I have an ASP.NET page created by a coworker that uses an Infragistics grid (this is the only third party component on the page) and when run initially, IE takes abouot 10 Meg or memory, via the task manager. Refresh the page repeatedly (the page is refreshed by a meta tag in the real world) and memory slowly increases, eventually crippling the machine. If you minimize the IE instance, the memory usage shrinks down to 2 Meg or so, restore and the growth continues.
Any thoughts? I have googled this, and do not think any of what I have seen applies (though I have not eyeballed the JScript used by Infragistics...
If you are considering cross platform mobile device development, you might want to take a look at Crossfire. Here is a review I did for MobilizedSoftware.com
Seems that whenever, however I try to update my machine with Windows XP SP2-RC1 to the released SP2, I get an error message saying it cannot find Branches.inf. When I browse, the file is there, I have full rights to the file, it is not read only, and no matter where I move it, the program cannot read it. After I quit, I get a message about Access denied. I have done it logged in with my normal login, and as administrator, still no joy.
Other than repaving the machine, any thoughts on what to do?
According to this article, this weekend Steve Jobs had surgery for a rare form of pancreatic cancer. The article notes that he did not have an adenocarcinoma, but rather a islet cell neuroendocrine tumor, which is, thankfully, much more likely to be cured surgically.
This is interesting to me, since just 2 months ago today, I had a Whipple Procedure (and in my case as well, it was not for an adenocarcinoma, but rather a possible future adenocarcinoma in the stomach and duodenum as well as polyps growing into my bile duct). Generally, when you have any sort of pancreatic tumor, they perform a Whipple procedure, which removes the duodenum, at least part of the pancreas and sometimes part of the stomach. The article does not specify what surgery Steve had.
If anyone who knows Steve reads this, and he is looking for how one geek did recovering from pancreas surgery, I am here<g>.
Good luck, Steve!
UPDATE: Comments on this post are closed (the spam prevention thing that Scott added to the CS:Blogs program), but I wanted to answer Julie's questions: The surgery lasted quite a while, perhaps 7-8 hours. I have had two prior surgeries (colon removal in 1987 for preventive reasons, liver resection in 1998 for primary liver cancer that had not spread) and so had lots of scar tissue that made the surgery difficult. I had the whipple and a seperate resection in another portion of the stomach. I was in the hospital for 12 days. From my experience with liver surgery, one problem with that surgery is that because most pain meds are metabilized in the liver, after liver surgery, they go a little lighter on pain meds than I would have liked. I did not find the post-Whipple time frame to be a problem pain-wise, but was amazingly tired all the time. My surgery was 3 months ago today, and I feel great. Lost 40+ pounds (which was not a problem, I needed to loose some weight). Lots of details at this web site I set up for family and friends. The surgery was done by Dr. Yuman Fong at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in NYC.
