Something happened to my VS2005 setup and now the first time load for F1 can take a full minute to load. I think the last significant thing I did was install an add-in for ESRI ArcExplorer. I uninstalled that add-in but help is stil VERY slow to start.Does anyone recognize the problem and have a simple fix?

View 6 RepliesI am loading data from query into a dataadapter and then into a dataset.the datadridview datasource is the set to the dataset.but it takes too long to load the data into the datagridview.
View 2 RepliesThe project is a web app in ASP/VB.net. The issue is that some pages are mind-boggingly slow. After trying to track down the bottleneck, it was discovered to be the load method when filling a datatable with query results.
We are using an Oracle database and queries are executed in stored procedures. As an example, we have a relatively simple select statement within a procedure which returns 2 columns with 6 rows which was determined to take about 0.015 seconds to execute. However it takes on average 7 seconds to load the OracleDataReader into a datatable - a ridiculous amount of time for such a small record set. After messing around with the query, I found that a simple decode statement appeared to be causing the issue. The decode statement is used similar to as follows[code]...
The iBln variable is simply a number being passed in to act as a boolean variable for determining which column should be between two dates. If I comment this decode statement out and make it simply "column1 BETWEEN iDate1 and iDate2" then the load method takes no time at all as it should, signifying that it is indeed the decode statement causing issues.

I wrote last week about a problem with an MDI program that had a large number of forms (each with a large number of controls on it) that was "sluggish" in loading and in switching between the child forms.I've attached an example program in VS2008 (though the actual app is VB2010)Rather than show the hardware control application with all of the text fields, and picture boxes acting as indicators, I made a simple program to show the point. This is exaggerated as this just loads 2000 or so text boxes on a form. In the real app I have ~ 200 assorted controls per form of picture boxes, scroll bars, text boxes, labels etc. Also, there is a large full screen .jpeg as the back ground of each form. All are generated at run time and are placed on the form in the New call of each form. (as in the sample attached)main issue seems to be the methodology I use to switch between child forms. I make the current form .visible = false, and the next.visible = true. I have used this as it "keeps the place" on each page if the user has scrolled or is looking at one section of the form. When the next form .visible = true happens I see the controls added in a "machine gun" fashion instead of all at once.

Is there any way that i can be able to get the ExecutenonQuery to Execute faster. Am using it to run mysql queries that have joins from diffrent tables. As I have come to notice, the user has to wait a while before the statement ExecutenonQuery can be completely executed.. is there any way that I can get it to execute faster?
View 2 RepliesIm using VB2010 professional edition and Ms Access 2007 DB. Main form contains a button which accesses database, fetch results in textboxes and update database. But sometimes it takes almost 40seconds to fetch and sometimes it fetches immediately. Couldn't understand any pattern for this. The table in the database contains 8000records and Main form has 3000 lines of code.
View 2 RepliesWe have old VB6 code, and now that Windows 8 is coming along, we are worried that it won't work. So we have to decide what to port it to. VB.net would seem to make sense, but since it compiles to an intermediate level, its not as fast as programs that compile straight to assembly language. Another choice we found was "Power Basic" which is supposed to be much faster that VB.net.
I happen to like various features of VB.net such as the GUI editor, and intellisense and so forth, and so I'm wondering - is there some way to get around the MSIL (intermediate level) factor in slowing the language down?
its' only me, or is VS2010 really so slooow? This taking 50 seconds to open vs2010, 30 seconds to change from an small project to other small project.as a comparation, in the same machine I can open three different vb6 projects, each one in one different vb6 instance and each one takes "only" three to five seconds. of course I can maintain all the three instances opened all the day, sutching from one to other, debugging, changing, even generatin' exe files, without noticeable penalties.machine is Dell Vostro 1700 4 GB, two internal disks, Win Vista business, Intel Core 2 Duo T 7500 2,2 GHz. two years old.

All of a sudden all vb programs running very slow in XP...... nothing has changed.I took the vb2008 complete out, and reinstalled...... and no difference. other programs like excel run as before, just all my vb2008 programs are really slow.....
View 2 RepliesBasically i have designed an app that runs smoothly on my desktop PC (3GHz processor, 2GB RAM, Windows XP Media Centre (SP3)).
When i put the app on my laptop(1.4GHz processor, 448MB RAM, Windows XP Home Edition (SP2)) it runs really slow and is unusable.
I have tried deploying the app and also just copy the whole folder to my laptop and run the apps *.exe from the bin/debug folder, but it has the same results.
I have tested it on higher spec machines with 2GB RAM and they also replicate the slowness, so i'm at a loss as to why it behaves 100% on my desktop PC, where i have Visual Studio installed but not on any other machine.
My question is if little differences like operating system, RAM, service packs, VS installation, etc, make apps run differently on different machines.
I have designed an application just like it is an Excel table. By changing each textbox the application runs a huge amount of vb code and it takes time.
E.g. you want to enter a three digits number it takes from two to four and sometimes more seconds for ech digit to enter. That`s really embarrassing.
I have a problem with a application, when i start the program the speed is ok.after 1 hour of use the prohram go very slow.

I'm writing a application that need to execute a certain code several times a second. At first, i wrote a Function and used it. But it was too slow... So, using Stopwatch i started measuring the performance of my code. And apparently it was from the funcion call. So i wrote a example code, just a simple loop. And using the Stopwatch it took 4E-6 = 0.000004 seconds. Then i copy and paste the loop code, into a function and made a call to the function. it took 0.03 seconds. It was 7500 times slower with a function call. Why using a function call can be so much slower?[code]...

View 1 RepliesI'm using Visual Studio 2010 Pro on a Windows 7 PC, to build simple VB Windows Form Applications (I've just started learning VB). Lately when I try to debug my applications, it takes unusually long. For example, an application with just a blank form and nothing else will take about a minute to build, and then it will sit for another minute or two until the app window pops up. It didn't use to do this!
