Re: Slow startup of Deployed Application

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

I'm guessing he's suffering the issue whereby a user clicks on the icon to
start his application, then nothing happens for several seconds... This
causes the user to get frustrated and click on the icon again, creating
multiple copies of the application.

This doesn't help with the perception of performance either... I've had
users complain about this.. t's even worse on a fresh install because the
application then needs "jitting"

Simon

Hi All.

I realize that when my Deployed winforms application starts, Windows
needs
to load the .net 2 framework before control is given to my
application....

Is there anyway to either ...

- preload the .net 2 framework (windows startup or whatever)

- splash a screen ... application loading ... please wait ... type of
message.

I was considering building a 'launcher' program in VB 6 ... a simple
splash
window ...

this launcher would

- open a form ... prgraming is starting please be patient...
- call my application to start ...
- pole a file every few seconds to check to see if my main applicaiton is
open yet ...
- once flag in file set ... shutdown form...


Any thoughts / ideas ...

Thanks
Jeff.
