I have an app that I query a database for IP information, then Ping the IP's and log the results to a database. This takes a long time (testing with 200 takes about 5 minutes as they are all sites across public internet) due to waiting for response from 1 ping before sending the next ping for the next site.

I have a MDI WinForms application that can perform several tasks. Each task is running as a backgroundWorker.What is the good approach to control the running threads:check whether the specific thread is running stop specific thread ?For example it shouldn't be possible to run the same task simultaneously.May be I need a separate class where I can store isTaskRunning variable?
View 1 RepliesConsider I have a shared function:Public Shared Function CalculateAreaFromRadius(ByVal radius As Double) As Double
[Code]...
If I have two or more threads in the same vb .net app and each of them calls the shared function at the same time with different RADIUS, will they each get their own AREA? I want to know for each call to the function if it is using same local variables or each call creates new instances of local variables?Will the answers to above questions be same If I have multiple (2+) single threaded apps and they all call the function at the same time with different RADIUS value?

Currently I'm using System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(5000) to let my app pause/sleep for some time. This works great but I can't open my app anymore when it's sleeping and it uses about 25% of my CPU. I guess there must be a better way to do this. I also tried using a timer but that didn't work out to well for me..
View 5 RepliesI've got a tough one today and need a lot of with it. I hope someone out there has some experience in a manufacturing environment or at least point me to somewhere that will have an answer. So, the company I work for has RS 5000 (also have RS Linx) by Rockwell Automation. I need to record process test values to a file on a server and then use VB to manipulate that data. First off, I am trying to figure out how to get the data off of the PLC Can I export data to a file or do I have to retrieve data from a processor?
View 10 RepliesI have just started using vb.net and I have a checked list box with times throughout the day shown as
00:00 - 00:14
00:15 - 00:29
00:30 - 00:44
00:45 - 00:59
What I am trying to find is a way to get the current time and find which list item it fits into. What I think I need to do is to first of all get the current time and then go through the list splitting each item into 2 times and seeing if the current time fits. For example: Split the item 00:00 - 00:14 to 00:00 and 00:14 and then check if the current time is more than 00:00:00 but less than 00:14:59 and if so do certain task.how to go about taking each list item and splitting it into 2 separate times so I can check between them?
Quick question - if I have a timer set to 5000 (5 seconds) and the code in the timer takes longer than 5 seconds to run because of sql stuff, will the timer wait until the code is done till it fires again?

View 1 Replies[code] 'The description for the state.getbuttons() is:'Public Function GetButtons() as Byte (is a array of buttons).'The high-order bit of the Byte is set if the corresponding button is down, 'and clear if the button is up or does not exist.This code is used to show if certain buttons of a GamePad/joystick are pressed using the DirectInput method (DirectX SDK).This code shows how many buttons are pressed simultaneously. So 00 for zero and 00 01 if two buttons are pressed. I would like to know what button exactly is pressed (some kind of unique code for each button). But I can't get it done.
1. Is there a way so show all the bits inside the state.getbuttons()? (maybe there is a unique combination for each button).
2. What does &H80 mean?
I have referred to the following question at: Using foreach loop to iterate through two lists. My question is this, with regards to the chosen answer: Can the o.DoSomething be a comparison? As in:
For Each a in ListA.Concat(ListB)
If(a from ListA=a from ListB) Then
Do Something here
End If

I'm using VB.Net and would like to know how I can do what I have shown here. That would basically be to iterate through a joined list separately/independently.

View 13 RepliesI want to expand it a little bit and add a second timer that runs parallel to the first timer, but is not affected in any way shape or form by the first timer.
Ive tried nesting the second loop in the first loop but the second loop takes 3 seconds to complete (I use thread.sleep(3000)), so I found that it froze the first loop till the second loop finishes. I was reading about system threading (System.Timers.Timer) and it seems like that is the route I want to go.
I wrote this quick as an example:

I cant use the timer1 to set off the second round of events because of the thread.sleep. I was hoping that the code above puts the second thread to sleep while the windows.form.timer continues on ticking every 1000 ms
I used different backgroundworkers to instantiate some 'heavy' forms thinking that it will reduce the time to instantiate them if I did them at once but it looks like I am wrong since it is still taking about 43 seconds to load all of them. Am I missing something or do you have a tip on how I can speed up their instantiation?

Not wanting to hijack 45minutes thread, I thought I might spawn a thread of my own based on his question.
PlausiblyDamp was kind enough to provide some generic code, which I have modified and attached.
I have made a few alterations mostly around removing random objects, as the game in question (Space Invaders) has a set amount of aliens and set starting positions.
As a start I have limited the UpdatedPostion to horizontal movement as the aliens only go side to side unless they hit an edge.[code]...

View 1 RepliesWe are looking to design a security application that does the following on laptops:If the ethernet adapter is used (cable plugged in) disable/block all other network connections (wireless WIFI, mobile broadband (PPP), virtual VPN adapters etc)When ethernet adapter is not being used again, all connections allowed.We have looked in the WMI a lot but there are no good ways of doing this. Only disabling the network connection is not secure enough because most mobile broadband applications try to re-establish the connection. This should be an application that works on all laptop vendors without any user interaction (such as choosing interfaces etc..).

I have been using the My.Computer.Audio.Play method for sounds in my program for a very long time, but now I have reached a point where the program needs to be able to play more than one sound at a time. What is the best (and preferably simplest) way to do this?
View 8 RepliesI want to play multiple sounds simultaneously from My.Resources in Visual Basic 2010. I have tried:My.Computer.Audio.Play(My.Resources.SoundName, AudioPlayMode.Background)
I have also tried using multiple Windows Media Player controls, but that also didn't work.The first sound is cut off when the next sound plays.When searching around the internet I found people suggesting using 'DirectSound', but there are only tutorials for DirectSound in VB 6.0.
