Hi
I want to use the following declarations but vb dotnet keeps complaining
that currency can't be used because it private ?
I have tried it in a module and in the declaration pare same error!
Private Declare Function QueryPerformanceFrequency Lib "kernel32" (ByVal
lpFrequency As Currency) As Long
Private Declare Function QueryPerformanceCounter Lib "kernel32" (ByVal
lpPerformanceCount As Currency) As Long

These are declarations for the wrong language (VB6). In VB.Net:
Private Declare Function QueryPerformanceFrequency Lib "kernel32"
(ByRef lpFrequency As Long) As Boolean
Private Declare Function QueryPerformanceCounter Lib "kernel32"
(byref lpPerformanceCount As long) As boolean

Thanks for the quick reply and help

Sorry it still gives the same error!?

this what I'm trying to do, using the code bellow I insert a call to a web
service at the "some code line" and I want to know in milisecs how long it
takes to return a response.
Private Declare Function QueryPerformanceFrequency Lib "kernel32"
(lpFrequency As Currency) As Long
Private Declare Function QueryPerformanceCounter Lib "kernel32"
(lpPerformanceCount As Currency) As Long
Dim curFreq as Currency
Dim curStart as Currency
Dim curEnd as Currency
Dim dblResult as Double
QueryPerformanceFrequency curFreq 'Get the timer frequency
QueryPerformanceCounter curStart 'Get the start time
'Some code to test
QueryPerformanceCounter curEnd 'Get the end time
dblResult = (curEnd - curStart) / curFreq 'Calculate the duration (in
seconds)

Again, this code is for the wrong language. Well, not the language is wrong,
but you are using it in the wrong place. It is VB6 code. You are probably
using VB.net, aren't you? Both are different. Use my declaration. There is
no Currency data type. Use 'Long' as the parameters according to the
declaration.
Armin
OK thanks again, I will try it when I get home and let you know how it goes!
And yes I'm trying to use VB dotnet
Thanks

They are not currency values.
Currency has been used in VB6 only because there was no other 8 bytes
integer (or better: scaled integer) data type. Now we have Long.

I sure remember that when i moved from VB 6 to VB.Net that in the
conversion guides was stated that the decimal datatype should be used to
hold currency values
"Nor is the Currency data type. Instead, use the new Decimal data type,
which can handle more digits on both sides of the decimal point, for all
money variables and calculations. Decimal is also directly supported by the
common language runtime."
after a small search http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...ypechanges.asp
after some googling i found that some people recomend a 64 bit integer to
hold currency values

That's true, except in this case - since they aren't storing currency
values. The need a 64-bit integer. In VB6, you had to use a currency
value (since that's what they were interanlly). In VB.NET you use Long,
which is a 64-bit integer.

The decimal data type is a 64-bit integer internally.
