Thanks Guys for your prompt reply 
Just one doubt remains...??!!!
Now i dispose off the control which was subscribing the event. But if the event it self isnt unregistered first will that result in a reference to this event still remaining in memory even though the subscriber has been de-allocated
Ot will the GC take care of that too...
Just thinking out aloud...

Deallocating memory and unregistering event handlers are not the same thing. The proper way to handle this is unregister the event handler inside your own Dispose method, which involves properly implementing the Dispose pattern.

The proper way to do this is to place the code to unregister the event handler in the Dispose method.
I'm going to assume that GridVoucher is not a custom control, user control, or form, and is, instead, a standard UI control (like a listbox). That being said, the form (or user control) that contains this control will have a Dispose method (if you are using VS2005, look in the .Designer.cs file for it). This method should look something like this:
protected override void Dispose(bool disposing)
{
if (disposing && (components != null))
{
components.Dispose();
}
base.Dispose(disposing);
} You need to modify this method to look similar to this:
protected override void Dispose(bool disposing)
{
if (disposing && (components != null))
{
components.Dispose();
}
if (disposing)
{
if (GridVoucher != null)
{
GridVoucher.Click -= GridVoucher_Click;
}
}
base.Dispose(disposing);
}What this does is tell the Garbage Collector (GC) that when the form (or user control) is disposed (and not running as part of a finalizer, which is another part of the garbage collection process) that it also needs to remove the event handler if the GridVoucher object exists and is not null.

If you are using VS2005, it is safe to modify the Dispose method in the .Designer.cs file. Otherwise, you are right and may have an issue (it's been too long since I've used the earlier versions so I'm not 100% sure if they will overwrite the Dispose method when regenerating the designer generated code).
Rome` wrote: GridVoucher.Click -= new (GridVoucher_Click); be enough
If you double check the code in my previous post, you will see that I am actually calling GridVoucher.Click -= GridVoucher_Click;. There is no new call. Technically, the GridVoucher.Click -= new(GridVoucher_Click); is creating a new event handler delegate with the same signature as the previous one and then unregistering it, which ultimately causes both to be unregistered. It's a little bit quirky that you can do this, but it does work. However, the better approach is to use the GridVoucher.Click -= GridVoucher_Click; syntax as this prevents an additional object from being created. Remember, this is all happening as the class is being disposed, so you want to make sure things happen as quickly and efficiently as possible. You should avoid creating new objects inside the Dispose whenever possible.

I know VS03 doesn't touch dispose within a form after the initial creation, so I'd assume it's safe for a control as well.

Hello Scott,
As I read this post two weeks ago, I was really impressed about the possiblity to unregister events without instanciating a new event handler delegate. (So I voted "5" for it)
I now whanted to test it in my application with a System.Windows.Forms.Timer.Tick event and found out that it's not compiling. 
I'm using VS2003 .Net1.1!
tmrSession.Tick -= new EventHandler(tmrSession_Tick); //compiles fine
tmrSession.Tick -= tmrSession_Tick; //error: blablabla... usage without quotation mark
tmrSession.Tick -= "tmrSession_Tick"; //does of course not compile and makes no sence at all. (string confersion to ...)
Hope you can help me out!
Thanks for your time and help!
All the best,
Martin

Martin,
Can you provide the actual error message? I don't have access to VS2003 anymore, but this syntax should work.
Adding the event handler should be tmrSession.Tick += new EventHandler(tmrSession_Tick); and removing the event handler should be tmrSession.Tick -= tmrSession_Tick;
It is possible that .NET 1.1 didn't support this syntax, but I don't think that is likely since this is really just delegate management and I don't think the underlying architecture changed much between .NET 1.1 and 2.0.
Scott.

Hello Scott,
Thanks again for your time!
I only have German version of VS2003, so I have to tranclate it in my words. 
There is a reference on the method 'tmrSession_Tick(object, System.EventArgs)' without the usage of quotation marks!
Regards
Martin

Could you post (or email) the relevant snippets of code? Even though I don't have VS2003 anymore, I might be able to see if the code looks correct. I verified with the System.Windows.Forms.Timer object that I can do the following with VS2005:
this.timer1.Tick += new EventHandler(timer1_Tick);
this.timer1.Tick -= timer1_Tick; Thanks,
Scott.

Hello Scott,
Thanks for your quick answer and interest.
But I did exactly the same you posted and failed at compilation like posted before.
I don't whant to waste your time anymory, but I'm really thankfull that you tried to help me.
I relly think now that VS2003 doesn't support this feature!
May I have a quick look at google.
All the best,
Martin

Martin,
It does sound like VS2003 does not support this syntax. Sorry I wasn't able to help you resolve the problem, but it certainly wasn't wasting my time. If you are able to find out if this syntax works I would definately like to know.
Thanks,
Scott.

I have created the datarelation from the datatables of dataset. but i don't know how to bind the resultset of datarelation to the datagrid control.
please let me know.
thanks in advance
|
|
|
|
|
I'm just using :
this.myDataGrid.DataSource = myDataSet;
|
|
|
|
|
this.myDataGrid.DataSource = myDataSet;
only the first datatable of the dataset will be assigned to the datagrid if we use the above syntax. But i have to use the datarelation of the dataset. what should do for that?
thanks a lot for your response.
thanks in advance

I have used bit datatype in sql. So it would be 0 or 1 which seems to translate nicely to true and false which is what you need for a checkbox.
Hope that helps.

Dear gurus,
I have the following problem.
After building my project, I want to copy in a "post-build-step" files from anywhere to my exe-directory. But I only want to copy if files are not present already or if files are newer.
Can anybody give me a hint how to perform this?
Thank you in advance

Make your post build step a program that does exactly what you want.

Can anybody pleae explain me , if possible with exmamples, the different purposes of using SyncRoot property and Synchronized methods?
|
|
|
|
|
SyncRoot Property:
Gets an object that can be used to synchronize access to the collection.
public virtual object SyncRoot {get;}
Property Value:
An object that can be used to synchronize access to the collection.
Synchronized Methods:
Synchronisation plays an important role in multithreaded applications where the threads are not independent of each other and share common resources. This is because if two threads share common resources and try to manipulate the resources simultaneously, the resources become inconsistent. To tackle such situations synchronisation provides a lock on the resource that is shared among threads and makes a thread wait until the other thread finishes the job with the resource. Thus synchronisation ‘locks’ the shared resource and prevents another thread from using it.
C# provides a lock keyword to lock the shared object or resource. Whatever is written inside the parenthesis following the lock keyword gets locked for the current thread and no other thread is permitted to obtain the lock on that resource or object. We can write an expression that evaluates to an object, or just the object on which we wish to have a lock, inside the parenthesis. Whatever the expression may be, the result should be a reference type. The code that uses the object to be synchronised should be written inside the block of the lock statement.
To give you a more concrete example, consider two threads working on a file. If both the threads try to open the file and write to it simultaneously, an exception is thrown. Here what we need to do is synchronise both the threads in such a way that only one thread opens the file and writes in it at any given moment.
Regards,
Satips.
