when a button is clicked i start a seperate thead which is population a grid and does something with a webbrowser-control. But when the button is click the new thread seems not to be seperate, cause the UI is freezing until the new thread is done.

I have a class that has purely static Methods and properties. I am calling an async method on the class "Load" that asks a web service for a chunk of data, which then fires an event that executes the return method, "LoadCompleted". I have no idea how long the call is going to take (the difference between calling the "Load" method, then the "LoadCompleted" getting called).
I would like to block the application from proceeding any further until the callback method has been raised (as the app will try and get stuff from this class, which isn't populated until the "LoadComplete" method sets the data).
Is there a synchronous wait function that won't tie up the UI-thread in .NET WPF? Something like:
Sub OnClick(sender As Object, e As MouseEventArgs) Handles button1.Click
Wait(2000)
'Ui still processes other events here
MessageBox.Show("Is has been 2 seconds since you clicked the button!")
End Sub
I have been reading the async design patterns on MSDN and the general idea makes sense to me but in practice it is proving to be more difficult. I am working on a project utilizing VMWARE VIX.
HTML Code: [url]. Each function such as connecting to a host server, retrieving properties, etc. can be executed in two different ways.
Connecting to a host using a blocking Wait:
Code:
Dim m_lib As New VixLib
Dim m_hostJob As VixCOM.IJob
[CODE]...
Code:
Dim m_lib As New VixLib
Dim m_hostJob As VixCOM.IJob
dim m_callback as VixCOM.ICallback
[CODE]...
The problem with the VIX SDK is that sometimes the functions never return, hanging the application. dblock.
HTML Code:[URL] came up with a library that specifies a timeout value. When the timeout runs out the method aborts and returns regardless whether it finished or not.
The callback method is an active wait where the code continues to execute. What I want to implement is a blocking wait with a timeout. The ICallback interface has one sub OnVixEvent(IJob,Integer,IVixHandle). This method is fired at least twice, first when some progress is posted and second when it is complete. The first call to this method can be one second after registering the callback or 30 seconds, so I can not rely on this method to block the main thread. how to create some kind of async result class that would block the main thread from executing until either a timer runs out or the OnVixEvent method returns an Operation Complete signal that also implements ICallback.
I am a novice in Threads, but I want to know how to order thread execution in my scenario, and is the following :
UI Thread : Windows Form Background
Thread : Kind of print daemon
implemented with recursive methods
IO Operation : a StreamWriter that do
the job of File.AppendText()
When I execute my main app.exe, sometimes it launches the Windows Forms and the execution process in the task manager (app.exe), in some opportunities its just launches the execution process in background. How can I determine the behavior of launching UI, I have to establish a priority or somewhat else? Code: I'm using framework 2.0 and any answers could be writted in C# or Vb.Net.
In one application, I need use 4 simultaneous threads.When the threads finished, I need to update the text of a TextBox.So, I create 4 Textbox, and I wanna the threads change the text to FINISHED.Each thread change one distinct TB.I use this "example"
Dim Terminados As Integer = 0
Private Sub frmEnviarMensagem_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
Timer1.Enabled = True
Timer1.Start()

The problem is, I have an error in the red lines.The error is: INVALIDOPERATIONEXCEPTION "Cross-Thread operation not valid: Control tbPlaca1 Accessed from a thread other than the thread it was created on."I don't use cross threading. Each TB only was accessed for the correspondent thread, and for the "main program".
This is the error message I am getting:
"Cross-thread operation not valid: Control 'Panel1' accessed from a thread other than the thread it was created on." The reason I am getting this error is because I am opening up a new form and then calling these three things:
Panel1.Show()
Label1.Show()
Label2.Show()
why I get this error message because it doesn't occur normally if I open Form2 after closing Form1, it only occurs when I open Form2 after closing Form4.
I have done a program using vb2005 to display reading from my microcontroller bs2 board but have encountered some problems. My code are as follows.

SerialPort1.Open()

I've encounter an error which is, (Cross-thread operation not valid: Control 'txt1' accessed from a thread other than the thread it was created on.)

Would anyone be able to help me here please. I'm fairly new to VB.net and threading so im just trying to figure out what is happening.When I debug this I am getting the error thread operation not valid: Control 'ProgressBar1' accessed from a thread other than the thread it was created on.
I'm a little lost as to why the error is occuring or how to fix it. I've had to put the progress bar in a separate thread otherwise the GUI crashes

My understanding is that thread.join will suspend the execution of code on the calling thread until the spawned thread finishes or is aborted...
With that in mind, I tried this:
For i = 1 to 50
threads = New Thread(AddressOf test)
threads.IsBackground = True
threads.SetApartmentState(ApartmentState.STA)
[CODE]...
However, the rest of the code runs when the loop finishes, not waiting for all the spawned threads to finish. Since the rest of the code needs the threads to finish (otherwise the rest will error).
I have written an application that loads a form - frmCad as well as AutoCad. It does this via a class which detects when AutoCad quits.
Friend Class CadApp Private WithEvents AppObject As AcadApplication... Private Sub AppObject_BeginQuit(ByRef Cancel As Boolean) Handles AppObject.BeginQuit RaiseEvent Quit() End SubEnd Class
My main class loads frmCad as well as CadApp.
Public Class Cad Private WithEvents frmCad As CadForm Private WithEvents app As CadApp... Public Sub ShowForm() If frmCad Is Nothing Then frmCad = New CadForm frmCad.Visible = True End Sub... Private Sub app_Quit() Handles app.Quit frmCad.Dispose() frmCad = Nothing .... End Sub
When I debug the program, it stops at frmCad.Dispose()The program continues to execute, but all the code after it fails to work.Looking more carefully I get an error message which contains:-Cross-thread operation not valid: Control 'Autocad' accessed from a thread other than the thread it was created on.
My error:Cross-thread operation not valid: Control 'label2' accessed from a thread other than the thread it was created on. I want to be able to give my Public RunBot() sub access to edit Labels, buttons, etc without an error.

i used it and it works fine then. but as it is mentioned its not a good practice to use it. So what should i do? is it ok if i use this as i am not able to use correct practice. Mine application is not for enterprise purpose. its just my class project, and it works fine even if i put application working in background. System works ok. I dont know how to correct this error.As i dont have that much knowlege of threads.
So please guide me how to fix this in correct way otherwise i am force to go for bad programming practice

I'm in the Progress of changing a big Application from Singlethread logic to Multithread logic. I'm currently move Dataloading Logic into a sperate thread, and work with callbacks after they are finished. I have Synclocks in place in order to ensure threadsafty. But sonetimes the Synclocks wait even if there is no other thread with the same synclock active. Is there any way to find out what witch thread they are waiting for, and why? BTW, I have FW45 installed, may that be the reason, since it'S a inplace upgrade for FW40?

In my DoWork() function I register with our sip server. Then I have to wait for a response back. However, the response I get is received in another event. However, before I am able to check the flag in the DoWork() the DoWork() has all ready finished and the response comes after.
I am trying to find a way to wait in the DoWork() until I get a response in the Diagnotic event. I have a global flag that is set in that event that I have to check in the DoWork().I was thinking of maybe blocking in the DoWork() until the other event is finished. Maybe using a join.
' Do work in background worker
'Will return less than 8 if there are no error message from the library
If (Not Me.bgwProcessLogin.CancellationPending) Then
' Register and wait for response

I've been reading up on asynchronous function / web pages for ASP.NET 3.5 (we're not using v4 yet) but the ones I've seen all focus on performing a background task but then still coming back to finish up and send the response, after the task is complete.
What I want to do is simply kick off the background task (in this case a call to a web service) but then return a response to the browser immediately - ie. without waiting for the asynchronous task to complete. I don't even need to know if it succeeds or not.What is the best way to do that? I can't seem to find examples of kicking off what you might call an "orphan" background task in ASP.NET.
I thought of doing it via a javascript Ajax call on the page I show to the user, but the information passed to the web service is sensitive, so that's out of the question. But that kind of illustrates what I want to do.
[ed] Another idea: Is there an event in the ASP.NET model I can use which occurs after the response has been sent to the browser and the connection closed? ie. So more processing can occur without the user waiting for it?

View 13 RepliesI'm creating a Client Server application which involves theServer running some scripts in clients and getting back results in an automated way. In Server, other than Main thread, i have 2 worker threads, a) one monitoring response from clients and b) the other scheduling next available job to respective client which executes that job. The issue here is ,I want these worker threads to write the status of their work in the UI(which comes under Main Thread). Also i need to write things in worker thread in a Data table and Rich Text Box in Main thread. But, I can't do so, since it has been blocked to access one thread's function or property directly from others. Is there any work around to do this?

I need to have this dialog shown on a new thread while having processing continue on the calling (UI in most cases) thread.

I need your help on the following. In debugging mode only the program is stopping to the following line "My.Forms.FormMain.HelpProviderMain.HelpNamespace = "Reports.chm"" with the following error ""An error occurred creating the form. See Exception.InnerException for details. The error is: Cross-thread operation not valid: Control 'FormSplash' accessed from a thread other than the thread it was created on.""
I noticed that when I am putting NONE in SPLASH screen option in the properties of the project, there is no problem.I am no familiar with treating that's why can you give me detail instruction how to overcome this annoying problem?
I am getting this exception: Cross-thread operation not valid: Control 'TextBoxOutput' accessed from a thread other than the thread it was created on. in a VB 2008 Windows Forms application that I havent specifically made multi-threaded. I have create a sub called Out() like this:
Private Sub Out(ByVal inString As String)
Me.TextBoxOutput.Text += (Me.TextBoxOutput.Text & inString & vbNewLine)
Me.TextBoxOutput.SelectionStart = Me.TextBoxOutput.Text.Length
Me.TextBoxOutput.ScrollToCaret()
End Sub
and I call it from various events to log messages I am getting from my pbx, which I use a third party open source dll to access. The interesting thing to me is that if I run the deployed application (ie, not in the VS IDE) I do not get any exceptions, it's only from within the IDE.if I add the line: Control.CheckForIllegalCrossThreadCalls = False to the form's constructor, the exceptions stop, but a) this seems like a hacky way to get around the issue and b) the application seems to hang sometimes when I have it set this way.

A BackgroundWorker thread can pass data to the primary thread. It does it via the RunWorkerCompleted and ProgressChanged events, which I believe run in the primary thread. I would like to encapsulate the BackgroundWorker control in a class so that I can instantiate it more than once. But I don't know how the BGW can then communicate with the primary thread. If the BGW control is within a class, it does not have access to the properties outside the class. In that case, how can the BGW pass data to the thread that instantiated it?

I am using Speech.Recognition.SpeechRecognizer and using it to open various dialog boxes. It works fine for the first few but on the third one when it calls the InitializeComponent in the Dialog's New, it throws the above error.
Anybody have any clue what causes this or how to fix it? The SpeechRecognizer seems to run on its own thread, so that seems to be at the root of the problem. If I open thedialog with a button click I don't get an error.
