textbox1.text = string.empty;

Or don't put a value in while in design mode.

'while page loads' makes me think this is a lost ASP.NET question ?

in a on mouse entry event ( or what ever the correct event I can't remember from top off my head) call the code above.

textbox1.text = "";

I just had a look and think they actually probably want to use enter. Hover is if it goes over, enter when they use the control

maybe just like this

private void textBox1_Enter(object sender, EventArgs e)

textBox1.Text = String.Empty;

Execution time.....??

Hi all,
I had an application on vs2003 in c#.net.

the execution/processing speed is kind of slow.
Suppose there are methods as

dtStart = Now;//date time obj
MethodA();
.
.
MethodG();
dtEnd = Now;//date time obj

I use datetime class to find out the elapsed time as
elapsed = dtEnd - dtStart;

elapsed time is approx 2.81 sec. or always above 2.5 secs.

Is this is slow?
What these methods are doing is operating upon some string,bool,array datatypes.
mostly string manipulation.
One Big string and then extracting other string obj from this !!

but most string,bool, etc data types are local to methods, and i guess they got out of scope(eligible for garbage collection) after method lost focus.

a)How can i speed up execution?
b)Is there a way to find out which method is taking most time or culprit method/object/operation?

regards

Rewrite your code to be more efficient

Yes, several methods including profiling.

Well, without seeing the code how can anyone advise you on whats wrong? I can make several guesses, but its pointless.

Start with b, so that you know which part of the code that needs optimising.

Hum Dum wrote:

The most basic would be to get the execution time for each method to see where the most time is used. You can use the StopWatch class to get better resolution than DateTime.Now offers.

Despite everything, the person most likely to be fooling you next is yourself.

There i am calling approx. 12-15 methods call in total, embedded inside one method,
so, for each method "Do i have to do this?"

Or is there any vs tool which helps me in finding out time taken by methods?

I already done that, It says this is only useful if you are performing operation on single string like appending, manipulating the same one.

But here, what i am doing is extracting many small string from ONE main string, also passing this Main string to different method. and on these small strings i don't perform any operation and yes i am using regular expression for extracting peculiar strings Smile | :)

Any other help/comment on my this way would be appreciated.
Or any other light Smile | :)

insert Console.WriteLine(DateTime.Now.ToString("HH:mm:ss.fff")+": some text"); at several locations in your code, that will immediately tell you where most time is spent.

Regexes are anywhere from very slow to slow; optimize them, and/or throw them out and write proper search and replace code yourself.

Whatever you do, don't show us your code; someone might spot the problem at once. Laugh | :laugh:

Aah !! that i will never do Smile | :)

Well after putting up several DateTime.Now i found the real culprit, and to utter most surprise its not string function which i had wrote Poke tongue | ;-P

.

Its turns out to be display notification(as in Messengers there comes a pop up window at bottom right corner, not written by me Big Grin | :-D

). Its consuming 2.5 sec out of 2.7 sec.

So, if you plz help me with this!!

Can we show this notification parallel, and move on to later execution.
not waiting until it ends up !!
How should i do this, any help/link would be appreciated.

But still curious, Is this approx .2 sec(subtracting time taken by notification) also slow??
your opinion?

regards.

Then find or create a better popup. I trust it is not consuming 2.5 sec, instead the animation lasts that long, and nothing else happens in between because it isn't based on a timer nor a thread (so just a bunch of Thread.Sleep calls).

Throw out the slow animation, look at the timestamps, and decide for yourself.

Well if i am the one who decides then, Wallah, I M THE ONE !!! Big Grin | :-D

But unfortunately, my seniors and customers looks out the performance.
Or i have to do self-testing/analyzing more n more.

I guess you are here in this programming world from a very long time and have lot of exp. behind you.
Few ques-
a)are there any guidelines/rules to look up while coding in respects of resources/execution-time ?

b)Points to remember always while coding?
(so that no one can post my code here on coding horror forum Poke tongue | ;-P

)

As own my on i have to born again(or my 1-2 yrs run away) Smile | :)

,
But if get pointed/guided by some superior then its really helpful.

Hi,

I could write a book on software performance, it is a huge topic.

You haven't told hardly anything about your app, and haven't shown any code, so how could anyone judge its performance?

From experience, in 0.2 sec one can do any of the following:
- copy 100MB of data (RAM to RAM)
- read 10MB of disk data
- calculate 10 million prime numbers

does your program come close to any of those? if not, you probably are wasting time/cycles/...

guidelines:
- make it work correctly first (without using silly algorithms, silly coding); then optimize
- choose your algorithms carefully
- choose your data structures carefully
- don't use polling
- measure the results accurately
- consider and compare alternatives
- consider caching
- ... the list goes on
- as always, there occasionally may be a valid reason for not obeying some of the guidelines

Hum Dum wrote:

that is a dumb reason.
if there were a "stupid questions" forum, would you stop asking questions?
