Hi,
I have finished a project in VB.NET which is working well. My deployment issues (see separate post) have also been resolved following advise from this site and hence it is ready to go live. I have one final nagging issue though. The app takes about 20 seconds to load which, from a users perspective, is a little disconcerting as it looks like nothing is happening.

I am very new to coding (approx. 6-9 months as a hobby) and cannot work out how to use the VS debugger/tools to determine what is causing the delay when loading. The app is less than 1MB in size and so size doesn't seem likely to be the issue. Can anyone advise on how I should tackle the problem or point me to a resource which might help.

Many thanks and all suggestions are much appreciated.

If you need to see some code for any reason just ask.

Steve
