DLL locked after Form.Close()

Consider a Form (Form1!) that resides in a Windows Application (.EXE)
and which loads a Console Library at runtime (.DLL).
The form has a few labels and a progress bar, nothing fancy. On XP when
you call

Form1.Close();

the application closes and you can delete the DLL. I have discovered a
problem on NT whereby calling Close() on the EXE does not appear to
unload the DLL, and thus I can't delete the file (this is a serious
problem in my case)

I also examined the task manager and the EXE is definitly not running
after Form1.Close() but the 'lock' on the DLL still exists!

This is a very obscure problem I know but perhaps someone can shed some
light (I'm very much in the dark)

Hi Folks, I'm using Access 2002, and I have run into this problem numerous times, but have decided I'm tired of using the task manager to overcome this. When testing and debugging, I have a dialog form pop up, that contains a "cancel" and "continue" button. if I run into an error, and jump into the VB window, decide I want to stop the code from running and press the "stop" button, I can't seem to use the dialog form, or close the DB...

Hi All, I'm having a problem with the following code. I've read quite a lot of old posts regarding the issue but none seem to affer a solution. The scenario is. I have a bound form which contains a couple of memo fields. I need to keep some sort of log as to when each update of the memo field occurs so I have locked bot the memo fields on the main form. To edit them, the user double clicks the ememo field which then opens an unbound...

Good Afternoon Everyone, Could someone please explain why I can't set the Subform control Visible attribute to False as below? The statement for the locked attributes work but not for the visibility.

Because C# has no native SSH class, I am using SharpSSH. Sometimes, for reasons I do not know, a Connect call will totally lock up the thread and never return.

Anyhow, this locked up state happens once in a while (maybe once per day) and I can't figure out how to deal with the locked up thread. If I issue a Thread.Abort() the exception never...

I have 2 users who ran into a problem with a data entry program (written in Access 2003). One user was keying into one of the forms when she got the message "ACCESS Error Number: 3218 Could not update; currently locked'. About the same time, another user was keying records into a 2nd form. Even though they were on different forms, they would have added records to the same table. The 2nd user had tried to add about 28 records, the...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

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,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
