Yes, that really does help. It helps it a lot, and the RAM is a lot lower however it still goes up high sometimes. And if a user had 1gb ram and it tried go up to 800mb... Yeah.

Nope... I tried it, and it didn't really have much of an effect on it at all. It was like the line of code wasn't even there.

I assume so? All I am really doing is I have a dictionary. The key is the byte, and then the returned value is the name of the PUP. What I want to do is check if the bytes in the file contains the...

What do you mean? I tried using File.ReadAllBytes without the BitConverter.ToString and it won't work without it.

Okay I'll try using GC.Collect(). I know what it is but yes I did read it was bad to use.

It's meant to scan directories like the desktop, the whole drive etc. So there are some massive files and .ISO and so on and it makes my RAM end up to about 3gb RAM within the first minute.

I've...

Yes, that is what I was trying to mention in the previous post. Basically, you have to create a new project. Then, everytime a new update is available you need too re-upload the .exe file on your...

Hi everyone.

In my .NET app I need to load all the bytes in a file to a string using:

BitConverter.ToString(File.ReadAllBytes("filepath"))
to compare if it contains junk bytes (PUP) on my PC...

Thank you, instead of a file per second it's now 180 files per 20 seconds which is a lot better (it's a scanner). However, I assume when my bytes database get's even bigger it will be slower at...

Okay, so below I will give you a code example on how you can go about using my suggested idea above. Hopefully it helps. Also, to speed up the process you could use threads however I have made this...

Hello! :)

I have a problem with my code. Well, not so much a problem but the speed is incredibly slow of the task. I know why it's slow, but I don't know how to speed it up (it's already running...

What I do for a updater is I use a webclient to read text on a text file hosted online, and then if that is the same as the ProductVersion it's updated and if it isn't then a update is available....

I have also seen this theme, from a HackForums member. Although, yes, why would you need a theme after a few days of programming? You use things like themes to improve the UI, if your just learning...

No, I mean it's possible your PC could be infected altogether. As in, malware is monitoring when new files are created and infecting them. But I doubt it.

When you try to print totalMilesGallons, try adding a
.ToString() so it converts it to a string/prints it as a string. Because, it might be that you are trying to print a decimal value in a string,...

As far as making a custom installer goes to match the theme of your project, you would have to assign it to a uninstaller, start menu/any metro icons you want on the start screen for windows 8/8.1...

You could make a installer which puts all your files in Program Files. For example, in the programfiles directory there will be a directory for your application and inside that folder (root folder of...

Okay, thank you :)

Yeah, after some searching and reading I learnt more on the topic of doing this. I found out that I could view files open in different processes which could track down when a process opens up the...

I don't expect anyone to know how to code anything like this, but head me in the right direction to how I would go about doing this (if they can).

Thanks - just so people are aware to why I...

Hi everyone.

Okay so I'm not sure if you are familiar with the FileSystemWatcher control, but it only detects the newly created file/file changes, file deleted and renamed. But, it does not...

I found the following code for you over on this MSDN link. The code will suspend a process, and can resume the process.

Thanks dday :)

Yes, that was the word I meant to say. It's flickery, not laggy would suit the word. My apologies. I will try the Me.Refresh in there and the DoubleBuffered also. Thanks.

I would like to make my panel slide to a certain width. I have already acomplished this, however it is quite buggy/laggy. As in, the controls behind the panel lag whilst it's sliding and it isn't...

Could you let us know of the code you have attempted to do this? We shall help you fix it afterwards.


You should google it. There are many articles on doing this...

When you signed up to this forum, I think you were under the impression that your code will be made for you. I'm sure many others did this at first, in fact, I did something similar in the past as...

It's supposed to be a advanced Task Manager which will tell the MD5, SHA1 etc of the application/s and other details like PID, RAM usage etc. As well as that, there is a option to be notified...

Considering @IanRyder has already answered your question/s, I don't feel a need for me to do the very same thing. I was going to correct about the Do While and While but he was quicker to fix it :D

Okay, I'll do that now :)
I should probably start a new thread for this, but would you know how to get the md5 of a file when it is read? For example, if another application reads the file or writes...

Today I would like to know if anyone has any improvements to my code of getting the MD5 to a file The way my app works is, using a FileSystemWatcher everytime a new file is...
