added many object.dispose which should always be done after you are done using an object and before all references to it are out of scope.... otherwise garbage collection has to do all the work (see www.basisbit.de)
some of the references to the windows libraries (eg. kernel32) had wrong definitions (for example 8 bit long instead of how it should be 4 bit integer) <-- fixed them
fixed some other code issues detected by the Microsoft Minimum Recommended Rules Set
added the new TwitterVB.DLL to the build process and changed some settings so that the Visual Studio ClickOnce Installer will work fine for us in the future and we don't get any problems with the .Net Framework Installers if the wanted Version is older then the currently installed .Net Framework version

Commit by SND\BasisBit_cp :: r50066 / (17 files in 2 dirs): (link)

converted to and fixed building with Visual Studio 2010
changed from .Net Framework 3.0 to 3.5 since a few of the libraries we are using (for example the json one) need it anyway
massively improved the debugging capabilities you get if you run tweetmypc when having a empty file at your desktop called TweetMyPCdebug.txt
added some try...catch ex as Exception... .... so TweetMyPC will never totally failed
now TweetMyPC will only change the NotifyIcon if you are not connected to a network instead of showing a message-box which can be annoying if you are traveling a lot using your laptop and wifi....
added messages which show you what doesn't work if you just compile the code without adding the URL shortener application id and the password de-/encoding
corrected some typos
+ a few other helpfull changes which don't really affect anything but make the code more readable
+ added the new TwitterVB.dll to the codefolder which will also add support for Twitter oAuth, but not made use of it yet.

Commit by SND\BasisBit_cp :: r40857 / (4 files): (link)

added print-feature for being able to remotely print a file stored online by using the command like for example "print http://website.org/something/pdfname.pdf" (currently supports pdf, doc and docx - you need a program at your PC installed, which is able to open and print documents, e.g. adobe reader and Microsoft office)
added header with license, distribution and developer information to the code-files ToDo for release:
re-add installer
add api-key for bit.ly - search for "addhere" or "bit.ly" in the code

I showed TweetMyPC to a few friends of me, and one of them got the api-rate limit problem (max 150 requests per hour)

Because of this I started researching about this problem and found a few useful information:

If you are developing an application that requires a lot of requests to the API, you can submit a web form (https://twitter.com/help/request_whitelisting) and ask Twitter to be considered for addition to the white-list of high-volume screen names. This will raise your upper limit from 150 to 20,000 API requests per hour.

Also I will change the source code of TweetMyPC, so it will after it is started or a command has been received, re-check 15 seconds after the first time the event has happened, and then it checks the next time after 25 seconds, then 30, then 3 times 38, then 45 and all following checks with 60 seconds between them.

With this change, you are more unlikely to get a problem with the twitter-api-limit-counter. This change also causes TweetMyPC to react slower to the first command you send after a while, but it will then react faster if you send a command short after another one. (in the worst case you still can do 15 commands per hour and in a good case up to 45 commands per hour - if I calculated correctly) And if you then still get a problem with the limit, the user can just submit the request-white-list form.

If you see any problem in this strategy, just email me a better way :)

changed command virtual memory and command physical memory to also report the amount of total by the system mapped memory
