Multithreading In A Class
Apr 13, 2009
I have a class with a background worker in it that does some tasks on a separate thread. I want to fire some events from the background worker thread to the 'main thread' of the class, so that when using this class your not obliged to go make invoke calls for every event handler your using.I'm at a loss of how to do this though. When having a similar problem in a form of usercontrol I always use Me.Invoke, but this method is not present in a class inheriting system.object.

Example:
Two files - TestClass.vb, myForm.vb
TestClass.vb looks as follows:
Imports System.Threading
Public Class TestClass
Private myClassThread As New Thread(AddressOf StartMyClassThread)
[code]....
The result:Application runs, no errors or exceptions.Displayed is the listbox and the Start button.I press the start button and a msgbox says "Not Invoked" as expected and upon clicking OK to that msgbox "Start Button Pressed" is added to the Output listbox control.Immediately following that the msgbox pops up again and says "Not Invoked". I was expecting "Invoked" as a separate thread is trying to use the Output listbox control.Of course this results in the Output.Items.Add being attempted which results in no visible result as the thread is not allowed to directly update the UI control.

I'm working on a class that has multithreading in it, this class has events that are being raised (raiseevent) in a new created threads within the class, for example:
[Code]...
Now when I load this example application an error is raised up saying that there is a cross thread error (Cross-Thread operation not valid control 'Text1' accessed from a thread other than the thread it was created on.) Now I don't want to handle this error within my form (editing the code in the form) what I want to do is to fix this problem within the class (I guess something with invoke?)

I am making use of a serial port in a class. I am raising an event from that class to my form calling the class. Event contains data received... I wish to simply populate a textbox from the raised event.Now I am not specifically creating a seperate thread, but I get the normal crossthreading error when trying to update my textbox on the UI, so my assumption is that the serial port and its internal methods probably creates its own threads...Regardless, I am a bit confused as to how to properly implement an invoke, from my main form, pointing to the thread in the instantiated class...
Dim WithEvents tmpRS232 As New clsRS232
Private Sub but_txt_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles but_txt.Click
tmpRS232.Set_com_port("COM8", 38400)

I was using the following code within a class and creating an instance of that class from within my main form (Main.vb):Dim count As Integer = Main.DbDataSet.Accounts.CountThis was returning the count of accounts within my database.After changing the code so that I could run this in a background thread to save locking up the program, as more data is processed after this point, the count was returning 0 each time.

Right now I have a Email class that has all the properties of an email to send it, and then a SendEmail function which takes those properties and uses them in the following
Public Function SendEmail()
'Exception handling
Try
[Code]....
The loop goes through each email in the array to process its email, however with the multithreaded function I cannot call
"EmailArray(i).ThreadSendBatchEmail()"
So how do I call an objects method when its on a different thread?
And I'm making it multithreaded so I can easily pause the process, and because the program freezes when the send() function is working, this would resolve that.

I am trying to get a handle on SyncLock and multithreading, but I am having some trouble wrapping my head around exactly how it should be implemented. I have a Public Class Utilities with a many Shared Functions. I want to make sure that each function can only be executed when there are no other concurrent calls to the same function. So If I have 2 functions, A and B in a Public Class Utilities, what is the syntax so that a function "locks" while it is being executed, preventing any subsequent calls until the "locking" thread has completed?
CODE
Public Class Utilities
Public Shared Function A (ByRef i As Integer) As Integer
[CODE].............................
I know I need to wrap the statements of execution in a SyncLock block, but I am unsure of the scope of the parameter used with SyncLock...is it private to the function, class, etc? Can the same object be used to lock both functions if they are independent?

If Class X is within the scope of Class Y, is X a subclass of Y?If Class A is a sub Class of B, then is Class B considered a super class of A?if Class C inherits Class D is Class D a superclass or parent of Class C?if Class E extends Class F then we can consider Class E a child of F?if Class G inherits Class H and is within the scope of Class I then who is the parent of Class G? Classes that inherits Class J and classes that are within Class J are all sub classes of Class J?

I have put this code in the global form Inherits System.Windows.Forms.Form. And then in the form that will inherit this from the global Inherits MenuStrip. "MenuStrip" is what the global form is called. But keep getting this error: Error1Base class 'MenuStrip' specified for class 'Lesson2' cannot be different from the base class 'System.Windows.Forms.Form' of one of its other partial types.

I have a class (see below)
Imports Microsoft.VisualBasic
Imports System.Data.SqlClient
Public Class ClientProfile
#Region "Variables"
[CODE]...
It is in the file ClientProfile I have placed in both App_Code and also App_Code/Models
In my code behind I have the following
[CODE]...
The last word, "ClientProfile" has the scary squiggly red line below it. It is not recognizing my class.Even the Intellisense is not picking up te class. Do I have to register the class file in any way?

I am using an Application server for calling Oracle Reports and I have a URL to call the report. When the report is called the server converts it into PDF but when report contains large data it takes a lot of time to load. I want to do in asp.net that when I call the report url it opens the PDF file and copies it into the root of my web folder. The next time when I call the URL it opens the PDF file and creates a new PDF on backend for next call. I have made this function to download file

Basically I am making a proxy testing program. A user can supply a list of proxies to test. What i want to be able to do is have them be able to specify how many threads they want to run. Then have the program go through the list testing each one using the amount of threads supplied. Really not sure even where to start on this. Threadpooling?

I have a screen that checks for alerts every 30 seconds by looking up outstanding issues from a database.When there is an alert, an audio file is played depending on the alert.It takes 1-2 seconds to grab this audio file which caused an issue with global screen freezing, so I added multithreading where it plays the sound file. This seemed to work fine.However I am new to multithreading and am not sure if I'm working with it efficiently..I have simply declared the sound-playing function as a thread at the top:[code]I am unsure if starting and aborting the thread is the right way to do it. However if I suspend or make the thread sleep I would have to determine whether it has been run before.

I have read many articles on multithreading over the past few days and so far I'm fairly comfortable with how it works. I am now working on my actual application, and have come across a few design issues that I'm hoping somebody has experience with.The basic premise of the application is simple. A database filled with files names and a "converted" field that has a 1 or a 2 in it (1 for unconverted, 2 for converted). The application loops through every record where "converted" = 1, retrieve the file and convert it.
My single threaded application works fine, except its far too slow. Due to the huge amount of rows in the database (4 million+) and the time constraints on the project, I have decided to run as many threads as the hardware can allow to cut down on the timings.So, the dilemma is accessing database records and which threads should grab which record and how.

I have a function in my program that adjust sales for multiple days. Sometimes it needs to adjust up to 3 months and the tasks takes a while so I decided to split up the work between multiple threads. The way I have it working is say I need to adjust 3 months. I have the first thread adjust sales for the 1st month, the second thread adjust sales for the 2nd month and finally a third thread that will adjust sales for the 3rd month. Since all three threads are performing the same tasks except for different date range they use the same procedures. Within those procedures I make a call to the database to extract the sales for the given month. At some point it seems like the threads start to use the same SQL Data Objects because I am receiving the below error."There is already an open DataReader associated with this Command which must be closed first."Below is the first procedure that is ran by each thread up to the line where it errors out.
Private Sub Process_Adjustments(ByRef objAdjustBillCodeThreadParameters As clsAdjustBillCodeThreadParameters)
Dim cmd As SqlClient.SqlCommand
[code]....
So all three threads call this subroutine and the first thread does the data fill with no issues and then sometimes even the second thread does the data fill with no issue but then the third thread crashes and produces the above error. It seems as though the threads are sharing the same SQL Objects when all objects are local to the sub and I always thought each thread had it's own memory to work with. So I thought each thread would call the sub create it's own objects in memory, but that does not seem like what it's doing. I have other multithreading processes in my application that work perfectly fine, this is the first time I am attempting to multithread in this manner where I am using the same procedure within multiple threads.
Just thought of something that I might be doing wrong. The subroutine in question is in the same class where the threads are created. Should the subroutine be in it's own class, and therefore each instantiation of that class?

I try to use Multithreading with VB 2005. I added a Listbox to main form and i tried to fill ListBox with 2 threads. When i executed code it told me that this is unsafety operation becasuse of ListBox is created with Main(Form1) form.
Is there anybody who has such simple multithreading example with Mutex or such lock mechanism?

I'm using the WIA Aut. Library [URL] , trying to capture photos from 5 digital cameras (Nikon D90) USB-connected to my pc. Now, I partially achieved my goal, what I do is:
- loop through the attached devices, connecting to every camera;
- fotocamera.ExecuteCommand (WIA.CommandID.wiaCommandTakePicture) ;
- other image processing operations...
Everything works fine but... the workflow is camera1 -> connect -> grab pic. => camera 2 -> connect -> grab pic. => camera 3.....

You can create "shooting-threads" while looping through the device then launch 'em all.Done.It's still in a 'serial' way... :-(((Why? is executeCommand() a synchronized method? If I madly-fast click on two 'grab pictures' button of windows XP WIA dialog it works.. Is there something about .NET multithreading I don't know?

I am looking into using a producerconsumer threading pattern to run through a list of strings that i retrieve from a database and then am going to run powershell commands against. As the powershell commands can be quite intensive i only want to spawn 3 threads at a time and then wait for one thread to finish before doing anymore. I looked into the treadpool but it looks like it is used for more lightweight processing.

I want to download some imagefile from a multilinetextbox and right now i m using this code
Multiline textbox contains :
[URL]
Code 1 :
Code:
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Dim ary() As String = TextBox2.Text.Split(Environment.NewLine)
[Code]....
because in both cases it will download file one by one and i want to do my job as fast as possible by sharing the multilinetextbox data among set of thread's but how to do i dunno
Like if i multilinetextbox contain 100 image file link and i want to run 3 thread at a time then these 3 thread will share/Access the multilinetextbox data what will be the my final code ?

I am developing an FTP program which: Watches a folder. If a new file is dropped there then upload it. Tells user if uploading and when complete. All the above works, however I wan to add the items to a listbox that are being uploaded. So if I dropped 3 items there it would look like :
Upload Listbox:
cake.jpg
myExcelFile.xls
woot.docxAnd as each one is done, or new files are added it removes them or adds them.
I tried using que, but with no luck as the program just hangs whilst it uploads. So I had a search and looked into multithreading and I tried to implement it, but I can't get it to work as it gives me some 'delegate signature' related error message as you can't pass in values when trying to use 'AddressOf'.
Here is my code for the The .created sub:
Public Sub FSystemWatcher_Created(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.IO.FileSystemEventArgs) Handles FSystemWatcher.Created
'if any file created add fullpath to the listbox
ChangeLog.Items.Add("Created: " & e.Name)
QueueListBox.Items.Add(e.Name)
