Hi Christian,
I can't remember what was happening with the memory usage, so will run model and check out again.
I was just reading up about the Dispose method when you sent this through (I haven't struck it before). Still a bit unclear on it at the moment. Where you have said "Look for objects you create which have a Dispose method, which you don't call," should I be calling the dispose method on these?
I don't create any bitmaps, but do have a number of objects - some are used as arrays - probably five, of which, two are repopulated every new client i.e. ideally 500000 times during the model. Should these be cleared (dispose) after each client, or can they simply be re-written over, which I assume i was doing? The only other reference to objects is simply as part of some other funcationality e.g.
For a button to quit the programme
Private Sub btnQuit_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object,...
Anyway, I will set the model running, and check it out for the memory.

If you create an object that has a dispose method, you should call it. I realise now this is the VB.NET forum, I don;t think VB supports the using construct, which basically is a bit of syntactic sugar for local objects, that calls dispose for you.
I wrote a video jukebox and it plain died because I had not realsied in those early days of my .NET usage that the GC is not very efficient with large objects that get used for several minutes before being discarded.

It does, since VB 8 (Framework 2.0 / Visual Studo 2005).

Hi Christian.
I am still unsure on the Dispose methods. Are these something I will need to add in to the code when creating the objects, or are they automatically in some objects?
Yes, the GC Garbage Collect has made no difference whatsoever.
I checked the memeory when I ran the mdoel again last night. It starting off with around 133M of Available Physical Memory and as the model went through to about an hour and a half before crashing the Available Memory steadily decreased down to 86, 32, 22. Likewise the Committ Charge increased during the same time.

If the object has a Dispose method, you should call that when you no longer need the object, then set it to null ( just to be sure you don't ever use a disposed object )

Rather simple windows service that has a timer set to 1 minute from NOW and when that time is reached, writes an event log entry. That was the idea, but nothing happens.
Anybody know what i am doing wrong?
<br />
Public Class Service1<br />
Private alarmTime As Date<br />
Protected Overrides Sub OnStart(ByVal args() As String)<br />
' Add code here to start your service. This method should set things<br />
' in motion so your service can do its work.<br />
'Dim a As TimeSpan = Date.Now.Subtract(Date.Today.AddDays(1))<br />
'Dim tomorrow As Date = New Date<br />
'tomorrow = Date.Now.AddDays(1)<br />
<br />
'Me.alarmTime = New Date(tomorrow.Year, tomorrow.Month, tomorrow.Day, 0, 1, 1, 1)<br />
Me.alarmTime = Date.Now.AddMinutes(1)<br />
Me.Timer1.Start()<br />
End Sub<br />
<br />
Protected Overrides Sub OnStop()<br />
' Add code here to perform any tear-down necessary to stop your service.<br />
End Sub<br />
Private Sub Timer1_Tick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)<br />
If alarmTime < Date.Now Then<br />
Me.Timer1.Stop()<br />
Dim MyLog As New EventLog() ' create a new event log<br />
' Check if the the Event Log Exists<br />
If Not Diagnostics.EventLog.SourceExists("SQLBackup") Then<br />
Diagnostics.EventLog.CreateEventSource("SQLBackup", "SQLBackup") ' Create Log<br />
End If<br />
MyLog.Source = "SQLBackup"<br />
' Write to the Log<br />
Diagnostics.EventLog.WriteEntry("SQLBackup", "Event fired at " & CStr(TimeOfDay), EventLogEntryType.Information)<br />
Else<br />
Dim remainingTime As TimeSpan = Me.alarmTime.Subtract(Date.Now)<br />
<br />
'Me.Label1.Text = String.Format("{0}:{1:d2}:{2:d2}", _<br />
'remainingTime.Hours, _<br />
'remainingTime.Minutes, _<br />
'remainingTime.Seconds)<br />
End If<br />
End Sub<br />

Just deleting the data form the database doe snot cause your display page to refresh. Depending on how you are displaying the data you need to handle that yourself after the delete is done.
Your query just removes the data form the DB. You have to either requery to display the data without that record now or at least refresh your page and clear out the data that is displayed.

My suggesting is that once you do the query to delete the record you need to manually refresh the interface to show this.
It depends on bit on how you are filling your interface also. My guess is that if you are doing data binding then you may just be able to refresh the binding-manager to do this. If you are manually reading a record and placing data form the fields into the text properties of your UI then you have to at very least go back through the UI and clear out those text properties to show that the record has been deleted.
If you have a client side record-set that you have used to populate your UI from that is not really going to reflect the changes made int eh DB though until you have redone that read query so your record-set on the client may need to be flushed and refilled to show the change also.
There are so many different ways to do all of this, I can;t really cover them ALL here. I might suggest that you concentrate on searching how to do this keeping in mind the method you are using to read the data and display it in the first place.

i have tried few things but still i am no way near
this is what i have done

I think your problem here is that the dsStudent that you are using still has the data form when that record existed. You need to repopulate that data-set like you did originally once the database is changed. You are not removing data form the data-set, you are removing it by running a query against the database itself. Once you aer done with the delete clear your data-set and repopulate it from the database.

Without seeing the entire solution its hard to tell if this is the BEST way But I say that if it gets your job done then it is a step in the right direction.
My rules are make it work then make it pretty. You now have the 'works' part, now it is up to you to see if the way it works fits well with your overall design and if not, make it pretty I would assume that you are using the LoadData() sub already to load your data in the first place. If not then you might want to consider some refactoring in that area there.
Good luck, glad I could help a bit.

I'm trying to have my program display the PrintDialog and then print out some text. I assumed it would work similar to the open and save dialogs but when I try to double click on the printdialog it refuses to produce an event for when the person clicks the print button.
Can someone explain what is going wrong and how I can print a string of text. thanks
Mike

You need a printdialog and a printdocument. When printdialog's dialogresult=okay use printdocument.print to call the printdocument.printpage-event. There you have to use graphics.drawstring-method to print your string.

Thank you for your help. But I have a follow up question, when I double click on the printdocument I dragged and dropped into the program it creates a subroutine. However, when I run the program and click the print button of the printdialog it doesn't trigger the event. What is the event that the print button triggers?
thanks again,
Mike

|
|
|

printdialog1.document = printdocument1<br />
if printdialog1.showdialog = dialogresult.ok then printdocument1.printpage

Thank you again for your help. But I still don't know what event this code goes into because the printdocument1.printpage event isn't triggered and printdialogs don't appear to allow events.
thanks,
Mike

You put a button somewhere on your form that is usually labeled "print". Put the code in this button's click-event.
This is very basic stuff, you really should get a book, if you don't know how to do that.

Hi!
We are about to add help-functionality to our software. We are interesting in a Assistant like in Office Word. We want to interact between assistand and mainapplication. Like "Press here to open print-dialog" etc.
Anyone know about software we can use for this or anyone can give me an approach of how to code this?
Ofcourse I prefer a 3rd party solution.
Anyone can help?

Do you want it to be two separate applications, or all-in-one?
There are many ways to do this. You could (especially if you use two applications) write a value in a file and let the other program respond.
If you don't want to use two seperate applications you could use two forms, one with a "clippy" (the word assistant) background and transparency set.
Good luck!
|
|
|
|
|
It should be in the same application. But how to interact with the mainapplication from the assistant. As I said a link like "Press here to open printerdialog". And it should open the printdialog.

i am using visual basic .net2005
please can you tell me how to get all of the file names i selected and pressed enter to play them with my application
i tried command$ and commandlineargs
but this give you just on file name
because every file sent to an instance of your application
i tried startupnextinstance
i got just on filename with every instance
but this is very slow way to get all file names
you have to wait all files to be sent
this mean 100 files=100 instance and long time
and above, this give aproblem with application
a messsege is shown(the application has aproblem and has to close)
i want away to get all of the files i selected and pressed enter to play with my application
thgether and in just one time
i think i have to use windows api
but i dont know how
and thank you...
