Stop Method Execution With Timeout
Sep 14, 2009
my application has integrated an external library with long running math-evaluations. It happens that some calls to functions in this library start but do never come to an end.
Unfortunately I have no chance to look examine the behaviour of the library. So I got the idea to stop my function calls to the library after a timeout.
Has anybody an idea how to manage this an to control the execution of a function, i.e. to stop it hardly after a certain time?

I have the next code that works with AS400
1.- ConexionODBC = New OdbcConnection("dsn=" & gStrDSNIBS & ";uid=" & gStrIdUsuarioDBIBS & ";pwd=" & gStrPasswordDBIBS & ";")
2.- ConexionODBC.Open()
3.- sQuery = "CALL MIFSTORE.SP_TPVFEE1"

The purpouse is to execute a SP, but sometimes the DBA modifies the SP without any notification.When the SP is modified and runs the app, the code freezes in the line 7 but does not return a value nor error, even, after 2 hours it remains in that line, I have set the command.timeout (line 6) but it doesn't work either.how to stop the execution of the SP after a period of time.

I have the following bit of code that is timing out when I pass it a long running set of SQL statements. I'm using the Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo library from SQL Server 2008.
Using cn As SqlConnection = GetConnection(_destinationCNS, True)
Dim smoServer As New Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo.Server(New ServerConnection(cn))
[Code]....
I'm having trouble figuring out where to declare that timeout duration. What object and property should I be setting the timeout duration for the statement execution, not the connection timeout. On the SQLCommand object there is a convenient CommandTimeout property but I'm not seeing anything like that here.

How can I completely stop code execution?
Also, how can I hide a form and keep all information saved so I can bring it back up again?
For instance, I have form1 with "alpha" written in a textbox. Now when I hide form1 (Me.Hide), I would like to be able to bring form1 back with "alpha" still written in the textbox.
Currently, I hide it, and when I show it again, the textbox is empty.

I need to stop the execution of a program in VB.net. Within a repeating structure the program checks whether a variable is true or false. When the variable is false I need to stop the program execution. I do not want to close the program but simply stop it. One way I found was raising an exception, but I would not want to display the error message to the user. What is the best way to do it ?
Do
If myvariable=false then
throw new exception... 'Silent exception
end if
Loop until ....

Is there a command that will stop the execution of my program?
I have a service that is processes an exchange account via telnet every 10 minutes. During one point of execution the application could possibly have a response from the telnet session when there are NO e-mails in the folder, which would look something like this[code]...
So is it possible for me to just stop my application at that point since there's no point in continuing if there are no e-mails in the account?

I have written a converting program, which converts binary files to ASCII files. (VB.net 2010). I need to have a functional "stop" button on the form and I was wondering if there was a simple command to make a program stop, exit all procedures, and wait for user input on the form.
It is not feasible to multithread this application, as it frequently interfaces with the form. Currently, I have a global boolean variable which becomes true if the stop button is pressed, and I have internal loops checking to see if the variable is true. However, I don't to waste CPU on checking a variable if it's not necessary.

I have a vb.net application that uses threads to asynchronously process some tasks in a "Scheduled Task" (console application).We are limiting this app to run 10 threads at once, like so:
(pseudo-code)
- create a generic list of 10 threads
- spawn off the threadproc for each one
- do a thread.join statement for each thread to wait for the longest running one to complete.
What i am finding is that if the code called by the threadproc contains any "Debug.Writeline" or "Trace.Traceinformation" statements, the thread hangs. I can see the thread in the Debug - Windows - Threads window, and switch to it, but it highlights the debug.writeline statement and never gets past it. is there something special about the Debug or Trace statements that make them non-thread-safe? Any idea why this would hang things up? If I leave the debug statement in, the thread never completes. If I take the debug statement out, the thread completes in less than 5 seconds.

I am checking to see if a textbox contains a number, or is null. If it is non numeric or null a message box appears asking the user to input the proper value. When the user clicks OK on the msgbox the program will continue to execute the code. I want it to stop executing the code and revert back to its default state as it would be if you just opened the program. What is the command for doing this so I can add to the if statement?
Dim numCheckV as boolean
numCheckV = IsNumeric(Vinput)
If numCheckV = False OrElse TextBox1.Text = "" Then
MsgBox("Please enter voltage!")
End If

I am working on an app and I am a bit confused w/ threading. I understand the point of threading but I am not getting when to use a background worker thread vs. a standard thread vs. a thread pool. Can someone shed some light on when to use which? Right now, I am trying code an app that does stuff initially in a sequential order and then eventually must thread (otherwise it takes forever). The problem I am having w/ the sequential stuff (and threading later) is that I need a button to be able to stop execution of code. [Code]
I did the background worker on this first sequential operation because when I tried w/ out it, the text box didn't update at all until the web page contents were retrieved. Basically, the text box change of "Starting." doesn't show up until the web page is finished processing even though the assignment to the text box happens before that code.

Does calling the Dispose method on a Windows.Forms.Timer call it's Stop method? Or should I stop the timer before I dispose it?

VB.NET 2010, .NET 4/I have a System.Timers.Timer object that does some work on its elapsed event:
Private Sub MasterTimer_Elapsed(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Timers.ElapsedEventArgs) Handles MasterTimer.Elapsed
MasterTimer.Enabled = False
'...work...
MasterTimer.Enabled = True
End Sub
My problem is that the work that it's doing sometimes gets stuck. Part of the work is serial communication so it might be getting stuck waiting for a response from something. I've already modified my serial communication code a bit to hopefully solve the problem. However, this timer is basically the heartbeat of a production control application and it is very bad if it were to stop for any reason. I was thinking that it might be nice to put in a fail-safe timeout so that, if the "work" is taking too long, the timer could re-enable itself and try again. I was thinking of something like this:Move the work into a subroutine and create a delegate:
Private Delegate Sub WorkDelegate()
Private Sub Work()
'...work...
End Sub
Call the work by invoking the delegate and then use WaitOne(timeout) on the IAsyncResult to specify a timeout:
Private Sub MasterTimer_Elapsed(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Timers.ElapsedEventArgs) Handles MasterTimer.Elapsed
MasterTimer.Enabled = False
Dim workDel as New WorkDelegate(AddressOf Work)
[code]....
In that it would re-enter a subroutine that is already running? Is there a way to abort Work() if it hasn't finished after the timeout? In other words, just cease execution of Work() if result.IsCompleted Is False after WaitOne?

So, I got an SSD drive for my computer the other week, and decided to have a little fun. I wrote a program which starts every single program in the Windows Programs folder in the Start Menu, via clicking the "Go" button on my Form. It works beautifully. Only thing I would like to add to it is some sort of timer, which I have never tried in any programming language. I would basically like for a timer to be running, counting in real time (seconds), until my loop ends, and then display the total time taken at the end. I was thinking about setting a variable equal to the current time, before the loop starts, and then another equal to the time right after it ends, and then taking the difference of the two.

I am writing a Windows Forms Application using Visual Studio 2008 Pro .NET version 3.5 with STRICT and EXPLICIT options both ON.
I am having trouble using ".Start()" and ".Stop()" for my stopwatch method from other methods. I have tried several different methods of writing the line that calls the start and stop, but none work, and VS keeps sending me in circles with its correction suggestions.
Form Level

Imports System.Diagnostics

and promptly gives me the same error with no options for correcting it. The same thing happens for the stop command.

I have a VB.NET project and a C# project in the same VS2010 solution. The VB.NET project is referenced (and used) by the C# project as a project reference. If while I am in the C# project, and I Ctrl-Click or Go to Definition on an element that is part of the VB project, it takes me to C# generated metadata instead of the actual VB code file.Is there any way to get this to go to the VB code file, so I dont have to navigate manually in solution explorer/navigator?

Alright, so I'm still working on the slot machine. I have three timers all independently going for my three "wheels" of the slot machine.
My issue, is that I'm trying to make a Stop button to stop each timer one at a time, and I'm not understanding why this code isn't working. The logic completely makes sense, and the first "wheel" stops when I click the button, however, it doesnt appear to stop the other two timers.

I created a form and have the variable inputs for 4 motor run statements. Then with a start button the script starts and it is surrounded by a for next statement to loop 10 times. It works fine but if i need to stop the execution of the script with a stop button. I put the stop in a new section but of course does not work to do a motor stop. It just causes the exe to not respond till the loop is complete. Just need to be able to stop the Run1_Click button section.
Edit:I do not mind if it finishes the 4 motor run commands and then stops execution of the loop. So need to figure out a way to trigger a stop from a button on the form to stop the cycle. For the future the loop will be a variable integer input so 10 will not be the standard.
Edit::Does a ' Do ' statement sound like the thing to use? If so how and where would I place that? Have a Stop button on the form and it would stop after the 4th motor run command.

I have a START and STOP button and when the user clicks "start" the program does a whole bunch of calculations and all. However, I noticed that when I was testing the program I clicked STOP the program continues to execute stuff.
My START code is basically a while loop that iteratively does some calculations.
So I just put a boolean variable as the while condition and when user clicks stop its set to false and when user clicks start its set to true. However, when I click stop, the condition is set to false yes but it still executes all the code until the condition is re-evaluated right...so my question is how can I get out of the while loop when user instantly clicks "stop"?
