I have a strategy I use when closing form apps that have become 'complicated'. It is built-in to our standard app template.

We define a 'Closing / Stopping' synchronization object in the form of...

I would advise against using concatenation. Use IO.Path.Combine

Change the one line that loads the .rtf file to this

I found this in the Reference Source. Didn't seem to matter if it was Show or ShowDialog.

It is a forms application running. Net 4.8

So my PC is fast with a lot of cores. The code in the Load takes less than 500ms, and the code in Button1 takes less than 100ms

Obviously there IS manipulation.

Why would you store dates as strings? Generally not a good idea.

Depending on the structure of the XML and uniqueness of the names you might get away with this,


'the given
Dim path As String = ""
Dim assembliesElement As XElement
...

Then the XML you originally showed was different. Glad it worked.

The assumptions


Dim path As String = ""
Dim assembliesElement As XElement
' assembliesElement = XElement.Load(path)
assembliesElement = <Job>

Here is a little example. I have a button and label on a form.

Thanks!

Are you manually positioning / remembering the location of the forms? I've done that and had the user remove monitors with a form on it.

They were given code in the form of .DLLs. Not sure what they code have learned by de-compiling and we all work for the same organization if you go far enough up the food chain.

Can you recommend...

So my first test didn't work, but this did.

Do you have an example of how you want it to look because I'm not sure what you want.

In the Namespaces documentation I came across this, "Multiple assemblies can use the same namespace. Visual Basic treats them as a single set of names. For example, you can define classes for a...

Yes it was. Better than if it had gone the other way.:check:

Thanks for the kind words.

Not sure I see the distinction. I don't want the other devs in the House / Senate to see source.

There was a time when that would have been relevant and ignored. Better living through chemistry.

For this probably not, not sure if there is even a difference.

Not in the code you posted does it.

As far as the numbers representing a Boolean I follow the remarks here.

Some code to illustrate flag manipulation based on CheckBox checked. I added other flags for testing. See Button3.

What if you have two monitors with different resolutions?

Since you didn't show code I'll guess that you are using Process.Start and storing the Process. Each process has an ID. Using Resource Monitor you can see each process and it's ID.
