MapForums

Hello,

Recently I have developed a web application (aps.net and c#) that uses Mappoint.net. Everything is working fine, however, when creating map that has in average 20 locations on it, processing time is extremely high. I’m using threads to find each location before rendering the map and still takes in average of 20 seconds. Actually, it ranges from 9 to 30 seconds, 20 seconds seems to be somewhat my average. Before using threads to find each of 20 locations the processing time was more than 30 seconds in average. I’m just wondering if any of you have experienced anything like this and how did you speed up your processing time.

Thanks,

Hello,

One thing that will speed up this call if you are doing it multiple times is to use preauthentication.

FindServiceSoap findService = new FindServiceSoap();
findService.Credentials = new System.Net.NetworkCredential("UserID", "Password");
findService.PreAuthenticate = true;

Besides using threads as you are, the only other option that I can think of to speed up this process is if possible to have all the geocodes for the locations pre-stored either by uploading them to the MapPoint servers or to store them in an internal DB.

Pre authentication worked, it decreased processing time by almost 50%.



Thanks a lot !!!
