I have this code obtaining data from a sensor that is sending a string that contains 4 numbers separated by a tab and terminated by an end of line/ I am trying to use an asynchronous callback to get the data over TCP. That problem is that the callback function is not grabbing the complete string. Sometimes it will, other times it gets half in one retrieve and half in another. I need the callback to hold off until it gets a newline character.
Code:
Public Sub readVaisala()
Dim ip As String = "192.168.1.30"
Dim portNumber As Integer = 23
Dim time As Int32 = Now.Second * 1000 + Now.Millisecond

I have a C++ dll that contains a callback. The callback has one parameter that is passed in and one parameter that is passed out. The parameter that is passed from C++ is a variant. So, we are going from a variant in C++ to an object in VB.NET. The function works. However, It seems that there is a memory leak on the VB.Net side. This must be a Marshaling issue. I have tried to use the MarshalAs Functions, but to no avail.

there is error when i use callback function A callback was made on a garbage collected delegate of type 'skynet1!skynet1.Form1+myCallBack::Invoke'. This may cause application crashes, corruption and data loss. When passing delegates to unmanaged code, they must be kept alive by the managed application until it is guaranteed that they will never be called.
View 6 RepliesI am writing classes in VB.Net (both managed). The main class "A" creates an instance of "B". Class "B" must call a method of Class "A". I need to know two things (syntax, etc...):
1. How does class "A" tell class "B" what method to call?
2. How does class "B" call the method?
The method must pass back an array of Shorts (in this particular example), either as a return value, or as a ByRef argument.I don't want to use an event if I don't have to. The execution is timing critical. (I assume event handling involves a lot of overhead by the operating system, but I may be wrong.)

I am a relative newcomer to Windows programming and VB.net. What we are trying to do is call a function in an existing, 3rd party COM dll. This function requires a callback parameter, whose type is an interface also defined in the dll.In our VB.net application, we have added the dll as a COM reference, and created a class that implements the interface in the DLL. We then send an object of that type as the callback parameter. This compiles fine. However, when we run the application, we receive an error stating that the program is unable to cast the object from our existing type to the interface type.
I suspect that there is a simple fix, but so far, my efforts to find a solution have come up short. If anyone could point me in the right direction,
I have a bunch of operations that need to be executed simultaneously. For this I'm using the thread pool to execute the tasks. I'd like to know if it's possible to consume some sort of Async Callback (similar to BackgroundWorker.DoWorkComplete) when each thread is finished. The reasoning behind this is that I have a windows service running that uses IPC to update a GUI and I need to know the time at which each specific thread finishes I've used background workers to do a set of tasks and they work perfectly, however, they take longer than I would like. I've timed the execution on my BGW method for a designated number of said tasks and it took 27 seconds, and the same set of tasks takes 4 seconds using the threadpool method. I've also tried using managed threads, to the same effect as the background workers.

I'm trying to convert C++ API to VB.Net, but this function is too hard and i don't know how make it work.
Here is the API doc for this function:
void RemoteDllSetReceiver(void *inst, on_received_buffer_t received_buf_cb);
Sets a callback function to receive notifications from the DLL. The prototype of the callback is:
typedef bool (*on_received_buffer_t)(void* inst, const unsigned char *buffer, unsigned int size);
Where inst is the pointer originally passed to RemoteDllSetReceiver buffer & size contain the notification text as defined in the Remote Protocol. Note: notifications may arrive in different threads (e.g. network, timer, audio).
I can't imagine what i mus do with on_received_buffer_t, must it be a delegate? Like you can read, this functions returns notifications from the DLL like connection status, user id...
I've used the async classes in the .NET framework several times but I've never tried to do something like that myself - I mean I've used background threads and made them invoke other methods on the UI thread loads of times but they have always been hard coded method names, not something where you can specify what method is invoked when the background thread is finished.
I'm writing the data access layer for my current project and I want to have all of the methods be asynchronous, so these methods in the DAL need to be able to 'call back' any method that is specified, rather than a specific method in the same project as I would normally do. This is how I have done it, and it seems to work, but I'm not sure that this is the best way or even close... Here is the signature of public method in my DAL that my programs call:

I have been reading the async design patterns on MSDN and the general idea makes sense to me but in practice it is proving to be more difficult. I am working on a project utilizing VMWARE VIX.
HTML Code: [url]. Each function such as connecting to a host server, retrieving properties, etc. can be executed in two different ways.
Connecting to a host using a blocking Wait:
Code:
Dim m_lib As New VixLib
Dim m_hostJob As VixCOM.IJob
[CODE]...
Code:
Dim m_lib As New VixLib
Dim m_hostJob As VixCOM.IJob
dim m_callback as VixCOM.ICallback
[CODE]...
The problem with the VIX SDK is that sometimes the functions never return, hanging the application. dblock.
HTML Code:[URL] came up with a library that specifies a timeout value. When the timeout runs out the method aborts and returns regardless whether it finished or not.
The callback method is an active wait where the code continues to execute. What I want to implement is a blocking wait with a timeout. The ICallback interface has one sub OnVixEvent(IJob,Integer,IVixHandle). This method is fired at least twice, first when some progress is posted and second when it is complete. The first call to this method can be one second after registering the callback or 30 seconds, so I can not rely on this method to block the main thread. how to create some kind of async result class that would block the main thread from executing until either a timer runs out or the OnVixEvent method returns an Operation Complete signal that also implements ICallback.
I am creating a class ("Class B") which is used by another class ("Class A") which instantiates it in VB.NET 3.5.I would like Class B to read a value assigned to one of its properties by Class A every time an event happens in Class B.However, I would like this property value to be dynamically assigned to the property by Class A when the event is fired in Class B.I was thinking about somehow creating a delegate function in Class A that is linked to the property in Class B so that when the event is fired in Class B it would eventually invoke the delegate in Class A so that it returns a value to Class B.I've been reading around delegates (that's how I arrived at the idea), but I am stuck on how to code this up - could someone please help with some skeleton code?

I am using a function from a dll in unmanaged code that requires a callback to my managed code in Visual Basic 2010. The callback is asynchronous and is called continuously over the life of the application. What's the best way to protect the callback function from the garbage collector? Right now it is being collected after several dozen calls from the dll.

I create a UserControl (TableWithFilter.xaml) with a dependency property (source). The UserControl is a Table with a source property for the different items. I created the XAML and set the source property via the XAML Binding. So far so good.
But if the value of the dependency property is changed, the defined callback method is not called. Therefore I cannot update the entries in my table. Has anyone an idea why the callback method is not called?
Here is the definition of my property in the class "TableWithFilter":
Public Shared ReadOnly SourceProperty As DependencyProperty = _
DependencyProperty.Register("Source", GetType(List(Of TableViewItem)), GetType(TableWithFilter), _
[Code]....
If the attribute "ContentList" is changed I expet that the "ChangeSource" method in the TableWithFilder class is called. But this is not the case. After I changed the ContentList attribute, I Raise the following Event:
RaiseEvent PropertyChanged(Me, New PropertyChangedEventArgs("ContentList"))

I am exposing some ISO C++ data types to .Net (mono on Linux to be precise).For the purpose of brevity, I shall refer to C# in my question, although my question relates to all of the .Net languages (with C# and VB.Net being my target languages). So far, I have worked out how to expose the ISO C++ data types in C# class(es) for use in mono -The only problem so far is how to deal with the C++ callbacks. In .Net languages (C# and Vb.Net), I believe 'delegates' are the callback equivalent.
Sticking with C# for now, can anyone recommend a way that I can register the C# delegate functions with my ISO C++ code.The ISO C++ code is a notification library, and I want to be able to "push" the notifications to the mono framework (i.e. C# delegates in this case).My underlying assumption is that the mechanism/steps to implement this would be the same for the .Net languages - I'll just have to code the actual delegates in the .Net language of choice - is that assumption correct?Last but not the least, is the question of thread saftey. The underlying ISO C++ code that I am exposing to .Net (mono to be more specific), is both re-ntrant and thread safe - do I have to do anything "extra" to call .Net delegate from my ISO C++ code?
This seems super weird to me. I have a callback handler done in VB which works fine with this code:

I've got a VSTO3 Word addin that makes use of custom ribbons and taskbars, etc.
Now, Office 2010 comes along and there's this nifty new BACKSTAGE concept, which I'd like to hook into. However, from what I can tell, doing it with VSTO requires Vsto 4, which requires VS2010, which isn't an option.
Soooo. I started looking online and have found all sorts of examples of, essentially, piggybacking the backstage XML onto whatever Ribbon xml I define and returning that as the value of GetCustomUI. All good, except if you're using VSTO3, there doesn't appear to be any way to "hook" into the call chain for GetCustomUI. It's all "automagically" handled for you by the OfficeRibbon and RibbonManage classes.
I know I +COULD+ convert the addin to a shared addin and just implement the IDTExtensibility interfaces directly. I'd lose all the vsto goodness (yeah, that's debatable) but I'd gain access to the GetCustomUI call.
Anyone every tried to get access to GetCustomUI +WHILE+ using VSTO though? Is it even possible?
I thought I could create a wrapper class for RibbonManager, but lo, MS has gone and done what looks to be some supreme violation of encapsulation. The RibbonManager implements the nice and easy IRibbonExtensibility interface, and yet, where that interface is passed around, they actually check the passed object to be sure it's of the actual type RibbonManager! Ugh, so much for any kind of wrapper.
