• .NET Development Closing an External Program

  Hello Everyone and thanks for your help in advance.  I have a third party program that is opened daily using Windows Scheduler, which in turn runs a process.  However, at the end of the process, the program does not close itself instead simply terminating and leaving itself open.  Because of this, Windows Scheduler fails on the next attempt to launch the program unless someone manually closes the program daily.  I know a Windows form can launch an external exe, and assume it can also be used to close an external program or process, however, I do not know how to do this.  Any insight on this topic would be greatly app ...Show All

Similar to that there is a "Microsoft Byte Code Engineering Library" (MBEL) for .NET. It is in the link given below.    http://www.cs.arizona.edu/mbel But the thing I was asking was in the "limitations" section of that library.It seems the internal structure of custom attributes in .NET is complex. Can you specify some resources where I can find the internal structures & all those stuff about attributes in .NET assembly. Thank You. Hi,      &nb ...Show All

Also I used the Foreach ADO option, but setting up variables to go through every column is an absolute pain in the you know what!! !! ...Show All

• Visual C# dinamicly memory allocation..

  does c# supprt dinamic memory allocation like c++ how Thanks! You allocate everything with the new keyword. That's how whatever objects are being allocated. Depends on what kind of data you want to store. If you want something similar to a traditional memory buffer you may use something like this: byte[] buffer = new byte[BUFFER_SIZE]; That creates an array of bytes, see MSDN about C# arrays to find out more. Generally: MyType[] buf = new MyType[1024]; Holds 1024 instances of MyType. The garbage collector decides how the buffer will be allocated and when it will be disposed. If you want to deallocate you object ...Show All
