View 2 RepliesBasic function - enter 5-10 urls. Download all web pages using multi threads and then process it. Then in the end, the text from all threads should end up in a richtextbox. It can't be done using any of my googly searches so i thought about asking this :
how would you update text in a richtextbox from a different thread?
I am being able to download and process web pages. But can't add it to richtextbox.
Yesterday I was working with a RichTextBox and decided to add some formatting to my logging (I've never formatted text in one before!! O_O) ...not quite what I expected! Now, normally I work with plain unformatted text and I have an imposed limit on the number of characters I allow to be displayed in the GUI log. So I did my usual thing: After the length exceeds my cap I remove all the oldest lines from the log and set the most recent log info as the .Text property of the RTB... FAIL! All formatting was lost and things were ugly looking again. Sigh.

I am having trouble accessing the main thread (my form) when calling thread is running in a class (or module). I have no problem to manipulate a data (in a thread) from a form, the textbox can be updated using delegate and invokerequired but it doesn't seem as easy when the thread that processes a variable is handled by a thread that is running in a class.

my application has "picked up" the old style button design. In Vista the buttons have a slight shadow / 3d effect, however, my application appears not be using the default style and instead applying the older XP, Win98 typ appearance. At first it didnt bother me, however, not its annoying and rather than rip all my code out and apply it to a new project, i would prefer to remove the offending code call.
Its a long shot, but i thought i would see if anyone here knew what might be causing it?
Ok, I'm new so go easy on me. I don't know if this is in the right section, so if it's not, sorry.

I am new to VB.net and I am trying to work out an exercise from a book I am reading on VB. Basically I am storing some book information in a hashtable using a class called Book to store the book information. I am trying to work out my Search and Display All procedures. My Search will work for the first value in my arraylist but not for any other values. I even added the ISBN to my book class to try and use this as a search point. The ISBN is used to pull the item from the hashtable as well.
In the main code I am having problems with the ButtonSearch and ButtonAll.

I have a program that runs for some time and I would like to update the user on its progress. The rest of the GUI is updated using Delegates and Invokes and such (Java is Soooo much cleaner in this regard - everything is thread safe!!), but there is no invoke method for the progress bar. How can I use a delegate to update the progress bar when there is no invoke to invoke!!
View 1 RepliesI have a small problem that I am sure is due mostly to my inexperience with threading. I have used simple entirely self-contained threads before, but not to a great extent. I understand the basic laws that surround them, such as how a thread cannot access another thread's member directly, and must use delegates.

My routine to check for updates is run as a separate process. Exiting the application is required to update, so a dialog asks the user, when an update is found, if they want to exit now. f they do, the code (from the update thread) calls Application.Exit().However, if the FormClosed event of any form that needs to be closed needs to access its controls, an invalid cross-thread operation is detected (which sounds pretty logical).
View 1 RepliesHow do run processes synchronously from a thread or backgroundworker thread? Is it even possible?We have program that allows the user to download several files from a remote server, compress them, and then email the files.It has several long running processes that must run in order. We want these to run on a separate thread so as not to make the form unresponsive. Does a way exist to do this? We attempted a rather clumsy way of approaching this problem by using background worker threads. When each thread is completed and returned back to RunWorkerCompleted, we start another background worker thread and repeat the the next process. It works somewhat but seems to take a lot of resources to run.

With the intention of creating a program to interface with a serial port device, I recently started learning vb.net. To keep the structure neat the vb code has been split into two places; the first is the code behind for initialising, clicking buttons etc., whilst the second is for managing the comm port. Respectively, these are named 'MainWindow.xaml.vb' and 'ComPortManager.vb'.
In 'comPortManager.vb':
Dim RXArray(2047) As Char ' Array to hold received characters
Dim RXCnt As Integer ' Received character count

Im working on a program ( vb 2005 CE framework ). I have mainly two threads, the main one and another one I use it for a different thing.When I tried to update the UI this exception was thrown : Control.Invoke must be used to interact with controls created on a separate thread.well !I have tried to use the INVOKE, but it wouldn't work. this is where I get the error :
Public Sub PaintKeys()

The usual VB way to handle a computationally heavy task is to put it in a background worker thread, while the main thread keeps handling the UI.Say for whatever reason I needed to do this the other way around: the main thread doing the grunt work and the background one updating the UI.Here's what I have so far. The only problem is, while the UI window (Form1) does get redrawn, you can't interact with it, not even move or resize it (the mouse cursor turns to hourglass and won't click).

The client will call it like this (actually in unmanaged c++ over COM but you get the picture):

below is a small part of my asynchronous TCP connection code. When I connect I'm passing a ListViewItem as Object parameter. I'd like to update the ListViewItem once the connection has been established or an error occurs. ServerConnect runs on a separate thread, because it's an asynchronous connection, so I can't update the ListViewItem directly.
Does anybody know how to update the ListViewItem?
I looked at jmcilhinney's asynchronous TCP example in the Codebank forum, but it confused me. I don't know which parts I need and which parts I don't need.
::edit::
One more thing. I also need to update the ListViewItem in the Read sub, but I'm passing "buffer" as Object, so how would I update the ListViewItem there?

I'm not sure exactly how to describe this. In VB6, there was a Timer command.

This allowed me to update form variables while the timing loop was executing. How can I do something similar in .NET?[code]...

I have a web app which displays a list of emails that need to be sent for the day. The user can select what emails to send, then click a button to generate them. When they click the Send button, a process gets started on another thread which generates the emails, then cleans up after itself by deleting a temp folder. Once the process is finished, the Repeater is rebound to update the User's view and remove the emails that have just been sent so they don't get sent again.
My problem is that when I delete the temp folder from my 2nd thread, the UI doesn't update with the new Repeater data. It updates correctly if I just delete the files in the folder instead of the folder itself, and it also updates correctly if I run the delete the folder on the original thread instead of the 2nd one.
New Thread code
Dim t as Thread = New Thread(New ThreadStart(AddressOf EmailLetters))
t.Start()
Delete folder code
Dim fs = Server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
fs.DeleteFolder(Server.MapPath(".") + " mpEmailFiles")
Why won't the UI update to show the new repeater values when I delete a folder on another thread?
When you click the button, a thread gets started and a javascript load script starts executing which does a PostBack every 10 seconds. Each postback checks if the thread is complete and updates the Status label showing the result. If I delete a folder from within the background thread, the final update to the status label never occurs. If I remove the DeleteFolder call, it does.
