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.

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.
View 5 RepliesIs there any difference between VB 2005 (from Visual Studio 2005) and VB.Net 2.0, either for using ASP.NET or Windows-based apps as a front end for SQL Server databases? I'm upgrading from VB6 to Visual Studio 2005. My research seems to show that VB.Net 2.0 is integrated into Visual Studio 2005, and the VB-specific books seem to only refer to VB in terms of 2005, 2008, etc.; I'm just trying to find out if they are the same or what the differences are.

View 2 RepliesThe particular control I'm trying to figure out is a UserControl. When I design it as a separate DLL, add it to the Toolbox, then drag it onto the form, it shows up. But when I declare the instance in Form_Load & add it to the Forms Controls, it doesn't show up. (Note that I'm dealing with two different UserControls here as what I don't really want to do is create it as a DLL. It's specific to this project & that's where I want it-in this project. I suppose I could create it as a separate project in this solution, but again-that's not what I want to do. I can add a UserControl to this project, but I can't seem to *use* it. Frustrating.)
Dim X As New Class3
X.Size = New System.Drawing.Size(96, 74)
X.Location = New System.Drawing.Point(5, 5)
Me.Controls.Add(X)
Me.Refresh()
Class3 inherits System.Windows.forms.UserControl, and contains a label.OK, found that I can make the UserControl appear by setting the BackColor (X.BackColor=). Doesn't seem like I should need to do that as it's set in Class3, but apparently when I add it to the form it picks up the form's backcolor-which might be the way UserControls work.
But, it still doesn't show the label that's on the UserControl-just a block of color where I placed the UserControl.And now, I might have solved this problem only to raise another. I finally noticed that although Class3 had an InitializeComponent sub it lacked a Sub New-so it never called the InitializeComponent sub.
I added a Sub New that does nothing except call InitializeComponent & now I'm getting the whole thing. I guess now the question is why the Sub New is required for Class3 but not for the DLL? (Or maybe it was created automatically for the DLL but not for Class3? I'll check the hidden code in the DLL project to see if it was created or not.)

View 4 RepliesIf you have a form with two datagridviews that were dragged on to the form from a datasource that have a parent/child relationship with foreign key constraints. Is there any difference between using the binding navigator Delete button or adding a button to the form and in the Click event put "somebindingsource. RemoveCurrent". Basically what I'm trying to find out is if clicking the navigator Delete button causes "Removecurrent" or does it do something else or something additional.

When I am concatenating object values together to form a string in VB.NET, is there a difference in performance or a recommended best practice between using the & concat or the + concat with calls to .ToString() on each object?
Example (which is faster or best practice):
Dim result1 As String = 10 & "em"
Dim result2 As String = 10.ToString() + "em"

sol() is a global variable that contains the characteristics of our 14 computers (in our own format, lol) which we then compare to the users input (via combobox). With "ordi" we "format" the choise of the user to match our format. then the grand comparing begins... the first for-loop should select the computers which fit best but we don't know how to "skip" that computer if the comparison doesn't fit (after all, we still want to use that computer for a second or third choise!). After that the next for-loop should pick the best fitting computer as no.1 (going from top priority down).
