the data to disk. All of the code works in the try block.
I set up an exception in the file name that I am saving to to get some error logging going.
the catch is almost a verbatum translation from some older vb code that works fine.

When you declare tbl, you aren't actually assigning anything to it. So, it probably looks something like this
DataTable tbl; Then you are assigning items to it in the try block. What you actually need to do is set it up like this
DataTable tbl = null; or better still, assign it in the try block and return it there. If there's an error then the return is superfluous, and it won't be hit.

I just finished reading a great article on Garbage Collection in the .NET Framework:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/msdnmag/issues/1100/GCI/
This article says that a garbage collection occurs whenever a new object needs to be created and there is not enough room on the heap for it. It says that the garbage collection will clear out the garbage objects to make room for the new object, but what if you have a large number of live (non-garbage) objects and the garbage collector is unable to free enough space for the new object?
Can the size of the heap grow at this point?
If so, what is the heap's default size and by how much will it grow in this situation?
I have searched and I have been unable to find the answers to these questions documented anywhere. There needs to be some official documentation on this.
Thanks,

Yes, you can check it out yourself. Open Perfmon (type perfmon.msc at the command prompt), right click on the graph and select Add Counters, select .NET CLR Memory and select one of the heap related parameters (#Total Committed Bytes, for example). Select your process and click OK. You should be able to watch the GC heap expand as you create more objects and don't release much.
Mogaambo wrote: If so, what is the heap's default size and by how much will it grow in this situation?
I don't the heap's default size (Gen 0 + Gen 1 + Gen 2 + Large Object Heap), I would imagine it would vary by platform (x86 vs x64), workstation vs server etc. The max size of the heap would be restricted to the max virtual memory of a process, which is 2 GB (actually 4, but the OS takes 2) on x86.

I recently read about writing Unsafe code in C#. Can anyone provide me with a simple scenario where this can prove to be useful. I can then implement it to have a better understanding of it.
I also read about stackalloc. It seems to be a very efficient way of using arrays. Still can not see it that prominent in codes. What is reason for that?

When you have to call into unmanaged code.

Because C# has its own managed mechanisms that are safer.

Thanks for reply.

In that case I can create a managed wrapper and consume it. Isn't it going to perform same thing?

Yes. In some circumstances you may wish to write your own wrapper, though IMO C++/CLI is a much better tool for the job in this sitation.

Look for image processing articles. They typically use unsafe code to directly manipulate the bitmap using pointers.

1. The size of the stack is usually 1MB
2. The memory will be lost when the function returns.

Hi ,
I am getting out of memory exception, what i am trying to do is to read 25 text files, all files have over million records, and write them to database.
My approach....
1. Created a list of 25 datatable.
2. Read the column names from text file and add them to DataTable and with their datatype and size.
3. Pass this list to a function whose purpose is to read each file and add records to each of the datatable.
It is just an rough but an important overview.
In between i am running two progress bar.
but i get out of memory exception.
can anybody tell me any other approach......

Your strategy is to dump the entire contents of the files in to memory then write them to the database. Why?
Why not just read the files one-by-one and write them to the database?
