The program I'm writing also creates that hammer_8_8.txt file which is a column of variables next to a column of their values. at the moment my program is really slow at writing the text file so I was wondering if there is a quicker way to do it than the way I have it?[code]...
View 1 RepliesI am writing code that pulls data from database tables and writes them to an XML file (to be picked up by another process). There are bout 60,000 records, and each record can have multiple entites, i.e. a member can have several contacts, each contact can have several phone numbers, etc. The entire process takes several hours, and I've narrowed down the slowness to the actual pull of the data (not writing the XML, or any data processing after it's pulled, etc.). I've tried the code two different ways, with similar results. First I leveraged LINQ queries and created all the elements in one statement:[code]That produced almost no change in amount of time the process took. I then tried stripping out all the elements and reduced the code down to just the database pulls, and it was similarly slow.Is there a faster/better way to pull all this normalized data from the database so I can get it to the XML file as quickly as possible?
View 3 RepliesI found some code online for a vb paint application and I modified it for my use, which is a signature application. It uses a tablet connected to the pc to write the signature on the screen and then save it as a bitmap for later retrieval.The only issue i am having right now is that if you write on the tablet too fast, the signature gets broken up alot, any way to quicken the paint process in the code so that I can get a smoother signature?

View 6 RepliesI am using Visual Studio 2008 on Windows XP SP3. User has Windows 7 Pro (32 bit). The IO code below works for me. The read code works for user, but the write code only works for new files. If the user tries to overwrite a current data file, then no data is written to disk. I have done all the usual IO checking (valid file name, etc.) and have excluded it from my same code. In my app, FileSave and FileSaveAs both call WriteDataFile(FullFileName). Any reasons why FIleSave would work on Windows XP, but not on Windows 7 Pro (32 bit)?

View 1 RepliesI have an issue where I need to load a fixed-length file. Process some of the fields, generate a few others, and finally output a new file. The difficult part is that the file is of part numbers and some of the products are superceded by other products (which can also be superceded). What I need to do is follow the superceded trail to get information I need to replace some of the fields in the row I am looking at. So how can I best handle about 200000 lines from a file and the need to move up and down within the given products? I thought about using a collection to hold the data or a dataset, but I just don't think this is the right way.[code]....
View 1 RepliesI am working on a program with multiple collections related to one another for a school project. Each collection needs to have its own defined properties and have the objects written (1 per line) to a text file.
I have all of that working.
When reading the comma-separated line from the file, I want to place one of the properties of the object in a listbox (so that all the objects' names will show up in the listbox). I think I have this part figured out...
My problem is that when you click on the name in the listbox, I would like multiple text boxes to be populated with the appropriate, corresponding properties of the particular object in the collection...is there a way for this to be done?

View 2 RepliesWhat my program does is load a file (password list), then progressively reads each line of text in the file whilst writing each line to a new file. After X amount of lines have been written, it should start writing the lines of text to a new document until the initial password list has been split into X amount of password lists. The problem I have is that after hours of tweaking, all I can get it to do is write either blank ocuments, or write all of the lines to only one file. I really need it to be able to split into multiple files, preferably at runtime rather than loading a whole text document into the program in a textbox or array then writing it to new files.Below is the source:
