Go To: Visual Basic.NET 2002/2003/2005/2008 OR Visual Basic.net 2005 Only AND Visual Basic 2008 ONLY!
The VB 2005/2008 Examples are at the Bottom of THIS page.
Remember that VB 05 and VB 08 can run earlier VB.NET 2002 and VB.NET 2003 projects with no real problems. So you can use the .net 02/03 examples here in 05/08 as well. Just remember you can't run 05/08 projects in .net 02/03. Well when I tried to it wouldn't let me. :)

| Properly using DoEvents() in your Code | This example shows how to properly use DoEvents() in your applications. Just by looking at the screenshot you can see the performance increases MANY times over compared to consistantly using DoEvents(). Whats also nice, is that your application will NOT appear frozen and the user can STILL interact with your program! By using the GetInputState Api call you can only process the messages when there is actually messages that needs to be processed! Thus getting major performance benefits compared to using DoEvents() consistantly. This example not only shows how to properly use DoEvents() but it also shows you how to use the "QueryPerformanceCounter" and "QueryPerformanceFrequency" functions to test/time the performance of your code. This is probably the most accurate, highest resolution timer available to programmers. | click here | click here |

| CPU Usage and Data Example | A fairly extensive example of how to use Visual Basic.NET 2005 to use Performance Counters and the Windows Registry to retrieve various information and statistics on a computers cores/processors. It will determine how many cpu's/cores are installed in the computer, and then retrieve various data about the cpu's from the registry. Then it shows how to use Windows - Performance Counters to monitor the usage of each processor/core thats being used, along with the Total usage of the computer. Hopefully there was something useful you could get from this. | click here | click here |
| Create/Using Managed Windows API Timers - VB 2008 | A small example made with Visual Basic 2008 on how to use the API Timer to run codes at a certain interval. This timer appears to be just a managed wrapper around the SetTimer/KillTimer API Timer in the User32.dll library. Thus, the highest resolution I was able to get was 15-16ms which is right around the GetTickCount timer resolution which is a part of the user32.dll library as well. While this project will not load in VB 2005, the codes will work with 05 since the timer was first added in version 2.0 of the .NET Framework. IF you want higher resolution Windows Timer Events, then try using the multi-media based Un-Managed timer event called: timeSetEvent/timeKillEvent, which has a resolution of 1 ms. | click here | click here |
