My first try was to init performance counters in an array, which didnt work. Then I read up on performance counters and from that reading, the constructors are such that performance counters cannot be put in arrays. What does one do for multiprocessing?

I'm trying to weave a .NET performance counter into an application. When I call the incrementBy(value) method on my avg performance counter it is changing the RawValue of my base counter by value as well. I checked the variable names and think everything is correct. Then when I call increment() on my base counter it adds 1 to the rawvalue of the avgcounter as well as incrementing the base counter... adding insult to injury!
In code I'm using two different counters to measure the time a merge sort I wrote takes. I have a instantaneous counter for the elapsed time of the sort and an average counter.
Dim timePiece As New Stopwatch()
timePiece.Start()
MergeSort()
timePiece.Stop()
[Code] .....
I think I may be using the counters wrong, but why does changing the rawvalue of the average seem to also change the rawvalue of the base? i dont think that's supposed to happen.
I am trying to setup performance counters for CPU Usage and Memory Used.I would like a progress bar and a label to display the percentage.I have the below code and although it seems to be half working, there is something just not right.. The memory one seems to be working fine although the CPU one is acting strange.

I've been trying to get memory information from the OS by using Performance Counters. Memory performance information is available from the memory manager through the system performance counters. Right now, I'm working on getting the different types of Kernel Memory, but I'm having issues getting others as well. Through Performance Counters, I've been able to get Paged Virtual and Nonpaged Kernel memory.
The article I mentioned above does not explain how to get the Paged Physical Kernel Memory. It only gives the two I mentioned and the total, which is just the two combine and isn't the Paged Physical. The information isn't straight forward, so I'm using a third party application to compare my results so that I get the correct information. The article gives me Pool Paged Bytes Kernel memory and I found out that it is the Paged Virtual Memory.
I'm declaring this and others like so: [Code] I've researched several other methods, but I can't seem to get anywhere with anything else besides Performance Counters. To sum it up, I'm looking for a method to obtain the Paged Physical Kernel Memory.
Which is less resource-intensive (per se):
> Add controls/components (such as Performance Counters, Timers, etc.) to a project by dragging them onto the form and using them by setting the properties and using code to program what they do.
> Add controls/components (such as Performance Counters, Timers, etc.) to a project by using Dim x As New Performance Counter or Dim y As New Timer in code without actually dragging them from the Toolbox onto the bar at the bottom (under the Form Design).Or is there another way to do this that uses less CPU/RAM/Resources/etc.?

Compiling the program in Visual Basic Express produces no errors. However, if the program is imported into the Excel Developer environment; I get the following error: Expected: end of statement with the equal sign highlighted.

I find the 2010 version very difficult for doing simular projects.
I'm trying to return an array of strings from a function, and got surprised by an error.
I would have expected this to work, but it produces an error:
Public Function TestError() As String()
Return {"foo", "bar"}
End Function

I guess I'm unclear on the meaning of the {}'s - is there a way to implicitly return a string array without explicitly creating & initializing it?
It has been way to long since I have been involved in VB so I need some help here. I have the following in my C# code

Hope everyones doing well, not sure about the new decor around here though..Anyways, i have some labels on my form im trying to use as counters for records in a SQL db. One works just fine, and yet another using an almost identical query is returning very odd figures. If theres 5 records on the db its counting that as 1, and setting the label so. If theres 10 its counting that as 2, if theres 15 its showing 3, and so on.

I'm looking to list all available performance counters (on a server) in my app and allow the user to select what he/she wishes to monitor. Then when they have been selected, hit a button, and the counters will start monitoring.
From using Google so far I can monitor one counter but I'm looking to monitor several user-selected counters. I guess in short I might be looking to re-hash perfmon. Would I need an array or a Microsoft.VisualBasic.Collection?
This is my code that im working on

I am writing a WPF application in VB 2008, and need to establish a connection to another system to get pertinent information and if not exit gracefully without displaying the form. I thought I would be able to do this in the Application classwithin Application_Startup and set some custom properties. However, it doesn't appear I can expose these properties outside the Application class without re-instantiation it, which is bad thing. Even variables set up as Friend don't appear to work either.

I am working with a third-party COM component (i.e. do not have its code). The method in question has the following outline:
HRESULT GetTableInfo(
[in] BSTR bstrTableName,
[in,out] SAFEARRAY(BSTR) bstrColumnTitles,
[in,out] SAFEARRAY(long) lColumnPos );
I have tried to pass a ref to a fixed-size array ((Array)string[6]) and to a List.ToArray(), but it keeps crashing on me. E.g.
Array arr1 = (Array) new string[500];
Array arr2 = (Array) new int[500];
table.GetTableInfo(filename, ref arr1, ref arr2);
To be more specific: I already tried any value for the size (the correct one should be 44). Tried the same for the capacity of a List<>, but that didn't help either. I also tried different types, but it does not accept any other than int.
I don't know why it keeps crashing on me with a general error of that COM component (basically indicating that something is wrong, yet not saying what exactly), since I can confirm that the following VB code works:
Dim TitleList() As String
Dim PositionList() As Long
Call objTable.GetTableInfo(txTableFile.Text, TitleList, PositionList)
I use the splash screen of the vb.net found on windows form.Is there a way that i could put an initializing while my splash screen is running?like other programs do instead of progress bar.
View 16 RepliesI'm using a structure to hold three arrays:
structure myStruct
dim arrayOne() as char
dim arrayTwo() as char
dim arrayThree() as char
end structure
But how do I go about setting them a value, I've got my instance of myStruct
dim aStruct as new myStruct()
If I try redim, it just tells me it can't change the dimensions of an array, so how do I got about initializing the arrays with values?

Wasn't exactly sure how to word the title of the topic the best without making it a really long title, so I just stayed with a brief general topic to lure you guys into it .Anyways, I am using VB.NET and I have a PictureBox inside a panel that is not initially visible. Whenever a user clicks a button, I set the panel to visible, and I use Direct3D9 to render to the PictureBox but it does not work right when I set the panel to visible. I added a PictureBox_Paint function to handle the Paint event, but nothing. An interesting thing is if I sleep for about 1 or 2 seconds after I set the panel to visible and before I draw the picture with DirectX, it will draw it on. So it must be something when it is first setting it to visible that is affecting it. I do not have an actual image inside the picturebox, I am just using it to draw with DirectX.I'm not exactly sure what events are called right when you set the picturebox to visible.
View 6 RepliesI am initializing direct draw by the following:
vb
GraphicsCard = New Device
GraphicsCard.SetCooperativeLevel(Me, CooperativeLevelFlags.FullscreenExclusive)

Now the above works fine... for a fullscreen direct draw app...however i want to make a non-fullscreen app... how can i do that?I have tried several things with no avail and i also want the app to keep drawing when it does not have focus?
Is there a way to have a class collection of inherited types be initialized? For example, here is my code:
Public Class CamryCar
Property Name As String = "Camry"
Property Color As String
End Class
Public Class RedCamry
[Code] .....
I prefer this one as I don't have an extra property to deal with. But I can find a way to initialize that that list with objects of RedCamry and BlueCamry. Is it impossible or is there another way to do this?
In VB.Net is there any difference between the following three ways of initializing object variables
Method 1
Dim commandObject As SqlCommand
commandObject = New SqlCommand("MadeUpCommand")
Method 2
Dim commandObject As SqlCommand = New SqlCommand("MadeUpCommand")
Method 3
Dim commandObject As New SqlCommand("MadeUpCommand")
Is one more efficient than the others, or are they effectively all the same?
I've got some code that looks like this:
If ediFileGroupAbbr = "NIPDSINV" OrElse ediFileGroupAbbr = "WWPDSINV" Then
Dim p As New PrivateBillingAdapter_ForN(ediFileGroupAbbr, businessLocationID, mode, EDIJobItemLogID, BusinessUnitID)
Return p.ProcessEDI(True, False)
ElseIf ediFileGroupAbbr = "FOPDSINV" Then
[code]...
to which I'm passing in a value of ediFileGroupAbbr = "FOPDSINV". But the code is executing as if it's dropping into the third condition (p is a PrivateBillingAdapter). So I've stepped into the code and, sure enough, it drops into the second condition. BUT, if I step into the execution of the constructor, the debugger jumps to an odd place in the code - sort of the middle of a method and not on any actual line of code.A couple clicks and it hops back out of the constructor, still in the second block of code. But if I mouse over the variable p to see it's type, boom, its a PrivateBillingAdapter (from the third block).Like I said, something is clearly wrong but I don't know what. I've tried rebuilding several times but with no new results.This is VS2003, framework 1.1 with VB.NET.
I am creating a desktop application in vb.net by using visual studio 2008 and using ms sql 2008 as back end for my database.As I am creating application on my own system I know my connection string and I have created database manually on my system.
What I want is, when user install application on its system, the database created dynamically at that time on his system and he must enter server name, username and password for ms sql server that application should store for future use.If not at installation, it should atleast check and create database, everytime the user open the application.
