VB5 APE
Author
Anyone out there know how the hell you use the Application Performance Explorer (APE) that comes with VB5? It kinda looks like it''s only used to measure network performance. Is there any way to profile code with it to find bottlenecks, timings, etc.?
the best way to optimize your program for maximum speed is not to write it in VB!!!!
ok, unless u''re doing a program that''s not to supposed to handle big tasks, or if u wanna write a program quickly, then VB would be useful
but i dont rrecommend making DX games with VB (if that''s what u''re doing)

Yes, I think it is only for network testing. Visual Basic is really designed for database development and not for games. Even though it was not designed for games, they can still be written in Visual Basic. Don''t believe the non believers.

People, I didn''t ask whether VB was a good game language or not. I know it isn''t. I''m doing it anyway because I like to spend my time learning instead of fighting a compiler. Besides, using an inherently slow language forces you to become a faster coder to compensate! :-)
Thanks for the tip nes8bit. I kinda suspected as much because all the options have to do with client/server relationships and ping times and the like...
Follow-up question - does anyone know where I can get a program that WILL analyse a VB program for timings and bottlenecks?

You don''t know what the hell I''m talking about but you go out of your way to open your yap anyways... Typical Ontarian!!
I believe I covered why I''m using VB in my last post. Have someone read it to you if you''re having trouble.
Anyone have a real answer? Anyone?????
