VS 2005 Slow Performance With Backend Ms Access?
Apr 2, 2009
I have built an application using VB 2005 express edition with backend Ms Access 2000. In main form(which is loaded on startup), I am having 9 datagridviews, each bound with databindingsources. I am refreshing this data every 15 seconds by refilling the table adapters and updating the datagridviews.Now, this access database is shared in the network and is accessed by about 5-6 users concurrently. There are other forms which are used to edit the data.My problem is poor performance of the application. Its very slow in opening up forms, not responding sometimes and using the network resources fully.

We are thinking about changing our current database system, MS Access 2007 front end and MS SQL Server 2005 backend to using a higher level language such as Visual Basic .Net. I wonder if this is the BEST solution for data management? Currently, among others, we have two big database programs that handle more than two hundred users and it's crashed often. That's the reason we think about changing to something that can handle these database programs effectively preferably using MS technology such as .Net.

I've got a DataGridView control that is bound to a datatable. The first cell of each row in the DataGrid is a checkbox. When the screen loads all of the checkboxes are unchecked by default. I have a "Select All" button to check all of the boxes. This is performing very slowly when I have a large number of rows in the grid. If I have 1,000 rows it takes over 30 seconds for them all to be checked. When I had 5,000 rows I gave up after 5+ minutes with no result. To check all of the boxes I am looping through each row of the datatable and setting the first item to True:
[code]...
Since that yielded such slow results I changed the logic to loop through each row of the datagrid and set the cell to True but that took three times as long.
Is there a way to quickly "check all" on a large set of data?

while using VS 2008 SP1 for VB WinForm apps (on Win 7 Ultimate machine),I find that while the performance of VS 2008 is on the slow side, it is generally tolerable except for one thing: when selecting an image for a button, the "Select Resource" dialog will come up, and I choose "local resource", then Import. After navigating to the appropriate folder and selecting the desired image,I will almost always get the "hourglass" (now the blue whirly thing),and only after several seconds will the operation complete(i.e. the "Select Resource" dialog will show the image I selected,and then I can close it and be on my merry way). Typically while the whirly thing is going, the dialog box title will say "Select Resource (Not Responding)". Also on some occasions during the wait period, the Select Resource dialog will hide, and I will have to click the VS icon in the taskbar to make it reappear so the operation can complete.

In my winform application, I have 2 datatables, both contains 37000 rows. Table 1 has 171 columns and Table 2 has 4 columns. A While loop runs to update values in Table 1 from Table 2 for 4 columns. A For loop runs inside While twice to update values. It takes more than 5 min to do so. which i think should be a task of 5 seconds.
Columns being updated are:
Int64 - 1 Columns
String - 1 Columns

i have a datagridview which have 3 columns, two button columns increase or decrease, 3rd displays the value increased or decreased from button. i have datagridview_CellContentClik behind button columns. The problem is increase in value on pressing button is very slow. i mean if i press button quickly the value should increase quickly but its the same slow pace for increasing or decreasing value on pressing button.

I am new to the world of VB.NET and have been tasked to put together a little program to search a directory of about 2000 Excel spreadsheets and put together a list to display based on the value of a Custom Document Property within that spreadsheet file. Given that I am far from a computer programmer by education or trade, this has been an adventure.
I've gotten it to work, the results are fine. The problem is, it takes well over a minute to run. It is being run over a LAN connection. When I run it locally (using a 'test' directory of about 300 files) it executes in about 4 seconds.I'm not sure even what to expect as a reasonable execution speed, so I thought I would ask here.The code is below, if anyone thinks changes there might be of use in speeding things up.

Dim di As New IO.DirectoryInfo(dir_loc)
Dim aryFiles As IO.FileInfo() = di.GetFiles("*" & ext_to_check)[code]....

I have a windows app created in 2005 with sql server backend. There's also a web service that is located on a web server at a hosting facility. In my app, when ever it needs to interact with the data, it calls the web service.Ive been having this issue with several screens that Ive developed in .Net. The user enters a date, and saves to the database. When the datagridview is refreshed, the date that they entered always displays one day earlier. Eg. If they entered 4/18/2012, it displays as: 4/17/2012.
The date is correct in the database. I verified that the problem resides on the web server. The default timezone set on the server is GMT -06.00 Central Time(US and Canada) and it cannot be changed on the shared server. The time zone where I'm at is Pacific Standard time. I'm not sure the best way to deal with this issue. Here's one way I was thinking: Retrieve today's date from the server (don't know how to do this), and compare it to the date on my machine so I know the difference. Then, when I'm looping through the datatable, add this same number to the dates to display correctly. Maybe it's better to retreive it from the database via the sql?

My problem is that I need to use a access database as a backend for my visual basic.net program.
The database will be accessed by a maximum of 10 users but I want to lock tables when a user is updating a record.
I am unable to use the SQL server at the company due to it storing sensitive information.
I have some basic knowledge of ado.net
I have read many articles but I can't find any articles that say how to lock a access .mdb file using Visual basic.net

I am writing an application to gather, display and export system information for use with a Support Dept.Is there a performance difference between using WMI and My.Computer.X.X in VS 2005? Is one method better practice than the other?There are more lines with WMI, but am willing to write more if it's considered good practice over using My.Computer.X.X.

Im using VB2010 professional edition and Ms Access 2007 DB. Main form contains a button which accesses database, fetch results in textboxes and update database. But sometimes it takes almost 40seconds to fetch and sometimes it fetches immediately. Couldn't understand any pattern for this. The table in the database contains 8000records and Main form has 3000 lines of code.

I've got a database that's 13,000 lines long and I'm trying to load this into a string array when the program loads but it takes approx 5-6 minutes for it to load it.I've got a MS Access database or an Excel file that I can load this information from, each has two rows: SVONo, Description This is my current MS Access
[code]...
Does anyone have any idea of how to make it faster? Or does anyone have a better way?I did have the idea of loading it by letting the user select the first letter and then only loading the ones that begin with that letter but I've got 4000-5000 'S' ones and it still takes about 2-3 minutes to load it All I want is to load the data from the database or the excel file and then put the products into 'cboProducts' and the 'cboProducts AutoCompleSourceList' and the descriptions into the 'txtDescriptions' AutoCompleteSourceList and a string array.Then when the user selects a product using 'cboProducts' the description will automatically be put into 'txtDescription'.

I have a .NET application (VB.NET) that runs against a MS Access database. Every data request connects to the access database, runs and returns the query and closes the connection back again. I placed the database on a windows xp 32-bit machine. I have two clients on which I installed the .NET application. Both clients are running windows 7 professional 32-bit. Now I have a performance problem with this.
When I use the first client it runs fine. All data is shown very fast. When I than use the second client, it takes some 10 seconds to connect to the database, fetch the data and close the database connection. When i ask for other data on that second client, it all runs fine, until I request data from the first client than back again. Than it takes again 10 seconds on the first client before my data is fetched.

I have to generate about 800 excel files from an access database.
For the first 10-15 of them it's working nice, a few seconds/excel file but it's constantly taking longer, at the 150th excel file it's taking 10 minutes.
Here is my code:
It's doing this for each nrliste in the access table (about 800 of them)

Where ls!Concatenare = nrliste(i) _

I have looked all over for a solution to this problem and have tried a bunch of different things, but nothing seems to work.I have a sub procedure that does the following:
1) adds two columns to a data table (table1)
2) fills a dataset with several tables in order to make calculations (this determines the data that will be stored in the two new columns of table1)
3) updates ONLY table1, and ONLY the two columns that have just been added (these columns are thus empty for every row before the update begins)
As it is now, the da.Update takes about 3 hours to populate the entire table (it updates about 300 records per MINUTE if I'm lucky). There are approximately 40000 records in table1 for this test subset, but there will eventually be up to 1.5-2 million (in other words, this is a small table currently). I have tried using executenonquery() along with a sql UPDATE command instead of da.Update, as well as many other things, but none of them has improved performance at all. I've also tested it on two PCs, one running Vista and one XP, and there were no differences. I'm using Access 2003. I know Access is not ideal, but for now it is the only option.
I know that the root of this is the line of code with the da.Update, because the giant loop before it that I previously thought was causing the slowdown executes in 30 seconds, leaving only the update before the subroutine is complete. I don't know how exactly the da.Update works, but I've suspected that maybe it has something to do with that? Code is below:

I noticed that my application is running a bit slow. This is a Windows Service built using VB2010 with SQL Server as a back end. Its main function is to poll a folder looking for a text file. If found it reads the text file and imports the data into SQL Server.
While the slowness could be caused by a number of reasons, I am looking at my code to determine if it could be more efficient. Below I've pasted snippets of code where I initialize the DB connection and execute SQL statements. I've also included a snippet that illustrates how I am processing the text file.
I'd appreciate if the group could have a look at these and let me know if the method that I am using is the most efficient possible. At this time I am also focusing on other probable issues, but I can't rule out the possibility that the code that is in place might be a contributing factor.

I'm using Visual Basic Express 2008 to create an interface with a order database in MS Access 2007 (.accdb file). Everything is fully functional except updating the "Inventory" table is very slow. Updating around 2200 items takes almost 2 minutes and the window will appear as "not responding" for the duration if you click away and come back. Here is the process:1. Tab-delimited text file is picked by user, which includes all inventory items (not just new ones)2. Each line from text is parsed and read into variables (tempSKU, tempItemTitle, etc.)3. Old items are updated and new ones are added. -> This is the bottleneck
I used to have a series of IF statements to check which elements were changed and report them, but that was about 2x as slow. The new code is a little faster but doesn't provide the feedback I liked (update part is commented around):
Private Sub btnImportInv_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) andles btnImportInv.Click

I have a program in VB.NET 2005. At some point I have to open an Access2003-Application for getting data in it. I do that by pretending my program is a human user and let it do all the work in Access as a human user would do. Filling Fields, pressing buttons etc. I use the Primary Interop Assemblies for that. So far so good. That code is in use for over half a year now. In the last week I got Office 2007 installed on my machine. Of course I tested the installed version of my program if everthing still works. Every test was succesfull. But if I do the same tests in Visual Studio it always crashes.
All I get is this Errormessage: {"Das COM-Objekt des Typs "Microsoft.Office.Interop.Access.FormClass" kann nicht in den Schnittstellentyp "Microsoft.Office.Interop.Access._Form3" umgewandelt werden. Dieser Vorgang konnte nicht durchgefhrt werden, da der QueryInterface-Aufruf an die COM-Komponente fr die Schnittstelle mit der IID "{66B22FB4-F70E-4F03-A00A-F76E9ADBBF10}" aufgrund des folgenden Fehlers nicht durchgefhrt werden konnte: Schnittstelle nicht untersttzt (Ausnahme von HRESULT: 0x80004002 (E_NOINTERFACE))."}
For all who can't read german:
"Microsoft.Office.Interop.Access.FormClass" can't be converted in to "Microsoft.Office.Interop.Access._Form3" ... Interface is not supported.

Dim access As Microsoft.Office.Interop.Access.Application = Nothing

The Error occurs when I try to access any property of "access.Forms("frmTest")"

I have two Access database, say database One.mdb and Two.mdb. I want to use VB2005 to export tblCustomer from One.mdb to Two.mdb, and replace the existing tblCustomer in Two.mdb, during run time. I basically want to simulate the export function that is available in MS Access (which can export one table from one Access database to another) with VB2005 during run time. I can think of a way by querying the table to a dataset and then delete everything on the other database before filling the table in that database with the dataset. However, there should be something simpler and faster than that, shouldn't it? Any idea?
