Does anyone know of anyway that it would be possible to speed up the process of loading forms.With VB6, forms (simple ones) was extremely fast but with VB.net, the initial loading of a form (even the simplest one) takes very long. Although it gets better once it's loaded once and the reloaded the next time (almost instanttaneous), but the first time loading gives a bad impression to any user that .net is actually much slower.
View 7 RepliesA button click event on my main form calls:
frmPanelSchedule.Show()
In the frmPanelSchedule form's load event I am loading 84 labels, 84 comboboxes, 420 textboxes, and 84 buttons.
The form takes a long time to load.Is there a way to speed up the loading of the form?

I was currently writting a Cyber Cafe for the client side which start up with a form that maximize and block all the client control like shortcut key and other security. It's fine to work in my pc and it take only about 5 second to startup the application and lock the client. But when i run the application in a pc that installed with games, it took about 40 second to run my apllication. I notice in task manager panel, the process need to read the whole application before it could load my first form. Is there any idea i can speed up my loading time? I have try to set the process priority to "real time" and startup using batch files, but it still need 30 second to load my first form.
View 4 RepliesIt has the ability to recursively grab all .wmv and .mp3 files in any chosen folder, and add them to a playlist.When opening the playlist, my program adds all the songs to an array, then starts adding the songs to a listview, categorizing them by song, artist, album, and genre, using a dll to access the ID3v1 tags on the .mp3 file.It can successfully create playlists of thousands of songs at a somewhat okay speed, the problem is loading that into the categorized listview.It used around 75% of my friend's CPU while loading his 5k+ song playlist into the listview, and it never finished after loading it in for a couple minutes (it auto updates as it loads, because it is done in a new thread.) It never finished because his OS has a bug where, if the CPU usage is over 100% for more then a few mins, it BSOD's, but that's beside the point.
His CPU, by the way, is a quad core 2.33 GHZ processor.The listview loads thousands of songs by using a lot of CPU [low amount of RAM, less then 40MB 99% of the time], and it does it slowly. [code]I've already redone the sub once or twice to speed it up, and at the moment it's 2-3.,

Is there a way to turn off all visual updates to a .NET form while I am manipulating it? When my program first loads, for example, I set the tab control to the tab that was last open. The user can see the program switching tabs.
I have looked into SuspendLayout and ResumeLayout, but either I don't understand what they are doing, or I am not using them correctly, because they don't seem to have any effect. Someone told me that there used to be a way to turn off paint events in VB 6. Does this still exist in .NET?

Button1 is added to form1.

I tried the following.
me.close

Problem: Form hasn't fully initialize but shortcut keys can be usedDetails: Launch an mdi child with database access retrieving data, and user is already using the shortcut keys while the data is still been retrieve which results to error since object hasn't fully initialize yet.
Goal: Hinder user from using shortcut keys by disabling the keys at initialization then enabling it after all objects are good to go.
