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.

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?

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.
i'm making a utility in which i'm loading 100,000 records again and again, problem is that it takes much time to load records in datagridview every time.
i've used data set and data reader both but same result. if i use paging then there's will be a problem of search a record on keyup event.
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 achieved all functionality what was needed but my issue is creating and disposing the object is time consuming.Is there any method by which we can make it faster .

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]
View 1 RepliesI like to make an console application to measure the time it takes to fully load a web page, what's the best approach to do that? The purpose of this small app is to monitor some pages in a website, in a predetermined interval, in order to be able to know beforehand if something is going wrong with the webserver or the database server. It would be nice to be able to measure the time it takes to fully load the the page (images, css, javascript, etc). I have some code but I is not measuring the fully page.
Dim sw As New System.Diagnostics.Stopwatch
Dim req As System.Net.HttpWebRequest = CType(HttpWebRequest.Create("[URL]"), HttpWebRequest)
sw.Start()
Dim res As System.Net.HttpWebResponse = CType(req.GetResponse(), HttpWebResponse)
sw.Stop()
Dim timeToLoad As TimeSpan = sw.Elapsed
I'm a relatively seasoned VB (COM) vet but this is my first VB.Net application and as is my luck a web services application feeding off a site that I can't publicly mention nor can I post any code that may expose the site.
So, here's the problem. I have written a simple form and have 2 buttons. 1 button simply asks the webservice for it's version. This works no problem. I was able to load the web reference using their supplied WSDL file for this "version" class. Now that I have that working I think "GREAT, that was straight forward. I have my credentials, urls, etc working, the rest of this should be just as straight forward." (See where I jinxed myself here?)
Anyway, I move onto the next WSDL and set of classes and get that reference added no problem. (Man that took a LONG time, like 20 minutes.) I then build my "Get my order data" code syntaxes on the prescribed exposed classes and run my project just to see what errors I get. The "run" process takes almost 45 minutes to an hour..... It's as if the app is getting the WSDL set all over again but doing it over and over..... I have no clue what's going on.
I've tried to disable all the Windows 7 "potential" issues, UAC, firewall, etc, but these changes don't help. Anti virus, spyware, etc all these are off and no difference. I'm running VS2008 as an Admin, right click "run as admin", and have complete control over this machine. Any ideas, suggestions, etc are VERY welcome and I am happy to expose as much of this application as I can providing I can stay with in the rules of the confidentiality contract.

View 2 RepliesI am using vb.net in which I have put the background image to every form. The image size is 1024X768. When I open the form it is taking too much time to open. and screen is fluctuate.
View 1 RepliesOk, this might be something stupid that im not doing right, but here is my problem. Im moving from my 1st form, a small window, into my second form, that is full screen, but it takes like 4-5 seconds to load the full form. It sucks because during this 4-5 second load time, parts of the form at transparent and it just look bad. I think it might be because i have around 35 labels and a few other objects on the form. Does anyone know a way to make this not happen? Im in VB08.

View 4 RepliesI have a question. I am creating a VB .NET application that opens Visio to do some stuff there. Visio runs a splash screen on startup and the only way to stop the splash screen from loading is to use code like:
"C:Program FilesMicrosoft OfficeVisio10Visio.exe" /nologo
"C:Program FilesMicrosoft OfficeVisio11Visio.exe" /nologo
"C:Program FilesMicrosoft OfficeVisio12Visio.exe" /nologo
For each Visio versions in the command line (but I am not using the command line).
The problem I am having is that I can't run this code from my vb .net application, because my application uses the following code to load Visio:
Dim vsoApplication As Application
vsoApplication = New Visio.Application()
vsoApplication.Visible = False
And I do not know how to call the "/nologo" feature on loading time from my code to skip the Visio splash screen.
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?
