What's wrong with the .Dispose() method?
I was using a System.Resources.ResourceSet object for a large resource file, and when I called it's .Dispose() or it's .Close() method, it wouldn't free the memory used by it, even after GC.Collect() on then next line. I finally figured out to assign the value Nothing to it, which freed the memory used by it.

Don't call the GC Collect method unless you specifically know what you doing and why. When the GC Collects, it has to wait for ALL threads running under the .NET Framework to pause. This CAN take a LOOOOOOONG time to do. Only when all the threads are paused can the GC safely do it's job. When it's done, all the threads are resumed.

 Newbie question:
Is there a utility to do this? Can it be done with VB.NET 2003 somehow? I'd like to be able to use pieces of C# sample code, but don't know enough about the differences to use C#.
There seems to be a lot more sample code available for C# than VB.NET.

I found one. Seems to do okay...better than I could do, that's for sure.
FYI, it's a commonly linked page that converts/translates right online, and the page is, of course, written in ASPX - WOOHOO!
Here's the link: http://authors.aspalliance.com/aldotnet/examples/translate.aspx
You just paste your C# code into the text field and it converts.

What does it do if you use an unsafe block to access pointers directly ? Just curious.

i want to find a function takes the mouse for a specific x and y position and click on it
for example if i want to click on the volume icon on the task bar without move the mouse i will order it by the program and i know the x and y position of the volume icon and i will give it to the program and ask it to click or double click

You'd have to P/Invoke the PostMessage function to HWND_BROADCAST the WM_LBUTTONDOWN and MW_LBUTTONUP mouse messages to all top level windows. The wParam of the messages must specifiy which mouse button(s) are involved and the lParam of the messages must contain the coordinates of the mouse click. The low order word is the X Coordinate and the high order word is the Y Coordinate.

Hello All,
I need to compare cells in excel to determine if a combination of three numbers appears within another combination of five numbers (each number is in its seperate cell). I think the code that I have written is partially working, however I am having a problem storing the values of my counter.
For example lets say that these are my 5 number combos:
1 2 3 4 5
1 3 5 7 8
And these are my 3 number combos
1 2 3
2 4 5
1 3 5
Based on the above, 1 2 3 appears once, 2 4 5 appears once and 1 3 5 appears twice. In reality I will be comparing a large number of 3 number combinations compared to the 5 number combos. So far this is the code that I have. j is the row for 3 combos and r is the row for the 5 combos. f is the final value that I will get from my flags:
For j = 2 To 60
Set curCell_7 = Worksheets("Combinations").Cells(j, 9)
Set curCell_8 = Worksheets("Combinations").Cells(j, 10)
Set curCell_9 = Worksheets("Combinations").Cells(j, 11)
For r = 2 To 15
Set curCell_2 = Worksheets("Combinations").Cells(r, 2)
Set curCell_3 = Worksheets("Combinations").Cells(r, 3)
Set curCell_4 = Worksheets("Combinations").Cells(r, 4)
Set curCell_5 = Worksheets("Combinations").Cells(r, 5)
Set curCell_6 = Worksheets("Combinations").Cells(r, 6)
If curCell_7.Value = curCell_2.Value Then
a = 1
ElseIf curCell_7.Value = curCell_3.Value Then
b = 1
ElseIf curCell_7.Value = curCell_4.Value Then
c = 1
ElseIf curCell_7.Value = curCell_5.Value Then
d = 1
ElseIf curCell_7.Value = curCell_6.Value Then
e = 1
End If
' If f equals to 1 then store f to final sum
f = (a + b + c + d + e) / 3
Worksheets("Combinations").Cells(j, 12) = f
Next r
Next j
The problem I am having is storing the value of f. I am sure that this is a simple one but I do not typically code in VB so I am a little unsure of how to store this value and could not determine it from what I read on the internet. Can anyone help me with this? Thanks.

What kind of problem? What do you mean by "unsure of how to store this value"?
Usually, you'd do something like this:
Worksheets("Combinations)".Cells(j, 12).Value = f

Hi
I want to disable any pop up menu that appears when the right button is clicked whenever my program is running..in any application, since each app has its own pop up menu..
vb6 please
|
|
|
|
|
Not going to happen unless to write a system wide mouse hook that captures the right mouse button and does not pass it on to the rest of the system. Also, writing hooks like this is not easily done in VB6.
There's an example of hooking in VB6 here[^].
This is also a BAD idea. Why would you want to kill the context menu is every app? I can't imagine a single purpose...

Fist, lay off the shift key. It makes your post difficult to read.
Now, there is no support for Bluetooth in the .NET BCL. You'll have to P/Invoke the API calls in the Platform SDK. I can't find any useful examples in VB6 or VB.NET. But, the docs on Bluetooth support start here[^].

Hi
I have designed two classes, one called GROUPE which contain two properties and one called GROUPES being a collection of the first one.
I have generated these classes withe the Automatic Class Generator Addin but I obtain an infinite loop between both classes like:
Groupe
-Groupes
--Groupe
---Groupes
----Groupe
--------------------------
Is it correct ?
If not how can I avoid it ?
Thanks

Classes can and occasionally do have "infinite" loops. It really depends on how you are using them.

Hello,
I am making a cleanup wizard that basicly shows the user how to cleanup their computer and then does it for them.
I have run across a problem where i want to delete the temp files, the temp internet files and the history(not as important as it won't free up much space)
I know this is possible because it is done in the windows disk cleanup but i have no idea how to do it. I think it could be done with some API calls but i dont know what they would be.
Can anyone help me out?

i made program to do that if you want i can send you exe file to do it

|
|
|

Thanks for the offer but i really need the souce so that i can learn how to do it in the future. Would you mind sending me the code?
Thanks

what you mean by learn this type of subject not for learn this code for professional if you want the code you can buy it

What is your problem? It's hard to help when you don't give any info.
If you are using Win9x, the temporary internet files and history folders is located in the windir.
If you are using WinXp, those folders are located in
x:\Documents and Settings\Username\Local Settings\
Where
x is the drive letter and
Username is the name of the user account.

I am using win XP
I already knwo that the path is:(for me)
C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\Local Settings\
The problem is that i do not know how to delete the files, from the directory as the directory is readonly, and ihave been experimenting with system io, to do the function here is the code i am experimenting with at the moment:
<br />
Imports System.IO <br />
<br />
Public Class Form1 <br />
Inherits System.Windows.Forms.Form <br />
<br />
Dim files() as String = Directory.GetFiles("Your Path\") <br />
<br />
Dim fl as String <br />
<br />
For each fl in Files <br />
File.Delete(fl) <br />
Next<br />
But i am looking for a way to do it with an api call, i am not sure whether this is possible and if so how to do it.

 You won't believe how difficult it really is! 
You have to do some COM Interop to clear out the History. You can't just delete the files to do this.
I'll put together a little example when I get home tonight.

OK... I've got an example working. It's based on the work by goblins in this[^] article here on CodeProject. The code to actually make the call looks something like this:
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Dim urlHistory As New UrlHistoryClass
Dim obj As IUrlHistoryStg2 = CType(urlHistory, IUrlHistoryStg2)
obj.ClearHistory()
Marshal.ReleaseComObject(obj)
End Sub
You have to make the call TWICE. Once to clear out the History and a second time to clear out the Cached Files History.
The code to make the call HAPPEN looks like this (in C#, I don't have the time to convert it to VB.NET):
using System;
using System.Runtime.InteropServices;
using System.Collections;

It wasen't very accurate when i compiled it it threw about 13 different errors, i guess the converter couldent convert it completley... I know this is asking a lot but could someone translate it for me? I dont know any C# If not i am sure i can find a way to convert it completely
Thanks.
