• Visual C# Not Freeing Memory

  Hi, I don't know if anyone can help me. I am working with large png files, and finding the memory is not being freed after the object is disposed. Are there any know bugs on this issue Many thanks, Bruce Hi James, Thanks. I have had a look and can't seem to find GC.Collect() within the code. Running through the memory profiler, the garbage collector is collecting instantly after it previously freed some memory. To try and picture this, it starts off at the bottom left corner and increases rapidly diagonally up the screen freeing memory and then the app throws an out of memory exception, before the plugin dies. Its the first ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Public Properties on Workflows

  How would I access from an ExternalEventService a public property exposed on the workflow instance I see how to pass parameters into the workflow on creation, but how would I access them while running Garick, You should pass these values as parameters with the CallExternalMethod activity. IE if your interface looked something like: [ExternalDataExchange] interface IFoo { void Bar(string prop1, int val2, Guid g); } then you could bind a string, int, and Guid, to the implementing method. The samples in Communications\ might also be useful for you. Arjun ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Failed to display context menu on 64 bit platform

I received an error message stating that particular variable must occur in the header or footer only. Thanks to Russell Christopher for all his help. R ...Show All
