I have a loop in my program that iterates at the start about 20,000 - 25,000 times per second. By the end of the loop, the iteration is down to about 6000 per second. [Code] The Alphabetize function merely returns the string with it's Chars in abc order. Can you see any bottlenecks or any reasons for the slowdown?

I'm trying to animate a game piece by using a picture box where the x,y location is changed as the image changes (cycles through a walk animation sequence). This all works fine, however it's too damn quick. I've tried slowing it down using a simple:
for z=1 to 1000000: next
While this works-ish there must be an easier way to slow down code....is there? On a related matter: Why does picturebox animation look so crap compared to combining images in the paint screen section? My picturebox seems to flicker every few frames.
So I got this program to generate me some data and I want to show that data to a label.
If I don't do a display I can generate about 20,000 data per second, but if I do, I get about ~9,000 data per second.
PS. Since the generating logic in is a thread, I have a function that does the displaying to the label.
I'm using a KeyPress event in a VB form to move a game character around with keys. There are obstacles being moved every timer tick event. But if the player holds one of the movement keys down, the objects moving on timer ticks stop moving.

rate 1 is fast.. is there any way to slow it down? but rate 1 is suppose to be slow.. when i set to rate 5, cant even understand what she is saying.
so did i miss something?and one more thing.. when my app is speaking, the GUI is hanged.. i understand as one function is running, i cant do anything else..
so is there any way to set speaker in backgrond so form can perform different functions?
Makes the following statement about the code below:
**"The computer evaluates the loop condition in the Do...Loop statment to determine whether the loop instructions should be processed. In this case, the inputsales <> String.Empty condition compares the contenst of the input sales variable to the String.Empty value. As you know the String.Empty value represents a zero length, or empty, string if the inputsales variable is empty, the loop condition evaluates to True and the computer process the loop instructions. *If on the other hand the inputsales variable is not empty, the loop condition evaluates to false and the computer skips over the loop instructions.
Based on the code I think it is the opposite: ...that while the inputsales value is not empty it should evaluate to true and process the loop and if it is empty it should evaluate to false and skip the loop?
See below.

I can't get the loop to work. The calculator is suppose to show how far someone goes for each hour increment (i.e. if they punch in 3 hours, it should show a number for 1 hour, 2 hours and 3 hours; if they punch in 10 hours it should show a number for 1 hour, 2 hours, 3 hours....etc. up to ten hours, etc.) I can't get it to show anything except for the total number of hours traveled and total distance.

View 6 RepliesI'm using a picture box to show an animated gif on my form. When i created the gif, I set it so it only loops once. The gif plays correctly in a browser, but when i set the image of the picture box to my animated gif it continuously loops.
I only want to loop once through the images embedded in my animated gif when i set the image of the picture box. What is the easiest way to do this? Does anyone have or know of any sample code to do this? I have been searching this for a while, but have not been able to find anything.
I currently have a function that loads an XML and takes all of the nodes and makes an object with them and adds them to an array.I need to be able to now see if there are more than one xml doc in a folder, and if so also add their objects to the array until all of them have been read. How would I go about doing this? I've been searching through the System.IO. to see if I could find something but I haven't been able to yet.

I was wondering how someone could stop a For loop in the middle of it, according to parameters. I have tried but cannot find a solution that works, I suppose an example of this would be if a loop were increasing a label by 1 from 0 to 100 and the user sets it to end at 57 or any number in between and when the loop reached the number to stop.

What I'm trying to do is write a program to store my sports cards collection. Basically, just a forms based program that stores various data into files. Where I am stuck at the moment is I have a piece of code that opens a form to add card brands. It has a text box, and ADD button and a CANCEL button. What I want to do is be able to type a brand into the textbox and have it store it in a array when the ADD button is clicked, then allow another entry for another brand and have it stored into the array when the ADD button is clicked and so on until the CANCEL button is clicked. Then I would like for the data in the array to be written to a file. Where I'm having the problem is I can enter a brand name into the text box but the loop keeps adding that same brand name into the array.

I'm trying to load a file where this file has, like, 10 lines. And I want to load each line (0 to 9) to each TextBox in my app (TextBox1 until TextBox10). So, there's a way to do this with a counter?
Like this mine code (that doesn't works):
If (System.IO.File.Exists("configs.ini")) Then
Dim configs As String() = System.IO.File.ReadAllText("configs.ini").Split(vbNewLine)
Const Max As Integer = 9
Dim TextBoxes(Max) As TextBox
For i = 0 To Max
TextBoxes(i + 1).Text = configs(i)
Next
End If
I'm doing an assignment for Uni and in my VB.NET form I have some checkboxes, I'm trying to loop through and clear them (I have a button which will clear the form). My problem is that there seems to be no property I can use to set the state of a checkbox when not explicitly telling VB which checkbox I want to use. for example, I can go
WineCheckBox.Checked = False
That will check the box, but I wand to DRY the code up a bit and not have to repeat this for each check box I have, this is what I was trying to do:
If TypeOf element Is CheckBox Then
element.Checked = False
End If
I've tried using element.CheckState and element.Checked and both times I get "Checked (or CheckState) is not a member of System.Windows.Forms.Control".
This is the whole block of code:
'clear the controls
For Each element As Control In Me.Controls
If TypeOf element Is TextBox Then

I�ve had success using the GET method to retrieve a series of web pages but my new challenge requires me to use a POST > GET combo. I can get it to work once just fine but no more. I get the feeling that something isn�t closing or completing properly. When I try to do the second GetRequestStream() I can see from my sniffer app that nothing is being sent so when the next command to stream the POST data to the request session it fails. I removed it all from the loop and simplified it as much as possible. Can someone tell me why it fails?
Also as a general question is my tack or reusing WebRequests viable? Or is there a �best practice� for looping a POST > GET combo? I�ve been assuming that since nothing in the WebRequest changes besides the post data I�m sending, even its length remains the same, that I should be able to re-use it.

How do i turn that into a capture group so it only gets the text that is bold and removes the rest?Also how do i loop through all the result from that captured group text?
Basically what I have are two loops, one inside the other, that will run until the given condition is met. Exactly what I want. My problem is that I want to be able to use the controls, like buttons, while a loop is going on.
I originally did not think of this until I had built this part of my program, what I want to know is if there is a way to use controls while a loop is going on or if their is an alternative.
1)I know timers can be used to meet these goals, but they did not work out as I had hoped and using two timers (1 to represent each loop) I do not believe is efficient.
2)I have considered using recursion, but have found this may not be very efficient either and am not quite sure if this will do what I want.
These loops run as long as the number the user inputted. So it could theoretically run for 100,000+ times. I am not looking for speed, but it would be good if there were a faster method that allowed me to use controls while it loops.
I am calling a sub from a form load event. The procedure that is being called adds columns to a listview and then loops through an array to populate the listview. I have another procedure called after the loop that does not execute when the loop completes. Please advise as to what I am doing wrong for the code not to execute after the loop in the if/then/else statement or why it is not executing if I remove the if/then/else statement and just placed the called sub after the loop or why the code does not go back to the form load event and then call the next called sub.[code]

View 18 RepliesOk I got a variable named Accounts and stores the user accounts. They are seperated like this
Account|Pass|Admin&Account|Pass|Admin
As you can see after admin there is a symbol (the &) meaning that before the & its an account and after it its another. In other words its like this
Account|Pass|Admin
Account|Pass|Admin
so how can I make a loop to count how many & there is in the Variable named Accounts?
