Hi Guffa,
here is a code snippet that should convince you a GC can not possibly predict
the future, i.e. it can not predict whether an object that is still reachable
(according to my definition) will still be used, no matter how hard it
investigates the code:
public static void GCCantPredictCodeExecution() {
object doYouStillNeedMe = new object();
Thread.Sleep(1000);
Console.WriteLine("Type 1 to show the object, 0 to skip that");
string s=Console.ReadLine();
if (s=="1") Console.WriteLine(doYouStillNeedMe.ToString());
#if withNullify
doYouStillNeedMe=null;
#endif
Thread.Sleep(1000);
}
So, assuming GC runs at least once a second (if necessary, add GC.Collect()
statements!), when will object doYouStillNeedMe become collectable ?
My answer is:
- D if withNullify is defined since now the ref is no longer on stack
- E if withNullify is undefined, since that's when the stack unwinds to the caller
And if I understood you correctly, you would say A or C depending on what will
be input ???

Of course the GC doesn't predict the future. It's a bit silly of you to even suggest that I said something like that.
The GC only examines the code, not the data, so any input from the user is irrelevant for the analysis.
The object will always be collectable at point C (unless run in debug mode). Writing a new value to the reference variable does not read the value in the variable, so the GC knows already at point C that the object reference will not be used anymore. When you write the null value to the reference variable, the reference to the object is already unused.

Even though you may be using only managed code, many of the base classes in .NET use the Win32 API and other unmanaged code internally. The Dispose method is used by the GC to know how to clean up that unmanaged memory.
As far as using (calling) Dispose, it can be safely assumed to be a best practice that if the class implements Dispose (or the IDisposable interface, then you should call the Dispose method when you are done using the class. This is most easily accomplished by the using statement, which defines a scope, outside of which an object or objects will be disposed.
using (Font font1 = new Font("Arial", 10.0f))If you are writing your own classes, you want to implement IDisposable if
1. you have unmanaged resources that you are working with internally
2. any class in your inheritance chain implements IDisposable
3. you want to explicitly manage the lifetime of the class
You can check out the following references for more information:

This question would probably be better in the SQL forum
But in answer to your question:
when you installed Sql Server and it asked about authentication did you leave it as Windows Authentication or change it to Mixed Mode?
If it's set to Windows Authentication then you can't use sql logins.

No You have a error in Connection String pls modify ur Connection String like that:
SqlConnection objConnection = new SqlConnection(
"server=localhost;database=pubs;uid=sa;password=if any");

"User ID" is a valid property to have in the connection string, and the concatonation shouldn't cause any issue either.

Which part did you think was incorrect?

Sir,
I have created a Sample Application where a fonts file is referenced from
C:\WINDOWS\Fonts
my requirment is in that my Sample Application should not
use from C:\WINDOWS\Fonts\*.tff path

so that my SampleApplication can get fonts irrespective of
font installation in C:\WINDOWS\Fonts

I would appreciate if someone here can help me with the following:
I need to write a small program in C# that does the following:
1. Collect from a user 2 numbers (different bases - Bin, Oct, Dec or Hex) and store them in integer
2. Then collect the operator from the user (+, -, *, /)
3. Then collect in what base the result will be presented (Bin, Oct, Dec or Hex)
4. And then print the result
No graphics is required here. Something to run from the command line.
I know it is simple but could not figure how to do it,
I would appreciate your help here,
Thanks,
Dana.

So where are you stuck exactly? We won't write the entire code for you.

How do I take the 2 numbers from different bases, do the addition for example and present it in a different base?

Console.ReadLine

Depends on how you represent them. You can use string parsing methods or int.Parse()
guyav99 wrote: do the addition for example
Convert them to the same base and use +
guyav99 wrote: and present it in a different base?
number.ToString() with a format specifiert should do the trick

Parse the strings into numbers using the selected base, do the addition, and convert the numbers into strings useing the selected base.
The Convert.ToInt32 and Convert.ToString methods have overloads that handle different bases.

OK, lets assume I collected 101 in base 2 into num1 and 75 in base 8 into num2
How do I write the code for the conversion, adding the two numbers and put the result in a base from the user (say $base_result)
|
|
|
|
|
I have told you how to do it and what methods to use for it. Can't you at least make an attempt at writing some code yourself, before asking?

Thanks for the info, however I'm not sure how to do it.
I looked at MSDN and tried to learn from there but still couldn't understand how to do it.
I wouldn't come to the forum if I knew

Homework?
Standards are great! Everybody should have one!
|
|
|
|

Not at all.
I'm trying to build a calculator that can do multiple stuff and this is one of them.
As you can see, I don't ask anyone to program it for me. This is only a small portion of it.
|
|
|
|

Ok, just wondering, sounds like one of my old homework questions. Use String.Format to convert from decimal to hex. You can use int.Parse to get the decimal value back.
