conversion of proj from Vb to .NET

[Amka]

Hi

I have a project which I converted from Vb to Vb.NEt

But the system is running extremely slow. I have Intel PIII Processor , 256
MB RAM. Plz let me know if tehre is anything I can do to enhance the
performance of my system.

I know from MSDN that vs.net can run on p-II even, then why is the system so
slow?

Regards.

Please provide some details, Amka.
What, exactly, is running slowly? The Visual Studio .NET IDE, your solution
in the IDE, or your solution as deployed? What does your solution do? Is
database access involved, etc? Also, what speed CPU and what other hardware
is involved?
Without detailed information it's difficult to provide constructive
suggestions, except to say that if your concerns are about Visual Studio
..NET itself, an additional 256 Meg of memory will produce a noticeable
improvement, IME.

Amka,
In addition to Armin's comments.

Remember there are things that you would do in VB6 to improve performance
that may actually hurt performance in VB.NET.

The following articles provide information on writing .NET code that
performs well.

Hi Amka,

Herfried K. Wagner says often he uses a PII 350 (I do not know if that is
changed)

So tell us something more what is the slow part?
Maybe we can help you then.

Thanks Peter. I have even tried with extra RAM, it did not help. I have
given the details here. Plz see the reply to Cor.

In addition to Armin's comments
I did not find any response by Armin. Appreciate if you look into the
details of my issue,as given to Cor.

 

[Amka]

Sure Cor. Actually I converted this project from VB to VB.NET
Now as I open this project by clicking to any form in the solution's
explorer, it takes considerable amount of time to open the form. After the
form is opened, the pointer is still as the hourglass for a long time.So the
issues are showing up in the design time itself. Do we have some settings
here that could be changed accordingly to enhance the system's performance,
like the InterOp, or debugger, or any background process that might be
having a direct link with the performance? Please help. Also, I must mention
that the application is pretty huge with around 120 forms and class modules
put together.
Regards.


What we would ideally like is to know if there are any settings in .NET IDE

which would result in a performance hit. Would there be any settings ( like

referrring to InterOp DLLs) which could be turned off or for that matter

turned on which would help us.

Also would there be any background process running ( like a debugger or so)

which may reduce the speed. We have noticed that even after a file is

opened in design/code view, the mouse pointer is still in the hourglass

mode which typically indicates that there are some background processes

running.

Heeellooo, I am over here in the vb.net group ;-) .... hmm, he/she can't
hear me..

Hi Amka,

Are you using 2002 or 2003 because 2002 I remember me now is starting much
slower than 2003.

Hi Armin,

I am angry about something, I think you hear it probably this week.

This is the message to me,
My answer is about 2002 and 2003

Opening the Form designer is really sssslllooowww. "Even" on my
XP1600+/512MB. I set the default editor for Forms to the code editor because
I modify the code much more frequently than the layout. If you also want
this, and if you don't want to "jump" to the "view code" icon: right-click
on the form in the solution explorer, "open with...", select "Microsoft
Visual Basic-Editor", click "Standard".

??

This is the message to me,

Thanks, but I received it meanwhile.

 

[Amka]

Thanks Armin. But are there any settings I can do, or take care of any
particular thing that boosts up the performance? I searched the MS KB, but
all i couldget is how to speed up the launch of IDE. Can you find some links
for help?

I don't think there are links not pointing to:
More RAM, faster CPU, defrag, faster HD.

Amka,

I did not find any response by Armin.

Have you noticed that you cross posted this to multiple newsgroups?

Have you noticed that the replies are not necessarily cross posted to all
the original newsgroups?

Appreciate if you look into the
details of my issue,as given to Cor.

Two important questions?

- Are you running VS.NET 2002 or VS.NET 2003?
- Is this an issue with VS.NET or running your app?

Hope this helps
Jay

Just tries that Armin. But once done, how do I go back to the normal view,
if I want to see the layout of the form?

1. Select the file
2. Click on the "show designer" icon, or press Shift+F7 (might be different
keys if you use different keyboard settings). You can also press Shift+F7 if
you are in the code window and want to open the designer.

- or -
Right-click on the file and select "show designer".

Hi Armin,

Thanks )

The application is slow while loading the particular project only. And as I
mentioned earlier, it contains around

120 classes and forms. Are there any benchmark/tests done for the

maximum number of forms/modules (in a project) which can be opened and

worked in the IDE without any performance hit.

Please help me with this.

Regards.
