outofmemory error when setting a background picture.

Hi.

I'm trying to set the background of a form from a file with this code :

Stream imgStream= File.Open("imag es\\popupbackgr ound.jpg",FileM ode.Open, FileAccess.Read , FileShare.Read) ;
this.Background Image =Image.FromStre am(imgStream);
imgStream.Close ();

and when I'm executing a "Form.show( )" command, I got an OutOfMemoryExce ption and nothing is displayed in my form (all controls look like red squares with red crosses in it !). The jpg file is only 31 ko, I don't think it can fill the system memory...

Any idea ?

When users try to open third image, the JInternalFrame on top will be replaced with the new image. a) I open 2 images (thus show 2 JInternalFrame). Then when I try to open third image, the image on top is replaced and there is no java.lang.outofmemory. b) I...

Hi, My name is Roby Eisenbraun Martins, I am a C++, VB and NET developer. I am working with a NET 2002 project right now and I am receiving this uncommon "OutOfMemory" error message when I try to load a form object ( new frmMain() ). In debug mode, the "Load" form method is executed but it crashes when it tries to set a DataTable from a DataSet in a local variable. Actually the object value in debug mode is equal to nothing.

I am using a method that was described as the best for avoiding memory leaks when using MS Picture boxes. The main idea was to use a variable to load the image from file and then assign the picture box image to that variable like so: Dim img as BitMap ' (have tried BitMap and Image) img = Image.FromFile(OFD.FileName) PictureBox1.Image = img This has worked great with my photo album creator as my memory leaks

I am using a listview to hold a bunch of binary data (approx 25 rows and 700 cols). I have a compare function that compares each row's bit at a certain column. i then color the background of each cell as a result (green for equal value, red for unequal value). This colors each of the 700 columns either green or red. now, the problem: when i scroll horizontally to look at all of the columns, i will periodically run into a horrible...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
