Defining the object outside of the using block has nothing to do with it. The compiler will do this anyway when it converts the using to a try/finally block. The problem is a misunderstanding between disposal and collection. Calling Dispose does not release any managed memory. The GC will do that when it runs a collection and determines that the object is no longer referenced.

You will have to save the byte[] data to BASE64, expect the xml data to be about 4 times bigger than the image file. IMO its not a good idea, maybe for very tiny ( < 1kb) PNG or GIF it should be ok. xacc-ide 0.0.99-preview2 (now with integrated debugger)

Hi :-), I didn't get your question. But i assume that you want to check if the user is really a windows user and has entered his username and password correctly. If that is the case, then you can use concepts from http://win32.mvps.org Also, refer to the "Authorization Functions" under the Win32 SDK help. CreateProcessAsUser and CreateProcessWithLogon can be used. Happy coding. Regards, Suresh Ponnusami

No ! 'InitializeComponent()' is a common function that run in the form constructor. But in VS.NET IDE this a protected area of code !! If you try to change any line of code in this function IDE will reproduce the original codes at project rebuilds. In fact this is a scope that IDE put the design time initialization of controls and components there. [ _ Always there is another way _ ]
