Garbage collection in the Microsoft .NET common language runtime environment completely absolves the developer from tracking memory usage and knowing when to free memory. However, you'll want to understand how it works. Part 1 of this two-part article on .NET garbage collection explains how resources are allocated and managed, then gives a detailed step-by-step description of how the garbage collection algorithm works. Also discussed are the way resources can clean up properly when the garbage c...

The first part of this two-part article explained how the garbage collection algorithm works, how resources can clean up properly when the garbage collector decides to free a resource's memory, and how to force an object to clean up when it is freed. The conclusion of this series explains strong and weak object references that help to manage memory for large objects, as well as object generations and how they improve performance. In addition, the use of methods and properties for controlling gar...

Microsoft .NET introduces a new suite of XML APIs built on industry standards such as DOM, XPath, XSD, and XSLT. The .NET Framework XML classes also include innovations that offer convenience, better performance, and a more familiar programming model, tightly coupled with the new .NET data access APIs—ADO .NET. XmlWriter, XmlReader, and XmlNavigator classes and classes that derive from them, including XMLTextReader and XMLTextWriter, encapsulate a number of functionalities that previously had to...

Knowledge workers can understand data more effectively when raw numbers are presented in a graphical format. This is especially true when displaying database information on a Web page, where a simple chart can make the difference between a dry presentation and a vivid data source. In the past, creating dynamic, data-based charts on the fly in ASP required purchasing a third-party, image-generating COM component. Now with ASP.NET, developers can access the .NET Framework's drawing classes directl...

If you wanted to, you could distinguish two general categories of classes in the Microsoft® .NET Framework—classes that introduce new functionality such as XML readers and ADO.NET providers, and collections and classes that wrap underlying Win32® system functions. However, the .NET Framework provides classes for only some of the basic Win32 system routines. For many other functions, it still relies a great deal on the native Win32 API. An example is the stream classes of System.IO. The stream cl...

I have a question about window objects (Forms and Controls) based on your November 2002 column about nondeterministic destruction in the Microsoft® .NET Framework. With MFC, I can put cleanup code in my destructor because MFC deletes the window object automatically when the window is destroyed. What about with the .NET Framework? If a window is destroyed, does the .NET Framework immediately destroy the corresponding Form, or does it wait until a garbage collection to do this? If the .NET Framewo...

In the .NET Framework, XmlTextReader and XmlTextWriter provide for XML-driven reading and writing operations. In this article, the author discusses the architecture of readers and how they relate to XMLDOM and SAX parsers. He also shows how to use readers to parse and validate XML documents, how to leverage writers to create well-formed documents, and how to optimize the processing of large XML documents using functions to read and write Base64 and BinHex-encoded text. He then reviews how to imp...
