Hi Harry,

That cannot possibly be the right solution. GC.Collect() should not be needed at any time, calling it most often even is a bad idea.
It does tell me some object is no longer in use (e.g. its reference got set to null) but was still keeping resources because it wasn't closed or disposed properly. I'm not fimiliar with Office Interop, my guess would be saving a workbook is not enough, it needs to be closed as well (preventing more edits and saves, and discarding data and resources).

Hello Luc,
it's understood that I do not only save the workbook, I also close it and finally set the reference to null. (Sorry, if I forgot to tell)
As I can see, the task is loitering around and I have to wait for its shutdown.
When I call GC.Collect() I do NOT have to wait.
The last thing I do, before the user gets back the control, is shutting down Excel. So this has to be finished before the user gets the control. I can not wait at this point. Or I have to know when Excel finished (some event to handle would be nice).
Do you know alternatives to GC.Collect() ?

It's a known problem with Office interop, and one Excel task will remain active after you correctly dispose all references and stuff, on this he's right.
I know GC.Collect() was used as a patch solution (and of course I strongly disagree with that) and was working up to .NET 1.1 or 2.0 (can't remember clearly).
The real point is, he should be able to open the workbook he closed anyway. I've been using this kind of interop a few times and it works fine.

you can add a string parameter to the constructor of the form, and send it via that.

I’ll soon enter a project where I’m going to create an “Mail Report Generator”. In our SQL Server database we have a lot of information connected to users to the system.
Now I’m looking for different techniques to create these reports. The demands are that the email that is going to be sent should have an attached PDF-file which should contain tables, charts, and different types of diagram.
I’ve been thinking of Microsoft Reporting Services as a solution for generating PDFs. Can that be a good way of doing it?
All suggestions are welcomed!!

Reporting Services would be really good..As far as I know, it's not only PDF but it also supports other formats like Excel, Images etc. I used it long back to create reports which users used to save their reports in different. If you are interested for sending automated mails, then you should definitely look into the APIs availble for generating PDFs.
Anyway,I can suggest you to see few more availble reporting tools also for your comparison. Checkout once DevExpreshttp://www.devexpress.com/Products/NET/Reporting/[^]s Xtrareports.
Let me know if you need any further details.

Hi All
Does anyone have an answer to this? im using C# Visual studio 2008?
So far I was thinking just loop through the first root folder, compare the length of the first file with the rest, and if the first files length is smaller then swap the bigger one with it, so at the end all the biggest files will be at the top..
DirectoryInfo dir = new DirectoryInfo(@"C:\");
foreach (FileInfo file in dir.GetFiles())
{
Console.WriteLine(file.Name);
foreach (FileInfo file2 in dir.GetFiles())
{
if (file.Length < file2.Length)
file2.MoveTo(file.ToString());
}
}
}

You can use LINQ to do this easily.

do you really want to move files around?????
and do you think you can get a folder size without summing file sizes?

You can use the code below, but it may need some performance improvements
List<FileInfo> fi = new List<FileInfo>();
ListBox l = new ListBox();
private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
}
private void GetSubFoldersAndFiles(string path)
{
foreach (string d in Directory.GetDirectories(path))
{
try
{
GetSubFoldersAndFiles(d);
}
catch (Exception)
{
}
}
foreach (string f in Directory.GetFiles(path))
{
fi.Add(new FileInfo(f));
}
}
private void Form1_Shown(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
l.Dock = DockStyle.Fill;
this.Controls.Add(l);
foreach (DriveInfo di in DriveInfo.GetDrives())
{
if (di.IsReady)
{
GetSubFoldersAndFiles(di.RootDirectory.FullName);
}
}
var a = (from s in fi orderby s.Length descending select s);
l.DataSource = a.ToList();
}

I have been working on this issue for a few days now and I am growing tired and desperate 
I have made this application which sends a screenshot (Image type) to another PC. All works well on most PCs except some very few of them. Those that do not work complain of a Binary stream '0' does not contain a valid BinaryHeader.
The code is exactly the same on the working / non-working PCs. I have also attempted to run the program locally on the PCs not working, and the exact problem occurs.
The Algorithm is as follows:
- Screenshot is taken (returned as Image)
- Size of the Image is sent (to prepare a byte[] for the receiving end)
- Image is converted into a MemoryStream from BinaryFormatter.Serialize
- MemoryStream.ToArray() gets byte[] which is written on a NetworkStream
- Receiving end receives the length of the object and prepares a byte[] with that length
- Receiving end reads the data on a byte[]
- Byte[] is Deserialized to object <- Exception occurs 
I have checked the first 50 bytes being sent and received and they are exactly identical!! 
It is true that the first byte is a 0 but this works with no problems at all on other systems
Why is this happening? How can I avoid this? Maybe using UnsafeDeserialize or something completely different?! 
Any help is sooo greatly appreciated!!

Hi,
I don't know what problem you are having. One possibility is the (de)serializer is having an out-of-memory problem due to fragmentation in the large-object-heap.
Why do you need serialization at all? Couldn't you use Bitmap.Save(NetworkStream) and new Bitmap(NetworkStream)? I don't like your scheme requiring a potentially large array that much.

Hi,
I suggest you read the remarks in the MSDN document.[^] which is always a good thing to do (1) before using something and (2) when having problems.

Out email provider has SMTP authentication set to require "Log on to incoming mail server before sending"
In outlook, I configure this option in the Outgoing Server Settings. Its easy.
However, I can find no way of doing this programatically with System.Net.Mail. Or at least no config settings that give a clue.
If I set outlook to use the same credentials as the incoming server then it fails. i.e. I can't just provide the username and password as it won't work.
Any clues?
regards
James

you can do it like this:
<system.net>
<mailSettings>
<smtp from="validname@mydomain.com">
<network host="mail.mydomain.com" password="" userName="validname@mydomain.com"/>
</smtp>
</mailSettings>
</system.net>
