Force A Progress Bar To Update During A Long-running Operation In Program?
Dec 19, 2010
I am running a test program for VB.NET, and it will simply crunch a million numbers in for loop. I've linked a variable implying the progress of the for loop with the progress bar, but it seems that when I run the program, the progress bar does not update itself. The bar itself has only value 0-100 as input (as stated in the document) and I've tested it without using the for loop, and it works.
I have written a program that searches a bunch of urls and pulls out information that I need. The program works to an extent. Everything codewise works, but it seems like I did a sloppy job of pulling the code together. After about 10 minutes of running, the program just becomes unresponsive and I have to close it through task manager. I've seen it range from 100k to 350k in memory useage. It also uses about 80%+ cpu usage at all times. I hope someone might be able to see something that I forgot or did wrong as the program is meant to run almost full time, executing parts of code on certain days/times.
Dim con As New SqlClient.SqlConnection Dim strCon As String = "Data Source=server;Initial Catalog=database;Integrated Security=True" con.ConnectionString = strCon
I am unable to crack this as the end user requested to show some kind of progress bar while running a long time method or an update statement. Kindly suggest me on this ASAP.
I have several reports that all merge onto the same datatable. The user can click several to run and then hit the 'find records' button to run them all simultaneously. Since they each take so long, I'd like to update the user on the status bar as each of these stored procedures is called successfully. However, when I call the procedure, i only get one update at the very end listing evertyhing.
I have a VB.NET 2010 app that uses a backgroundworker to process MS Word docs. All of the code does what it is supposed to do, except when my code calls ReportProgress(). The UI cannot process the ProgressChanged event fast enough before the values in the class that are passed are changed. I know this because I inserted a System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(100) line after each ReportProgress() call which allows time for the UI to make the updates properly. I guess I am looking for a better solution thanThread.Sleep(100) since this adds to the amount of time it takes to process all of the files. Here are some snippets of code that I am using:
I'm currently trying to write a football simulator but am having issues with the computer becoming unresponsive. There are long lines of code (several thousand lines) that are executed over and over as one run of the code is equivalent to one second of game time. While the game is setup to be like Football Manager where you watch the game live, there will also be cases where the entire game is simulated without you watching. When doing a full sim of a game, I just have a loop which executes the code block 7200 times (games go for two hour roughly).
At the moment this takes about a minute but even when I get it down to the desired 5-10 seconds or so, I dislike the fact that the computer becomes completely unresponsive during this time. In a round there are 9 games and you'll be simulating without watching 8 of them. You're looking at 1-2 minutes of simulation time or possibly more. I can't have a loading screen that long! How can I program the game so it runs these simulations yet the game still remains responsive? It'd be fine if the user could muck around in the menus and stuff while the simulation runs.
Can someone give me code to do the following.if the integer is 1-9 display a string 01,02,03 etc.. if 10 or over leave it as is.string display = yourInt.ToString("00");
i want to ask about progressbar i mke some looping, maybe long looping, can be 2000 record or maybe 20K record but i want the progressbar show the progress of that looping example = i have 20.000 record, when it loop on the 2.000 record, the progressbar automatically 10%, then if 2.200 then progressbar become 11%.. and the progressbar is dynamically changed within the record i have read some about BackGround worker, but i dont know the concept.so i count the record, and then set the maximum value for progressbar, and inside looping, i set the value 1 by 1 but, if i count it first, then it will 2 time loading and not as fast.
here is my simple code
Function nilaicari(ByVal sDir As String) As Integer If (countfolder(sDir) = 0) Then For Each d In Directory.GetFiles(sDir) z += 1
[code].....
it work fine, but i think it not effective because it process 2 time how can i make it loop, and then immediately make the progress of the looping ?
Everything in my program is working correctly so far. The only problem I have is trying to update my totals for the program. I need to show total sales, total pay, and total commission for the program by using the file and then summary key. How the program works is that you get a base pay of $250 and you get a commission rate of .15 if you reach 1000 sales. I have done running totals before but not for one with multiple functions.
Option Strict On Public Class CommissionForm Const QuotaInteger As Integer = 1000 Const BASEPAYInteger As Integer = 250 Const COMMISSIONRATEDecimal As Decimal = 0.15D [Code] ......
I am running several long synchronous operations in my VB.NET application that can take several minutes each to complete. During these operations the form will turn white and the title bar will show "Not Responding" and some users may close the application thinking it has stopped working when in fact it is still running.I am pretty sure I need to multithread to do this, but my initial efforts have been unsuccessful. What is the easiest way to refresh my form every couple of seconds or so while these long operations are running?
I am trying to update a textbox before the program has finished running. If you have a counter (z +=1) how to you get it to display each number to display before the program finishes running?
I have a varbinary(MAX) field in my MS SQL Server database. The SqlDataAdapter.Fill() method takes a relatively long time (in LAN). I want to show progress for the SqlDataAdapter.Fill() method itself, using a ProgressBar.
Note: I know how to deal with UI controls and how to implement multi-threading.
I have a server (server A) that has several public IP addresses. I am building a desktop application that will run on server A to fetch data from another server (server B) using the httpwebrequest class.
What I would like to do is be able to programatically direct the application to use a specific IP address from the one the server (A) has.
I'm going to design an Application (C# or VB.NET) which use .NET Framework to run for very long time. It may be restarted every year or even more...Is there anything (using special design patterns or so) which I must care about in designing "Long time running applications in .NET"?
I have a web request that can take 30-90 seconds to complete in some cases(most of the time it completed in 2-3). Currently, the software looks like it has hung if the request takes this long. I was thinking that I could use background worker to process the webrequest in a separate thread. However, The software must wait on the request to process before continuing. I know how to setup the background worker. What I am unsure about is how to handle waiting on the request to process.Do I need to create a timer to check for the results until the request times out or is processed?
I have a service ticket management application and users want to open several ticket details on a tab in a MDI frame. Since this application has to communicate through Web XML service with other company, it takes around 15 ~20 seconds. The users most complain is that he needs to wait until a saving process is done. Cursor is working while data is being saved and other can't be done
I am trying to implement a BGW and want to report progress to a progress bar for my TextFieldParser program, sometimes if your opening very large files it takes a while and I would like the user to be able to see the progress and have some interaction so they know the program is still running I am a little hung up on what to in the reportprogress
I have:
worker.ReportProgress(0, myReader.ReadFields())
and its not doing anything, I didnt expect it too since ReadFields is an array
parser Private Sub BackgroundWorker1_DoWork(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.ComponentModel.DoWorkEventArgs) Handles BackgroundWorker1.DoWork Dim worker As System.ComponentModel.BackgroundWorker = DirectCast(sender, System.ComponentModel.BackgroundWorker)
I am developing a solution in .Net utilising the VMWare Web Service API to create new isolated virtualised development environments. The front end will be web based. Requestors input details for the specific environment which will be persisted to SQL. So I need to write an engine of some sort to pull the data from SQL and work on the long running task of creating resource pools, switch port groups and cloning existing VM templates etc. As work progresses, events will be raised to write logs and update info back to SQL. This allows requestors to pull data back into a webpage to see how it's progressing or if it's completed.
The thing I am struggling with is how to engineer the engine which will exec the long running task of creating the environment. I cannot write a windows service (which I would like) as we work in a very secure environment and it's not possible (group policy etc). I could write a web service to execute the tasks, extending the httpRuntime executionTimeout to allow the task to complete. But I'm keen to hear what you guys think may be a better solution to use (based on .Net 3.5). The solution needs to be service oriented as we may be using it on other projects within our org. What about WWF, WCF? I have not used any of the newer technologies available since .Net 2.0 as we've only just been approved to move up from .Net 2.0.
I have written an application for a customer, and the application is run in various locations around the world. The company carefully controls the release of the software to the various buildings where it is being used, and because of this, I have made use of the "Check for updates" feature. The problem I am faced with, is that the folks using this software more often than not answers "NO" when prompted to download and install the latest version of the application. This is unacceptable and ultimately, we'll need to go in and have them manually install the software.
We don't publish updates to the software w/o meaning for them to be necessary, and I find it hard to believe that Microsoft doesn't recognize this sort of thing as being needed when they designed the update procedures. Alas, this seems to be the case.
Is it possible to use the strategy to force an application to update completely every s often to prevent piracy.I mean somenone manage to crack our click once application and make some modification.but inside the application there is some part of the code that make mandatory to update it.in each update all the application is replaced completely in this way the application on the user computer is a clean one and not the cracked one so the checks for seraching for serials numbers are reinstaed is it possibile to use this as technique to prevent piracy?
I'm trying to use ADO to create several tables at once, into MS Access. Is it possible to do multiple statements in the one operation?[code]This fails due to a "Syntax Error in CREATE TABLE statement", although each of the create statements work on their own perfectly. Is there a way of doing this sort of thing? There will also be statements to add constraints, add indexing, etc., and I'd really like to be able to do it so that I don't have to split up the string into separate parts.
I need to force a DataGridView cell to update the underlying DataTable.I fill a DataTable using my adapters Fill method, then set that DataTable as my DataGridView's datasource. Lets say one of my DataGridView columns is a CheckBox column.If I left-click a checkbox in the first row and then left click a different row in the DataGridView the underlying DataTable_RowChanged event fires, which tells me the first edit I did has gone to the underlying DataTable.If I left-click the checkbox in a row and then right-click the column header to display my context menu the DataTable_ RowChanged event doesn't fire because the DataGridView row is still in edit mode.I've tried Me.DataGridView.EndEdit(),but that doesn't cause my RowChanged event to fire,I need to ensure my underlying DataTable matches the data in the DataGridView, because I am getting a subset of my original table.[code]
I have a DataGridView bound to a DataView. The DGV is setup for FullRowSelect and is ReadOnly. The first column contains a CheckBox to show that the Row is ready for processing. The user double-clicks on the row and the box is checked in the CellDoubleClick event. This works great.
I have a RadioButton on the page to hide any checked items. This allows the user to only have to look at the work that needs to be done. I use a filter on the DataView to make this happen. At the end of the CellDoubleClick, I call my ApplyFilter method, but the current row still shows up.
I got around this once before by writing some code to see if I needed to move forward or backward a row and also compared if there were any rows available, etc.
It seems to me that this relates to the value not being persisted back to the DataSet until the CurrentRow is changed in the DGV. Is there a way to force this data back into the DataSet without having to programatically change the value directly in the DataSet?
I have a combobox where the SelectedValue on the combo is bound to a property on a business object.Everything works fine, but the property that's bound to the SelectedValue on the combo only gets updated when the focus leaves the control. I understand that the property doesn't get updated until the control is validated (loses focus), but I need it to update the datasource as soon as the dropdown is closed.I know I could probably leave focus from the control on the DropDownClosed event but I'd prefer something a little less kludgy.What's the best way to immediately update my datasource when the dropdown is closed?
May I know how can I put a progress bar to make it keep running when the function FnProcessApproval() is running and stop when the messagebox is display?
I have a label inside an update panel which I wouldl ike to use as a status bar.Basically the user clicks a button which executes a main fucntion that performs a series of tasks. I'd like to inform the user as to the state of the function as it progresses e.g.:
I've tried updating the updatepanel directly from the function but it only updates the panel at the end of function (stage 4) and shows "Done!" (which I understand is how it should work).I've been looking into timers and threads to try and update the panel separate to the main function?
