my system is fully designed but everytime I click a button that will to another form (which is also fully designed) the response of my system is to slow. Can you suggest anything to make it faster? I'm afraid that it will catch the attention of the panelist (I have a defense, 2 weeks from now).Here's the image which I've screen shot. Everytime I click a button it will take up to 3 seconds. Thats the sequence.

I use GDI+ graphics in vb.net (express 2008). A simple ball animation was fast using an old computer and video card, but very slow after upgrading to a new computer with a hi-end GeFoce GFX 260 video card.Windows 7, 64 bit.I have tried adjusting all the video card settings I can find, but still slow.
View 3 RepliesI am having and issue with a VB.NET App that displays data derived from a database in a DataGridView Control. I am retrieving the data into a dataview and then setting the Grid.Datasource = oDView. On most machines it refreshes the data cleanly and quickly as you would expect.

I'm trying to improve the speed of my call to:Graphics.DrawImage (Image, Rectangle, Int32, Int32, Int32, Int32, GraphicsUnit, ImageAttributes)I want to display two images, where the old one fades smoothly into the new one, driven by a Timer tick of 10 or 20 ticks a second. The following code runs fine on JPEG files of around half a megabyte or less, but takes much too long (up to half a second) fora 2MB JPEG. Using the Stopwatch control, I isolated the problem to the two .DrawImage calls. Do I need to do this in DirectX or is there a way to improve the efficiency of the routine? I thought of trying to resize the two images beforehand to fit the rectangle, but that's not a simple call (I don't think), and it might just mean moving the delay elsewhere.

I've been searching for days. I can't find anything that I think is going to work. I've probably read the answer and skipped it because I don't get it. I'm new. I've researched multithreading, sub routines and webbrowser. The webbrowser thing doesn't seem professional to me.
All I want is the animation to be smooth when it's displayed and to have it integrated into the app so it's not called from the local drive.The animated gif is in PictureBox3. Please point me in the right direction. I really don't want to use a static image.

I have a timed event that displays a balloon in the system tray. I would like this icon to remain active for 2 minutes or when the user closes it. When this time expires, the balloon should close and begin a function. I am having 2 problems with this:
1) The baloon icon is limited to between 10 and 30 seconds, when the user is active, so it closes to soon.
2) when the user is not active, the inactive time does not count agenst the timer.

I already know how to make a login system, but can't figure this out.

iam currently working on my uni project and i have encountered a problem with valadation section.My system displays a message telling the user to input any fields that they have missed out on, listing the name of the field. However as these IF functions are in order the user must input the data in the order of how it is in the code. for example if the "consweight" is inputed and the calculate button is pressed, it thinks that all valadation above it has occured, when those fields are still empty.

I am researching ways to use vbTab and Tab stops to create a report in VB 10. I found some code that demostates the tab methods. When I plug the code into Visual Studio 10, I get 'graphics' not part of System.eventsargs, referring to the g.graphics.drawstring command. I have tried several different imports statements with no success.

View 16 RepliesI need to make a basic drawing program in VB that can do three things:
"Draw" with a brush of some sort
Clear the screen
Perform a flood-fill (paintbucket action)
I decided to do the first two tasks first, and got them to work, but the third task completely eludes me. Every way I try seems to pile on exceptions, and every flood-fill algorithm I find seems to require a bitmap, rather than a Graphics() object. Is there any way to accomplish a flood-fill using a Graphics object, or must I restart the project using a bitmap?

We are in the final stages of releasing a new in-house written system within our company. We have opted to create a single system/project containing multiple programs (like a mini ERP system).We are stuck on the navigation mechanism which will allow the user to load the appropriate forms. I am personally not a fan of the Tree View control because I think it is unfriendly to users. I have been looking on the web for some inspiration and I am interested in the design of the OPEN BRAVO ERP system. Before we dive in though, I wanted to get other programmers opinions. What do you find works best in VB 2008?

Is there an easy way to display the rgb code of system colors in VB2008?
That is, I am looking for some code that will retrieve the names of the colors that are used in the system colors and display their rgb codes (and maybe show a sample), so I could display, for example, what the rgb code for "control" is.
I'm making a custom class that mocks the System.Drawing.Rectangle class because the Rectangle class doesn't have a name property. I need a name property because I am adding all of my rectangles to a collection and I need a little more info stored than just their locale and size. So I changed the _onPaint event but nothing is working out when I run the program?

We have a GIS application that has some performance issues. It creates and sends an image to a web browser. We start with a Bing Maps imager, add complex polygons (complete with transparent fill), save the finished image as a PNG, and send it to the browser.
The idea has come up that we could possibly install a graphics card and use DirectX or OpenGL to improve performance. I believe this would be the case even though we ultimately generate an image instead of sending the data the the screen. I believe our processes could still make use of the API and the hardware acceleration it provides. Our process is not unlike what CGI film makers do to render individuals frames of a film, though we simply render a single image and send it, as opposed to the hundreds of thousands of images needed for a single CGI film.
So my question is: would a powerful graphics card and use of DirectDraw or OpenGL provide us a worthwhile performance boost? It can take us 20-30 seconds to render a more complex map. Which is a long time to wait on a web page...
