Ha! This is bizarre. I can run the main program from VS, and it runs just fine. The controls all appear where they're supposed to, and they function just fine. It's just that they don't appear in the designer anymore. It also compiles just fine. I'll keep working this, but it's not as big a...

Yes, I can. But, in the main program in which the custom control is used, when VS starts up it generates this error: The variable 'FileObject1' is either undeclared or was never assigned. In this case, 'FileObject' is the name of my custom control. When I look at the form in the designer, all...

Brian - if I understand you correctly, I believe that is what I'm doing. My control is created in a separate project, and compiled into a dll. There is a reference to that dll in the project that uses it, and I can still use the object browser there to see all of the member and properties of my...

towguy - I'm having this exact problem. The app worked fine until I created an installer for it, now when I open it I get the undeclared or never assigned error for my custom control. Did you ever get this solved?

I found a BIOS setting for Hyperthreading and turned it off. It did seem to affect CPU usage, in that it climbed to around 70%. The overall application speed was unchanged, however, and the slower Celeron remains more than twice as fast. I did find the following on the PC World webiste, a little...

Thanks, LloydSev, but it's hard to believe I can't change that behavior somehow. How can all single applications be restricted to receiving half the processor time? It's as if I have a 1.4 GHz P4 instead of a 2.8. This would change my question from, "what XP setting can I change", to "is there...

I have two XP pro computers that I'm trying to run my image analysis software on. One's a P4 2.8 GHz with 512 Meg, the other's a Celeron 2.4 GHz with 256 Meg. I was suprised to see the Celeron was running my app (which is numerically intensive) more than twice as fast. The task manager shows...
