RequestSymbol() - caching of requests

[georger]

When I make a 'Real-Time' quote request with RequestSymbol(), using both the VB 6 example entitled "vb sample.zip Sample VB Code " (found in the eSignal File Sharing section of the supportsite) and a version built with Visual Studio 2005 (using c#), it seems that when I load the applications, the application is already getting price updates even before I click the button which initiates the request. The applicaiton is getting updates for a symbol is requested the last time is was running. Is there some sort of cache?

I am also calling the following functions when I load by application is hopes of clearing the active request(s):

_eSignal.ReleaseAllHistory();
_eSignal.ReleaseAllTimeSales();
_eSignal.ClearSymbolCache();
_eSignal.ReleaseSymbol(_eSignal.GetCurrentLinkingS ymbol);

but the the previous request (from running the application previously) still lingers and when I try to make another request, the applications so no signs of responding.

Any ideas?

When your application exits, you should make sure that you call ReleaseSymbol for all symbols you have called RequestSymbol on.

Is there a way to do a realease for all active connections/requests?

Or what about resetting the Data Manager?

I would like to avoid having to release each symbol each time.

You can clear the DM cache with ClearSymbolCache
