I've been using things like FileOpen, and FilePut for a long time in VB.NET, and it's never presented any problems. However in my latest project I'm using CodeDom to compile at runtime, as you know FileOpen, and things like that are the old VB6 methods, such as MsgBox("Msg"), and these don't work. So I need to know how to do this using only the newer VB.NET code.

View 2 RepliesI'm going to design an Application (C# or VB.NET) which use .NET Framework to run for very long time. It may be restarted every year or even more...Is there anything (using special design patterns or so) which I must care about in designing "Long time running applications in .NET"?
View 3 RepliesI'm looking for the equivalent to a Java System.currentTimeMilli(), in VB.NET.What is the method to call? I know about Datetime.Now, but not about the actual conversion to long milliseconds.More details about my specific need: I need to manage a login expiration. So most likely when I log in, I will set a "expiration_time_milli", equal to the current time + the timeout value. Then later, if I want to check if my login is valid, I will check is "expiration_time_milli" is still superior to current time.
View 4 RepliesI wrote a program which loops through a very long CSV file (50 meg) and parses the data as it goes.Sometimes, the program aborts and I get the following message:The CLR has been unable to transition from COM context 0x37a090 to COM context 0x37a200 for 60 seconds. The thread that owns the destination context/apartment is most likely either doing a non pumping wait or processing a very long running operation without pumping Windows messages. This situation generally has a negative performance impact and may even lead to the application becoming non responsive or memory usage accumulating continually over time. To avoid this problem, all single threaded apartment (STA) threads should use pumping wait primitives (such as CoWaitForMultipleHandles) and routinely pump messages during long running operations.
I know its going to take a while. There are several hundred thousand lines of text in the file that this program is reading. I am not sure exacly waht the message means, but my program seems to work fine other than the message. odd thing is sometimes the message doesnt always pop up..
I've a solution with 15 projects (14 class libraries and one web application). Each class library has corresponding test project (i.e. if I have MyApp.Services project there exists MyApp.Services.Tests -- using NUnit). Everything is written in VB.NET. The problem is that when VS tries to compile any of *.Tests project it stops responding (the bigger the project the longer the period without reposnse). I don't know where to start looking for an issue. I'll add that I've R# 4.5 installed.
UPDATE 1:Is there any way to benchmark a build in visual studio? To get build times for every project?
UPDATE 2:It seems that there is no difference after disabling R#.
Occasionally, my website will stop functioning and anytime an ASP page is accessed, the browser will hang for many minutes before bringing up a correctly formatted HTML page with nothing in the tag. It seems to happen whenever more than one person attempts to access an ASP page, but I'm not positive it's isolated to those conditions.
Let me emphasize that the issue does not arise when accessing directories/HTML pages/other files. Only ASP pages are the problem. I am using lunarpages as a host.
I have a problem with my (aspx.vb, aspx) program. Since my vb program require more than a day to make some data analysis. however, the page always run a long period(one hours exactly) will be downed and become cant display the page. i am wondering is it related to dns error?

I'm trying to time how long an operation takes in Visual Basic (VS 2008) but its not working. the code I have is as follows:
[code]...
this is in an OnClick event, so what happens is that the user can click a menu item, and it goes and sends any changes it has to a database, and pulls down any new changes to a local data cache. This operation takes time, depending on how many changes are on the server and how many are cached locally. I've thought about making this a background task, so it doesn't draw away from the main app while it's running, but before doing that, I'd like to get an idea how long the operation takes. Since I can't exactly do a progress bar, I figured using the stopwatch would tell me how many ticks/milliseconds would occur between click, and when the "total synced" message comes up, but every time i run it and do an update the message always shows 0 ticks/ms. I don't think it's accounting for the delay, just from start to finish. Is there any way to make it so it detects a message popping up and times off that?
i want know fileput function and fileget function how to use and what they do and any source?
View 14 RepliesI recently upgraded an application that creates several report files, that are read by an older VB6 application that i cannot upgrade. I've gotten everything working (faster than i expected) except the new FilePut. I'm saving the ubound of an array, which is a UDT, Then saving the array itself(which again, is a UDT)No matter what I do, the file is about 7 b larger, and doesnt want to read in at all in VB6. For example, I put an 32 bit integer into the file, say 4000, VB6 reads it as 3948395 or so, it seems its padding the file at the beginning or something.
And Yes, i've tried microsofts ArrayIsDynamic function, but it seems to have made no difference at all.
I need to find the best solution to count how long it takes to make a request to database like connect, do a select and receive the answer. And if that take more than 300 milliseconds I must cut the connection.

View 1 RepliesI am on one asignment of convering C# to VB.net and stuck up with this problem.C# application has one class having inline two dimensional array initialized with size 168X168. I converted same class to Vb.net. Now whenever I create instance of my this VB.net class, It take almost 3 minute.
To figure out problem, I put break point on sub new() (first line of my constructor), and behaviour is realy strange because it takes 3 minutes to reach at first point of my constructor.Whenever I comment out my large size array initialization code, It works perfect. Now please note that same code is working fine in C#. It is not taking even few millisecond to initialize that class.

I am writing an application for managing mp3 files. I use AXWindowsMediaPlayer1 for playing files and UltraID3 for reading and writing ID3 tags. Every time the user selects to switch to next song, the ID3 tags of the current file need to be updated. My problem is with Media Player taking a long time to release a file for access after doing a "close". Currently I need to add a 6 seconds delay between the "Close" method of the media player and the ID3 tag "Write", otherwise I get the error saying that the file is currently in use. Anything less than 6 seconds does not work...

MVC3 vb.net. In my app I have a point where 500+ emails with attachments are sent out using a for each loop to accomplish this.. Nothing is returned to the browser the entire time this is running so eventually the browser think it has timed out... I tried just having it redirect to another actionresult function after every email and that function just passes it back to the email function. This is not working and I feel the reason is that nothing is actually being sent to the browser window its self.. Is there a way to fix this issue??

View 3 RepliesIn VB6 I can open a file for binary read/write and then use Put and Get to write Type structures straight to disk and subsequently retrieve that information straight from disk and right back into the structure. The syntax is pretty straightforward, and it works fast and without flaw.
In VB.NET I've tried the same thing. But in absence of a "Type" variable, I've tried using Structure ... End Structure, which should basically be the same thing.The problem is, though we can write the structure to disk:
Dim FileNo as Integer
Dim FilePath as String
FileNo = FreeFile()
FilePath = "C:TestFile.dat"
[code]....
I need to create an extremely large and complex structure that will be used in a whole slough of ways, and when all work is done I need to write that structure straight to disk using a binary mode. When that information is needed again, I need to be able to get it back just the way it was saved and continue working with it again. The basic outline of the concept is illustrated above, which works--as I mentioned above--flawlessly in VB6.
I'm working on converting this code:
FileOpen(1, Application.StartupPath & "Stub.exe", _
