I have a form with 3 background workers. On the click of a button all three start async. Once they all finish my program stops responding. If I run one at a time I encounter the same error.
'Background worker 1
Disableform(Me)
Try
Dim source As String = _Topsource("[URL]" & gamertag.Text)
Dim statstbl As String = source.Remove(0, source.IndexOf("<div class=""statWrap"">"))

I've been working on a program that generates a batch file, then when you press a button, it executes that batch file. There are multiple batch files attached to each item in the list box.
[code]...
The only thing that it does when I press the button, is starts the batch file, then goes to function searchtitle, which executes the batch file again when it finds out it didn't work properly.The button text doesn't change, none of the items are being added to my first list box, and I can't do anything to the window after pressing the button. It constantly opens the batch file every 5 seconds or so.
I have an aboutbox1 and form1..I also have a button. When I click the button it runs the backgroundworker. My background worker then opens form1.My backgroundworker doesnt just open it, it does alot of other stuff so don't ask why im doing it like that.My problem:When the background worker opens form1, form1 is not responding.
View 3 RepliesI have the following problem. I have a worker in VB .net (2010) which runs a shell-program. The shell program is a service and output stuff like:
Server initializing...
Server opening port...
more info...
I am able to 'catch' the output of the shell and add it to a textbox (using set text function). And I am able to Cancel the worker by clicking on a stopbutton, however when there is no more output by the shell I cannot stop the worker anymore. At least I suspect that's the case. I've tried checking for endofstream (commented section) but that doesn't work. I've also tried to same code with some test text in stead of 'clsProcess.StandardOutput.ReadLine' and that also works. So I came to the conclusion it must have something to do with clsProcess.StandardOutput.ReadLine being at the end?
Try
clsProcess.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = False
clsProcess.StartInfo.RedirectStandardOutput = True
clsProcess.StartInfo.RedirectStandardError = True
clsProcess.StartInfo.FileName = serverpath + config_executable

My application randomly freezes and stops responding for some reason. A window comes up and says "svhost.exe not responding". My application is big, and I have no idea where to start or how to figure out why it's freezing. I wish I could give you details, but the only thing I can tell you is that my program runs for a random time between 5-20 seconds, then freezes
View 12 RepliesI recently got a new computer with vista. I was working on a Visual Basic project on my old computer, which had xp, and transferred that project to my new computer. A lot of the time, however, when I try to work on my project on my new computer, an error message pops up and says Visual Basic is not responding and then Visual Basic shuts down. Sometimes if I restart Visual Basic it works ok, but most of the time, the same error message occurs. This doesn't allow me to work on my project when I want to. I have checked to see that my Visual Basic is all up to date and it is. Does this have to do with Vista?

Imports System.ComponentModel.BackgroundWorker

And I get the following error for the DoWork worker event:
Handles clause requires a WithEvents variable defined in the containing type or one of its base types.
It seems like it's missing something in the Event declaration, but can't find it.
I'm uploading an image to url... etc. The trouble is my application stops responding for 5-10 seconds while the image is uploading. I want to use multi-threading to stop it doing that but I'm confused with the whole way to use controls with backgroundworker. [code] I guess its the textbox which is causing the problem.
View 1 RepliesI am using query from a SQLite database as the AutocompleteCustomSource for a ComboBox. Also, I want to load data in separate thread. My LoadData method works fine when called directly, but it fails when it is called from the BackgroundWorker thread.

I'm writing an application in Visual Basic Express 2008, part of the function being to walk through a folder structure starting from a user specified folder. In my research, I found this thing called a background worker which seemed an appropriate tool to use given the potential size of a target folder structure. I successfully installed the two examples from the library here, and believe I understand the principles involved. Even so, having tried to build this feature into my application, it seems as though it is not working as expected, and, as predicted, debugging a multi-threaded application is a pain in the extremity.
I have this fragment under my "start" button click event -
HomeSource.Enabled = False

im thinking just because an app has been sent ton system tray does not mean its a "back ground worker"

View 31 RepliesI have a background worker that used to fire its RunworkerCompleted event when its DoWork routine finished querying a database and writing its output to a file. The bg worker was in a class called Query, which was called from another class called Trigger. A new Trigger Class was created for each monitored event. In this class, there was a structure which stored the config of each Trigger. When this event was triggered (set to TRUE) a new query class is created and it is passed the Trigger class. When the database query, file writing was done, the query class and all its rsources were diposed from the RunWorkerCompleted EventRecently I changed the application so that a new trigger class is not created for each monitored event. There is a single instance of the class but new config structure for each event. When a particular event is trigger, jsut the config structure is passed to a new query class and the sma ething is done in the query class. I just noticed now that the RunWorkerCompleted event is not being fired anymore.
View 5 RepliesI have an issue that I can't seem to find a straight answer for anywhere... I have a For loop that sends a file name to a background worker that contains some long running code and I can't find a way for the parent thread to wait for the background worker to finish...

I have run into this before, When I develop a form to use a background worker to fill tableadapters, the background worker does fine on machines running Vista, but if you run the same thread on an XP machine, the thread gets hung.All the thread is doing is filling a table adapter like this.[code]Why would this run on a Vista machine and not an XP machine?
View 1 RepliesI have created a background worker to go and run a pretty long task that includes creating more threads which will read from a file of urls and crawl each. I tried following it through debugging and found that the background process ends prematurely for no apparent reason.

This first bit of code is the loop to input from file and this is what the background worker does. The next bit of code is where the background worker creates threads to work all the 'landingPages'. After about 10 threads are created the background worker exits this sub and skips the file input loop and exits the program.
Try
For Each landingPage As String In landingPages
pgbar.Timer1.Stop()
If VisitedPages.Contains(landingPage) Then

Also my main thread runs a forms from where this background is called to run but the main thread is supposed to wait for the background process to end unless the user selects another option from the main form.
I've been experimenting with background worker to maintain responsiveness and to allow the UI to update while things are being done in the background.I've been having problems getting the background worker to do anything with form controls.For simplicity lets say I have form1 and form2.The background worker is on form1Initially I couldnt get it to edit controls on form1 but by using [code]However the problem came when I tried to get the same background worker to update controls on form2, in this case a text box. With the above code there is no error but it also does not update the text box.Is there an easy way to give a background worker access to multiple forms.

Is there a way to pause a background worker? What I need to do is pause a background worker when it encounters a file error, wait for a few seconds, and then carry on.

View 3 RepliesI have a function it is called ReLoad()
How can i run it as a background worker? so it can run in the background where it does not effect my current running function - basicly so the form will not freeze at all.
I am developing a VB application along with MS Access... When I initially load my form I need to put my application to sleep for 3 seconds or else data wont load properly. So for this 3 seconds I would like to show a progress bar displaying a message "Please wait" I tried using background worker but did not find any success... I have gone through many tutorials but for some reason could not accomplish the task.

View 2 RepliesMy VB application is behaving strangley. I have form with fairly large number of controls. I am using case against radio buttons. after curtain number of buttons, it stops responding to more radio buttons.
Then I tried to split controls in to 2 form but now my form.showdialog() too now working properly. It takes new from names but show the old form when running.
I am trying to code a simple background workers class without needing to use the backgroundworker object on a form. This would allow me to use a background worker in any class without writing much additional code. Is it possible to pass in the name of a sub at runtime instead of hard-coding it? To do this I would replace onDoWork and onProgressChanged below and use (Byval onWorkSub as SomeKindOfObject?, Byval onProgressChangedSub as SomeKindOfObject?) instead. [code]
View 1 RepliesI just can't see what I am doing wrong here, since I have implemented a progress bar into my background worker it no longer only runs the once (in some cases I have seen the coding within the foor loop run 6 times)

ive developed my app and am im trying to improve its use ability. Ive created a dvd management app for myself and i have a function that retrieves all the data for all the movies displayed in my listview. It works fine but the interface hangs for the entire time.Ive decided to use a background worker so i can browse other movies with all the data is being fetched.Im having silly problems with getting the index value for my listview when im using the .DoWork()
ive had these errors:
1. Cross-thread operation not valid: Control 'ListView1' accessed from a thread other than the thread it was created on.
2. nvalidArgument=Value of '1' is not valid for 'index'. Parameter name: index
the function works a dream whenvnot being called inside the doWork()
