Since I don't know anything about this collection I cannot really say. If the collection is a member variable on your form and you have not deleted the contents then of course the values will be retained so long as the form exists. The collection will be holding references to the objects, and since the object has a reference to it the garbage collector won't touch it.

I forgot to mention that collection is declared as shared and i did figured out that this is the problem. But i cannot declare collection as instance of the class. But i want to destroy the collection with the instance of the class. so i tried c.col =nothing (col is collection type property). But the next time i click on the button it gives object reference error whcih is understandable since shared are not instance specific. So the now the class is initialized but the shared collection is already set to nothing.
What should i do so that the collection is destroyed along with the instance of the class or is there a datatype that works like shared but is destroyed when the instance is destroyed.
Collection is declared in the declaration part.

I don't understand why the collection is shared. If you want to destroy the shared collection with an instance of the class (i.e. any instance of the class) then it would affect all instances of the class.
Have you considered just emptying the collection? Or assigning a new collection object to the shared member variable. You could encapsulate this by creating, say, a Reset() method that either empties the collection, or assigns a new collection to the shared member variable. This would mean that there is at least a collection object, even if it doesn't have any items in it.

I am using below code for drawing lines on picturebox. I am able to change color in it but when i have passed width as parameter with color in paint event then it gives "Out of memory Exception". I can't understand if color is working then why width is not working in paint event. If i pass static 1 then only it works.
Code:
Enum PathColor
BLUE1 = 0
blue2 = 1
blue3 = 2
blue4 = 3
GREEN1 = 4
green2 = 5
green3 = 6
green4 = 7

red2 = 9
red3 = 10
red4 = 11
white1 = 12
black1 = 13
End Enum

blue4w = 3

Hi;
I do not have a definitive answer for you. What I believe is happening is when you go to draw with the e.Graphics.DrawPath function, that function fails with the “out of memory” exception. I believe there are too many points in the GraphicsPath object. You can prove this fore yourself by storing the start X and Y during mouse down event and add the line during the mouse up event to the GraphicsPath . You will only have two points for each line but the program will work. The only difference between the two is the number of points in GrapthicsPath.
One other points, the variable path( , ) should only be a one dimensional array such as path(13) would work fine.
I hope this was of some help.

Hi I have a program which is a gui for a command line program. The command line program calls ntvdm. Heres the part I need help with.
I have redirect the output to a textbox this works fine as long as I don't run the functions that use ntvdm.exe if I do then the output will not redirect until the end of it processing (can be a very long time) while if I run the command line with the gui it prints directly to cmd.exe as it goes.
Pretty much I was wondering if anyone knows how to get the output to show up line for line when it uses ntvdm.exe?
I've tried everything and need help (well everything I can think of)

NTVDM is the NT Virtual DOS Machine and every DOS application, or 16-bit Windows 3.1 app, run in it. What do you by "using the functions in ntvdm"? If your application writes directly to the screen buffer, there's no way your going to capture the output using redirected streams because the output isn't being shown using the standard console streams.

okay the program uses the nt dos for some functions then passes the output over. So I guess I won't be able to capture it until its done. 
was worth a try thanks for your help

Having a weird problem. On some of my forms, my textboxes are appearing flat with a blue border around them instead of fixed3d. My property for the textbox says BorderStyle Fixed3D. I'm using vb.net 2003. Anyone come accross this problem?

I checked the solution and everything looks proper. I forgot to mention that this weird behavior happens only to some of my testbox's not all of them?

Are u using WindowsXP?? because the XP theme for textboxes is flat with blue border.
If u enable using XP visual styles
Application.EnableVisualStyles()
then u will get that style, even if u set the BorderStyle property to Fixed3D.
Hope this helps

Nope, don't have that code in my programs.

5 from string " asdcxxv (5)". Thanks.

A regular expression, like "\((\d*)\)".
This will match any digits within brackets, and put them into match group 1.

I mean, I want to get the number within brackets. I couldn't find any VB function to get the position of "(" character in the string. I'm looking something like indexOf, Find, or something like that. I'm using VB6.

You don't have regex in VB6 ? I thought you did. I'm sorry, I don't use any variety of VB, I have certainly never installed VB6. I hope someone else can help you.

Read MSDN on use of InStr function. It can be used to search strings for any character.

Hi Yulianto,
try this thing,
Dim Str, StrValue, StrTemp As String
Dim PosStart, PosEnd As Integer
Str = "asdcxxv (5)"
PosStart = InStr(Str, "(")
StrTemp = Mid(Str, PosStart + 1)
PosEnd = InStrRev(StrTemp, ")")
StrValue = Mid(StrTemp, 1, PosEnd - 1)
MsgBox StrValue
hope this helped you

I am trying to create a customeizable unix style program launcher
(for those of you who dont know unix, it is a lot of 3d cubes sitting in clusters)
using a MDI container to launch the programs in.
is it possible to launch a external program (MSWord for instance) inside a MDI container as a child? if so, how??
Thanks a lot.

What are the limitations of custom controls in VB.NET?
Is my imagination the limit?

No, your ability to code them in such a way that they are responsive and useful is the limit.

but I can create one from scratch correct?
hypothetically I can create a custom control
that looks like nothing anyone has ever seen?
I guess I am trying to ask if I am limited to
only inheriting controls that already exist
within the .Net Framework. I can create base
controls myself and build on them right?
|
|
|
|

You can inherit from a base Control class that does nothing, and then you'll be responsible for all painting and event handling, meaning you can create a control that does whatever you like. However, unless you have a strong need to do otherwise, you should base your controls on existing ones ( for example, a text box that validates input should just look like a normal text box at first glance ), so that your users are not confused.
