.net - Why Is Date1.CompareTo(Date2) > 0 Faster Than Date1 > Date2
Aug 6, 2010
Unimportant because mostly code-readability is much more important than a few milliseconds, but interesting anyway.I noticed that there are differences between different DateTime Comparisons.I checked 3 alternatives:
Dim clock As New System.Diagnostics.Stopwatch
Dim t1, t2, t3 As Long
Dim Date1 As Date = Date.Now.AddSeconds(2), Date2 As Date = Date.Now
[code]....
Normally i choose first method because it is more readable and fail-safer than the others.Method 3 is the fastest. Is this the method that the compiler would choose when i use the operator overloaded method 1? When yes, why are there differences during runtime?Method 2 is the slowest, maybe because it is shared/static?!UPDATE: added some more values. Now Metod 1 and 2 are pretty equal fast.

The CompareTo() method for my class is dynamic, and can range from a simple comparison to comparisons on a number of columns. This is all determined at run time, and it works great.But in some cases, I want any attempt to sort a collection of my objects using the default comparison to just do nothing.
Having CompareTo() just return a 0 for any comparison, to my surprise, doesn't work. The list gets rearranged in some odd, seemingly-random order.Is there a way to do this in the CompareTo() method implementation? I'd rather not handle this up at the collection level by having to override Sort().

What's a sound approach to override the CompareTo() method in a custom class with multiple approaches to comparing the data contained in the class? I'm attempting to implement IComparable(Of T) just so I have a few of the baseline interfaces implemented. Not planning on doing any sorting yet, but this will save me down the road if I need to.
Reading MSDN states mostly that we have to return 0 if the objects are equal, -1 if obj1 is less than obj2, or 1 is obj1 is greater than obj2. But that's rather simplistic.
Consider an IPv4 address (which is what I'm implementing in my class). There's two main numbers to consider -- the IP address itself, and the CIDR. An IPv4 address by itself is assumed to have a CIDR of /32, so in that case, in a CompareTo method, I can just compare the addresses directly to determine if one is greater or less than the other. But when the CIDR's are different, then things get tricky.
Assume obj1 is 10.0.0.0/8 and obj2 is 192.168.75.0/24. I could compare these two addresses a number of ways. I could just ignore the CIDR, and still regard as obj2 as being greater than obj1. I could compare them based on their CIDR, which would be comparing the size of the network (and a /8 will trump a /24 quite easily). I could compare them on both their numerical address AND their CIDR, on the off chance obj2 was actually an address inside the network defined by obj1.
What's the kind of approach used to handle situations like this? Can I define two CompareTo methods, overloaded, such that one would evaluate one address relative to another address, and the second would evaluate the size of the overall network? How would the .NET framework be told which one to use depending on how one might want to sort an array? Or do some other function that relies on CompareTo()?

I am using a datepicker control that doesn't like "compareto" is there an alternative I can use (apart from using a bog standard datepicker)
If dpEndTimeDate.Value.CompareTo(dpStartTimeDate.Value) < 0 Then
dpStartTimeDate.Value = dpEndTimeDate.Value
End If
Message: Compareto not a member of 'Date'

You'd think both are the same. But maybe it's the compiler that Microsoft has used, but I've noticed that when compiling two very small programs, identical logic. VB.NET uses more IL instructions.Is it true than that c# must be faster, if only because its compiler is smarter.

A long time a agp I settled into a listview as an indicating device. I do not use pictorial modes or graphics. Just listing and multicolumn listing.I am also a performance bug and I have written realtime monitors for monitoring cpu activity in real-time and normally rum them starting at bootime. Lately I have found that the listview throws away time. In a tight loop, the list view does not take all cpu time available and the listview is relatively slow.
Does anyone know of a control like the list views only it's faster? Multi-colored and multi-columned are musts.

My co-worker said that in a previous interview, he learned that foreach is faster in VB.Net than c#'s foreach. He was told that this was because both have different CLR implementation.
Coming from a C++ perspective, I'm curious on why this is and I was told that I need to read up on CLR first. Googling foreach and CLR doesn't help me understand.
Does anyone have a good explanation on why foreach is faster in VB.Net than in c#? Or was my co-worker misinformed?

I have a directory with more then 350.000 files in. I need to process every single file and move them to an other folder. When I use the dir() method it takes a few seconds before if it returns the first file found.
dim foundfile as string = dir("d:")
In the documentation there is this:
"The My.Computer.FileSystem Object gives you greater productivity and performance in file I/O operations than the Dir function. See My.Computer.FileSystem.GetDirectoryInfo Method for more information."
But I can't find any method that is faster then dir, and gives the same result. I can't use this method below because it takes for ever to load......
For Each foundFile As String In My.Computer.FileSystem.GetFiles("D:")
Next
It just does not work fast...
When I use the Dir() method it takes like 5 sec, and it uses 100% cpu... it is just not a option. How do I get the same function as the dir method but better performance? (I use visual basic 2008).

I create a CSV file by getting a datatable then looping through that datatable and writing eachline of a CSV file. My data source usually has around 65,000 rows in it. This process takes several minutes to download from the browser. The problem is that locally and on dev it doesn't take too long, but on the client they usually timeout.
Is there a faster way to generate this file?

I'm converting a process from VB 6.0 to VB .Net. The process copies a table from one database table to another database. In many cases they are not linked so a "Select * into Table2 from Table1" is not a solution. Also the source table may be a temporary global table that has a unique structure. The current process reads the source table into an ADODB recordset, obtains the columns attributes to create a new table, creates the new table, builds insert statements from the source table, and then inserts the rows into the new table. I'd like to take advantage of any .Net features that may be more efficient than that. Can anyone point me in the right Direction?

Im using RichTextBox from Visual Studio 2008 to show various RTF content and it is slow. I mean really slow. Is there any way to improve the loading speeds of LoadFile function?I tried to load directly from memorystream (without saving file to disk) but it's still slow.I read plenty info about how RichTextBox is slow and all. Has there been any improvements in Visual Studio 2010?

I'm receiving a lot of data at the rate of 19200. I'm using read byte to assemble a buffer and process it. When I receive certain data I need to reply to the sender. I noticed that my replies are not fast enough. So I did a test where I unplugged the sender and noticed I was still receiving data! That I found was because the serial port buffer still had data from the sender that I didn't process. Anyhow I'm using Visual Studio 2005, the serial port object. How can I process the data faster. Would something like SerialPort1.ReadExisting or ReadLine work faster?

I just wondering is there any faster way to save a data into a database. Lets just say i have a datagridview that contains 10,000 records. To save all of it you will use a loop right but it will take a several minutes or maybe a seconds. Same with a datatable right.

What I'm trying to do is iterate through each pixel in a bitmap, and get the color value of each pixel.I've tried using .getpixel, but it's fairly slow. On a 640x480 image, it takes roughly .35 seconds to go through it. Which can add up if doing many pictures.

im making a program to "test darwinism" in C++ and im showing the results in a VB 2010 express app, the results consist of .800x800 bmp files displaying creatures eating , reproducing and evolving. the VB app only has a picture box and it changes the .image param in a timer so that it looks like a video : for example it reads : frame0.bmp then frame1.bmp etc. I get about 30frames seconds with this method (and alot of GB of .bmp files..)the .bmp files are read slower if they never have been read.. for example I get about 5frames/sec when im using new .bmp files while I get 30fps if the files have been read once.. only opening and closing the files doesnt make them load faster, I have to load the bitmap image. I noticed that opening the directory where the .bmp files are and letting windows make preview icons make them load faster too.. that looks weird to me.. something with indexing ?also , my c++ program which creates the .bmp files goes really fast for the 500first but then it becomes slower (even if It just writes black .bmp files in a closed loop). could it be that the hard disc gets overwhelmed by all the writing ?
