How do i exactly check internet connection speed.I have searched around google and found out a method w/c will Download a file like 1mb size, then it will calculate the speed.
I have a codes that calculates DownLoad speed and UpLoad speed kb/s. I would like to implement this kind. I also want to put such kind of graph. Any article or links where can I start building my own like that.
Say you press and hold down a letter on your keyboard. The first letter gets added, there is a delay and then it repeats quickly on screen. Is it possible to skip this delay and go straight to the repeating part? I realize this might not be a visual basic question as much as a windows question, but if there is some way of toggleing it through my program, or using a workaround, i would like to hear the alternatives ^^ Setting the windows setting to fastest still has a small delay and others users would still experience it on other computers.
My application works fine.However, I am connecting to 5 DBF files and the queries are very slow.[If I copy the DBF files to the local hard drive everything runs fast enough. 30-40 seconds vs. 1-1.5 minutes]The DBF needs to stay on the network.I am hoping that using the index will speed things up enough.Can anyone tell me how or give me a code example on how to index on DBF files?
i am trying to complete a project. My task is to read large TXT files (300 files, 2.2 GB in total) read the customers inside, perform some data calculation and write each customer data to a separate txt file.
I made a code in VB6, it runs fine, however it takes 8 days to run on a quadcore processor, utilizing 20-30% of the CPU. Now I upgraded the code and am running on VB.NET 2008, the latest version. The speed still remains the same, and the CPU usage is also about the same.
Anyway I can make this process faster. I have a quadcore PC with 8GB of ram, possible to maybe make VB utilize all the CPU say 100%? so it executes atleast 2 to 3 times faster.
In the frmPanelSchedule form's load event I am loading 84 labels, 84 comboboxes, 420 textboxes, and 84 buttons.
The form takes a long time to load.Is there a way to speed up the loading of the form?
Private Sub frmpanel1Schedule_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load ' create pole labels lblPole(1) = New Label With lblPole(1)
I want to convert a file to binary code by byte, but it's extremely slow for large files. I found out that the Format command is why it's so slow, is there a substitute?
I have an application in VS (vb) with a database in Access 2007. In the application I have some search functions. They were running very slow until recently when I played around with access andthe indexes. I found that made great improvement in speed. But as the application is running the speed of the searc function diminishes.how to improve speed of the search function and make my database provide faster results.
I'm working on a CMS web app (aren't we all) and wondering if it's better to store the content of web pages as files on disk rather than text fields in MS MSQL.
There will be thousands of pages, a lot of content, so I was loathe to burden the database when it might be quicker this way.
Does anyone know if retrieving the contents of a file on disk is overall faster than reading it from a large database field?
i'm creating an alarm clock for my computer. my alarm is the console.beep() sound. can I somehow alter the interval speed between the beeps using a trackbar? here is my code so far. all i want to know is how i would go about doing this, i like to learn the specific code on my own.

I created a program using VB 2008 to aid me on design work-related calculations that uses Access mdb file for displaying info. and calculations. But I experienced an alarming problem when I converted it to VB 2010 The program execution works in VB 2010 but it can't display the data from an mdb database file.
To simplify and simulate the problem, I created a simple identical program in VB 2008 and VB 2010 showing a window that displays a data extracted from an mdb database file. Both programs run as intended in each environment. When I open the VB 2008 created program under VB 2010, VB 2010 converts it and when I run the program, it doesn't display the data at all.
For some reason, .NET applications that I've written seem to have issues if they're launched when Windows starts (by being in the Startup folder for instance). An application that can finish in 3/10 of a second if one launches it normally may seriously take 45-90 seconds to finish if it was launched when Windows loads. Even if I just manually wait 30 seconds after login and launch the program, it'll complete virtually instantly while a copy launched at startup is still struggling along, so it isn't just that Windows is still loading...this continues AFTER that finishes and all HDD activity stops.Writing something to disk using an IO.anything goes at about 20KB/s during this event.
It's been years since I've had to bother you with my silly questions but those had to do with VB 6. First of all, if I download the VS2010 Express edition will it replace all of my VS2008 edition, or will it be a separate entity. Also, the books I'm studying from are all 2008 -- will they still work on 2010?
I am attempting to write a speed/distance calculator using visual basic 2008 express edition. I have gotten the program to do most everything I need but am having some difficulties and have been trying to fix them for 2 or 3 days now without any success. Will somebody, anybody please tell me how to fix the problems.The calculator should display the distance traveled when the speed and time are entered. This is the only major requirement. However, It needs to have all info input via a list box with popup windows displayed for speed entry and then again for time entry. I would like a label outside of the list box to show "Total Distance Traveled" and I would like the list box to display the following information
I'm upgrading a VB6 project that uses the DriveListBox and DirListBox controls to select one or more folders. They're not available in VB 2008 except via the Compatibility DLL, so I'm thinking about using the Windows 7 Libraries concept instead. But I don't see support for libraries anywhere; does it exist in VB2008, or will it be in VB 2010?
I am trying to show the date that stored in sql2008 in vb2010 by using datetimepicker. Here is my code: Private Sub Load_Project(ByVal cJobNo As String, ByVal nFlag As Integer) Dim lnComboboxIndex As Integer Dim lcSQL As String 'nFlag => 0-Edit 1-Copy Record [Code] .....
Not really asking for code, but I'm interested in knowing the basics of "thread performance".For example, you try to copy a bitmap in a pixel by pixel operation. (Is slow, but it is a nice example)
[code]...
This is, of course, very buggy and causes a lot of violation errors etc. But that doesn't matter right now. How come the multi-threading way is so much faster than the regular routine? Is the processor not running on full speed with the first code, and is it working harder on the second?I find it weird to see this type of "threading performance increase", as if every single thread gets their own piece of processor speed allocated like it is a new process
I'm not sure if I should post this on this thread or in the Database section but I'm using VB2010 so I posted this unto this. I have a fresh installed VB2010 and a Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2.And I can't seem to connect my database to VS2010. I've been searching the net but I can't seem to find the solution to my problem.
I have attached my SQL Server Configuration and the error message I got in VS2010.
After upgrading code to VS2010, the error "MSB3134: The permission set requested by the application exceeded the permissions allowed by the Internet or Intranet zones. Select Full Trust or to continue using partial trust, define your custom permission set in the Security Page of the Project Designer. Bentley Software Loader". The same code ran fine in VS 2008
Is there an easy way to get the CPU name and Speed? Also for Memory to display in MHz?

Was bored and wanted to make a "Mac" like app (About This Mac). I have some experience with Xcode. Never really did programing on windows before. Also, is there any way to call up a control panel through VB.Net? (Windows Update)
