VS 2008 - Anyway To Time How Long It Takes A Message Box To Pop Up?
Sep 9, 2009
I'm trying to time how long an operation takes in Visual Basic (VS 2008) but its not working. the code I have is as follows:
[code]...
this is in an OnClick event, so what happens is that the user can click a menu item, and it goes and sends any changes it has to a database, and pulls down any new changes to a local data cache. This operation takes time, depending on how many changes are on the server and how many are cached locally. I've thought about making this a background task, so it doesn't draw away from the main app while it's running, but before doing that, I'd like to get an idea how long the operation takes. Since I can't exactly do a progress bar, I figured using the stopwatch would tell me how many ticks/milliseconds would occur between click, and when the "total synced" message comes up, but every time i run it and do an update the message always shows 0 ticks/ms. I don't think it's accounting for the delay, just from start to finish. Is there any way to make it so it detects a message popping up and times off that?

I am using the below code to get the local Administrator members, but this code takes about 6-7 seconds to execute. More precisely the "GetObject" takes that long.Is there another way to get the same information but faster?Also, where can I find what other properties the objects holds ? (To see what other useful information I can get)[code]

Whenever I publish my app, or when I run the exe from teh debug folder it takes a couple of seconds before the splash screen shows.However, when I run it from within VB (by pressing the "play" button) the splash screen shows immediately.
What could be the cause of this?

Here's the (Timer1's interval is set to "1" in the designer, and it is set to "Enabled" in the designer as well.)
vb.net
Public timeElapsed As Int32Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
timeElapsed = 0
Timer1.Start()
[Code]...
The issue is, timeElapsed always comes back as equaling 0, so fileCopySpeed always equals infinity. Also note that test.dat is a 100MB file. There's no way it's getting copied in under 1 millisecond!

I have a client application that connects to a WCF service, i get the file size from the server as a long value then i convert it at the client to a string so it appears like ex:52.21 MB the application gets too many files sizes every time user changes the directory pathso the question is :should i convert the values to a string format from WCF service app then return it to the client as a string format or should i just return the size as a long value and let the client to convert it to a string format in other way which value take more bytes in the memory:

I'm using the following code to fetch a mac address
Try
Dim cls As New ManagementClass("\" & IP & "
ootcimv2", "Win32_NetworkAdapter", New ObjectGetOptions(Nothing, TimeSpan.MaxValue, False))
Dim col As Object
[Code]...
It is working as expected. My problem is that it seems to wait far too long for devices which do not respond, and when the output of GotMac is "The RPC server is unavailable. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x800706BA)" How do I shorten the wait time for these types of events?

I am creating a WPF Application that uses Fluent library.
On my computer with Windows 7, 2GB RAM and AMD Triple Core processor, after double clicking on the program icon, The Splash image shows after about 1-2 seconds.
But on my brother's old computer with Windows XP, 512MB RAM and Intel Celeron 2.0 GHz Processor (Single core), after double clicking on the program icon, First, a process called PresentationFontCache.exe runs and it uses almost 100% of CPU for some seconds. And Total time is needed for displaying the initial Splash image is almost 30 seconds (or more).
I don't want that some users have to wait 30 seconds for displaying splash image and about 7-8 seconds for loading application. (my application load process takes 7-8 seconds)

I've been using VB for exactly a week today and for that past 4 hours I've been pulling my hair out! My problem is that our software can only run on one PC on a site, if two instances are running they cause issues. So instead of checking each PC individually I created a program with VB to do this (and other tasks) for me. The problem with the network search is that if I cannot access a remote PC (usually access is denied) then it hangs for a long time before moving on to the next. Can I introduce a timeout feature where the program tries to access the c drive but if it does this for more than 5 seconds and gets nowhere then it moves on? [code]'testcpath' is \pcnamec$ and the other two paths look for the software I'd need to remove if found. So basically, if I have access to every c drive it works fine and completes within a few minutes. If I don't have access to even a small amount then it takes an absolute age.

I wrote an app in Visual Studio and is about 20k+ lines, but I don't know why it takes so long to start up. I have a splash screen just to test it to see if the program is working, and it is, but I have to wait for so long for the app to actually get to the start up form. A splash screen for this app isn't ideal, but was only using a splash screen for test purposes.

I've written a small application that keeps track of my thesis notes and essentially I have a few textboxes for keywords, ideas and notes. When I type in the textboxes and hit my update button it works fine...when I cut and paste from a text editor into the textboxes and then hit my update button it takes way to long to return control to the form. Is there something I need to do to text that is copied and pasted into a text box before I send it to the database?

I made two applications the first one calls the other. But the other application takes time to load. Even on a fast Pc. So i was thinking of adding a loading form to it. For example when the other application is done loading the loading form goes away.

in my program i have a timer, and every 5 sec (for example) i send a string by serial.i have to read every key pressed between each 5 sec and send a number that tells me what i am sending.what I've done is to send 1 as long as up key is pressed and send 8 as long as left key is pressed and send 9 as long as both are pressed.when i run my program, the first time i press up and left at the same time and i keep them pressed, the serial send me the first time 9 and then ignores the up key and send me 8 always.and sometimes send me 9 and after that always send me 1 and ignores the left key..the point is that vb ignores the first button i press even if i keep pressing it..what should i do to make vb.net takes two arrows keys at the same time?

I upgraded vb6 project to vb.net. Conversion of 3 user controls from vb6 to vb.net have done. Some converted code contains code like:
VB6.TwipsToPixelsY(LedHeight)
MyBase.Width = VB6.TwipsToPixelsX(VB6.PixelsToTwipsX(LedCol(0).Width) + 15)
The converted project takes too much time to load than previous vb6 project. What manual changes to the code should be done or is there any other option. Is it due to vb6 to vb.net conversion.

Basically, It is a program that allows you to automatically click things.
Here is the
Public Class Form1
Private Declare Function GetAsyncKeyState Lib "user32" (ByVal vkey As Long) As Integer
[Code].....
What I wanted to do was make an option to have variations in tick time. I want to put in a check box, and if it is checked then there will be 10 "variations" in click time, ranging from 1 second too soon, to 1 second late.

I have the below code. What happens if the Upload method takes more than one minute for completion? Does the timer kick off another call to the Upload method immediately after one minute is over or Does it wait until the method finishes executing? I am implementing this as a windows service.

Dim tmr As Timer = New Timer(New TimerCallback(AddressOf Upload), Nothing, 1000, 60000)

I have 4k records in access database. And one of the field value contains ~100 lines each so and one other field has ~25 lines. So total database size reaches ~30MB and it takes lot of time 15-20 seconds to load the database in vb.net using odbc [URL]..and updating of any other small fields also takes time due to database being large
So as an alternative I used rtf file (txt files were not preserving all the newline characters). So these file are around 5-10kb only. But for 4k records and 2 fields I have now 8k files. And copying of these 8k rtf files is taking huge time for 5MB transfer it takes an hour or so.So is there any other alternative for storage of this data. So that it will be portable and easily loaded/accessed/updated from vb.net?

I have Visual Basics 2008 express and I tried to make a autotyper, so this is my
Button1: Timer1.Start
Timer1: Timer2.Start
Timer2: SendKeys.Send(Textbox.text)
Button2: Timer2.Stop
So it was my first try ever with VB and it kind of worked... Only 2 problems;
1. Button 2 doesn't really work, I have to click it really many times, then go to a different window, then click it really many times again, in the meantime it keeps on spamming
2. How do I make my autotyper press enter every single time after the textbox message was typed?
