I have a program that has multiple tabs, with roughly 100 - 400 controls of varying types on each area. The program takes about...4 seconds to load, which I don't think is right.I did a few memory tests on the program startup, and idling it. At startup, the program uses 100% CPU usage, and 102mb of RAM, but then the form displays, the RAM drops to 20%, and CPU at 0%.Changing a Tab locks the program up for 1 to 2 seconds depending on the tab, and memory fluctuates.Am I doing something wrong here, when a program form has literally over 500 controls of many types, spanning 6 tab pages, or should I be doing something different?

2008 Array Processing and Sequential File Processing
View 14 RepliesIm a college student and this is my first programming class, i am having extremely diffcult time with arrays and sequential file processing. Im not asking for the whole program, just something to get me started and hints along as i progress with it. Please help me get started on my program, its due in 2 days.
Here are the requirements....
1. The program must input any number of individual�s last and first names using two separate textboxes.
2. The array of names must be sorted by the last name using a bubble sort. You must code the sort.
3. The program must be able to recall the names from the file and add to the existing list of names so that more names can be added to, sorted, and written back to the file in sorted order.
4. Sort in ascending order: A to Z
5. All names must be displayed in a listbox in sorted order when the user wishes to see them.
6. In the listbox the last and first names must be separated by a comma and a space. Example: Smith, Mary
7. The user must be able to search for a name in the array, using the binary search algorithm. You must code the search.
8. Do not use module-level variables. Instead you may choose to use Static.
9. The program must be designed using Visual Basic 2008
In Form1 there are a lot of boxes like checkbox, label....I want to show a processing message for opening serial port after program running. So I created Form2 specifically showing "Opening Port...". So in Form1_Load() I used Form2.Show(). However this message showed behind of Form1. I think this was executed before all the other tool boxes loading. So where should I put Form2.Show()?

The problem is it freezes up the program and makes it unusable. I fixed it using timers but it makes my program real sloppy and hard to edit.
I'm trying to find a way to make backgroundworker do what's in the webbrowser. There is a time-consuming part in the webbrowserdocumentcompleted event that I want backgroundworker to tackle. Unfortunately, I don't know how to link that part to backgroundworker so that BW can do that job instead of webbrowser.
Here's what in the webbrowserdocumentcompleted event:
Sub WebBrowser1DocumentCompleted(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As WebBrowserDocumentCompletedEventArgs) Handles WebBrowser1.DocumentCompleted
If CheckBox1.Checked = True Then

The time consuming part starts from line 2 to line 30. My program freezes whenever webbrowser tries to do this job, so I need BW to do this specific job instead.
The program starts. When I click the Start button the original form disappears just as I intended, but then it just hangs there. No picture shows up. The CPU heats up and gets louder. It freezes and I sometimes have to CTRL+ALT+DELETE just to exit the program.[code]

View 15 RepliesI am making a program that requires the user to enter values and select the correct radio button. It freezes when I click Ok button and I am not sure why, I think I am not using the Do Until...Loop properly.
View 19 RepliesIs there a way to code, so that if your program freezes over a period of time (5sec), it just stops trying to do it, and goto something else.
"On ERROR" wont work, since its not a error. "Try" doesnt work ether.
Its because I'm am programming something that can login to a router thought telnet, and sometimes the telnet ActiveX doesn't read the buffer or the line proberly, so when the .GetLine() func is called, it freezes. And i want away to goto another point if it keeps freezing for more than 5secounds. The telnet ActiveX that, I am using is Dimac w3sock.

I just learned some basics of multi threading in VB.net recently as I came across processing a large List of records and inserting them into SQL database one by one.
I have code look like this:
Private Sub btnLoadNow_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnLoadNow.Click
Dim autoLoad1 As New Thread(AddressOf AutoLoad)
autoLoad1.Start()

Itemlists is a global lists i retrieved from database, everything looks fine to me but when i run this program, I found that the threads are inserting one records 9 times into the database(I have 9 threads in total), which makes me think that maybe i need to specifically assign 1/9 of a list to each thread? Is there another way to do it which doesn't require the splitting of the list, if not , how do i split it then assign?
I am connecting to my mail server using IMAP and Telnet. Once I am connected I am marking all items in the inbox as read. Some times the inbox will only have a couple of e-mails, sometimes the inbox may have thousands of e-mails. I am storing the response from the server into a Byte array, but the Byte array has a fixed length. [code]...
But the response from the server varies based on how many e-mails are successfully marked as read since I get one line of confirmation for each e-mail processed. There are times where the response may contain only 10-20 lines, other times it will contain thousands of lines. Is there any way for me to be able to get the response from the server in its entirety? I mean it seems like I would have to know when the server was done processing my request, but I'm not sure how to go about accomplishing this.
So to reiterate my question is: How can I check in my program to see when the server is done processing a response?
I have setup an application to parse about 3000 files a day where each contains around 4000-5000 posts in xml format with like 100 fields.It involves a lot of cleanup and parsing but on average it takes around 6 seconds per post.Now I tried threading but because of the way I have everything set up with variables being overwritten etc...I have divided the files into different folders and just created copies of the program to run and access the assigned folder. It is running on a windows 2008 server with 16 G of memory and I am told I need to reprogram to speed up the process and also not use so much memory.

I have an application that uses SendMessage to send a list of numbers one at a time to a query window in the database we use. The problem is that when SendMessage fills the textbox, then clicks "Query" (hWndQuery) my application freezes up until the query is finished running, which sometimes can take up to 20 minutes depending on the query. Any way to force the program to be responsive after it 'clicks' the query button?
Below is my code - I commented where the program freezes (15 lines up from the bottom):Private Sub Query()
Dim hWndQQ, hWndTextBox, hWndQuery, i, iResult As Integer
Dim sTemp As String
sTemp = ""
bCancel = False

View 9 RepliesMy mate & Myself are currently building a IRC Client, a problem we have come across is when opening a chatroom the form Freezes for example.
We are currently using arrays so we can open multiple chat rooms and at this current time to open a chat room we use
Channels(ChatIndex).Show()
The form opens but freezes.
I have also tried using
Channels(ChatIndex).ShowDialog()
Application.DoEvents()
Using the above code, the form does not freeze but appears we can not access any of the controls such as (RTB)
What would be causing the form to freeze on .show(), Has anyone else had any similar issues?
Of course, it's nice enough to unfreeze itself when the task is completed. I have must at looked at this code for 2 hours, and still can't find the bug.

View 4 RepliesI have a program that starts another program after setting the regkeys basically the program continually syncs the calandar of outlook and another application.I set the regkeys than launch the c:sync.exe app. I have tried a simple process.start and launching the process as a thread and they both do the same thing: The other process starts and works as it should but my main program goes "White screen" or "not responding" until the process.start has exited.
I want the process.start to run in the background so if users click in my main app it responds and truly that they can access the context menu of my main app from the taskbar while the process.start is running.
Has anyone else had issues with Visual Basic 2010?My visual basic program has been running fine for months but recently every time I try and load a project (any project) the program freezes, then I have to close it down and reload, every time I load Visual basic for the second time I get the following error:

lstCommandLine is another one of the listboxes. i need to get the index of the lstStatus item that the loop is working on now which i will store in i. ill need to change the listview subitem from ready to complete and the lstStatus item from ready to complete as well. im guessing that would be in the same loop.

This is used for making notes, so you can keep adding notes on it until it's done.And I know this is not the 'best' way of keeping these records, this is the way how it was kept until now.So now my manager comes to me and asks to make a different structure of processing these notes.Because it is stored this way I can only retrieve full record from the database, but what I need is a way how to take for example only the 'top line' of it.Example:5/25/2009 8:45:49 PM Confirmation send
