In VB.Net , Form Opening is Very Slow?

[ganeshvkl]

hi,
My project is VB.net with Sql server 2000. i store image in database now the database size is around 400 MB. when i Click the form (image i have stored & Retrieved), it takes around 3 minutes to show the form , whereas other forms are working fine. ?

Thanx in Adv
Ganesh.

Are you returning JUST the image you want to show, or ALL images and picking the one you want?

hi ,
Thanx For u'r Response.
I 'm not loading any Images when the form is Display,the Images loaded in the grid depends on Customer Selection. Since the form is Slow?

Could you post some code on it?
Specifically the form_load() function (and anything that it calls)
And any details about any bound controls on the form?

hi,
My Code is in Form _Load

InitializeForm()
        cboCustomer.DataSource = mdlGeneralFunctions.fnLoadCombo(CHR_CUSTOMER, BLN_FREQUENT)
        SetComboProperties(cboCustomer, False, "Name", "intRecordNo")
        SetComboProperties(cboCustomer, 500)
        dtpFrom.Format = DateTimePickerFormat.Custom
        dtpFrom.CustomFormat = "dd/MM/yyyy"
        dtpFrom.Value = Microsoft.VisualBasic.DateAdd(DateInterval.Day, -31, Today)
        dtpTo.Format = DateTimePickerFormat.Custom
        dtpTo.CustomFormat = "dd/MM/yyyy"
        dtpTo.Value = Today

In that InitializeForm , I clear all Controls....

Since It's Working Very Slow

InitializeForm( ) should be in the contructor, not in the form_load()
See if that helps?
I would guess though that it is your database call that is slowing everything down.
