if there is no need for my variable to store negative values, is it more efficient to use UInteger instead of Integer? both are 4bytes and i've got a feeling unsigned works faster though i'm nt sure about it. note that the range of my variable is 0 to 2147483647, hence i could use a UInt32 or Int32 and both would give me the same result so i'm wondering about optimum performance.
View 7 RepliesWhy is it that in parts of the .Net architecture that ARGB colours are expected be as type Integer when ARGB is outside the range of Integer? (ARGB requires 32 bits of precission, but Int has 31 bits of precission).Now of course I could just do a conversion, but what freaking conversion to use??? (I'm not affluent with all the VB global methods and the sort)
I've tried things like:
Code:
Dim value As Integer = &H80000014
Dim uvalue As UInteger = CType(value, value)
''overflow others include Convert.ToUInt32 -> value was either to large or to small and a few others all offering up nonsense about overflows, when all I freakin' want is a colour that Microsoft's own engineers have done stupid things like expect Integer values in places where UInteger should be, or vice versa. How about some consistency...
Code:
Dim value As UInteger = &H80000014 ''<- not represntable as a Uinteger???
Dim uvalue As UInteger = 2147483668 ''<- same value in decimal, same exact value! and it works this says it's not representable as a UInteger?

If I try this code in VB.NET I get a compiler error:

Why I can't set 0xFFFFFFFF (4,294,967,295) to a UInteger if this type can hold this value?

I am working on an application that will need to read tons of records (close to 500,000) from one table and insert them into another set of tables in the same database. I though about using SSIS package for this but our DBAs don't want to use that. Now, I am thinking of a multi-threaded approach. I am thinking that I can have a few thread started that will read say (500) records at a time and insert them, then come back and read more.
Now, say I spawn off 3 threads of this application. The first thread reads 500 rows and starts processing them. Can I lock these rows that were already read so that the next thread does not pick them up? I am trying to find some articles regarding this on the internet, but perhaps I am not searching for the correct terms in Google.

View 2 RepliesI have a program that must initialize a table that is usually about 10-15 thousand records. I have attempted several means to empty the records from it, but it always takes several minutes to accomplish the task or in some cases like a 'bindingsource.clear' command, doesn't work at all. I currently have it working using a simple loop to go through each record at a time and 'removecurrent'. but this seems extremely inefficient and it is quite slow.The real time consumer seems to come in with the tableadapter.update and tableadapter.fill that happens after the loop.[code]

I have a Page class and a PageCollection class in a 3d party ORM framework. I can fill the PageCollection based on parameters (pageid, parentid, url etc..) (SQL query). But I need the data multiple times around the ASP.NET MVC website (Sitemap, Authentication), so I chose to load all pages 1 time and reference that (global) collection.
GlobalClass.Pages //is PageCollection containing all pages
I have now created functions which return a temporary subcollection or single entity based on the parameters mentioned before (pageid, parentid, url etc..).
GlobalClass.Pages.GetByPageId(id) //returns single page entity
GlobalClass.Pages.GetByParentId(parentid) //returns subcollection
The site however got very slow.
cache the subcollections (GetByParent())? create internal hash-lookup tables for the collection? Something else...?

Public Class PageCollection

We have some information that we need to write (about 18KB) to a .txt file stored in one of our network drives. The file is re-written about once every 15 minutes but is read practically at least every second. We are currently using StreamWriter to write file.The file server is in remote location and the round trip ping varies from <1ms to 15ms.
The problem is, sometimes it takes as long as 6 seconds to write the contents to the file, which is definitely way too long even after we take consideration of the network speed. therefore, I am just wondering if there is any efficient way to write the file using VB.Net to improve the performance? Java has a very good tool named BufferedOutputStream, which unfortunately is not available in VB.Net (or I just have not found it).

I have a thread that is hitting the Database (where these records are stored) every 5 seconds to see if the list is smaller,bigger or changed.If so, I was just recalling the load_form sub but this was taking too long as the lists could potentially be very large. Also, there is a lot of logic that comes into play depending on what user is displaying the records in the treeview.I was wanting to know what would be the fastest way to compare the datatable that was previously used to initially create the nodes in the treeview to a tempdatatable that has the currently updated/added/removed rows and update the treeview accordingly?The only thing I could come up with was basically looping through the tempdatatable and comparing each row to the rows in the original datatable and plucking out the ones that had no match.Then recursively looping through the nodes in the treeview to find the spot that the new node should be added (based on that datarow's values).Or is there a better way to do this and I should scrap this?
