Creating A Delay In A Loop Without Thread.Sleep()?

Apr 22, 2012

i have a web browser control, that refreshes pages on a loop after calling a few subs, i need to create a delay in the loop so that the page has a chance to refresh and redisplay before it loops again. i tried the code below, but it seemed to freeze the entire form, elements including, so the web browser didnt refresh before the loop, so how could i create a non form-freezing delay for a loop?

For count = 1 To 20
WebBrowser1.Navigate("URL")
simcheckcheck()

Use "System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(15)" As The Delay Code But Freeze The Form

Jul 19, 2011

I've been trying to use "System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(15)" as the delay code but if freeze the form. I used this "Location.Refresh()" where location is the name of the form, but it didn't give me what I need. This code is going to work on a ProgressBar while typing and the value of the progress bar change while typing. The progress bar jumps to the new value and I want it to move. So I thought about puting it in a "For ... Loop" but the whole form freezes.

VS 2010 - Using System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(5000) To Let My App Pause/sleep For Some Time

May 25, 2010

Currently I'm using System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(5000) to let my app pause/sleep for some time. This works great but I can't open my app anymore when it's sleeping and it uses about 25% of my CPU. I guess there must be a better way to do this. I also tried using a timer but that didn't work out to well for me..

Delay Loops Without Using (Sleep Or Timer)

Dec 20, 2009

Is there is way to delay loops without using (Sleep or timer) in VB

Because on java you cant do something like this

For(i = 0; i< 100; i++) {
Event.Wait(3000)
Animate(i);
}

I dont want to use sleep because your control is dead while is at sleep And using timer waste memory and process timer plus more coding is needed!

Non-locking Sleep/waitfor/delay Function For ASP.NET?

Apr 27, 2011

I am writing an ASP.NET class that interfaces with an external application. The flow of the transaction between the web server and this application is as follows:My object writes a file to a directory.The outside application detects this file and processes it. This can take between 1-5 seconds.The outside application writes a response file to the same directory.My object detects the response file and parses the results.The 1-5 seconds it can take for the external application to process my file is my problem. The most straightforward way to wait for the file seems to be something like this:

Do While Not File.Exists(f)
Thread.Sleep(500)
Loop

Of course, Thread.Sleep() completely locks up the rest of my website until the outside application processes the file. Clearly, this is not a workable solution.How can I effectively "wait" for my file to be processed without locking up the rest of my website?

VS 2010 Pause / Delay Code (can't Use Sleep Function)

After the 7th line I need a pause until a submit button pops up on the screen. The submit button is hidden until the getelementbyid.focus is run. I cant use webbrowser_documentcompleted because the submit only unhides itself, and I cant use Sleep() because that just stalls the whole block.

Inconsistant Thread Sleep Timer?

Apr 5, 2011

Ok so I have been playing with VB.net and brainstorming ways to accomplish launching a thread reliably every 60 seconds reguardless of how long the prior thread took to do it's work. Here is my question. Given the following code:

[Code]...

My assumption for this output would be that the time between each line would have to be exactly 5000 milliseconds plus the time it takes to execute the rest of the loop which could vary given that there could be an unknown delay due to disk IO. My problem is that looking at lines 10 and 11 and subtracting gives me a difference of 4,958 milliseconds. So my question is what the heck is going on there? How is it possible to get a difference of less than 5000 milliseconds when I have told the thread to sleep for 5000 milliseconds before completing the process. What am I missing?

Moving A Form When Using Thread.Sleep()

Using The Stopwatch To Record The Length Of A Thread.sleep Event?

Nov 10, 2011

I have a control thread that starts up a secondary thread and when the secondary thread finishes, the control thread restarts the secondary thread. On this secondary thread, I use a stopwatch to record a thread.sleep event. Is there any reason, under any circumstance, why the stopwatch elapsed millisecond value (499) would be 1ms less than the sleep time (500 ms)This doesn't happen all the time or even a lot, I'm just curious if there is any physical reason for this to happen.

Wpf - For Each Loop Doesn't Sleep

Nov 1, 2011

I have a For..Each loop which loops trough all grid's rectangles and changes the fill of them randomly. I change the fill with a color animation. Here's my code:

Dim rand as new random
Dim changeColor As New Animation.ColorAnimation
changeColor.Duration = TimeSpan.FromSeconds(0.5)

[code]....

The problem is that the loop doesn't sleep. I want to trigger the animation, then wait until the rectangle fill is changed and then continue with the rest, but it seems that all of the rectangles fill are changed in the same time.

Thread.Sleep Unresponsive - Allow People To Have Multiple ITunes Libraries On One Computer

Jul 20, 2010

The coding that I have a problem with might make people think that I am creating some malware or something stupid. So the project I am doing is associated with iTunes. iTunes allows people to have one library. There is another way, but it is very confusing to some people, and very unreliable. So my project is that I will allow people to have multiple iTunes libraries on one computer. So the problem is this. In order to have an option to choose your library, I gotta make sure that iTunes is not running. So this is the script:

Code:
Private Sub CheckAndCloseiTunes()
retry:
'Custom class that includes the function to safely close iTunes

[CODE]...

So when I use the Threading.Thread.Sleep(2000) code, the form becomes unresponsive.

.net - Yield/Sleep/throttle Another Thread While It Is Executing A Method In An External Library - Specifically Jurassic?

Jun 25, 2012

I am using a .Net JavaScript implementation called Jurassic to run user-controlled scripts within my .Net 4 WPF application coded in VB.Net - C# answers are fine. The script engine runs on its own thread and provides an API for the script to interact with my application. This all works really nicely until a user executes a script that causes an infinite loop and takes out a core of the processor.

[Code]...

The reason I care about keeping the thread alive is because the user who wrote the script and the user who is running it may not be the same, and I want to keep the experience as smooth as possible the the user running the thread. There also might be legitimate situations in which a single JavaScript function would run for a long time and I do not want to kill that, I just want to stop being allowed to hog the resources.

Solutions that involve stopping the thread from slowing down the system but that still show high CPU usage are not preferable because I do not want the user to wrongly feel that the application is resource intensive.

Creating A Progress Bar That Runs On Another Thread While Keeping Calculation In Main Thread

Preface: I know this is an unusual/improper way to do this. I can do this with a "real" ShowDialog(), background worker/thread, and so on. I am trying to do specifically what I describe here, even if it is ugly. If this is impossible for X reason, I have created a fancy progress dialog for some of our long running operations. I need to have this dialog shown on a new thread while having processing continue on the calling (UI in most cases) thread.
