Hi,
i'm experiencing a very weird problem here.
I've got a ListView, 4 columns and about 300 items. Nothing to worry about
there.
Now when I scroll up and down repeatedly using the vertical scrollbar, I see
the number of GDI object grow rapidly. Now and then it drops again to about
60 which is reasonable.When this number reaches 10.000, all of a sudden, it
turns into 4.294.964.397 (more or less).
Running the garbage collector manually does not help anymore then.
I also noticed that when I run the garbage collector (manually) *before* the
number reaches 10.000 this problem does not occur.
What is going wrong here ? I'm not doing any custom drawing, I don't even
use another backcolor, font or whatever. Why does it allocate so many GDI
objects. If I wrote something like a ListView, I would cache some or all of
the pens and brushes, as in most cases all the rows have similar properties
(color, font, ...).
I must be missing something. Anybody a clue ?
Thanks in advance.
Greetings,
Bram.

There's a known bug in the performance counter object for GDI handles (which
is used by taskman), once the max value (10000)is exceeded it returns a
bogus number.

There's a GDI Objects column for every process in task manager, I suppose
they are what they are.
Never seen anything wrong when there was nothing wrong.
Over years I have found these numbers very accurate. Why shouldn't they
not
be.
I suppose there might be a small bug in Task Manager, or in some kernel
function causing the number to go insane when it passes 10.000. Which
doesn't mean there is actually going something wrong in the GDI system.
But this doesn't explain why my listview is rapidly allocating so many gdi
objects while scrolling.
Cheears,
Bram

No I was just curious. But how can you be sure they are GDI objects?

Hi,
in my program, I have to sort containers of objects which can be 2000
items big in some cases. Since STL containers are based around copying
and since I need to sort these containers quite frequently, I thought
it'd be a better idea to manage additional containers which are
initialized with pointers to the objects in the primary containers and
sort those (only pointers have to be copied around then).
However, that also means if I...

Hi,
I am building a single webform/webpage asp.net application using VB.NET.
I have created lots of classes for this web application.
On page load I use a facade controller pattern class to perform all my initial
class object instaniations using sub new() procedures
I'm using this project to learn the ins and outs of OOA and OOD, so instead
of doing everything in code behind pages I have lots of objects now created

Hello:
I just wrote my first ASP.Net application. It worked fine on my machine and
when I put into production, the ASP.Net process reaches 50% quite fast and
then the system does not work anymore until I kill that process.
Obviously, this is not acceptable.
Looking back, I do not destroy any objects in my form. Would that be the
reasn why the application breaks down?

concerned about performance. For example, there are lots of cases when
I may just be needing the employee name. Yet using this model, I will

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
