Induce A Variable Amount Of Lag
Sep 2, 2010
I need to induce a variable amount of lag in vb.net. System should be noticeably slower. I can raise the CPU usage of the program with infinite loops and some variable creation/assignments, but how can I actually cause lag? I'd like to have an "InvokeLag" sub which will perform an action to slow down the computer, the faster the function is called the faster it lags. The function should be as mundane as possible, not modifying anything or doing anything to cause damage other than simple lag.

How can you trace the amount of memory used by each variable, process in a program? I tried CLR 2.0 but am not sure how to read the results. Are there any really good articles on CLR 2.0 that describes what I am looking for?

Suppose I have 3 vars:
dim a as integer = 5
dim b as integer = 1
dim c as integer = 10
What is the most efficient method of determining which variable has the largest value while using the least amount of code? I know this can be done with if statements, but there must be a more elegant way to do it.

I'm trying to work out a program where you can set up a variable amount of timers (like egg timers). Each timer works independently of the other (you can stop a timer, reset another, and so on, and the rest are not effected).I thought of using a single timer and then creating a custom egg timer class to handle the countdown, store the current time, etc, and use a collection of these classes inside a timer event (at the tick, do a for each to reduce the countdown on the classes by some milliseconds).Then I got to thinking: all of these egg timer classes in the collection with the for each loop may cause some accuracy loss (say, I add 50 egg timers).
Does anyone think the accuracy loss for updating all of the egg timers would be too adverse? Should I try running them on separate threads (have not thought about how yet), or will that make much difference?

OK, after trying to get this working for a couple of days now I decided that I would turn to the experts here. I am trying to create a nested loop with a variable amount of nests. Let me elaborate. I have a program that first asks for the minimum and maximum amount of loops, I currently have a SELECT CASE statement that addresses each level of nesting individually.
Dim cMin As Integer = InputBox("Min")
Dim cMax As Integer = InputBox("Max")
Dim c1, c2, c3 As Integer

I have a mesurement that could be any random value, just for fun well make that 2440mm i need to divde that by the industry standard of 610mm which comes out at 2440 / 610 = 4
Programicaly written NEWVAL = YVAL / STDVAL
NEWVAL (4) gives me refrence to how many instances I want to append a new line in a txt file I know that I want the first line to say 0,0,0 and the second line to say 0,610,0 the third 0,1220,0 the fourth 0,1830,0 and the last 0,2440,0, though this is easily achived with addition how can I automate vb.net to produce a new write line for each each instace of 610 if the YVAL is user defind.Put in simple terms half would be missing if the YVAL variable is double in length at 4880mm?

im trying to make a fast food program on which the user will input the amount that he has, then he will check on what he wants, by using check boxes. There are 7 different check boxes with 7 different amounts of money. I have the program somewhat finished (thanks for the people that helped me before) but theres still a couple of things that I still need to get finished but I dont know how to.I need to be able to get how much money the user has (this will be entered threw a text box, I think I accidentally messed this part up, because I cant get it to work right, (theres alreasy a permit amount of money in there and it needs to be what the user enters instead of the permit, 5.59, one) and this will be the maximum amount he can spend, then the user will check on the food he wants (and the program will add the sales tax also) then it will produce an answer saying if you have enough money or if you dont. But what im confused on is how do I get the users amount of money and make it the maximum mount he can spend and make sure it doesnt go over the amount that he has checked.[code]

I am looking to create a function in which I can pass in an integer (count) and create an amount of picturebox's based on the count.For example if I pass in an integer count, it should do this, only I don't know the correct syntax for it.[code]I am making a huge list of pictureboxes that will scroll on a form, 5 showing at a time.Also, if there are a huge amount of pictureboxes, will I be better off keeping like 7 pictureboxes on the form and keep rotating images throughout? Images are coming from a folderlist in a listbox (so I can easily pull the path of the image from an index).

Does anyone know of a way to script falsifying the amount of RAM installed on a PC for an install. I have a program that needs to be installed on many systems that all have little RAM. The program requires during the setup that at least 384 MB of RAM be installed. Some of these systems only have 256 so the install fails. I know the easy answer is install more RAM. Ain't going to happen. Company has no budget. The install should be fine I think, but would like to test more. in order to do the testing to see if this would even work though I need to figure out how to have the OS tell the app it has more RAM than it does. I don't know this app but my first guess is the app queries WMI for amount of RAM?? If that's the case is there a way to set that WMI entry to something different until after the app is done? Or if someone knows another way that would be good too?

i need to reduce an amount of time by x% this is what i have so far [code] as u can see ive taken the hours minutes seconds from the time and stored each in a seperate variable so from 02:30:00 i then divided the hours by 60 and then 60 again to give me the total seconds in the hours and then divided the minutes by 60. i then added all 3 to give the total amount of seconds so now the buildtimetotal variable now holds the total in seconds i now need to reducce this by x% all vars are dimentioned as integers except for buildtimehoursback which is a double the problem seems to be when i try to convert the total seconds back to hours minutes seconds.

I'm working on a project for my VB class at school. I am creating a form with several inputs and it calculates the total amount owed for a car sale. I have a text box for input of the TRADE IN VALUE of a car. the program is looking for a numeric input. If there is no trade in, how can i get this box to default to 0.00 so it doesnt error the program?
