Hi,
when you close a form:
1) do you Hide it or Close it?
2) is it actually gone completely, or do you keep some reference to it somewhere,
say in an ArrayList or List so you know which forms are (or have been) open?

That certainly could be an issue.

we explicitly close it (no HIDING) since the application is fairly large. We have also used memory profiler to monitor objects creation and destruction, and have found that the objects (ie the ones in the application namespace and to a large extent even in the system and system.windows.forms etc namespace ) are getting garbage collected.
One mistake (according to most of these posts) that we do have in our app is that we are forcing a GC.Collect, but would that cause GDI objects to not get collected?
Thanks

Are you running the garbage collector? I would expect that if you create a font object and never dispose of it, the underlying font resource will get released when the object is garbage-collected, but unless you force a garbage collection (generally not a good idea except for diagnostic purposes) that may not happen for awhile.

No, it won't. You have to explicitly call Dispose on it to release the unmanaged resources. The GC will not do this for you.

I would have expected that any of the framework objects that use system resources would have finalize handlers that would free such resources. Obviously if you create your own objects that allocate system resources via API calls you need to free them, but I would expect Microsoft's framework objects should take care of that.

hi prubyholl
its Easy, just go to your Projecty Explorer and right click, select a file system, in the file system view, select the Application Folder and if you see your controls , just right click in them and go to their properties and look for Hidden and select "true", and your controls will be hidden.
Hope this helps
Thanks

hello friends,
i am doing one small project for an company,there they want to store the details of their customer.I finished it.but only thing is in my system i place the Database file in c:\ drive.so,i place the
cn = New OleDb.OleDbConnection("Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=c:\ABS.mdb")
if the company owner wants to change the file location to the current directory means each time he has to change the path or is there any way to tell or define the cuurent directory like VB.
in VB we give &APPPATH& like this any thing in VB.NET.
i am using VB.Net 2005 Professional version.

I'm not shure but I think you want the 'application.startuppath' this is the location on the hard drive where the exe of the programme is stored
If my help was helpfull let me know, if not let me know why.
The only way we learn is by making mistakes.

Hi,
I am not sure if I got you right, but to bind an array to a listbox you can do the following:
Dim arr() as string = {"A", "B", "C"}
Listbox1.Datasource = arr ' -> A, B, and C will be displayed in three items
Hope this helps
