linq is c# not sql, you have no aliases. If your method return type is List<TypeName> you must return a list of TypeName, not a list of anonymous type. So in your select you should do something like "... select new ASX_D{ PublicProperty1 = value1, publicField = value2, }" ... ...

"a timer will never be garbage collected while it is active" -- this sentence is false. You should correct it

Bruno Tagliapietra 23-Apr-11 20:45pm View

That's true. So this is not a solution... Ok I'm changing it.

I disagree too. Msdn says about System.Threading.Thread "As long as you are using a Timer, you must keep a reference to it. As with any managed object, a Timer is subject to garbage collection when there are no references to it. The fact that a Timer is still active does not prevent it from being collected.".

So your claim "a timer will never be garbage collected while it is active" must be false... or msdn must be wrong.

Try asking your computer "Can I have that damned number??? ... please."

I mean, be more clear posting your questions please.. otherwise you'll get no answers just because it's impossible to give one

Thanks. But if you wanna use timers and you're dealing with a winform application, the best choice would be System.Windows.Forms.Timer, just because it runs on the UI thread.

Sorry, I wasn't clear enough, the matter is only with events and delegates.
GC can deal correctly with most of circular references (althought it should be better to avoid them whenever possible, that means: first declare static, otherwise make it instance-dependent).
However, it's a known fact that the GC has trouble sometimes in circular references involving events and delegates.
I wish I'd have a little more time to spend on this at the moment... Probably we should have a look to the ildasm of a simplified version of that code.

That can't be done in Winforms.. You have to use WPF. Or, if you have to stick with .NET 2.0 or previous, GDI+

I call TestCollectTimer.Test() in a button_click event handler, and it calls MessageBox.Show almost immediately...

I guess the error isn't firing in this method you posted here: you're reading, there's no serialization involved

Bruno Tagliapietra 22-Apr-11 12:35pm View

Probably, it's me... to my knowledge, you can't call any SOAP service from a Silverlight client in a synchronous way.

But someone says you can:
http://www.codeproject.com/KB/silverlight/SynchronousSilverlight.aspx

read his article, try his code and/or ask him directly

Bruno Tagliapietra 22-Apr-11 11:46am View

The problem under the hood is that Silverlight can't call web services synchronously.
You must access the service asynchronously.
Have a look here for example http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms730059.aspx

try sending code in a zip file at bruno.tagliapietra@gmail.com

if you're sending a whole solution folder, "Clean" away the exe files from visual studio first.

The methods probably do the same job the operators += and -= do in c#.
Try using it thinking like this.
