I have a function which is executed a lot of time during a flat file (txt) import. (50 000+)using a profiling tool the attached function where identified as 40% of the runtime..The code works as is.. But should be a lot quicker..
The code converts the following format 5710.436' N to the double representation.

I'm building a GUI that displays a lot of thumbnails. I'm currently using PictureBoxes that I dynamically allocate to do this. In the worst case I may need to display as much as 1000 of these thumbnails at once. I need the thumbnails to move around and animate fluidly. PictureBoxes hog a lot of memory.

I've inherited a Visual Studio/VB.Net numerical simulation project that has a likely inefficient calculation. Profiling indicates that the function is called a lot (1 million times plus) and spends about 50% of the overall calculation within this function. Here is the problematic portion
Result = (A * (E ^ C)) / (D ^ C * B) (where A-C are local double variables and D & E global double variables)
Result is then compared to a threshold which might have additional improvements as well, but I'll leave them another day
I have a lengthy query..always it shows timeout..I am filling it in a dataset, not using command execute.Is there anyway to solve this rather than optimizing the code? any way to solve the timeout..
View 3 RepliesI'm having a speed issue with some drawing in a program I am working on. I have narrowed down the speed issues to a single function. The cost of this function is such that I really need to find a way to make it faster, and that should be possible.
The function is this:
Public Shared Sub SuperImposeFishAni(ByVal bckGrnd As Drawing.Bitmap, ByVal dtop As Integer, ByVal dleft As Integer, ByVal dwidth As Integer, ByVal dheight As Integer, ByVal ImageInQuestion As FishImages)
Dim tp As Integer = 0
[code]....
This is actually a holdover from an earlier design that included animation, but that's probably irrelevant. What is happening here is that a bitmap (bckGrnd) is passed to the method along with the left, top, width, and height that are to be drawn, and a single variable to select which image to draw.The image to draw is chosen in the select statement, which makes up the bulk of the method. The guts of the issue are the last few lines.
Through profiling, I was able to determine that if this method is called, the drawing takes over .25 seconds, whereas if this method is not called the same exact drawing takes less than .07 seconds. Therefore, I am getting a significant slowdown from this one method, which surprises me, as it is pretty straightforward. It pretty much has to be this method, too, because I can perform the same actions with or without this method being called. It is called if a Boolean is True, which is about as fast a test as can be performed. If the Boolean is False, this method is not called. The >3x difference in timing is with or without this method.
The point behind the method is that the image from the select statement has to be superimposed onto the background image, and the size of the area, as well as the location, that it gets superimposed onto is almost totally arbitrary, which is why the size and location has to passed to the method.Technically, choosing the bitmap to merge in (the select statement), could be avoided, but I doubt that is the issue.
I have this code that works. it goes down a range and deletes the empty rows, seperates the first character into a different column if its not a number or negative sign.This code WORKS. but it is too SLOW for the amount of data i need it to deal with.

View 1 RepliesAs I was starting on my lil project i realized that I would have a tonne of repetitive code. But wasn't sure how best to go around to just only have it in there once and just call on it. Not entirely sure how to do this as I havnt done it before, I was trying to mess around with it in a Function type thing but I had declaration issues which put me off course. Basically they'll be a few labels lbl8Beats(on click it loads the table in the datagrid (dgvCompositions)) is the first, and all the code from Dim conn As MySqlConnection to data = New DataTable, will be repeated.When i was messing around and thought I'd open the connection on form load, and I just had a bunch of declaration issues, and was unsure how best to go about this. Also since the Adapter = "would be changing on each label it just made me more confused.[code]
View 1 Repliesbelow is a byte array to string encoder. It uses the yEnc algorithm that is used for Usenet binaries (Usenet only supports text).
Doing a performance analysis in VS2010 shows that this is the most CPU intensive part of the application.
The encoder function is used thousands of times, so I'd like to optimize it as much as possible.
I'm using 'ReDim Preserve' instead of 'Take()ToArray', because I'm targeting .NET Framework 2.0. Is there a more efficient way of getting only a part of a byte array?

View 3 Repliesthis code was not done by me originally and there are some thigns here i dont quite understand i have altered it a bit from my coworkers code to suit my data and it works. but too slow. and when i have 4000+kb excel files it might freeze altogether. ( I have checked tho that when and after this transposer runs it will still be within the excel row limit, i had done calculations before and made a macro to automatically split excel files based on number of columns and rows to make sure this is so ). This code seems to start out fast then goes slower the longer it runs. at least this is what it seems liek to me.

I want to make an numerical integration method with takes in an analytic function and integrate it over a specific interval. For the numerical integration procedure I want to use some procedures in nr.com. The problem is that these are programmed in C++ and they uses functors to pass a function to the integration method. How can I do this in VB 2010?
I want to initialize the function (i.e. set a=1,b=0 for function y(x)=a*x+b) and then pass the function to the integration method. Then when the integration method call the function it only calls the function with one parameter (i.e. x since a,b is already set)
What is the best way to do this in VB2010?I want to make a general integration method where I can pass any single valued function and integration limits.
I have just started using VB, and from what I have found so far it seems like the tools you have is
- to us a delegate for the function
- to use a lambda expression for the function
- send a pointer/adressOf
- to create a function class/structure and submit this to the function
As for now I am most inclined to create a function-class. But I am not really sure how.F.ex. I make different classes for each "uniqe function" I want to integrate, but how can I pass them to the integration function when I need to specify the argument type in the integration-function-call?This seems like a basic problem which applies to many Math operations, so I think it would be very useful to clarify this.
I'm trying to undersatnd the syntax of calling a funciton and it seem confusing when I'm using a web service in ASP.net. Maybe this question should be in an ASP forum, but it is a VB question. This simple web service allows you to type in your name and it response with an alert box with you name.
My question is, How can you call a function with 2 arguments when the function is only defined for one. I understand that the second argument is actually a method that handling the respons, but how can you interchange function arguments for methods and how do you know that there are methods for

i wanted to ask how to make picturebox1 ,to which functions are already assigned, perform the same function as picturebox2 ,to which no functions are assigned.For example:I have already made picturebox1 and have assigned it alot of function like when play button is pressed then picturebox1.visible = true and when we press pause button picturebox1.visible = false. So now i decided to make a theme and have to remove the picturebox1 and want to allow the picturebox2 to havefunction of picturebox1.But when i disable the theme the function of picturebox1 should go back to picturebox1.

View 1 RepliesI'm currently working with a client's VB.Net code, which was developed for them by a small development shop a few years ago and which they purchased and have been maintaining and uprgrading since. This client's primary developer is out on indefinite (likely permanent) medical leave and I'm now filling in until they bring in a full timer (as I'm a contractor here). My current task is to add some functionality to a the VB.Net code they purchased. I'm finding practices and techniques in the code that absolutely baffle me and can't make the code do what I want. I'm starting to wonder if it's me and was hoping to get some thoughts on the code I've encountered.
For example: Setting a variable to accept the result of a function by calling the function with many parameters, clearing the parameters in the function, setting them to some value, calling another function with those new values, then never using the values returned by the functions. I'll add a code snippet in the first comment since this is already getting long.

I keep getting it when i call a particular method of a dll that comes with windows xp and beyond (in system32 called upnp.dll)
How can I call a function from inside another function and suspend the calling function until the called function is finished? I hope I can get some replies because I don't know how to ask the question and make sense:).
Anyway what I am trying to do in steps:
1. The user clicks button1 which triggers the click event.
2. From the click event I call a function
3. I then pop-up a form, that has instructions for the user to read.
4. After the user has read the form he will click the "Done" button and return to the calling function.
The problem is the the calling function continues to execute. I want to stop execution of the calling function until the users clicks the "Done" button on the instruction pop=up. I know I can use a msgbox but the instructions can be lengthly and does not look good in a msgbox.
I have tried the Call method with return in the "Done" button click but I can make that work. I also tried a goto statement but I can get that to work either. In the call statement I said call frmInstruction.show() and it got there but as I said the calling function continued to execute.
ive two custom controls, which are used to draw and edit etc...(like paint but customized....) i want to save their images with a single click....So im using the Getimageofcontrol function to do it....its code is below:::

Dim rc As New Rectangle(c.PointToScreen(c.Location), c.Size)
Dim i As Image = New Bitmap(rc.Width, rc.Height)[code].....
and the code to call this function for saving the images is simply.. ...
GetImageOfControl(pboxd).Save("c:78.jpg")
GetImageOfControl2(pboxf).Save("c:lp.jpg")
but the problem is that both the images have the same content....
I have a function where I am performing a lot number of database operations inside a Sub. The operation when called directly like:ExecProcess()
takes about 11 seconds to run.However, if I create a Delegate, and call the sub using BeginInvoke(), the very same process takes over 40 seconds to execute.Here's the threaded code:
Protected del As ProcessDelegate
Protected Delegate Sub ProcessDelegate()
del = New ProcessDelegate(AddressOf SELocal.ExecJob)
Dim cb As New AsyncCallback(AddressOf Me.ExecJobComplete)
del.BeginInvoke(cb, del)
Anyone know what may cause a function to take longer inside a new thread, rather than calling directly?

To have a function that takes the average (which is calculated by a different function) say for example the average is 6, now the function is to take the number 6 and get the variance from six to another number lets say its 12 so this will return a calculation of 50% variance. now here comes the issue, i have it calculating the variance how ever lets say that there is a score that is 0, how can i make it calculate the variance without taking count for that 0? i guess you can say i need it to "skip" if its a 0.
