My application uses 1GB of memory each 20 seconds - vb.net

I have made a app which draws bitmaps(800x500) each 30 ms. And displays them in a picturebox also the parts in the drawn image are objects. This process uses 50MB each time it renders and I'm very worried.
This is the rendering code:
Public Function Draw() As Bitmap
Dim b as New Bitmap(RenderWidth * Me.Camera.Zoom, RenderHeight * me.camera.zoom)
Dim g = graphics.FromImage(b)
For each i in me.elements
Dim calculated as new point(i.location.x - me.camera.x, i.location.y - me.camera.x)
Dim resized as new bitmap(i.Image, New Size(i.Image.Width * i.Scale, i.Image.Height * i.Scale))
g.DrawImage(resized, caluculated)
Next
'camera zooming code
Dim oldSize as size = b.Size
Dim calculatedLoc = CalucLoc(oldSize, rendersize)
b = b.Clone(New Rectangle(caluclatedLoc, RenderSize), b.Pixelformat)
Return b
End Function
Function CalucLoc(bigSize, smallSize) as Point
Dim result as new size
Dim half_w1 = bigSize.Width / 2
Dim half_h1 = bigSize.Height / 2
Dim half_w2 = smallSize.Width / 2
Dim half_h2 = smallSize.Height / 2
Dim caluc_x = half_w1 - half_w2
Dim caluc_y = half_h1 - half_h2
result = New Point(caluc_x, caluc_y)
return result
End Function
The element class doesn't do anything it just acts as a container of all the properties.

Try
Public Sub Draw(ByRef b As Bitmap)

Dealing with a memory leak when cropping images in vb.net

I keep getting a system out of memory error when I break an image up into sub images. There's nothing too fancy going on, just splitting an image into a bunch of smaller images. Here's my code:
Dim counterrr As Integer = 0
Dim sorucedir As String
Dim tardir As String
sorucedir = "C:\somedir\"
tardir = "C:\otherdir\"
Dim di2 As New DirectoryInfo(sorucedir)
Dim fiArr2 As FileInfo() = di2.GetFiles()
Dim fri2 As FileInfo
Dim hh As Integer
Dim ww As Integer
hh = 995 'height of source images
ww = 1080 'width of source images
Dim sizestepX As Integer = 180
Dim stepsizeY As Integer = 239
For i = 0 To ww - 1 Step sizestepX
For j = 0 To hh - 1 Step stepsizeY
For Each fri2 In fiArr2
Dim BM2 As Bitmap
BM2 = Image.FromFile(fri2.FullName)
''Threading.Thread.Sleep(3000)
'bm2 = Image.FromFile(fri2.FullName)
Dim BM3 As Bitmap
Dim rect As New Rectangle(i, j, sizestepX, stepsizeY)
BM3 = BM2.Clone(rect, Imaging.PixelFormat.DontCare)
counterrr += 1
Dim ss As String
ss = tardir & counterrr & ".png"
BM3.Save(ss, Imaging.ImageFormat.Png)
BM3 = Nothing
Next
Next
Next
The error comes up after creating as few as 6 images (occurs when creating the 7th image). The line where the error is thrown is this:
BM3 = BM2.Clone(rect, Imaging.PixelFormat.DontCare)
How can I modify my code so they objects are correctly disposed (?) of so they don't leak memory.
The Bitmap class, along with many of the other GDI+ classes implement IDisposable because they hold onto underlying GDI object handles which need to be released. Each process is limited by the OS to a maximum number of GDI objects, usually 10,000. You can view the total number of active GDI objects per process in the Windows task manager. To fix your problem, you need to either manually call the Dispose method on each Bitamp object you create, before it goes out of scope, or you need to wrap each Bitmap variable declaration in a Using block (so it will call Dispose for you). For instance:
Using BM2 As Bitmap = Image.FromFile(fri2.FullName)
Dim rect As New Rectangle(i, j, sizestepX, stepsizeY)
Using BM3 As Bitmap = BM2.Clone(rect, Imaging.PixelFormat.DontCare)
counterrr += 1
Dim ss As String
ss = tardir & counterrr & ".png"
BM3.Save(ss, Imaging.ImageFormat.Png)
End Using
End Using
Note: there's no point in setting the BM3 variable to Nothing at the end, like you're doing. That has no bearing on anything.

Using Logo to draw sound

I'm using Logo right now and i'm making a project and basically i want to turn your recorded voice into something visual, only problem is when i go to find code it re that works it requires 1: A picture box and 2: to manually grab the sound .wav file and place it. I already made code to record my voice and to make it into a .Wav file and i already have code to visualize it, just when i run it it appears as a thick square of lines rather than the example i shown. Note: I'm not drawing into a picturebox, i'm drawing directly into the Form by using g.drawline(bleh,bleh,bleh,bleh).
(Example: http://static1.1.sqspcdn.com/static/f/335152/16812948/1330286658510/76_dsc3616.jpeg?token=R1zPNnr9PAoB3WvnDxfFFFvzkMw%3D )

X and Y is the middle of the form. And i also would link where i got the code but i forgot where and also, i modified it in attempt to run it directly into he form rather than a picturebox. It worked sorta haha (And there is so many unused dims but all i know is, once i remove one none of the code works haha) So could anyone help?

ReportViewer.LocalReport.Render("PDF")

I am using Report Viewer for WinForms. The problem i am having is this: I have a form that contains a form which is used to view a local report which work fine, but when I try to render the same report as a PDF, it is cut-off, but in report viewer the same report renders a report on one page. When I render to PDF it cuts it off and the part of the report that was cut-off renders on a 2nd page. So in other words, part of the same report is on page 1, and 2nd half is on 2nd page in the PDF?
Code:
Private Function GetPDfReport() As String
Dim parameters = Me.GetReportParms()
Dim query = Me.GetReportQuery()
Dim rView As Microsoft.Reporting.WinForms.ReportViewer = New Microsoft.Reporting.WinForms.ReportViewer
rView.Dock = DockStyle.Fill

pnl.Size = New System.Drawing.Size(734, 478)
pnl.Controls.Add(rView)
Dim dbReader As New dbReader()
Dim ds As DataSet = dbReader.DataSet(query)
Dim rds As Microsoft.Reporting.WinForms.ReportDataSource = New Microsoft.Reporting.WinForms.ReportDataSource("DataSet1", ds.Tables(0))

Dim exePath As String = System.IO.Path.GetDirectoryName(Application.ExecutablePath)

Dim file As New FileInfo(System.IO.Path.Combine( _
dir.FullName, String.Format("Patient_Details_{0:yyyyMMdd_hhmmss}.pdf", DateTime.Now)))
If Not dir.Exists Then
dir.Create()
End If
Dim bytes As Byte() = rView.LocalReport.Render("PDF")
Using fs As New System.IO.FileStream(file.FullName, System.IO.FileMode.Create)
fs.Write(bytes, 0, bytes.Length)
fs.Close()
End Using
Return file.FullName
End Function
are you seeing the local report in the embedded ReportViewer using the "Print Layout" option activated? That should show exactly the same output as your printed result.
If you have problems in the PDF is probably caused by the design of the report itself. Check the font, the page size and orientation, the margins, the page breaks.
uisng System.IO;
byte[] rep = reportViewer1.LocalReport.Render("pdf", deviceInfo: "");
// if a certificate warning appears just ignore and re-run
File.WriteAllBytes(filepath+filename+".pdf",rep);

Print multiple images in vb.net

In VB.NET, I need to print multiple Images of bar codes by arranging them in tabular format. For now what I am doing is, Creating the bar codes and adding them in new picture box. These Picture boxes are added on a panel which I am creating on form at run time and print that panel (with picture boxes in 4x9 table).
But, when I need to print more that 36 bar codes, this idea doesn't work.
So, Please suggest me some improvements in my code or any other way to do this job.
I am sorry, here is the code for generating images and adding them to the panel..
''' Method for create bar code images with a loop and adding them to the panel by picture box...
Private Function GetBarcodeText(RowId As Guid)
Dim BarcodeValue As StringBuilder = New StringBuilder(96)
Dim temp As New StringBuilder
Dim data As String
Dim param = New SqlParameter()
Dim imageNo As Integer = 0
Dim colorValue As String = ""
Dim scaleValue As String = ""
'' Adding the panel on the form which is dynamically created
Me.Controls.Add(outputPanel)
'' Setting the Initial size for the panel
outputPanel.Size = New Point(794, 112)
outputPanel.Name = "outputPanel"
outputPanel.BackColor = Drawing.Color.White
param.ParameterName = "#RowId"
param.Value = RowId
param.SqlDbType = SqlDbType.UniqueIdentifier
' Get the particular row of data from database
dt = objStockProvider.GetBarcodeDetails(param)
' GET colour code
Dim color As String = dt.Rows(0)("COLOUR").ToString()
Dim countColors As Integer = 0
' Get the color code numbers
param.ParameterName = "#Dscale"
param.Value = dgvViewTickets.CurrentRow.Cells("SCALE").Value.ToString()
countColors = objStockProvider.CountColorCodes(param)
For i = 1 To countColors
For j As Integer = 1 + ((12 / countColors) * (i - 1)) To (12 / countColors) * i
If dt.Rows(0)("S" + j.ToString()) <> 0 Then

For k As Integer = 1 To totalTicketsForASize
' Set Bar code value which has to create

' Create Barcode Image for given value
Dim image = GetBarcodeImage(BarcodeValue, colorValue, scaleValue)
If image IsNot Nothing Then
'' Create picture box to contain generated Image.
Dim pcbImage As New PictureBox
pcbImage.Width = W
pcbImage.Height = H
pcbImage.Image = image
pcbImage.Location = New Point(X, Y)
imageNo += 1
If imageNo Mod 4 = 0 Then
X = 15
Y += H
outputPanel.Height += H
Else
X += W
Y = Y
End If
pcbImage.Visible = True
'' Adding picture box to panel
outputPanel.Controls.Add(pcbImage)
End If
Next
End If
Next
color = color.Substring(color.IndexOf(",") + 1, color.Length - color.IndexOf(",") - 1)
Next
PrintGeneratedTickets()
End Function
Now, I am printing the panel by following method:
Private Sub PrintGeneratedTickets()
bmp = New Bitmap(outputPanel.DisplayRectangle.Width, outputPanel.DisplayRectangle.Height)
Dim G As Graphics = Graphics.FromImage(bmp)
G.DrawRectangle(Pens.White, New Rectangle(0, 0, Me.outputPanel.DisplayRectangle.Width, Me.outputPanel.DisplayRectangle.Height))
Dim Hdc As IntPtr = G.GetHdc()
SendMessage(outputPanel.Handle, WM_PRINT, Hdc, DrawingOptions.PRF_OWNED Or DrawingOptions.PRF_CHILDREN Or DrawingOptions.PRF_CLIENT Or DrawingOptions.PRF_NONCLIENT)
G.ReleaseHdc(Hdc)
pndocument.DocumentName = bmp.ToString()
Dim previewmode As New PrintPreviewDialog
previewmode.Document = pndocument
previewmode.WindowState = FormWindowState.Maximized
previewmode.PrintPreviewControl.Zoom = 1
pndocument.DefaultPageSettings.Margins.Top = 10
pndocument.DefaultPageSettings.Margins.Bottom = 30
pndocument.DefaultPageSettings.Margins.Left = 16
pndocument.DefaultPageSettings.Margins.Right = 16
pndocument.DefaultPageSettings.Landscape = False
' Set other properties.
previewmode.PrintPreviewControl.Columns = 4
previewmode.PrintPreviewControl.Rows = 9
previewmode.ShowDialog()
Dim file As String = DateTime.Now.ToString()
file = Path.GetFullPath("D:\Bar Codes\" + file.Replace("/", "-").Replace(":", ".") + ".bmp")
bmp.Save(file)
G.Dispose()
outputPanel.Controls.Clear()
End Sub
This code is working fine but what I need to do, is to fix the number of images (4x9) per page. But when I am trying to create more than it, that all are printing on a single page with compressed size.
Also when trying to re-run the code, It shows nothing in preview..
Some body please suggest the correction in code so that I can reprint the tickets and use paging for more than 36 images.
Well, Printing the Images on a panel was not a good idea.. I replaced the panel and created an array of images and used the print document directly and print after arranging images on it.
Thanks.
