Trim Working Set When Main Form Loads?
Jan 10, 2010
I was wondering if there was a way to trim the working set when the main form loads in vb. I know in C# you can use
SetProcessWorkingSetSize(GetCurrentProcess, -1, -1) API call
But I am not quite sure how to implement this in vb. Basically I got an application that is showing 11,000K+ mem usage in the task manager when in actuality it is really only utilizing about 1,000K if that and I want to try and trim the working set to show the actual usage in the task manager rather than what the framework is reserving.

I have created a project that shows a splash screen first and then shows the main form once the main form has been fully loaded. I only want to show my splash screen once the main form has completely loaded in the background. My main form by itself takes like 3 seconds to load, so I would like to display the splash screen for about 3 seconds and then show the main form because the main form will then be fully loaded, but instead it shows the splash screen for 3 seconds and then the main form still has to load anyway.How can I load the main form in the background and then show it when it is fully loaded?

I have an app that connects to a remote database.The connection to the database is triggered by the form load event of the main start up form which prompts the user for user name and a password.Here is my problem:Sometimes it takes a number of seconds for the database connection to be established after the user has double clicked the desktop icon. this means that during this period it appears that no action is taking place until the startup form becomes visible.Some impatient users assume that nothing is happening and double click the icon again.What I want to do is to have a graphic image or something pop up on the screen immediately when the program starts that displays something like 'Connecting To Database, please be patient"

I am using Compact Framework 3.5 on a Symbol MC50.In my Sub Main it first checks to see if a database exists. If it does, it shows a login screen using the following code:
Dim login As frmLogin = New frmLogin()
If login.ShowDialog() = DialogResult.OK Then
Application.Run(New frmMain())
End If
This all works correctly and, when I close frmMain, it exits the application as expected.However, if the database check in Sub Main fails, I call the ShowDialog() method of another form that is used to create and fill the database from a live server. Here is the code for calling this form:
If Not File.Exists(SETTINGS_LOCALDB) Then
databaseExists = False
MessageBox.Show("Local DB does not exist. The database must be created before using the application.")[code].....
All of this code is being hit and frmMain does indeed load. However, when I click the close button in the top right nothing happens, no event occurs. Its as though the Windows events are not occurring.

Currently I declare my main class on frmMain. as public MyClass as new clsMyClass Thus anywhere in the application I would address it as: frmMain.MyClass.Function(MyParam) This does not look as neat as I would like it. Where can I load this Class so that I can address it as: MyClass.Function(MyParam) from anywhere inside the application.

Within the program, there is a button that opens a file inside of a second form ( DocViewFrm ) and it works fine the first time around. Within this new window, there is a button that uses Me.Close() to close the window and return to the main window. Upon the attempt to open this second form a second time, the program crashes on the Me.DocViewFrm.Show() line. The error message reads:
An unhandled exception of type 'System.ObjectDisposedException' occurred in System.Windows.Forms.dll
Additional information: Cannot access a disposed object.

I wrote this application in VB2008 and it ran for three years without problems(It had one first chance error during that time but ran correctly). I started having problems at the first of this year with a textbox not showing the update for the date code correctly. So I thought that maybe some update to the system had changed and I might need to do some code changes to take into account for these updates.I first tried to convert it to 2010 but the conversion would not operate correctly even though the code showed to be correct.It would jump from one form to another in the middle of a if statement using debug to step through the code. the if statement would just test for a variable to be less than 2 and then be changing the text in a textbox. So I decided that It would take longer to correct the converted application then to just use VB2008.
So I went back to VB2008 and my XP to find out why the date code had quit working. This code had been working correctly for three years.I was thinking some of the code used had become outdated in some way, because a copy of the original source would not run in debug mode correctly. It showed the same problem of not updating the textbox. I stepped through debug and found that it was doing the same thing as the VB2010 version and jumping in the middle of the if statment. So I rewrote the code and used the format string command to build the date code in stead of the seerating out the date into 3 variables using a split statment.This works for the textbox problem and stoped the jumping to a different form. But since I have went back to the original code I have the first chance errors comming up.
I have several first chance exceptions being thrown from debug. This happens when I fisrt start the debug and I have put break points all through the applicatins to try and find the problem I have also enabled debug exceptions Common runtime thrown and it still gives the exceptions but no break point.I have option Strict on. There is no errors or warnings showing after a build. I have cleaned the solution and exausted all my methods of troubleshoooting this problem.The following is what I am recieving while in debug mode in the immediate window.
A first chance exception of type 'System.IndexOutOfRangeException' occurred in LABEL MAKER 2 Forms.exe
A first chance exception of type 'System.IndexOutOfRangeException' occurred in LABEL MAKER 2 Forms.exe
A first chance exception of type 'System.IndexOutOfRangeException' occurred in LABEL MAKER 2 Forms.exe
A first chance exception of type 'System.IndexOutOfRangeException' occurred in LABEL MAKER 2 Forms.exe
A first chance exception of type 'System.InvalidCastException' occurred in Microsoft.VisualBasic.dll
A first chance exception of type 'System.InvalidCastException' occurred in Microsoft.VisualBasic.dll
Now if I run this as a published application I get the same error as the first one on the above list and it gives a error window with continue, exit,and details, if continue is pressed it will allow me to continue and the application runs correctly.The details just say basicly the same as the error with no error number and that the error was in my application.exe. Nethier of these errors will give a break point so that I can find the problem. The problem does not appear to be in my code because this happens before the first form appears.

I have a vb.net project in vs2008. When the project loads, one form is always immediately marked as changed before anything has been done to it. This didn't happen in earlier versions of the form. Nor does it happen with any other forms, classes, modules, etc. I have no idea why it is occurring but I am curious.

is what I have so far. I have a form that needs to load a file externally and populate the combobox. I can get that part if I use a button, but I don't want to use a button. I want it to populate when the form loads for the first time. The below code does not accomplish this, it doesn't even try to load it. I put break points in this code but it never breaks
Private Sub mortCalMain_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load

I am having a problem in Form_Load. When the following code executes the form pops up with out executing any further code: Me.TblAssetsTableAdapter.Fill(Me.ITP400_IP3_ADataSet.tblAssets).
I am trying to use Form_Load to populate values in a ListBox control from an Access database table.It appears the problem was in the Compile settings. It was the 'old' problem of using AnyCPU on an x64 machine. I changed the Compile setting to x86 and the problem disappeared.
