Thanks for your kind consideration. But the problem is that this error occures when I open the file in VS.Net2003 design mode. I not going to deploy the application, I am developing the application at this time. Please help me.

I am writing an application which should have a whole bunch of classes. Depending upon the choices of the user, some of the classes will be actually used and others will not be used. Now I'm worried about garbage collection, since Visual Basic isn't Java.
Is my code below mistaken in that I need to call delete?
<br />
Private Sub Test1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Test1.Click<br />
Dim myScope As ScopeClass = New ScopeClass<br />
Dim stat As Integer<br />
stat = myScope.Init(Me)<br />
stat = myScope.PerformScan(1)<br />
myScope.Close()<br />
End Sub<br />
If I do call a series of classes and I go from one class to another, is there an easy way to have a pointer to the last class I used so that I don't have to know specifically what it was at the point when I want to delete it?
If I can do this, please suggest a code snippet with the proper syntax to do it.
Thanks,
Ilan

The .NET framework has automatic garbage collection and memory management. You can also use the Dispose() and Finalize() methods of classes.
Suggestion for your code - declare your class and counter variables at modular level and instantiate the class when your chosen event is fired e.g.
Option Strict On
....
'module level class declaration
Dim myScope as ScopeClass
'module level counter variable
Dim stat as integer
Private Sub Test1_Click(....) Handles Test1.Click
myScope = New ScopeClass
stat +=1
....
End Sub
Remember to decrement your counter variable if/when you dispose the class (stat -=1).

Thanks for your suggestions.
Question: My Test1_Click is a button, so every time I press the button I get a new instance of the class? (According to the code it should be so.)
When it goes out of scope does the instance hang around in memory?
It seems your use of stat is a counter, but I'm only incrementing it each time I click the button. Should I use Dispose() at the end of the button routine? Is this something I need to consider, or can I just forget it like in Java?

No, if it goes out of scope the instance is no more and the memory is reclaimed.
IlanTal wrote: Should I use Dispose() at the end of the button routine?
You can call the Dispose() method when you no longer need your class. If you call it at the end of your button routine you'll throw a null reference exception if you try to make use of the class later in another sub as you cannot access a disposed object. A basic use of the Dispose() method in your click event would be something like
Option Strict On
Public Class Form1
Dim myScope as ScopeClass 'declare the class
Private Sub Test_Click(...)
'create new ScopeClass instance
myScope = New ScopeClass
'do whatever the ScopeClass needs to do
'call other methods/functions etc
......
'ScopeClass is no longer needed,
'all processing that needed to be done is complete
myScope.Dispose()
End Sub
End Class
Because of the automatic garbage collection of the .NET framework you don't HAVE to call Dispose() but it can be used to manually reclaim memory.

Delete it?? You don't have to delete it. If the instance goes out of scope and there are no references to it, it gets killed automatically.

Hi All!
My windows application uses 3 Access databases, any one of which I update by editing data directly in the DB.
daCgy.Fill(dsCgy, "Accounts")
With 2 databases I have no problem updating single or multiple columns. One DB will update the first 2 columns but no more.
Columns are added to ONLY this DB on the fly, using a number for the header. (1, 2,3, , , ,) The columns are populated with Zeros. The zeros are changed programaticaly to 1.
The Code I use for adding columns is:-
C = "ALTER TABLE Category ADD COLUMN " & t1 & " Short "
After the columns have been created their format shows up in Access as follows:-
Field Size -Long Integer
Decimal Places -Auto
Default Value -0
Required -No
Indexed -No
Can someone please suggest a remedy? (apart from suicide!)

Hi all
I am new to this and found it by accident but was hoping that someone might be able to help me.
I am currently putting together a web page for a driving school that I am setting up. I want to include a page that has a calendar function very similar to that of microsoft outlook in the sence that the NEW customer would be able to click on a date and then a time and a new page opens allowing them to put in their details, credit card, address, name etc, thus booking the lesson.
In order to achieve all this I need the basic code which people keep telling me is simple but doesn't know where to get it from.
Is there a calendar that is available that I can customise, my skills are very basic so it would have to be very close. I have been told that I can get the source for MS outlook calendar but I cant find it anywhere.
Hope someone can help
Paul

ASP.NET has a calendar control, all it does is create a table with links for days, etc.
Paul Ferris wrote: I have been told that I can get the source for MS outlook calendar
Definately not true.
Is your site already data driven ( that is, are you already using a database ) ? A database is obviously required to store and retrieve calendar details. I'm not sure you want a full calendar, you probably want just to show the dates/times that are available for booking ? You don't want new customers to see who else is getting lessons at what time.

Hi Christian,
Yes I obviously will need database capabilities which a mate of mine is dealing with.
You are absolutely right...all I need is for customers to see what is available and then book online. I definately dont want them to see other details for other bookings, however, there must be a process in place for me to view all details of all booking.
Any ideas?
Paul

You'll use a data bound control like a datagrid, and you'll tie it to the results of a database call. So, without a data layer, there's not much you can do.

Hi.
I have an application developed using VB. The application is installed on the server and until recently I was updating it when needed without problems.
Yesterday I had to make new updated to the app. After I completed my updated and release both application and the set up project I removed previous version from the server and ran my new set up. When the set up was complete in the installed projects (Control Panel) I saw my application being installed (takes about 32 mg) but folder in the wwwroot was empty and of course the application didn't work because default and all other files (dlls too) are missing.
Did anyone have such a problem? I think there's something wrong with the permission (IIS) when I install the application. The installer works on my machine and all other machines as well.
There was something installed on the server recently and I think it did something that causes this to happen.
Thanks Alex.

Hello
Can someone direct me to a resource where I can find the codes for the greek alphabet?
I know from experience that the alphabet for greeks comes in more than one flavor. I only have one set of codes in a macro I have written for Word but I know that 2 more exist. The database I am working with will not accept greek characters so I must convert them to the english spelling before I import them. Currently, my macro will not catch greek characters from certain sources because I do not have an exhaustive list of greek codes. Below I have a find and replace for finding betas----ChrW(61538). That code won't find all symbols that look like the beta symbol since some sources have it encoded differently. I have searched in more references than I care to admit. Can anyone help. I just need a reference. Thanks 
Selection.HomeKey Unit:=wdStory
With Selection.Find
.Text = ChrW(61538)
.Replacement.Text = ".beta."
.Forward = True
.Wrap = wdFindContinue
.Format = True
.MatchCase = False
.MatchWholeWord = False
.MatchWildcards = False
.MatchSoundsLike = False
.MatchAllWordForms = False
End With
Selection.Find.Execute Replace:=wdReplaceAll
Selection.WholeStory
Selection.Font.Name = "Times New Roman"

Can someone please help me.
If I right click on a web page I can view source.
Is there a way to do this via code?
Example: FileOpen(1, WebPage, OpenMode.Input)
So basically it opens the web page as a text file. That way I can simply search through the text and pull out the information (using code).
Any help at all would be greatly appreciated. If it's not clear what I'm asking, please please tell me so I can make it a clearer
Thankyou

Hello,
Does anyone out there know how to update the text value of a subitem of a listview and refresh the list to show the changes?
the code I have is:
<br />
Me.listview.SelectedItems(0).SubItems.Item(1).Text = "Something"<br />
Me.listview.Invalidate()<br />
Me.listview.Refresh()<br />
Me.listview.Update()<br />
The setting of the text works, but the invalidate, refresh and update don't seem to update the text displayed to the user. THank you

Hello again,
i'm using a parametric command like this:
odbAdapter.UpdateCommand = New OleDbCommand( _
"UPDATE Operators SET description=@description, today=@today, name=@name, role=@role WHERE id=@id")
How can i see, while debugging, the actual sql statement passed to Access by DataAdapter.Update method?
It looks like there's a mismatch between the column of the table in the database and the columns of the dataset. I can say this because values are saved into db table, but in the wrong columns (precisely, it's a shift).
I need to see the actual statement to point out what's wrong.
Is there anyone who faced this yet?
|
|
|
|

There's n way to see that statement.
But, since OleDb doesn't support named parameters (i.e: "@description"), you have to make sure that they get created in the same order that they would appear in the SQL statement.

Thanks Dave,
so is it my approach wrong?
The fact is that parameters order in SelectCommand, InsertCommand and UpdateCommand is not the same, due to the UPDATE's "WHERE" clause...
For i'm just trying to synchronize an Access table with an user editable Datagrid, can you suggest what the standard ADO.NET way is supposed to be?
|
|
|
|

If this is all you're doing, why are you supplying the SQL commands yourself??
Just give the SELECT command to get the data, then use an OleDbCommandBuilder[^] to create the rest of the commands for you.

Well, let's say it's an ADO.NET newb mistake...
Anyway, using OleDbCommandBuilder it works flawlessly.
Thanks a lot
