VB performances
I would like to have some comments or advices about the performances a VB program could achieve.
In particular, I would like to know if it is possible for a VB app to communicate with another VB app by TCP/IP fast enough for the server to send messages and for the client to receive them a maximum of 1 millisecond later (critical messages).
Is this pure fantasy or is it possible to do this despite of the poor performances known to VB apps ?
How long does it take a VB app for a typical line of code ?
Everyone's opinion and answers will be very appreciated.

There are quite a lot of parameters involve before you can come out with the verdict. I've seen VB being used as a COM component that interacts with machines in a hi-tech industry. The machines send their states to the component and it, in turn, saves the states into DB and at the same time triggers appropriate actions based on the state received.
I guess it depends on how familiar are you with C++/VB networking logic/structure and how fast do you need this to be done. With a proper coding, VB is sufficient in most cases but if you're more familiar with C++, then I'd suggest to use C++.
Good Luck,

If you code it right then vb will do fine, but wherever network is involved there is nothing sure. You just have to try it out, if it doesn't work in vb then it probably doesn't work with other languages either.
