[code]I send the Thread via Thread.Sleep to sleep mode when nothing happens here. Does this affect the TCPListener in his work somehow and what happens to an incomming connection while the Thread is in sleep-mode?
View 3 RepliesCurrently 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..
View 5 Repliesis there anyway to sleep a thread for a "tick". i.e. the tick in StopWatch.ElapsedTick. right now the best i could achieve is this thread.sleep(1). i need it faster

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?
I am trying to learn how to use Thread.Sleep properly as the main problem I am facing when using it is the fact that the window/form on run time would not move until after the sleep time has elapsed. Did I miss something? Below is a short example of what I want to achieve.

In a WinForms environment, I want to wait a specified amount of time before hiding a user control, but I don't want to freeze the entire UI. I can't kick off to another thread because I have to service the UI components on the thread they were created on. What is the cleanest way to do this?

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()
[code].....
i got inside
WebBrowser1_DocumentCompleted sub
the code below
WebBrowser1.Document.GetElementById("form").InvokeMember("click")
Call ProcessNextLine()
when it clicks this button it should load another page(Like log in)
Call ProcessNextLine()
takes next line from txt file (It's url) + navigate
but I want it to wait let the page load before calling "Call ProcessNextLine()" I tried System.Threading.Thread.Sleep not working?
I'm looking for a way to pause my application while in a loop without affecting the users ability to control the application, the sleep thread method makes it seem that the app is frozen.
View 2 RepliesI 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.

View 2 RepliesThe 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

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

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.
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.

In one application, I need use 4 simultaneous threads.When the threads finished, I need to update the text of a TextBox.So, I create 4 Textbox, and I wanna the threads change the text to FINISHED.Each thread change one distinct TB.I use this "example"

The problem is, I have an error in the red lines.The error is: INVALIDOPERATIONEXCEPTION "Cross-Thread operation not valid: Control tbPlaca1 Accessed from a thread other than the thread it was created on."I don't use cross threading. Each TB only was accessed for the correspondent thread, and for the "main program".
This is the error message I am getting:
"Cross-thread operation not valid: Control 'Panel1' accessed from a thread other than the thread it was created on." The reason I am getting this error is because I am opening up a new form and then calling these three things:
Panel1.Show()
Label1.Show()
Label2.Show()
why I get this error message because it doesn't occur normally if I open Form2 after closing Form1, it only occurs when I open Form2 after closing Form4.

I'm a little lost as to why the error is occuring or how to fix it. I've had to put the progress bar in a separate thread otherwise the GUI crashes

My understanding is that thread.join will suspend the execution of code on the calling thread until the spawned thread finishes or is aborted...
With that in mind, I tried this:
For i = 1 to 50
threads = New Thread(AddressOf test)
threads.IsBackground = True
threads.SetApartmentState(ApartmentState.STA)
[CODE]...
However, the rest of the code runs when the loop finishes, not waiting for all the spawned threads to finish. Since the rest of the code needs the threads to finish (otherwise the rest will error).
I have written an application that loads a form - frmCad as well as AutoCad. It does this via a class which detects when AutoCad quits.
Friend Class CadApp Private WithEvents AppObject As AcadApplication... Private Sub AppObject_BeginQuit(ByRef Cancel As Boolean) Handles AppObject.BeginQuit RaiseEvent Quit() End SubEnd Class
My main class loads frmCad as well as CadApp.
Public Class Cad Private WithEvents frmCad As CadForm Private WithEvents app As CadApp... Public Sub ShowForm() If frmCad Is Nothing Then frmCad = New CadForm frmCad.Visible = True End Sub... Private Sub app_Quit() Handles app.Quit frmCad.Dispose() frmCad = Nothing .... End Sub
When I debug the program, it stops at frmCad.Dispose()The program continues to execute, but all the code after it fails to work.Looking more carefully I get an error message which contains:-Cross-thread operation not valid: Control 'Autocad' accessed from a thread other than the thread it was created on.
My error:Cross-thread operation not valid: Control 'label2' accessed from a thread other than the thread it was created on. I want to be able to give my Public RunBot() sub access to edit Labels, buttons, etc without an error.
