I have a figure that I want to fill with black color, but it don't work!!

private void button11_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{

System.Drawing.Graphics formGraphics = null;
System.Drawing.Pen myPen;
formGraphics = pictureBox7.CreateGraphics();
myPen = new System.Drawing.Pen(System.Drawing.Color.Black,1);

formGraphics.DrawLine(myPen, 4, 4, 50, 4);
formGraphics.DrawLine(myPen, 4, 4, 4, 100);
formGraphics.DrawLine(myPen, 50, 4, 50, 100);
formGraphics.DrawLine(myPen, 4, 100, 27, 120);
formGraphics.DrawLine(myPen, 50, 100, 27, 120);

SolidBrush Brush = new SolidBrush(Color.Black);
Point point1 = new Point(4, 4);
Point point2 = new Point(50, 4);
Point point3 = new Point(4, 4);
Point point4 = new Point(4, 100);
Point point5 = new Point(50, 4);
Point point6 = new Point(50, 100);
Point point7 = new Point(4, 100);
Point point8 = new Point(27, 120);
Point point9 = new Point(50, 100);
Point point10 = new Point(27, 120);

Point[] curvePoints = new Point[]
{
point1,
point2,
point3,
point4,
point5,
point6,
point7,
point8,
point9,
point10,
};
formGraphics.FillPolygon(Brush, curvePoints);

myPen.Dispose();
formGraphics.Dispose();

}

Any idea?

So I'm doing something like :

[Category("Visual"),
DefaultValue(XXXX)
]
public Color MyColor { get{..} set{..} }

What should I put in XXX to get my color initialized correctly .. whatever I put in it, I get a wrong value or color !!

Cheers,
MrPink

Memory Management

I am using mid form in a windows forms application. Every time I am loading new child windows memory is going up(it’s ok). When I close them memory is not coming down. I am disposing child windows as they close.

Why is this happening ?

What is the solution for this problem ?

What are the best practices for memory management.

Thanks

If you are using task manager to detect memory usage, what you are seeing is the programs working set and not the atuall memory usage.

You say you are using the Dispose method as you close windows. But do those child windows use any resources that are not automatically disposed?

Contrary to popular belief, .NET's automaticall memory management does not imply immediate 100% resource cleanup. Some resources have to be cleaned up manually to decrease memory footprint at any given time since the garbage collector funtions in a non-deterministic way.

I don’t have any other resources in them . say if I have 20 child windows even after I close all of them, Task Manager dose not reflect it , till I close the MDI main.

Is Task Manager showing the correct memory ?

Any other tool to track memory ?

Task manager show the program's working set, not the actual memory consumption at a given time. You can see this bi minimizing and then restoring your application. Task Manager refreshes the value and usually the new value is much less than the original one.

Although it is not a recommended practice, you can try forcing a garbage collection through GC.Collect().

I'm interested in knowing too.

The only other technique I know, and have used before, is to embed a blank database into the assembly and write it out to file using a binary stream whenever a new database is needed. I know, its ugly and bad, but it works. Though if you want to be able to create for different Access versions you'd need to embed each one, which is even more ugly and bad.

Also, you can use Interop to access ADOX from C#.

I think you have to send SQL statement to Access. (CREATE DATABASE) You can do it in this way with ado.net.

Here's my ghetto xml (byteFile1.xml)...

<?xml version="1.0"?>
     <Bytes>
          <byte1>
               <one>00</one>
               <two>01</two>
               <three>02</three>
               <four>03</four>
               <five>04</five>
               <six>05</six>
               <seven>06</seven>
               <eight>07</eight>
          </byte1>
          <byte2>
               <one>21</one>
               <two>15</two>
               <three>12</three>
               <four>11</four>
               <five>05</five>
               <six>01</six>
               <seven>08</seven>
               <eight>04</eight>
          </byte2>
          <byte3>
               <one>02</one>
               <two>00</two>
               <three>10</three>
               <four>18</four>
               <five>81</five>
               <six>05</six>
               <seven>06</seven>
               <eight>07</eight>
          </byte3>
     </Bytes>

now here's the code I process it with...

int nOutNum;

XmlDocument xmlDoc=new XmlDataDocument();
XmlNode bit;
string NUM;
xmlDoc.Load("byteFile1.xml");
bit=xmlDoc.SelectSingleNode("//Bytes/byte1");
NUM=bit.InnerText;

this.labelCell.Text=NUM;


nOutNum=short.Parse(NUM, NumberStyles.AllowHexSpecifier);
NTPort.Outport(nAddress, (short)nOutNum);

Now, what I want to do is go though each node i.e. (one, two, three.... eight) one at a time, and on each one do the above code.

but make ....

bit=xmlDoc.SelectSingleNode("//Bytes/byte1");

unique to the specific node were on in the loop...

like if were on the one in bold...

<byte1>
     <one>00</one>
     <big><two>01</two></big>
     <three>02</three>
     <four>03</four>
     <five>04</five>
     <six>05</six>
     <seven>06</seven>
     <eight>07</eight>
</byte1>

then change it to...

bit=xmlDoc.SelectSingleNode("//Bytes/byte1/two");

so, it sounds reall confusing... I think all I need is a for loop or somthing... but the changing of the SelectSingleNode thing ruins me...

PLEASE HELP@!@!#@$K Blush | :O

for (b=1; b<=8; b++)
{
baseBytes="//Bytes";
basebyte1="/byte"+b2;
baseCell="/b"+b.ToString();
baseFULL=baseBytes+basebyte1+baseCell;

XmlDocument xmlDoc=new XmlDataDocument();
XmlNode bit;

xmlDoc.Load("byteFile1.xml");
bit=xmlDoc.SelectSingleNode(baseFULL); //Bytes/byte1/b2
NUM=bit.InnerText;
nOutNum=short.Parse(NUM, NumberStyles.AllowHexSpecifier);
NTPort.Outport(nAddress, (short)nOutNum);
MessageBox.Show("Cell: "+b.ToString()+" illuminated"+"\nByte #"+b2.ToString());

if(b==8)
b2++;
if(b==8)
b=0;

}
MessageBox.Show("LOOP ENDED");
