As the question states, can a shared method of an object be multithreaded? I don't quite having threading down in my skillset, otherwise I would test myself. On the other hand, I am involved in designing class that could be part of a multithreaded application in VB.Net.

It works, when I make getBar methods public, but I don't want to expose these unneccessarily. Why I can't call private shared methods from a public one in the same class is over my head. I'm using .net framework 4.0 in a web application.
Given in the following language specification, for me at least, calling Db.Foobar() [In the following code] does not indeed call off to the Shared Constructors of the base classes. I am curious as to a) is this my own fault for doing something wrong or b) is this an error in the language specification[code]...
View 2 RepliesI have a class that inherits from a base class (this contains a lot of common db related stuff amongst other things and is marked as MustInherit). I want to write a shared method in which I call a base class method, however the compiler gives me the message 'MyBase is only valid within an instance method'. This shared method is a logging method and will be used a lot within the app, I'm trying to avoid having to instantiate an object each time I want to call it.
Is it possible to access the base class methods from a shared method?
I have a utility class that creates & returns a db connection:
Public Shared Function GetConnection() as OracleConnection
dim c as New OracleConnection()
... set connection string...
c.Open()
Return c
End Function
Is there any risk of concurrent calls returning the same connection? The connection string enables pooling.
I have a new developer that is calling Showdialog (in VB.NET) on a Windows Forms form without first creating an instance of the form.How is this possible? I don't see a shared method for ShowDialog...
I'm not crazy about this approach either as it seems to me that the dialog will not be disposed until the application exits.What am I missing? Is this a new best practice?OK, Form2 is just a blank form.Public Class Form1 Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object,
ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Form2.ShowDialog()
End Sub
End Class
I'm creating a Shared (static) method in ASP.NET MVC so it can be used by any controller in my project. This static method needs to generate a URL. I think I need to use System.Web.Mvc.UrlHelper, but I can't figure out how to call it from within a static method.The constructor seems to want a RequestContext.

View 1 RepliesI have been thrown in at the deep end with an existing VB.NET project at work. I have never used VB.NET before so I am struggling a little. Does anyone know how to solve the following.I need to pass an instance to client side and then pass it to a shared method in order to access instance methods from when the shared method.The starting point is a fileupload control within the HTML of my Contacts.aspx file:
<asp:FileUpload ID="DocUpload1" runat="server" onchange="CallMe();" />
The onchange event calls a javascript method, see below, this uses AJAX PageMethods to called a Shared method in my code behind This is the script code which is in my Contact.aspx file

If anyone knows the solution please could they update the code as I probably won't be able to understand if you just give a description. I just hope I am along the right tracks.
I have a base class with several derived classes. I want all of my derived classes to have the same Public Shared (static) method with their own implementation. How do I do this? Is it even possible?

Dim ass as Assembly = Assembly.LoadFile("sample.dll")
Now, I want to call the shared method using the class name.
use of the shared function, which returns a reference to a datatable to the calling code. While there a probably many debates as to the preferred use of ADO.NET objects, my question is about the Shared Method aspect. Note that the dataTable is declared within the Shared Function, so it seems to me you get a new one every time, yes?
Public Shared Function MyData() As DataTable
Dim ReturnData As New DataTable
'A silly example of retreiving some data into a datatable:
Using cn As New SqlClient.SqlConnection("SomeCOnnectionString")

Is it possible to prohibit an instance of a class from calling a shared/static method?
For example:
I want to allow this:
ClassName.MethodOne()
But I want to disallow this:
Dim A As New ClassName
A.MethodOne()
The reason this is desirable is that in this case it is semantically confusing if an instance can call the method.
There is a popup window which is rendered using xslt (no aspx page) on click of button, during this window load and close events I need to manipulate the text exist in the textarea of popup window. Having said I need to store the list words (key,value) for validation and spell check so I just declared a dictionary/hashtable object in common class (globals.vb) where i could store (add and retain values until I click close window, there could be couple of in turn calls to other methods of popup window) and manipulate as expected but whenever I reset the dictionary/hashtable (objDic.clear()) on popup load and close, it resets the concurrent users dictionary also.
Note :
1.Dictionary is declared as Public in Public Module (Globals.vb).
2.Dictionary manipulation happens inside the shared method (that is in turn calls to shared method of popup events).
Can we override a Public Shared method in derived class? If not why?
View 2 Replies(I tried with this question but this code isolates the problem better. I have this code:

Inside my .aspx I have some JSON code that looks like this:
[Code]....
Basically what I'm doing is pulling text from two labels on one page, and sending them to another page by calling the "doIt" function which looks like this:
[Code]....
Just so I'm clear, the "doIt" function and the JSON call are on two separate web forms. My problem is that with the "doIt" function being Shared, I can't access any global variables of the class. And if I remove the Shared, my JSON doesn't execute.
Will the list in this shared method keep its state throughout the life of the method? Or will a new list be created every time this method is called?

If I have a very large function/sub in a class that is an instance method (i.e., not Shared), do I gain or lose anything by moving that to a shared method and then declaring a small stub method for the instance use?
I.e., I go from this:
Public Sub MyBigMethod(ByVal Foobar As String)
If String.IsNullOrWhitespace(Foobar) Then
Throw New ArgumentNullException("Foobar")
End If
[Code] .....
My thinking is I save on memory size per each instance of the object. Because each instance only has to lug around the stub method which handles calling the shared version and passing an instance of itself to the shared method so that it can do whatever it needs to do. But I'll wager that I sacrifice a very teensy amount of speed because of the added function call overhead.
At the moment I'm trying to create a kind of model in vb.net which can be used to create/fetch database entrys.
I created a main class Model with a shared function to fetch the datasets, e.g. Model.find(). Now I'd like to create Classes which inherit the main Model-Class, e.g. a separate one for users: UserModel.find() => "SELECT * FROM users".
What I need now is to find a way to tell the Class which table it should use. I thought about an abstract String "table" which is a constant in each "child-model", but how could this be implemented as it's not possible to override shared members?
Edit: Maybe this will make it a little clearer what I mean:
Public Class Model
Public Shared _controller As Controller
Public Shared table As String
[Code].....
So I want a shared method which finds all database entries and gives back an array of instances of its own type, e.g. Model(). That's why I wanted to keep the find-method shared and not bound to an instance.
Code:
Public Class SendPings
Shared Sub New()
AddHandler Post.Saved, AddressOf Post_Saved[code].....
I get a error" Method 'Private Shared Sub Ping(item As BlogEngine.Core.IPublishable, itemUrl As System.Uri)' does not have a signature compatible with delegate 'Delegate Sub WaitCallback(state As Object)'.
I've taken over the maintenance of the website (ASP.NET VB) and on one particular page I noticed the below code
Inherits System.Web.UI.Page
Public Shared UserNumber As String
Private Sub Page_Init(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Init
[Code]....
My question is whether the variable UserNumber can be accessed or changed by any other user than the current one?
(Edit: to clarify, my main goal is concurrency, but not necessarily for multi-core machines)
I'm fairly new to all concepts on concurrency, but I figured out I needed to have parallel drawing routines, for a number of reasons:
I wanted to draw different portions of a graphic separatedly (background refreshed less often than foreground, kept on a buffer). I wanted control about priority (More priority to UI responsiveness than drawing a complex graph). I wanted to have per-frame drawing calculations multithreaded. I wanted to offer cancelling for complex on-buffer drawing routines.
However, being such a beginner, my code soon looked like a mess and refactoring or bug-fixing became so awkward that I decided I need to play more with it before doing anything serious.
So, I'd like to know how to make clean, easy to mantain .NET multithreaded code that makes sense when I look at it after waking up the next day. The bigest issue I had was structuring the application so all parts talk to each other in a smart (as opposed to awkward and hacky) way.
I have a preference for sources that I can digest in my free time (e.g., not a 500+ pages treatise on concurrency) and for C#/VB.NET, up to the latest version (since I see there have been advances). Basically I want something straight to the point so I can get started by playing with the concepts on my toy projects.
I don't want it to be MultiThreaded. i read some tutorials and have a good idea. but unfortuantely all the tutorials on the web write code without explaining. so is anyone here has a good knowledge with Chat application ? I know it's about sockets and stuff but i just need an explaination with code ;)
View 5 RepliesI am using Visual Basic 2008 Express Edition and I want to create a multithreaded application.
View 13 RepliesI have a background thread that waits for data to come in. When data arrives, it fires off a call to the GUI thread.All works just peachy, except if there's ever a run-time exception in the GUI thread. If that happens, the debugger always halts at the point in the worker thread that called the GUI thread. It never shows the proper line that the error occured on.How do I get the debugger to stop at the error in the GUI thread?
Here's the pertinent code from the worker thread:
Code:
Public NotInheritable Class UIThreadMarshal
Private Shared _MainForm As Form = Nothing
Public Shared WriteOnly Property MainForm() As Form

After trying to make an application multithreaded, almost towards the end of the processing of 10,000 records, I get a webexception - operation timeout.Now it seems to process around 8000 records just fine, for each record it is also doing some business logic and with it, performing a call to a webservice.
without threading, its fine - no problems. with threading, we hit the issue.so there are 10,000 records to go through. this is of course slow when done in sync mode (Single threading) but much faster when placing items in the threadpool and waiting until completion.
im not sure exactly why the problem happens. how should I debug this when multithreading? its just odd that for around 3/4 of records, the calls are doing very well, then on the last bit to go, it bombs out.
again - no issues when single threading.update: seems to be after around 1000 records that have been processed that it seems to happen.the application calls out to an internal webservice which then does the direct callout to the "outside world" webservice. The internal webservice does some caching but shouldnt have any effect really.
The outside service it is calling is httpBinding. ReceiveTimeout is set to 00:10:00 (10 minutes) and bypassProxyOnLocal="false"im still not quite understanding why it would timeout after 1000 records because it seems to process the others just fine and does come back (or so it seems) when its making a call to the service
I'm trying to build a multithreaded app but I couldnt find anything on google on how to catch the value that the lambda function returns.
ThreadPool.QueueUserWorkItem(New WaitCallback(Function() As Integer
Value += 1
Return Value
End Function))
In a multithreaded application. I have a bunch of function that loop through a collection to read the information. I also have a bunch of function that modifies that same collection.
I'm looking for a way to isolate all the read and the write together. I don't want a write to be done while a read is in progress. I was thinking of using SyncLock on the collection object but this will block multiple read trying to work in parallel.
