I have some code in c#
BeginInvoke(new MethodInvoker( delegate() {myAppMethod_Tick(sender, e); }));
Now, When I tried to convert that code to vb.net I have below..
BeginInvoke(New MethodInvoker(Function() Do myAppMethod_Tick(sender, e) End Function))
But it does not compile.. What's problem for it?
Because my c# application works ok without any problem..
Code:
Public Class SendPings
Shared Sub New()
AddHandler Post.Saved, AddressOf Post_Saved[code].....
I get a error" Method 'Private Shared Sub Ping(item As BlogEngine.Core.IPublishable, itemUrl As System.Uri)' does not have a signature compatible with delegate 'Delegate Sub WaitCallback(state As Object)'.
Consider a MyForm class that contains a shadowed implementation of Show(). It also contains a CreateForm() method, which accepts an instance of the form and calls the shadowed sub:

I'm trying to figure out if it is possible to instantiate and invoke a delegate by name, rather than explicitly. I think the code below explains it fairly well. I want to accept a function name and then instantiate the delegate based on that. In the example I use a select case, but I want to eliminate that and just use the methodName argument itself.
Private Delegate Sub myDelegate()
Private Sub myDelegate_Implementation1()
'Some code
End Sub
Private Sub myDelegate_Implementation2()

I understand that .NET is multi-threaded and that is a good thing, but I continually run into issues when I have a background worker for example that is updating some control on my form and I have to do:[code] My question is why is this not built into the framework - surely if I am trying to update a DataGridView it should be intelligent enough to know when the update is from another thread and it could do all the above itself?
View 3 RepliesI'm working with the DevExpress XtraGrid control.I have a routine that goes thru and adds all the controls on the current form dynamically, and launches on a seperate thread the routine for a given control to initialize it to the value that will be displayed to the end-user. Some of the controls are displaying calculated values, and take some time to return their values, so that's why we are doing it on a seperate thread.
[Code]...
I'm using a similar snippet of code for any control properties that have to be updated, and all work fine. On the above code when the actual Invoke is called, it APPEARS that the thread just ends and never calls the delegate, and doesn't return to finish either.
I have a few textbox for data display and RS232 communication in my application. After I send characters on RS232, I want text boxes display feedback characters from RS232 receive. So in SerialPort_DataReceived() i was told to use Invoke to display received characters on TextBox1, TexBox2.how to define delegate for TextBox1 and call Invoke()?
View 9 RepliesI'm hacking away at some code which seems to have been started, at least in theory, as an MVVM project in Expression Blend, by my predecessor at this company.
I've got a thread running in the background, which is running some operations on items as they happen. In order to prevent any clashes, I've also got that thread running any operations my users call for.
Once those operations are completed, I'd like to bring up a MessageBox to give a summary of the user-initiated operations, but now that they're running off in their own thread, the finishedProcessing event handler is now running on the background thread instead of the interface thread and it's causing my MessageBoxes to appear non-modally.
Back in the WinForms days, I'd have handled that using InvokeRequired, Invoke and a Delegate. I've read that this has been replaced by something called "Dispatcher", but the ViewModel class I'm using doesn't seem to have a Dispatcher object.
The "thisViewModel" class I'm using inherits a class called "WorkspaceViewModel", which inherits "ViewModelBase", both of which look generated to me...
where I can link up to this "Dispatcher" from here?
What is the Invoke syntax to marshall data from a background thread receive callback method to a function on the UI Thread?(Form1).

I got 2 classes in a form, and I would like to pass a value from a textbox to the other class, so I decided to use Deligate.
Below is the code.
Public Delegate Sub delPassSize(ByVal text As TextBox)
'To get size from Class Calculate(Class 2)
Public Sub GetSize(ByVal txtForm1 As TextBox)
[code]....
and the error message is 'cls.Getsize is a delegate type and requires a single 'addressof' expression as the only argument to the constructor.'

I have been using a pretty slick generic invoke method for UI updating from background threads. I forget where I copied it from (converted it to VB.NET from C#), but here it is: Public Sub InvokeControl(Of T As Control)(ByVal Control As t, ByVal Action As Action(Of t))

1. On the main form a scanner class is instantiated that (in the scanner's constructor) sets the scanner settings (baud rate, parity, etc) and opens the scanner for use
2. A barcode is scanned (via a scanner connected to the device in a seral port) while on the main form
3. In the scanner class, the DataRecieved event gets the needed info from the scanned code.
4. Then that info is passed back to the main form to a method RunCommandCode (which takes the scanned info as an argument)
5. On the main form the RunCommandCode calls another method CommandCodeHandler, passing the scanned info again
6. In the CommandCodeHandler sub a method is called in a Utils class (SetSelectedTab), which interacts with the form itself (determines how many tabs exist on a tab control), which is the reason for the invoke in the first place
So, before I figured out I needed to use the Invoke method (and, more specifically, that the scanner was working in a different thread), I was getting an error in step 6 on the line that got the TabControl.TabPages.Count.

I am implementing a custom iDispatchLLInvoke handler for VB.NET - some of this is working.So Far - I have been able to intercept and provide custom handling of simple functions and property calls - but I am stuck when I try to set a property and get an error "Invalid Pointer (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80004003 (E_Pointer))".
I am using the new .NET 4.0 ICustomQueryInterface to do this. In Summary - I intercept and provide my own implementation of iDispatch - I load the dispIDs on the first call - and return a the dispID for each call within GetIDsOfNames - this ID is than passed to Invoke where reflection is used to get the value and return the result.
When I attempt to set a property - a call is made to GetIDsofNames and I return a valid dispID - the application than crashes with the error above and no call is made to Invoke.As a result - I am assuming that the issue relates to my interface definition been wrong becase the code never get's back to .NET code - see below for this code:
<ComImport(), Guid("00020400-0000-0000-C000-000000000046"), InterfaceTypeAttribute(ComInterfaceType.InterfaceIsIUnknown)> _

may i know how to implement a delegate method into my project> currently i am using the serial port polling method by using a timer to read from the serial port, but now i am changing the method to delegate part.i have the code for the delegate part updating to the text box control but how do i modify it to update the mainform with my program codes.
The part for the delegate code is here

Using VB.NET, is there a way to pass a reference argument when invoking a function in a dll.
Suppose I want to pass arg2 as a reference argument, how would I do that?
method.Invoke(obj, New [Object]() {arg1, arg2, arg3})
In other words I want to point arg2 to something else within the invoked function.
I want to invoke a method on a class that i have a reference to. The method that I want to call has a custom attributes. Currently I can find this attributes and call the property of my class Attribute.
is there a way to invoke that method ?
PS/ The project is written in vbnet, but I think the solution is the same in c#.
I'm trying to make this code with reflection since I want it to manage Technician and other types too.

Is it possible to somehow invoke foo("SomeAwesomeString") from VBScript directly (i.e., without it having to launch an additional process)?
The use case is this: I am trying to write an 'extension' application for hMailServer (hMS), but hMS can only invoke VBscript scripts when an event happened. I can have the VBscript launch an .exe every time the event happened, but the processing involve opening and closing a connection to a back-end database. So, every invocation is very expensive. I had been thinking that I can reduce the expense by having a Service to maintain the connection (i.e., opening it once and re-open it if the connection closed). Plus by implementing the processing as background worker threads will result in a non-blocking processing + less process-starting overhead.
This is the code i have so far (no i didn't write it all by my self took help from net) but i am unable to understand why i am getting this error

I have a COM component that I want to call using late-binding from VB.NET (using Primary Interop Assembly - PIA method). My IDL signature for the COM method looks like:
HRESULT Send([in]BSTR bstrRequestData,
[out]VARIANT *pvbstrResponseData,
[out]VARIANT *pvnExtCompCode,
[out,retval]int *pnCompletionCode);
So 2 'ByRef' parameters in VB.NET lingo, and a return value. I attempt to invoke this method like so:
Dim parameters(2) As Object
parameters(0) = "data"
parameters(1) = New Object()
parameters(2) = New Object()
Dim p As New ParameterModifier(3)
[Code] .....
This fails spectactularly with an exception: {"Invalid callee. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80020010 (DISP_E_BADCALLEE))"}
I assume this means I'm doing something wrong in my parameterMods array. Because if I comment out setting any value of the ParameterMods array to 'True' - it works. It of course doesnt update the parameters that are [out] parameters and so it's not working as intended. Is there something else to consider since the method also has a return value? The MSDN example pretty much does exactly what I am doing, with the exception that example did not have a return value.

I just have a short question about adding an destination methode as variable argument into my calling methode.
I want to send a "TextChanged" event to a special textbox. But I want to have a "variable" in my methode to add the handler to the textbox. Because it is possible to change the textbox and then I can change the handler where the "Changed Events" should be routed to.
can you replace the questionmarks below??

Dim TextBox2 as TextBox
