i made an application for serial communication. for this application i need to set delay time. during this delay time i m doing some other task. So for those task i need to take back control from delay function, for this purpose i am unsing Doevents() function.Its work fine On other OS (XP, Windows7 32/64-bit). But Application.DoEvents() function halt and crash in windows vista.

I have a windows forms application written in VB.NET which scrapes information from serveral web pages (who doesn't right)? Anyway, I am having problem with one particular site where partway through the page navigation my application hangs. When I press pause (or break) in the debugger, it stops on a call to System.Windows.Forms.Application.DoEvents.
Resuming execution shows that it really is stuck on this line (it does not reach the next line of code). It also hangs about the same point each time I run it (at least its consistent). Since System.Windows.Forms.Application.DoEvents yields to other threads on the same processor and then resumes execution of the current thread, I think the problem is that some other thread is not behaving well (not returning from some event handling code). I thought Windows 7 was pre-emptive, which makes me
doubt that theory but I really don't know.
[Code]...
The program scrapes somewhere between 12 and 14 pages before it gets stuck on the call to DoEvents. Does anyone have a clue why this would happen? Why would any call to DoEvents hang?

We just spent 300 man-hours fixing a buggy application in the field. It all came down to calling Application.DoEvents (re-entrancy problem).This was not caught in design reviews, code reviews.The code was inserted two years ago with the first version; the application was always "flaky" but recent changes exposed the re-entrancy problems to a greater degree. This incident is the second time in our organization that Application.DoEvents caused failures and multi-man hours of debugging.It was discovered in this case by simply noticing the call,buried way down in a complex event handler for an asynchronous task.What do you suggest to prevent this issue from happening again:
Add checkin gates to source control?
Developer training?
Code Analysis rules (why is this not already a built-in rule?)
How to I enforce a coding practice?

I was wondering if there is a way to update Windows Vista via a Vb .Net application.
I wanted to use Vista's WUSA.EXE, but it seems that it is only able to do specific updates in a specific location, not all updates.
Info on WUSA.EXE: [URL]

I have an application that should run every time when boot windows(xp/vista). I currently added this app to all programs and startup. How can I do in code. Is the best way to use registry and put the key in HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoft Windows CurrentVersion Run. It is very important to start every time when windows start.

I am not very familiar with VB.NET so I don't know if this is possible.Some code I am working on is setting the properties of a very large class. In the setter of each property an event is raised to indicate that the class data has changed. An event handler then serializes the instance of the class to a database.Obviously I do not want this to happen after each property is set, so I need to either have a delay before saving, or something else.I am keeping a large list of instances in a cache implementation already, so one option would be to only process the cache every now and then and save all unsaved instances in cache to the database.So I tried to see if I could derive a class from Application (and override DoEvents), but it is NotInheritable, so no luck there.

My mdi VB.Net application performs a long operation on some data. Ideally I should use a separate thread to prevent the dreaded "Not Responding" message.My problem is if I use a separate thread users then have the ability to click on other controls in the application which can directly affect the operation my background thread is working on, creating an error.
Is there any way to prevent all the mdi windows, toolbars and other controls from receiving mouse clicks and keyboard input during my background thread's operation?
Or is there a way to clear the message que before performing a Application.DoEvents?

I have a unique situation in that I've developed a VB.NET application for AutoCAD. The way this works, you build your project into a dll and utilize AutoCAD API references when designing the project. From AutoCAD, a "Netload" command will load your dll into it's namespace to run. AutoCAD then essentially takes ownership of your application from here on out. The application is ran using a command defined in a method's attribute:
<CommandMethod("CommandNameForApp")>Public Sub MyCommand()
'Code Here
End Sub
Due to the heavy load of processing loops as it evaluates AutoCAD drawing data, processes this data, and generates many, many Excel reports, I've added a boolean property called Cancelled to my Progress class. When the user cancel's the process, this is seen by the process and further evaluation is ended and everything is cleaned up nicely. In order for this to work though, I have to implement Application.DoEvents. Without it, the Cancel feature will not work at all. With it, now instead of allowing the application to stay loaded, the Command method is fully closed.I have added a go-to point and simply verify that the application isn't closing because of a user-cancellation event. Here's what it looks like now:
<CommandMethod("WireShop")> Public Sub WireShopApplication()
'Initialize Configuration File Data
'Initializes ValidBlocks, MarginDistance, WindowDistance, and HelpFileName Properties
If ConfigurationFileInitialization() = False Then Exit Sub
[code].....
In my opinion, this seems a little hokey. However, I'm not that familiar with exactly what Application.DoEvents is doing in the background to understand how to "head it off at the pass".

I'm trying to automate the process of logging into twitterfeed.com, and filling in the information (the feed url and twitter username are pulled from textboxes). I had it mostly working the other day, even if it is a bit sloppy (the only way I could get one button to click is to send 50-some tabs). However, lately it seems to enter in a sort of loop. When I pause the program, Visual Studio indicates that it is the Application.DoEvents in the Private Sub "wait" that is still running even after it should be.

I'm running in to a problem that I was able to fix with Application.DoEvents, but don't want to leave that in because it might introduce all sorts of nasty problems. Background: Our app is primarily a desktop app that makes many calls to a web service. We control everything but changes to the overall system design are not going to be seriously considered. One of those calls, Calculate, is used very often, and occasionally can take a few minutes to process all the data to return valid results.

I have recently implemented to following code on a good deal of my forms.
Public Overrides Function InitializeLifetimeService() As Object
Return Nothing
End Function
It has worked great to solve some of my odd application hangs when the application has been running > 1 week.However, when the user closes the program I now get an Application Crash screen.how to stop this? how to put it back to "normal" with a global variable?
Public Overrides Function InitializeLifetimeService() As Object

I have a backup program that is currently running in our Corporate Environment on about 70 machines. A mixture of Laptops, Desktops and Windows (xp-32, vista-32, vista-64, 7-32-7-64) with no problems.
There is one exception, and it's the reason I'm posting here for assistance.On one machine that is a Dell Latitude running Windows 7 64 bit with .Net 4 Framework installed the console application will crash immediately before it starts Sub Main. It simply give the generic windows error "A problem caused the program to stop working correctly." with no option to see debug info.

I've got quite a big application and I've just started noticing that not all runtime errors cause an error.
for example if I call a function that executes an SQL query and the query string uses invalid syntax or refers to a field that doesn't exist then that would normally cause an error at runtime. But it doesn't - as soon as it hits the error the function simply returns to the caller.
If I enclose the code in a try/catch then the error is trapped but, while developing, I just want a good old runtime error but not getting one.

I created a windows application service that runs every 20 seconds to collect data from avaya cms and then dump it into a database. I did this using a timer. Since I had to have access to the clipboard to get the data and parse it, I had to be in STA. Unfortunately,just putting the STA before the Main() (or any other sub) did not keep the service in single thread mode. So I had to create a new thread and join it like so:
Public Class CMS
Protected Overrides Sub OnStart(ByVal args() As String)
Timer1.Enabled = True
Timer1.Start()

I have an application which has 2 WebBrowser controls inside(both with script errors suppressed if thal). The application involves navigating to the same url every 3-4 seconds roughly(when the browser is ready).After a while it will crash and tell me flash.ocx is missing and is not included with this version of windows(w7 and vista). I troubleshoot the problem and tells me to update flash which does no fix the problem. This crash only happens when I run the application outside of the IDE btw and I get no errors in the IDE.

I have developed a server-client application. The program has multiple users each uniquely login in with their credentials to the system. The problem arises when the application crashes, pc shuts/restarts, the user then cannot log in as it is showing is still logged in. This is true because the last code from the program, which logs out the users , is not run because the program crashed or the pc , that is intalled on, lost power. Is there a way to go around this problem. I cannot deploy the application until this is fixed. I have placed on application exit and on last form`s closing event to logout users. It still keeps them logged in in some cases as I already stated previously.

I work in IT in a firm that are rolling out a time management application on all PCs. In order to clock in/out a user must log into the application and click clock in/out. I want to build a very simple application that when a user goes to shut down or log out of their PC, a windows form will pop up asking them if they they want to clock out of the time management software (a reminder if they have forgotten to clock out and are heading home). On the form there will be two buttons, 'yes' and 'no'. If they click yes, the system shutdown or log off will be halted and the time management software application will open automatically. If they click no, the shutdown/logoff will proceed as normal. I just need to know what i need to do to get the system shutdown/logoff to stop until either button is pressed and to stop totally if the 'yes' button is pressed. I am able to get the Time Management software to run on a button click but just not able to halt the shutdown or logoff?

I am in the process of developing a messaging framework for a windows application that sends messages to a java application. To be precise when the win app wants to send a message it simply drops the message in a common database table which will be picked up by the java app. The windows application is deployed across 10 application servers (10 instances) over citrix for load balancing.Each instance of the application is capable of sending a message to the java application and each of these messages should have a unique id. From my end I need to make sure every message generated has to carry a unique id so that they can be identified when necessary. All the messages can be cleared every day or two.i am not quite sure about a best method of achieving this. Initially I wanted to create a static method that serves the next available id (incrementing the last id by 1). But this approach willn't guarantee unique number as the application starts only when at least one user is logged on. For e.g .On one server the app starts when a user logs in, he then sends a message and then the application stops when that user logs off. So when a next request for the app comes to that server a new instance will be started.
