Executing Delegate In Existing Thread?
Aug 5, 2009
I have a GUI which executes on the GUI-thread. Further I have another thrad which does video processing using DirectShow (this is COM).
- Now I want to execute a function on the same thread as where the videoprocessing is executing. This is initiated by the GUI-thread. Touching the COM-referenced object goes wrong if a execute the function from another thread (I understand that). When a call the function from the same thread everything goes fine. But to do this I have the poll some flag-bits in the mainloop, and that is not a 'pretty' solution...
All discussions on the internet are about how change the GUI from a different thread.
I have tried several things:
1) Invoke the function using a delegate. This doesn't wordt, since the function is executed in the GUI thread. (checked bu ThreadID's)
2) BeginInvoke the function using a delegate. May be .net executes the function in a original thread where the object has been created. This does also not work: .net used random threads (probaby from the threadpool)
3) ISynchronizeInvoke, Threading.SynchronizationContext and some other features seems only to work on the GUI thread only...
The question: Is there a way to Post, Send of Invoke a delegate on the specific thread (for example by a reference to this thread or threadID)

I am trying to call a method that started on a background thread on the UI thread calling BeginInvoke and passing in a delegate as follows:
Dispatcher.BeginInvoke(Function() UpdateApplicationDataUI())
to call this method:
Private Sub UpdateApplicationDataUI()
...
End Sub
However, I get an error in the call to BeginInvoke (the UpdateApplicationDataUI portion of the delegate is stating "Expression does not produce a value").
Me.Dispatcher.BeginInvoke(Function() New Action(AddressOf UpdateApplicationDataUI))

So, I'm having troubles implementing a separate thread. This is because I have a simple class, and in it I start a new thread. So, as it is not any form, I haven't found any way to make it call the function in the UI Thread.
So, I cannot use the Invoke method. Is there any way to call a function from another thread?

i have a background thread when it is done doing its task it notifies the main thread via a delegate sub it seems if the main thread is "busy" then the background thread hangs waiting for the main thread. if this is normal, which i assume it is my background thread, starts another thread, and this 2nd background thread makes the delegate call is this bad practice?

It seems that there is a glitch in Vb, While having some tasks ( Thread ) queued using Tasks if you try to use Invoke, the thread do not resume when the delegate returns.If BeginInvoke is used, it works but the problem is that it become impossible to execute a delegate synchronously.This does force the use of the AutoResetEvent to control the thread.The problem comes when the thread execute some code in a other classes, using a single AutoResetEvent within many classes just give a very dirty code.

Disclaimer: I know that Thread.Abort is evil. I'm using it as a last resort since some I/O functions (e.g., File.Exists when used on a non-existing network share) block for a large amout of time and do not allow you to specify a timeout.
Question: Is it possible to Abort (as in Thread.Abort) a worker thread started using Delegate.BeginInvoke or do I have to do the Thread handling myself?

What is the Invoke syntax to marshall data from a background thread receive callback method to a function on the UI Thread?(Form1).
Public Class Form1
MyDelegate = New DisplayData(AddressOf DisplayData)
Private Sub Form1_Load()
MyDelegate = New DisplayData(AddressOf DisplayData)

We have an ASP.NET application that queues some of its long-running operations (generating reports, for example) into the ThreadPool using System.Threading.ThreadPool.QueueUserWorkItem.
We run the ASP.Net application pool using a specific domain service account so that it can access remote resources, including files and databases. When the execution starts in the ThreadPool, the user identity of the thread is set to Network Service, which doesn't allow us to access the remote resources.The web application can be accessed by users in different countries simultaneously and the format of the data that we provide to each user is based on their culture settings (using the standard globalization settings in web.config). When the queued thread is started, it has also lost this information and reverts to the default culture for the operating system.
Now, we can probably get around most of these issues by capturing the current user identity and culture in a state object and passing that to the background worker, then impersonate the user and set the culture on the thread, but this seems like a very "unclean" way to resolve this issue.[code]...

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 have an application which is working. Basically you put in the PC name/ip and it returns the logged on user. I am happy with this part. There is also an option where the program can read a text file of PC's. It will then create another text file with the name of the logged on user next to each pc. This part works, however the program is non-responsive during this time (there is a progress bar, so you can tell it hasn't stalled). I would like to multi-thread this part of the app if possible, Just starting the related sub procedure as a different thread would be a great start - I'd like to start a new thread for each pc in the list to be scanned (if this is recommended) however I imagine this might be slighly complicated...The part I'm referring to is the Sub Procedure "ReadFile". This then calls the Sub Procedure "CompareUserList".

from the documentation we have this: Multicast Delegate: Represents a multicast delegate; that is, a delegate that can have more than one element in its invocation list.
so am i right to say that Multicast delegate is no different from a normal delegate other than the fact that it has arguments. so System.Action is a 'normal' delegate whereas System.Action(T)(Byval obj as T) is a multicast delegate?

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"
Dim Terminados As Integer = 0
Private Sub frmEnviarMensagem_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
Timer1.Enabled = True
Timer1.Start()
[code]....
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.

Would anyone be able to help me here please. I'm fairly new to VB.net and threading so im just trying to figure out what is happening.When I debug this I am getting the error thread operation not valid: Control 'ProgressBar1' accessed from a thread other than the thread it was created on.
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.

Mine application is not for enterprise purpose. its just my class project, and it works fine even if i put application working in background. System works ok. I dont know how to correct this error.As i dont have that much knowlege of threads.
So please guide me how to fix this in correct way otherwise i am force to go for bad programming practice

I am trying to write a VB.NET alternative to a C# anonymous function.I wish to call Threading.SynchronizationContext.Current.Send which expects a delegate of type Threading.SendOrPostCallback to be passed to it. The background is here, but because I wish to both pass in a string to MessageBox.Show and also capture the DialogResult I need to define another delegate within. I am struggling with the VB.NET syntax, both from the traditional delegate style, and lambda functions.My go at the traditional syntax is below, but I have gut feeling it should be much simpler than this:
Private Sub CollectMesssageBoxResultFromUserAsDelegate(ByVal messageToShow As String, ByRef wasCanceled As Boolean)
wasCanceled = False

I'm creating a Client Server application which involves theServer running some scripts in clients and getting back results in an automated way. In Server, other than Main thread, i have 2 worker threads, a) one monitoring response from clients and b) the other scheduling next available job to respective client which executes that job. The issue here is ,I want these worker threads to write the status of their work in the UI(which comes under Main Thread). Also i need to write things in worker thread in a Data table and Rich Text Box in Main thread. But, I can't do so, since it has been blocked to access one thread's function or property directly from others. Is there any work around to do this?

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.
