No. A simple DB query with required filter in where condition will be faster than iterating an array. As I said, in worst case, searches in arrays takes O(n) time. This becomes pretty slow when you have huge number of data. Databases are clever to handle searches and can perform well than a linear storage like array.
TheMrProgrammer wrote: because the app needs to iterate through the data many times.
If you still need data in memory, load it to a right data structure that supports faster searches. You can try a SortedList which will do searches in O(log n) time as it uses binary search internally. This can improve the search time drastically.
If you have 2 million unique strings, HashSet(T) is also a good choice. It uses hash tables internally and searches are done in constant (O(1)) time.

If by iterating you mean you will need each row once, then loading them all at once is the worst thing you could do.

You are wrong! Magic powder sits out of managed heap and there is no way for it to reduce memory allocated for managed strings.

If I were you I would check into how to call garbage collection more often or call it explicitly. Also something you might find useful is the use of memory pressure.

The keypress event allows you to block the text from going on to the textbox, Handle the keyup event instead, if you want the key's contents to already be reflected in the textboxes contents. It's not a bug, at all.
(edit) as I think about it, the textchanged event is the one you want, if you want to know when the text in the textbox changes.

use KeyUp event.
Keypreess fires just before the Text is changed. ![Rose | [Rose]](https://codeproject.global.ssl.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/rose.gif)

After scouring the net for info on using VB.net to generate graphic output, specifically a series of rectangles at mathematically derived intervals (a lattice, in fact), I'm now wondering if it's the best way to go. I've found nothing that demonstrates what I'm trying to do. I'm just starting out on a long, long road which I've been meaning to start on for a few years. I'd like to be able to create utilities as needed some day but wanted to start with this project to get going. Is VB (and GDI+) a bad choice for this type of work? I've made spreadsheets to do the math of laying out lattices but seeing them is just as important. Steer me in the right direction if there's a better way to go. I chose VB based on my thinking it's a relatively easy way to quickly get into programming.

Not even remotely. It's the most trivial way I can see of doing it in a meaningful language. You just handle the paint event of your form, and you're passed a Graphics object. This object has methods for drawing shapes onto the form, using other objects like Brushes and Pens.
I think your best bet is to look at the MSDN for help on the Graphics object, I suspect that once you know that's where to look, you'll find that the documentation is going to lead you from there.

By all means, ask more specific questions if you still get stuck, but I think that's the boost you needed to get you on your way.
One thing, if you create any brushes, etc, they need to be disposed of, you call Dispose() on them, after using them. Using a system brush like Brushes.Black, does not have this requirement. Nor should you Dispose of the graphics object passed to you on the event args, although if you ever create your own, you should dispose of them, too.

Uncanny timing, I had just read about 'dispose' on MSDN. Too soon to tell if I will be using a brush or coordinate points-to-lines to create filled rectangles : {, which may be far more work but seems to offer easier translation from the resultant calculations to be performed in determining spacing, typically to thousandths of inches to reduce accumulated error. The graphics don't require such precision, merely visual feedback, but no sense not using it if it's there I figure.

Hello, I need help!!!
I have my application in visual studio 2008 (originally 2003). I use Access datbase and Cristal report Viewer to preview my reports. When I'm in the preview of a report, my whole system slow down really bad.
I have my database optimized and indexed
Any ideas what I can be doing wrong? if the problem is CR or Access.
Thanks!

|

|

well their could be alot of reason one can guess only in my opinion you might are passing your whole tables to cr and might then will be filtering using your selection criteria which is making it slower

Thanks for that fast answer.
The issuie is that the report shows up fast, but while the preview of the report (crviewer) is open the rest of the computers slow down, it sound to my like all the database were locked but not because it still working but slow.

try to use windows task manger and see which process is consuming more cpu and memory

I'll try it whan I go to my client office.
In the mean time we found out that if they leave a preview of the any report open and minimize they continue working normally, if you don’t have a preview screen open your computer start slowing down…that’s weird!

Hi,
Is there a way that you can check the state of the left mouse button inside a timer routine? I have a mouseup event but sometimes it seems like it doesn't go into the routine when i let go of the button.
Thanks
|
|
|
|
|
If you are having a handler then it should be executed when mouse up happens. Can you cite a scenario when it does not fires?

I'm basically making my own slider.
Dim mouseheight As Integer
Dim slidepos As Integer
Dim handletop As Integer
Private Sub sliderhandle_mousedown(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles sliderhandle.MouseDown
handletop = sliderhandle.Top
If MouseButtons = Windows.Forms.MouseButtons.Left Then
SliderTimer.Enabled = True
End If
mouseheight = MousePosition.Y
End Sub
Private Sub sliderhandle_mouseup(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles sliderhandle.MouseUp
SliderTimer.Enabled = False
handletop = sliderhandle.Top
End Sub
Private Sub SliderTimer_Tick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles SliderTimer.Tick
slidepos = handletop + MousePosition.Y - mouseheight
If slidepos >= EmptyBar.Bottom - 15 Then
sliderhandle.Top = EmptyBar.Bottom - 15
ElseIf slidepos <= EmptyBar.Top Then
sliderhandle.Top = EmptyBar.Top
Else
sliderhandle.Top = slidepos
End If
endTimer:
End Sub
End Class
So when i have the mouse down it is going through the timer routine and when i let go it should make sliderTimer.enabled = false
It works most of the time except for when i click and move the slider for a split second. Then what happens is it follows my mouse even though i do not have the button clicked. So i was thinking if i could check the mouse button state then i could force it to disable the timer.

Hi,
Control.MouseButtons contains the instantaneous value you want.
if ((Control.MouseButtons & MouseButtons.Left)!=0) ... would be C# code, VB must be similar.

Sorry if this has been answered, but I couldn't find it.
I'm in VS2005 but using win7 as my os. There are problems resizing forms (strange flickers) and the new win7 "tricks" (for instance, dragging the window off the top to maximize) don't work. Do I need to recompile with VS2008 or is there another solution?
Thanks

Works for me just fine on Win7 Ultimate

OK, thanks, I see that a simple form does work OK. So I have done something to my form that stops it from working. Any ideas?
Thanks again

Lots of code in the Form.Resize handler?
