I have a progressbar on my form that is not getting updated.
When the Send Email button is clicked I do this:
Public Sub SendMail()
If CheckSettings() = False Then Exit Sub

My BackgroundWorker works perfectly in my main form frmMain. But when I run the ReportProgress method in another module, I get exception "This BackgroundWorker states that it doesn't report progress. Modify WorkerReportsProgress to state that it does report progress." This IS set to report progress; this works fine when run the same way in the main module.Basically, from a module called by my BackgroundWorker, I want to show progress on my main form.How can I fix this? The only idea I have is to move the code from the module into my main form, but this seems a backward step, which would involve extra work. Am hoping there are easier ways!
Calling code in class frmMain:
Friend WithEvents BackgroundWorker As New System.ComponentModel.BackgroundWorker
Private Sub btnTest_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnTest.Click
' Specify that we do NOT want the background operation to allow cancellation
[code]....
Code which generates the exception in separate module Invoices:
Public Function MyTest() As Boolean
frmMain.BackgroundWorker.ReportProgress(0)
End Function
Am using VB.NET in VS 2010, with .NET 3.5.
I have a long running process running in a backgroundworker, and want it to report progress to the user, and update a checked listbox as the items are discovered. The reportprogress is called, and the statements executed (placing a break in the reportprogress routine), I can see the control valuse change, but the change is not reflected in the dialog. Here is the reportprogress routine I'm using:
Private Sub BackgroundWorker2_ProgressChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object,
ByVal e As System.ComponentModel.ProgressChangedEventArgs) Handles BackgroundWorker2.ProgressChanged
Me.newlabel.ForeColor = Color.Cyan

I have a Worker.cs in a ZScreenLib DLL that does the following: 1. takes ZScreenGUI.cs (a Windows Form) as an argument 2. creates a Background Worker object and does everything 3. reports progress to the ZScreenGUI form via BackgroundWorker.ReportProgressThe user can create as many instances as possible of Worker.cs class and do the background worker tasks Now I need to create another Windows form called ZScreenCLI.cs and wish to make use of this Worker.cs class because ZScreenCLI and ZScreenGUI are pretty much the same but ZScreenCLI has much less features compared to ZScreenGUI. My question is, how do you manage to report progress to ZScreenCLI? The ReportProgress methods are tied with the controls in ZScreenGUI form. Obviously there is a problem with the concept I am using

I've got a form that has a ProgressBar on it. The Style is set to Marquee. In the Form.Shown event handler, I call BackgroundWorker. RunWorkerAsync(). In the old version, while this is occurring in the background, the ProgressBar is scrolling, which is exactly what I want.I copied over not only the code from within the file (i.e., the logic code) but also the code from the designer file. So, from what I can tell, there should be NOTHING different between the two files. However, in the new version, the marquee scroll doesn't occur.

I have a class that downloads a specific file from the net.This class uses a BackgroundWorker. I tried to implement kleinma's Download Files From Web With Progressbar [URL]../showthread.php?t=396260), but I'm having difficulties making it work. I'm including a test project, so if someone is willing to take a look at it, it would be great .
The part I'm having trouble with is updating the progressbar and progress label. The errormessage I receive is in Norwegian, but it has something to do with threads. I suppose I should use Invoke or something, but I don't know where to start..
how to safely load a datagridview via a backgroundworker while showing progressbar feedback ? My data is coming from an access mdb.
View 4 RepliesI place some code below to simplify the process.
1) I am trying to use background worker to download a large file and update a progress bar to reflect the changes as the large 5GB file is being downloaded, and also update percentage completed to the label.text(lblInfo).
2) As I was goggling I came across some info that a web client is needed to calculate the maximum size of the file and divide by 100 and you can stream it down with the web client. Reading it is one thing, implementing it is another as I spent week trying to get it to work.

I am trying to get a progress bar to update on my Form while waiting for a process to complete but could not get my progressbar control to update.
First of, I have tried to fix the problem for a day and a half now looking at various codes and examples in the forums but I'm afraid I probably do not have the necessary VB skills yet to troubleshoot my own code. I believe I will be able to eventually fix this after I am done with my VB book
I've attached the relevant part of my code below and the problem is that I can see my DoWork event firing off and changing the time and percentage that I want to pass on to ReportProgress() and the ProgressChanged handler. However, the ProgressChanged handler is not raised until after my Do Loop is done.
Imports System.ComponentModel

Private WithEvents TestWorker As System.ComponentModel.BackgroundWorker

Again, I can see the ProgressChange fire but only after my work (diagnostics) is complete so my progress bar is either 0% or 100%. In Dowork, I can verify that the progtimepercentage variable is indeed changing and ReportProgress is called but ProgressChanged is not being raised until after the job I wanted is done.
I have finally figured out how to download a file with background worker and downloader. Now the form does not freeze.. I have only one problem left now... How do I get the progress bar to increment in tandem with the data flow? I have listed my full code below.

I am using a monthcalendar inside of a panel. when the user changes the "showweeknumbers" of the calendar I need to move some label to the right of the calendar, but I also need to resize the panel. The problem comes into play when the user hides the weeknumbers, the monthcalendar resize event fires and the labels move, but the panel resize causes the month calendar to fire the resize event again, making the labels all out of wack...

I have tried to debug this and can see that the query is correct, that the values that are being passed to the sql server are correct but it doesnt look like my code is firing off the Exceptionquery Sub. I thought to call a sub all you had to enter was the name of the sub such as this line:

I have also verified that the mapping of the buttonclick event is mapped correctly. I have other subs that I am calling in almost the same way and those work.
