Console application takes forever to access data

Hi,

I've created a console application which is scheduled to run every morning
to pull out some reports. The data retrieval is through stored procedures
which takes a max of 2-3 mins to run. But the console application takes more
than 6 minutes to run each stored proc. So as the number of reports starts
increasing, the application is taking forever to execute. I've noticed that
the same procs. if called from a windows form returns faster.
Does anyone have a hint on speeding up things.
Thanks in advance,
Debi

I suspect that the Windows and Console apps are not quite as identical as
you think. Different use of libraries/Objects, open closing connections,
etc. can make some amazing differences in performance.

There are a few items one could guess at, but I suggest you actually
measure/profile the app to find out exactly where it is spending its time
and examine that code.

See if any of this helps...

This is long. Bear with me, as I will really go through all the convoluted stuff that shows there is a problem with streams (at least when used to redirect stdout). The basic idea is that my application (VB.NET) will start a process, redirect its stdout and capture that process' output, displaying it in a window. I've written a component for this, and a test application for the component. It allows me to specify a command to execute,...

While running, the function uses "cout" a lot, to print out useful data. Now here is the problem: this data is being written in an output window and i want to redirect this data to an application window or a text box. If thats not possible, then the data should be at...

Hi all, I have developed a vb.net console application which will run some code every seconds. To get this working I used a timer "System.Timers". When I start my console application it exits within a second. So I added the line: "Console.Read()". Everything seemes to run fine but after a few days the application stopped. Without an error. I think it has something to do with the lifetime of the "Console.Read()". Is this right?

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
