Network Performance and Scalability

 

 

What do we have in this chapter 14 Part 4?

  1. Build and Run the VB .NET Project

  2. Enabling the Visual Studio Editor Line Numbers

Build and Run

 

Build the program and make sure there is no error.

 

A Simple VB .NET Web Class Performance Measurement Program Example: building the project

 

If you encounter the error for the not found Sub Main, do the following steps. Invoke the project property page.

Next, run the program at the command prompt. In this sample run, we are using the following arguments:

 

%\FastGetVB\FastGetVB\bin\Debug>fastgetvb -c 5 -n 8 -u http://www.reactos.org/en/dev.html

 

The following screenshot shows the sample console output.

You may want to increase the –n and –c options (or lower those values), re-run the program and notice and compare the outputs.

 

Enabling the Visual Studio Editor Line Numbers

 

To answer a question from many students on how to enable the line number for the Visual Studio editor so that it is easier to troubleshoot the code in the Debug mode, please invoke the Visual Studio Options page.

 

Enabling the Visual Studio Editor Line Numbers: invoking the Visual Studio Options page

 

We can enable the line number for all the languages in Visual Studio by selecting the Line Numbers setting under the Display group check box as shown in the following screenshot.

We can also limit the line number display for certain languages only as shown in the following screenshots for Visual Basic .NET, C# and C++.
