A non-UI thread in my prog needs to obtain data from a UI listview control. To prevent cross-thread errors I use the following, but it freezes the prog (probably because the "Else" part is never called).What am I doing wrong?

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))
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)

How do I dynamically call a function with delegates by passing a string to a background thread in VB.NET?
Currently my code is this
Public Sub invertImageBK(ByVal image As Bitmap)
Dim snxl As System.ComponentModel.BackgroundWorker = createBW()
snxl.RunWorkerAsync(New ImageProperties(image.Clone, "invertImage", Nothing))

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.
I have done a program using vb2005 to display reading from my microcontroller bs2 board but have encountered some problems. My code are as follows.

l_Users.Items.Add(SocketID)

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.
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.

i used it and it works fine then. but as it is mentioned its not a good practice to use it. So what should i do? is it ok if i use this as i am not able to use correct practice. 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

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.
View 1 RepliesI have a program that if user presses a key(while the program isn't focused),it presses some keys(some kind of macro to aid gamers).The program works,but I cannot stop the background thread.I use "t.abort()" (t is the name of background thread) but it keeps working(even when I close all forms) and at TaskManager "keypresser.exe" is still there.[code]

I have a a main thread and another background thread that does some work (see below).I want to do something within my worker thread and then wait until some other event happens in the main thread before continuing. How do I do this? I thought I could use ManualResetEvent but I can't get it to work properly. I'm a bit confused about the Set, Reset, WaitOne methods and where exactly I should call them from.When the worker thread is suspended it shouldn't affect the main thread.

I am a novice in Threads, but I want to know how to order thread execution in my scenario, and is the following :
UI Thread : Windows Form Background
Thread : Kind of print daemon
implemented with recursive methods
IO Operation : a StreamWriter that do
the job of File.AppendText()
When I execute my main app.exe, sometimes it launches the Windows Forms and the execution process in the task manager (app.exe), in some opportunities its just launches the execution process in background. How can I determine the behavior of launching UI, I have to establish a priority or somewhat else? Code: I'm using framework 2.0 and any answers could be writted in C# or Vb.Net.
I am in the planning stages for developing a VB.Net class (let's call it OpDAq) that is to obtain data via an API provided by a COM object (AxInterop.TWSLib) that makes requests to an Internet server. The API provides data via events. Class OpDAq should do its work on a separate thread; it takes several seconds (sometimes up to ~10) to collect the desired data. One should be able to create several instances of OpDAq in order to collect data in parallel. The class would be given a reference to the TWSLib object when its constructor is called, as well as several parameters. There needs to be a way for the class to provide results, preferably in the form of a generic list.
View 6 RepliesI'm looking for a configurable way to run some code on a background thread and I'm not too sure what the "best practice" would be. Currently I have something along the lines of:

I have a BackgroundWorkerThread which I want to use serially.So some of the code in the UI thread will look like this [code]But of course I can't do the second RunWorkerAsync until the UI thread has seen the RunWorkerCompleted event indicating that the "Sequences" work has been completed (or somehow knows that the "Sequences" work has been completed).So I need some sort of synchronization between the two RunWorkerAsync calls, but whatever I use cannot hang up the UI thread because it has to be able to handle ProgressChanged events.Maybe the RunWorkerCompleted event could make the second call but I really don't like that structure.So how do I delay the second call to RunWorkerAsync (for the "Templates" work) until the background thread has completed the "Sequences" work?

View 13 RepliesI'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?
View 8 RepliesPreface: 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.
