IExtractImage:E xtract for videos question.

Scott Andrew

I have my app extracting thumbnails nicely for video and images. I have
noticed however that for video there are 5 threads added everytime I call
extract. And those threads never go away. Also the memory is never freed (or
appears not be freed) when the release is called an all my objects are
cleaned up.

Does anyone know why Extract is adding extra threads for every extract
called for video? It's almost like it's not using the thumbs.db.

Scott,

You might want to try and force a GC, using the static Collect method on
the GC class. If you have a lot of COM interop wrappers, and you arent
calling ReleaseComObjec t on them, then the objects never really have been
released properly.

You can see if this is the case by seeing if you have this resource
problem when making the same API calls in unmanaged code.

Hope this helps.

html to image

by: Sharon | last post by:

Hi all. My goal is to convert html elements to bitmap. So the first step would be to parse the html. System.Windows.Forms.WebBrowser even has a method called DrawToBitmap, which makes the whole thing much easier. The problem is that WebBrowser cannot be used in a dll. I can understand why WebBrowser is in System.Windows.Forms namespace, but i don't understand how classes like HtmlElement belong to System.Windows.Forms. So my questions...

The easy way to turn off automatic updates for Windows 10/11

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,...
