How To Improve Performance Of App By Error Catching
Mar 7, 2009
I'm trying to improve my app with some error catching. I have a module that downloads a file from the Internet to a local folder. At the moment, if the local folder doesn't exist, it just crashes here:
strLocalFile = New FileStream(pPath, FileMode.Create, FileAccess.Write, FileShare.None)
with error:
System.IO.DirectoryNotFoundException was unhandled
Message="Could not find a part of the path 'C:Documents and SettingsSimonDesktop estdownload.zip'."
Source="mscorlib"
How can I do something with that error and stop my app from crashing? Ideally, have a messagebox show saying 'directory not found' or similar.

i'm developing vb.net application. There are 10 ways of transactions. I want to produce 'Purchase register report'. For that I want to find what amount of effect has been made by each transaction on ledgers of 'Purchase account'. Purchase account has almost 30 ledgers. And transactions can produce about 10000 rows in database for a year. Now if I produce month wise report for a year, there will be 10000*30=300000 row scanning which makes it very slow in execution.

I have a repeater which takes 270 seconds to render and actually ends up crashing all browsers. The SQL to retrieve the data takes about 10 seconds. I wanted to remove the Eval's to see if that speeds up things a bit, but I am having trouble with the correct syntax. I have doubts that this would actually improve performance as I am dealing with 150,000 records. Would a GridView or other control be faster? Would using LINQ to SQL improve performance? Here is the code for the Eval:

If I took a COM object (specifically Excel 2003 workbook) and made it an embedded resource of my executable, would that improve the notoriously slow .NET-COM interop at all?

I'm currently working with a gridview that has a huge underlying dataset.I'm almost certain that I saw something about a new facility in Visual Studio 2010/.NET 4, which would improve the performance (e.g. doesn't download all the data on databind, but rather only what data required for current page). My guess would be that it was using AJAX.I didn't need it at the time I saw it, and now I can't find it, even though I've been hunting online for a while.

I have 5 errors that come up every time I run my project They are all "A first chance exception of type 'System.ArgumentException' occurred in System.Drawing.dll"
I have try catch blocks around every piece of code I have written, and it does not seem to catch them, so I opted to catch the appdomain.UnHandledException.
That does not seem to catch them either If I step through the code line by line (several hundred lines so I hold down f8) it does not make the error...
Only when I run full speed.
I can only figure that I am accessing something maybe before an object is completely drawn, however how in the heck would anyone suggest I go about finding it, and why will my global event handler not catch them?

I am using BackgroundWorker to connect asynchronously to a database. Private Sub frmMain_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
[Code]...
While my connection is being opened, I have a "Loading" animation show in a lblCalibration. Once it's connected, the animation stops successfully and shows the calibrated record that I am fetching from my db.
However, if there is an error while connecting to my db for any reason, it does not work. My app freezes. The reason is because I am trying to make a cross-thread call while trying to Catch the error in the DoWork event.[URL]..
but still cannot seem to make any progress. Does anyone have any tips or advice on how to properly catch the error and still run BackgroundWorker?

I run a program multiplying decimals with integers. If a user enters a non 0 number etc. the try catch works its charm. i added some lines to clear the text boxes and that works fine but
lblReva.text = ""
does not clear the labels where the answers are displayed, on the contrary it displays the correct value calculated and enters a 0 for the erroneous entry. I would like to clear all the labels and text boxes(except the instruction and assingment labels)so the form is clean once more so the user can try to be "more on" target next time.
Try
decReva = CDec(txtBoxa.Text)
decRevb = CDec(txtBoxb.Text)
[code]....
Not integers but constants declared as decimals but that is immaterial here. "Doh"

I'm editing some settings in the registry and then adding items to a ListView.
[Code]...
If I'm not mistaken, the code will not continue in the Try block if the first part fails and then move on to the catch statement, correct? I'm adding and deleting a bunch of different entries in the registry and the computers I've tried my app on so far, have not failed. So I'm not able to test if this method will work for error catching. If there's a better method, I'd appreciate the info.

I have used the code from the link below to create a basic login page in front of the Microsoft Live Single Sing On.[url] I managed to combine the two together(LiveSSO w/Forms Authentication) turning off the Integrated Authentication in IIS from the SSO setup.All works as expected if the user successfully authenticates with AD. THE PROBLEM that I am having is that when the user failes to authenticate it only returns: "Error authenticating user. Logon failure: unknown user name or bad password". This message appears also when the user is set to change the password at next logon. What I want it to do is to read the error code of exactly why it failed so I can setup a redirect to a password reset page (i.e. if error is "User flag is set to change pswd" etc.etc.)From the page linked above you can see the VB code of LdapAuthentication.vb which does the trick of authenticating the accounts or returning the error message if the login fails. The part that returns the "Error authenticating user. Logon failure: unknown user name or bad password." Is handled by this subroutine:
[code]...
That's what I have been trying to customize to see how it can return a specific code based on the user account AD flags, instead of the generic message

I've been whining for several months about the way Windows 7 prevents application exceptions from actually occurring, and arbitrarily assigns "compatibility settings" without actually detailing what those settings are, even during Visual Studio Debugging operations. Am I just completely ignorant to some setting I can toggle to turn all that garbage off and make Win7 act like an operating system that wasn't designed for a 2 year old? It never hurts to try. In a worst case scenario,

I have worked in Windows Forms for years, and still do. I'm not acquainted at all with the ASP.NET technology and no other Web related technology. I have worked with:
Oracle Form Builder;
Visual dBase 7.5;
Delphi 2.0, 3.0 and 7.0;
Sybase Power Builder 10.5;
Visual Basic 6;
Visual Basic 2003/2005/2008;
And ultimately, Visual C# 2005/2008.
I'm mostly a C# programmer with a growing experience in VB.NET for the current year. What would be the way to go to learn WPF the best possible way while taking into account my experience? And I'd like to know, will learning WPF improve my skills in ASP.NET and the like?

I read a text file every second..[code]The file is generated from another program and it's costantly updated more times per second.The sense of the code (StartIndex) is to read only the rows that I have not read from the last time.The code works without problems until the file is about 2.5 Mb in dimensions... for higher dimensions I have problems and all becomes very slow.Using and fs.Dispose() are like Microsoft suggest (and in fact if i run the code analisys I have no problems), but surely the problem is not here.The question is: is my code right or there is way to improve the reading?? Is there way to read only the tail without to open the whole file?

I'm currently in a programing class for vb.net. It's my first true exposure to OOP and I'm looking for some advice on areas where I could improve. I was wondering if someone would be willing to look at one of my programs that I have written and offer advice on areas where I can improve and things that I made much more complicated than they need to be. I'm not looking for a line by line critique just a general look at things to improve upon in the future.

I'm currently writing a football management game (Australian football) and would like to pretty it up a bit. The match engine simulates each player as a small circle, much like the old Championship Manager games. While I'm fine with this style, I'd like to improve the look. I'm just using the simple graphics tools in VB to draw circles and the oval in the background which they play on. They move around using a timer. It just doesn't look very good. The movement isn't smooth and the circles look jaggy and unprofessional. Given that I'd ultimately like to release this product, I want to make it look a lot better.
What are some 2D graphics engines that I should look at? I don't need fancy animations or anything, just some nice smooth movement and nice looking circles. Doesn't seem like I'm asking for much does it? It'd be also nice if I could add in a chrome-like look or something along those lines.
As for the menus and such, well, they are currently just the boring grey VB style. That's fine for now but, as mentioned earlier, I want to release this game at some point. How can I change all of the menus and such so that this doesn't look like a game made in visual basic...basically. I've seen skins before but I'm not really interested in giving my game some generic style. I want to be able to customize all of it for myself. I just don't know how to! Simply fiddling with the colours and fonts of the default VB controls isn't enough.

In Reporting Service, I need to have a vertical, starting at bottom, bottom-to-top, horizontally middle aligned text.The only way to do this is to create an image in code, and set this image into the title column.See the code below.Basically, it works fine, just that the anti-alias quality is pretty crappy.Is there anything I can do to improve it ?The vertical text is somehow pale, and not full black, and also there is smearing all around the text, in the background color.As well as it appears bolder than the text on the left, but both have format arial, size 8, bold I've tried all other values of System.Drawing.Text.TextRenderingHint.*, as well as no anti-alias at all but the current one seems to be the least crappy.I've also tried to change the image format, to no avail:
Function LoadImage2(ByVal sImageText As String, ByVal sImageTextMax As String) As System.Drawing.Image
sImageTextMax = sImageTextMax.PadRight(15)
Dim iFontSize As Integer = 8 '//Change this as needed
