.net framework 1.1 application takes very long time running on VISTA

[snow]

Hi All,

I have a VB.NET program which is developed with VS .NET 2003. This
program works very good on XP computer, but it runs very slow on
VISTA. How to make this .net framwork 1.1 application run faster on
VISTA? what cause it run so slow on VISTA?

Thanks!!!

I suggest to describe in more detail what's so slow (the user interface,
certain operations, ...).

Thanks for the quick response!

When the program is parsing the data and plotting with an ActiveX
control, it seems to take forever.

ACK!

Sounds like a non ActiveX redesign would be a good idea.

Besides that, have you ran the application in debug mode? Can you find
the exact parts that are sluggish?

This program is a Visual Studio .NET 2003 application, I can not build
development environment on VISTA, so I can not run debug mode on
VISTA.

I believe Visual Studio 2008 can target .NET 1.1 so you should be able
to debug it from the 2008 IDE. Or you could try the upgrade wizard and
debug the upgraded code.

Also, are the XP and Vista machines two different PCs or the same on
with the OS upgraded? If different computers, the problem may be the
hardware of the computer and not the operating system. Also, Vista
uses more of the RAM and CPU than XP does, so part of the performance
hit might be from that, and not your application.

Official, however you can, but if there are problems, then you are on your
own so it is not advised to do (including by me).

But in this case, there is probably not any problem because it is only for
finding the error.

Seth,

I hate to disagree, but ...

The last I heard, anyway, VB'2008 will only handle Fx 2.0+

(Although I'd be very, /very/, *very* pleased to hear otherwise)

I've checked in VS2008 Beta 2, and it only goes back as far as .NET 2.0.

1.1 would have been so convenient...

Darn.

The last version I played around with was the beta, I was thinking all
flavors were supported.
