Fast Sorting Using .net 3.5 Framework?
Mar 5, 2010In a scientific application I'm writing (vb.net) I use a huge collection of object stored in a tree structure. Every object exposes a LastAccessed property (datetime) that stores the last time the node was accessed by the algorithm.I need to find a fast way to find the N least accessed objects in the structure.I'm using an algorithm like this (pseudo-code)
dim Olist as new list (of myobject)
....
array.sort(Olist,address of compareByDataReverse)
for index=0 to N-1[code]....
I'm sure there is a better way to do that because the list is normally huge ( consisting of more than 10^6 objects).

View 5 RepliesAccess File With One Of The Fields Indexed (NO Dupes Allowed)?
Nov 24, 2009When writing to an Access file with one of the fields indexed (NO dupes allowed), I am getting the following message in the Immediate Window "A first chance exception of type 'System.Data.OleDb.OleDbException' occurred in System.Data.dll", when I enter a dupe.
I have put in a TRY, CATCH to catch the error and display a msgbox with the error. Is this message in the IMMEDIATE WINDOW just a warning message (generated by access), or is there something wrong with my actual program? My program does not actually crash, it seems to be working great.
Excel Sorting Is Only Sorting One Column Not Multiple?
Mar 12, 2012I'm having my program sort an excel sheet by a few columns. However, it is only sorting by the first column not the rest that I specify.ere is my sort code below:
myRange.Sort(Key1:=myRange.Range("A:A"), Order1:=XlSortOrder.xlAscending, Key2:=myRange.Range("G:G"), Order2:=XlSortOrder.xlAscending, Header:=XlYesNoGuess.xlYes, Orientation:=XlSortOrientation.xlSortColumns)

Wpf - Sorting Observable Collection Incorrectly Sorting?
Aug 20, 2011I have a WPF ObservableCollection which is bound to a ListBox and I have a Sort() method which when called will convert the ObservableCollection to a List(Of T), and undertakes a sort based on a date/time column within the collection.
The data is sorted, even when new items are added to the ObservableCollection, however the date/time isn't being correctly sorted. The data is sorting based on the date however it is very much random when it comes to the time portion. The following is an example of the outcomes I am experiencing:
[Code]...
Is there anything that I am doing incorrectly in this method that would cause the time portion not be included in the sort? Is there a better way of doing a sort?
Getting Fast Hex Reader?
Feb 7, 2011I've been developing a simple virus scanner and it works by reading the hex code of a file and comparing it to signatures from a database. Anyway, the only thing slowing it down is how it reads the hex. This is the hex reading part of my code so far:

What To Do If RichTextBox Is Not Fast Enough
May 17, 2010What I need is to highlight multiple matches within some portion of text as the user types a search pattern. Right now I'm using a RichTextBox to highlight text. The highlighting takes place if a user changes the search pattern and naturally it happens with each key press. It works, but I'm experiencing a performance issues. If the text is large enough the highlighting takes too long (up to several seconds).
Facing that I tried to launch the highlighting procedure in a different thread aborting it and launching it again if the search pattern was changed during the highlighting but still I'm not satisfied with performance. Now I'm asking if there some other control I could use to speed up the process?

Class To Disable Fast IO
Aug 11, 2009OK. I am making application for copying. Problem is that every time application wants to write it first tries to write via fast IO and get response that it isn't allowed and then it writes a file (i am assuming without fast i/o). I have no idea what fast i/o is (i know io is input output -> read write). So I can assume that it is handled by class that I am using to write. I am using System.IO.FileStream and its functions Read and Write. Is there any other class that I can use witch will allow Fast IO or disable trying it in first place (I would like the first solution)? Or should I do something else?

VB Script Running Too Fast?
Apr 12, 2012I have written a logon script using Visual Basic Studio Express 10 and it simply installs printers and adds network shared drives. It does look at the users Active Directory group and add drives / printers. But on occasion it doesn't install the drives or printers.
I've placed a copy of the logon exe on the desktop and if the user finds they are missing drives etc they click on this and add them again. This has never failed so I'm curious as to why exactly the same exe would fail at logon? Is it something to do with speed of the computer or a time out somewhere? A frustrating problem!
DGV Not Updating Fast Enough (Index Out Of Range)
Jan 16, 2010I have this:
vb.net
Private Sub doWork_Tick(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles doWork.Tick
Me.doWork.Stop()
For outer As Integer = 0 To Me.queriedDGV.Rows.Count - 1
For inner As Integer = 0 To Me.hebdataDGV.Rows.Count - 1
Application.DoEvents()
[Code] .....
It works fine when I step through it with F8, but when running normally, I guess it's going so fast that I get an Index out of range when the outer For loop increments to the second iteration. I tried putting a timer in there to give it a chance to update the UI, but that didn't work. I also tried "Application.DoEvents" as a last resort, and that didn't work either.
Fast Count Of Same Object Within List?
Mar 28, 2012I have an operation that will be performed MANY times and so I need it to be as fast as possible, thus I think keeping validations to a minimum is important here.I'm given an image, an offset and a size; and the idea is to take the color that appears the most within the area determined by the size and offset, so far I have this:
Private Shared Function someFunction(image As Bitmap, offset As Point, sampleSize As Size) As Color

Fast Image Selection / Coloring
Jan 13, 2011I have a bundle of tiny pictureboxes on a form. The number is specified by the user, but it could be up to 100, or so. The user can select any set of these pictureboxes by a variety of means. I want to change the image to show the selection state of the pictureboxes, and I'm looking for the best way to do that. The pictureboxes each shows a bitmap. The brute force method would be to have a selected image and an unselected image and just swap them, but it seems like there ought to be a way to do something significant and reversible to the image, such as inverting the colors, that might be smaller that having a second copy of each image.
View 5 RepliesFast Serarch Of 2 Dimensional Array?
Mar 22, 2010I need a method of quickly searching a large 2 dimensional array. I extract the array from Excel, so 1 dimension represents the rows and the second the columns. I wish to obtain a list of the rows where the columns match certain criteria. I need to know the row number (or index of the array).
For example, if I extract a range from excel. I may need to find all rows where column A ="dog" and column B = 7 and column J > "a". I only know which columns and which value to find at run time, so I can't hard code the column index. I could use a simple loop, but is this efficient ? I need to run it several thousand times, searching for different criteria each time.

Fast Way To Read A Text File?
Feb 5, 2009I have a coma separated text file with loads of records. Usually when we read a text file we start from the first line and go towards the last. I know that there will be x comas per record.But I want to start reading from the last line and then towards the top. This enables me to stop before I reach the top (depending on the data).
What would be the fastest way to read a text file in VB.NET?. I am using VS2008. Basically I want to read from last line and go upwards and stop when I want. I may not need to read the entire file.
[Note: I want to store data in an array and not show it in some textbox]

Screen Refresh Speed Is Not Fast Enough?
Jul 3, 2008I am looking for help on how to speed up VB.NET (or C#) screen refresh speed. Specifically I need to update many controls and then refresh them on the screen all at once.I am in charge of writing a .NET interface for an older legacy program. Because this needs to run on slow legacy machines I did a performance test and discovered the screen refresh speeds of VB6 is faster then .NET. In VB6 there is barely a flicker as controls change across the entire form all at once. In VB.NET you can see controls change moving across the form like a wave. I must be doing something wrong...
To do a head to head comparison I put together equivalent VB6 and VB.NET programs, each with a maximized form and 48 labels. Clicking on any label changes the background color of all the labels on the form. To really see the problem it is best to try the following code on a slower machine (1GHz etc.)
In VB6 create a project MyProject and add a form MyForm with the following properties
Caption = "Screen Refresh test VB6"
BackColor = Black
WindowState = Maximized
On that form add a label MyLabel with the following properties:
Index = 0
Caption = "Hello World"
BackColor = Cyan
In the form add the following code:

Ultra Fast Drawing In DotNET
Jun 27, 2009Initial tests indicate that GDI+ (writing in VB.NET) is not fast enough for my purposes. My application needs to be able to draw tens of thousands of particles (coloured circles, very preferably anti-aliased) in a full screen resolution at 20+ frames per second.I'm hesitant to step away from GDI+ since I also require many of the other advanced drawing features (dash patterns, images, text, paths, fills) of GDI+.Looking for good advice about using OpenGL, DirectX or other platforms to speed up particle rendering from within VB.NET. My app is strictly 2D.
