Working With Lots Of Text

Mar 14, 2009

I am going to work with 300 000+ words... what is the best thing nowadays to put so much text so it can be searched fast (runtime)? I would use a jagged array but maybe there is something new since I read my last book with tips&tricks.

How To Show Lots Of Text

Jul 24, 2011

I want to show lots of text in my form but i'm not sure how to do this efficiently.

The text is just instructions to the games Pong and Match so it isn't very long, but long enough to not be practical to type into a textbox's text control. The instructions will have paragraphs, but no other formatting.

lblTotal.Text = Val(Form2.lblPizzaTotal.Text) + Val(Form3.lblDrinksTotal.Text)

The code above is what I am using to add the Value of Label 1 (Pizza Total) and Label 2 (Drinks Total), however it seems that in the final total it doesn't appear to add the value of Label 2.

Adding Lots Of Buttons?

Jun 8, 2012

I have a re sizable panel which i am adding over 100 buttons to. to do it i have a timer which detects any change in the height or width. then clears the panel and re draws all 100 buttons on. however i am encountering issues with flashing (where the buttons are gone for a split second before being repainted) and also speed issues. it seems to be slowing down the users ability to re size the window.

i was thinking by adding the buttons through its own thread it might combat the main (speed) issue.

Datagridview With Lots Of Rows?

Oct 31, 2010

The data is loaded from a xml file (which the code parse the xml, and create datagridview cell dynamically). and the user is allowed to change the data, when the program exists, it will write back to the xml file to save the change.It works fine when there are not many rows. when it has too many rows, say, 10K rows, the program loads slowly. I searched, found some suggestions, but it seems they do not work very well.1) when load the data, not create the rows directly. instead, create a datatable, then add the table to the datagridview's data source. it still takes time for the dgv to show the data.

2) then, I guess maybe I should paging the dgv. then it comes 2 questions:2.a) I only have a manually created table, how can I get a dataadapter/dataset from it? do I have to put data in a database table first (i.e. sql express), then load it to data adapter? is it possible to manually create a data adapter/dataset?2.b) if I paging the dgv, does it mean I still need manually update the dataset/datatable to keep the possible change when the user navigate through the dgv? or, I can simply use an update method?

Resetting Lots Of Labels?

Dec 12, 2009

I have a form with lots of labels on it, and a reset button to reset them to a default text. This reset sub has lots of lines of code to get this done, but I think it cen be done in just a few. I thought of something like:

For Each Label In Me.Controls
Text = "0"
Next

but this doesn't work, or anything else that I've tried. how to do get this done? And what if I want half of the labels set to 0 and the other half to 1? Would that be possible without setting them all seperately?

SQL Database Containing LOTS Of Columns?

May 24, 2012

I'm creating a program which navigates through a tree-like structure. There are lots of items with a single 'parent' and many 'children'.

Using a SQL database, I've got all of the items information stored, but I'm struggling with how to hold the IDs for each Items children.

For example:

A: no parents, Children: B, C, D
B: Parent: A, Children E, F, G, H
F: Parent: B, Children: J, K, L, M

Where each item will have hundreds of children, for which I don't really want a column for each child...

Is there a simple (or more complicated) way to hold and retrieve a large number of integers within one column... i.e. as some kind of sub-database, or an array with the column??

VS 2010 LOTS Of Timers?

Jul 12, 2010

I'm considering making an application that will perform various tests against servers on a local network - for example pinging them, checking hard drive space, checking the state of services, whether or not databases are available, etc etc. Very similar to Hostmonitor if anyone has ever used that - but my app will be free

These tests would have to be performed at specified intervals, but the problem is that there could be literally hundreds of tests and I'm not sure how well my app would cope with hundreds of timers running... especially if they are all configured to run every minute or two (they all need to run independently of each other).

Really I'm just wondering how you guys would design such a system.The best way I can think of is to have a separate timer associated with every test and then when a test's timer has elapsed use the ThreadPool to do the work that the test will perform. That way if loads of them happen to run at the same time then the ThreadPool will queue them rather than trying to run say 200 at once. I also think I would need to have some kind of staging for when the app first starts, so that every single test is not going to have the exact same time to run (well, every test that has the same interval configured), but that shouldn't be too much of an issue.I guess it would be a good idea to try and use some sort of grouping so that more than one test can use the same timer - like if 20 tests were set to run with a 5 minute interval then I could use one timer and run all of the tests when that one timer fires.

.net Lots Of Undisposed Cursor Objects?

Feb 15, 2008

I am in the process of writing a program that converts large number of records from one format to another. When doing some testing on it, to make sure I don't have any memory leaks, I am noticing a large number of undiposed cursor objects. I am not sure what to do with these. My program seems to run fine, however on some computers I am getting issues when the process is complete.

What happens is this. The program starts up, the user sets up the configuration options, it does it's processing, it creates a HTML report and launches IE (or whatever their default browser is) to display it. Then the program goes back to its Config display.

C# - DataGridViewComboBoxColumn Very Slow With Lots Of Items?

Sep 28, 2011

I have a DataGrid, with several columns. One of them is DataGridViewComboBoxColumn. I have a lot of items in this column - more than 1000 - and I need all of them. So grouping is not an option - all items must be there, users must be able to select from all.The problem is, DataGridViewComboBoxColumn becomes painfully slow, when number of items is about 1000, and above. This issues is well known to Microsoft, it dates back to Visual Studio 2005: [URL]...The problem is still present in Visual Studio 2010. Any ideas how to solve this?

Is it possible to fill DataGridViewComboBoxColumn with data partially? I mean (that was functionality fully working in Access), when you click DataGridViewComboBoxColumn, some items are displayed (lets say, 100 items). When you scroll down to the latest item, others are loaded (another 100) and so on. I don't see any other option to make DataGridViewComboBoxColumn working faster? Problem is, how to implement this? Has anyone meet that problem before?

Anything Wrong With Using Lots Of Shared Methods And Objects

Jul 9, 2009

I seem to find more and more that I declare a lot of objects or methods as Shared now but it feels like I am not doing things properly.I try to avoid doing this but then I just end up with situations where I have to create an instance of a class just to call one method that would act no differently if it was just a shared method.Basically I'm just wanting to know if there is any good reason to avoid using Shared objects/methods. Obviously I dont declare EVERYTHING as shared, but it just seems to make things a lot simpler most of the time.For example in my current project (a chat application using WCF) I have a class just called Core which houses a lot of the main functions of the client program, so it has methods such as: SignUserIn, SignUserOut, SendMessage, MessageReceived etc and it also holds properties such as a list that contains all of the currently online users. These things are all declared Shared in my program because as far as I can see there is no reason for having to do this:[code]

Deleting Lots Of Dynamically Created Buttons?

Jun 2, 2012

I'm a new programmer to vb.net, so apologise for what is likely to be ignorance.
I'm building a simple gui for a database interface, with many parent and child items within it. Upon a form I create buttons depending on how many items (parents/children). I've got the creation of the buttons thus:

For RowNumber As Integer = 0 To NoOfRows
Dim Buttoni As New Button
Buttoni.Location = New Point(LocationX, LocationY)

[Code]....

But I'm struggling with a way to delete the buttons to make way for a new set to replace them... I can delete a single one upon its click, but I'd like to delete all of the buttons that have been created in this way before re-creating them.

Interface And Graphics :: Lots Of Data To Handle - Locate A Tile In The Map When It Is Clicked?

Jan 31, 2011

My tile-based map editor project. So far, it works really awesome. Here, look at a picture: [URL] And the screenshot is outdated: Now I got the Pencil, Rectangle and FloodFill tools too!, the tilesets are from that popular (well, not so popular) game engine called RPGMaker.

Currently, this is how the map is structured:
One ArrayList represents the X coordinates.
One ArrayList in each X represents the Y coordinates.
One ArrayList in each X,Y represents the tile.
The tile is an ArrayList containing three elements:
The Image name (Tileset01 in the screenshot), the X coordinate in the image, and the Y coordinate in the image. Those coordinates are from the TILESET01 image, not map.

Getting the idea?
How do you locate a tile in the map when it is clicked?
First I get the cursor's position on the map picturebox, then convert it to a multiple of 32 (the tiles are 32x32, yes), divide the position X and Y by 32. The results are the indexes I need to get to the tile I clicked.

That method works just fine for me.

When the map picturebox invalidates and needs painting... When that happens, I iterate through each X and Y arrayList. When I get the arrayList that represents the tile, I use it to draw on the map.

For example:
Iterating X arrayList.... step 8......
Iterating Y arrayList..... step 3.......
Found arrayList with three elemetns: ("Tileset01",32,96)
Draw image on the map picturebox, source is "Tileset01" on rectangle (32,96,32,32)... draw it on map picturebox's point (8 * 32) and (3 * 32)

And so on.

Now you understand how I am working with my map editor, how I am locating clicked tiles, and how I am drawing it. Everything goes fine, except for one problem: At some point, the user might want to make a 500x500 map.

That means, an arrayList with 500 elements representing the X tiles. Then an arrayList with 500 elements for each X tile, representing the Y tiles. Then an arrayList in each X,Y pair.

Then multiply that result by 5, because there will be 5 drawing layers. How am I supposed to handle such huge maps?! My app explodes when I set the map dimensions to 500x500! 500x500 is the max setting allowed in my app. I also know that 500x500 map editors are possible, because I have seen others before. With great performance.

Silverlight Project With Tabcontrol Hosting Canvas Objects : Can't Get Vertical Bar To Hide Even When Lots Of Room

Aug 11, 2011

Silverlight project with tabcontrol hosting canvas objects. I want to wrap my entire tabcontrol with a scrollviewer so that on a short display you can scroll vertically to see the whole area on my canvas.When I run my project my scrollviewer vertical bar is always showing even when there's more room vertically than needed for a scrollbar.

All I am trying to accomplish here is a min resolution of 1280x768 to be scrollable and anything bigger than that have the scrollbars hide. My laptop is only 768 tall, but my canvases were developed with 1280x1024 in mind. So I would like a way to set this up so that everyone can scroll or just see the canvas all at once depending on their resolution.

Anyone have any ideas why it is always visible? I've tried setting canvas width and height. I tried setting stretch on alignments on the outer grid. Saw both those tips while searching other issues similar to mine.

Some code:

<Grid x:Name="LayoutRoot" MinHeight="768" MaxHeight="1024" MinWidth="1024" MaxWidth="1280" Background="#FF6A6868" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" VerticalAlignment="Stretch">
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="0.775*"/>

[code]....

....lots of child canvas items in my "Main Floor" canvas. Child canvas objects contain lots of path objects. None which are taller or wider than the main floor canvas width/height.

<sdk:TabItem Margin="0" Header="Mezzanine">
<Canvas x:Name="Upstairs" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Height="1000" UseLayoutRounding="False" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="1280">

..another tab. Same deal with child canvas objects.
