Hi,
Can be an easy one for you. 
When I tried to insert a big picture into a small picture box, only a small part of the picture was shown in the box. How can I display the whole picture into the picturebox without changing the box size.

Hi
I would like to know how I can estimate the total physical memory usage (as well as availability) for the entire system, so I can display the usage figures in my application. Is there a class in the .NET framework I can use? If not, is anybody aware of any libraries I can download that contain such a class?
Furthermore, I would like to be able to invoke the GC and collect garbage from all processes running on the system. Again, I would appreciate it if someone could point me to a class that provides these facilities. I have tried using the GC class, but I can only collect garbage for my own application.
Thanks in advance .

You can use WMI to obtain the amount of physical RAM by adding a reference to the System.Management namespace.
You would query the Win32_PhysicalMemory provider.
A quick search on CodeProject showed this article: http://www.codeproject.com/cs/system/GetHardwareInformation.asp
I'm sure that forcing GC on all processes is impossible as not all applications are managed.
I however look forward to reading any other comments.

Hi,
I am working on a Windows based project in Visual Studio.net.
1) I would like to store some documents (like Word, Excel, PPT) in SQL server 2000 and
2) Then show its shortcut as shown in a desktop in a listview.
3) When we click on that shortcut the file should open.
Can somebody please help me with the above 3 scenarios.

3. look to 1., just reassemble the file and run it.

Visual Studio can't evaluate this, can you?
public object moo<br />
{<br />
__get { return moo; }<br />
__set { moo = value; }<br />
}

Hello everyone,
I have a Temparary Text file which is created when the user runs the Windows Application. I also would like to delete this file once the user closes the Windows Application.
Can someone be kind enough to tell me where I need to place the code to remove the file?
File.Delete("theTextFile.txt");
Thank you very much for your help and have a great weekend.

If it's a Form based application, you can do this by overriding the OnClosing or OnClosed methods and putting the file deletion code there.

Hello to all!
i am new to c# and we are required to process the text files, minimum size of 35.4 GB. The tasks we want to acheive are
a. Make the file consistent - by removing unwanted 'return' chars
b. Generate the XML file
c. Load the data in XML file to database (MS SQL Server 2005)
the problem we are facing is, the process is taking massive amount of time, i.e. more than 1 hour to process just 500 MB of the file!!
currently we are just going through the file char by char, and checking if it is a data or '/r' or '/n', which definitly is not the best way to read such huge file...
so, we will definitly like to know the possible ways/techniques with which we can reduce the processing time.
the following is the code we are currently using:
while (read_from_file.EndOfStream != true)
{
read_from_file.ReadBlock(readfile, 0, 1);
temp = readfile[0].ToString();
if (!IsAlphaNumeric(temp) && readfile[0] != '-' && readfile[0] != '_')
{
if (temp == " ")
{
if (token == match_word && first_line_check>1)
{
write_to_file.WriteLine();
write_to_file.Write(token);
}
else
{
write_to_file.Write(token);
}
write_to_file.Write(" ");
token = null;
}
else if (readfile[0] == '\n')
{
write_to_file.Write(token);
write_to_file.Write(" ");
token = null;
}
}
else
{
token = token + temp;
}
}
in code, the variable "match_word" is the data before which we require the new line to be started, '/r' and '/n' at any other place are invalid and must be removed.
also, will "threads" and "reading text file in byte instead of char" be helpful and increase the speed of processing? and will the threaded code will be able to keep the data in same sequence??
and how much can we reduce the processing time?
Thanks in advance

You read from disk char by char? I think reading larger chunks of data at once should be faster. Then again there is probably some caching in TextReader/stream/disc or so, so experiment a bit and measure performance might be good idea.

Thankyou very much....ya i was thinking of experimenting with threads and reading in bytes rather than in chars....but the 1st experiment did it all....the solution from "Guffa" made the process completed in less than 20 MINUTES on the same 35 GB file!!!!!

Actually there is underlying caching.
Anyway, without any doubt, OP's code is by no means optimal.

I am not surprised that the code takes a lot of time to run. You are creating one or two strings for every character you read, so to process a 500 MB file, you will have created about 1000 million string objects.
If you want to remove all line breaks and put line breaks before the keywork, why not simply:
string line;
string newLineMatchWord = "\r\n" + matchWord;
while ((line = inputReader.ReadLine()) != null) {
outputWriter.Write(line.Replace(matchWord, newLineMatchWord));
}
The Replace method returns a reference to the same string if no change was made, so it will only create a new string for lines that actually contain the keyword.
If the file can start with the keyword, you have to add some code to handle that before the loop. As this occurs only once, it should definitely be handled in separate code before the loop, and not inside the loop.

Nice. It's not every day you see a 20000% performance improvement.

Good job, Guffa, but there are to much zeros in your improvement calculation.

If your using VS2005 look at the program.cs file it contains something like the following;
[STAThread]
static void Main()
{
Application.EnableVisualStyles();
Application.SetCompatibleTextRenderingDefault(false);
Application.Run(new Form1());
}
If you look at the Run statement you you'll see here that I'm running form Form1 replace this with the name of the form you want to run at startup.
Prior to VS2005 each form that is elligible for startup will have just the run statement in Main
[STAThread]
static void Main()
{
Application.Run(new Form1());
}
Hope this helps
Mike

Please don't start multiple threads on the same subject.
There is a modify link on your original post if you need to change your post.
Personally, I don't see that this post is any better than the last.
Please read my relpy to your original message.

Make a start on your homework, when you get stuck we'll help you. But we won't do your homework for you. It would be unfair on you, even although by helping you with your homework you get the answer without learning anything it makes my job more secure.
So, some hints to get you started.
You have been given a list of classes, their properties and methods. Those are stubs that you can start writing. Then you just have to fill in the blanks.
