View 6 RepliesI've been trying to figure out what is going on with this code, but it looks like I need some help. The issues I'm having is when I click a button that executes my background worker, it freezes and the UI comes back once the listview control is populated.My guess is that some part of my code under the backgroundworker_dowork function is trying to update something on the UI thread causing it to freeze. I just can't figure out what is trying to call the UI.
The user is supposed to click a add server button and enter the server name. The server name will be added to the ListView control. When they click refresh, the background worker is executed which attempts to get the DNS name, IP Addresses, and online/offline status.
Obviously, I'd like to run this code without freezing the UI. Does anyone have any idea on why this might be happening? My guess is because the ListViewItems are passed to the background worker and still have a reference to the control running on the UI thread. Am I right with this statement? If so, how do I change my code to get rid of that reference?
I have a button which on click will save the data into the database and after successful entry of data a messagebox will be displayed.Now,all i want to do is I want to calculate the time of how long does it take between clicking the button and displaying the messagebox.
View 19 RepliesI have a standard windows application called winap. I have a com component which acts as an api to the winap. I have a class in winap call classapi which has all the methods that the api calls and all works well. The problem is that one of the methods in my class api needs to get a handle on form elements in the main worker thread. Whenever I try to access an existing form I keep getting null because the for exists in the main worker thread and my api call is in a seperate thread.

I have the following code that adds a background worker into a VB.net WPF project:
Imports System
Imports System.ComponentModel
Imports System.ComponentModel.BackgroundWorker
[Code].....
And I get the following error for the DoWork worker event:
Handles clause requires a WithEvents variable defined in the containing type or one of its base types.
It seems like it's missing something in the Event declaration, but can't find it.

View 2 RepliesI'm writing an application in Visual Basic Express 2008, part of the function being to walk through a folder structure starting from a user specified folder. In my research, I found this thing called a background worker which seemed an appropriate tool to use given the potential size of a target folder structure. I successfully installed the two examples from the library here, and believe I understand the principles involved. Even so, having tried to build this feature into my application, it seems as though it is not working as expected, and, as predicted, debugging a multi-threaded application is a pain in the extremity.
I have this fragment under my "start" button click event -

View 31 RepliesI have a background worker that used to fire its RunworkerCompleted event when its DoWork routine finished querying a database and writing its output to a file. The bg worker was in a class called Query, which was called from another class called Trigger. A new Trigger Class was created for each monitored event. In this class, there was a structure which stored the config of each Trigger. When this event was triggered (set to TRUE) a new query class is created and it is passed the Trigger class. When the database query, file writing was done, the query class and all its rsources were diposed from the RunWorkerCompleted EventRecently I changed the application so that a new trigger class is not created for each monitored event. There is a single instance of the class but new config structure for each event. When a particular event is trigger, jsut the config structure is passed to a new query class and the sma ething is done in the query class. I just noticed now that the RunWorkerCompleted event is not being fired anymore.
View 5 RepliesI have an issue that I can't seem to find a straight answer for anywhere... I have a For loop that sends a file name to a background worker that contains some long running code and I can't find a way for the parent thread to wait for the background worker to finish... Here is the example code:

I have run into this before, When I develop a form to use a background worker to fill tableadapters, the background worker does fine on machines running Vista, but if you run the same thread on an XP machine, the thread gets hung.All the thread is doing is filling a table adapter like this.[code]Why would this run on a Vista machine and not an XP machine?
View 1 RepliesI have created a background worker to go and run a pretty long task that includes creating more threads which will read from a file of urls and crawl each. I tried following it through debugging and found that the background process ends prematurely for no apparent reason.

This first bit of code is the loop to input from file and this is what the background worker does. The next bit of code is where the background worker creates threads to work all the 'landingPages'. After about 10 threads are created the background worker exits this sub and skips the file input loop and exits the program.
Try
For Each landingPage As String In landingPages
pgbar.Timer1.Stop()
If VisitedPages.Contains(landingPage) Then

Also my main thread runs a forms from where this background is called to run but the main thread is supposed to wait for the background process to end unless the user selects another option from the main form.
I've been experimenting with background worker to maintain responsiveness and to allow the UI to update while things are being done in the background.I've been having problems getting the background worker to do anything with form controls.For simplicity lets say I have form1 and form2.The background worker is on form1Initially I couldnt get it to edit controls on form1 but by using [code]However the problem came when I tried to get the same background worker to update controls on form2, in this case a text box. With the above code there is no error but it also does not update the text box.Is there an easy way to give a background worker access to multiple forms.
View 4 RepliesI have some class that splits some work onto multiple worker threads. To be more specific: the class represents a download, that can have as many segments as the user wants, that get then put onto separate threads.When I run the download with one segment, it works fine. When I run it with 2 segments, the second segment encounters an error.[code]When I put a breakpoint on the if, it'll stop there, but when I go to the next line, I get an error.I don't get what's getting wrong, and got a headache after a few hours of attempting to keep track of the correct thread.Anyone an idea what's going wrong, or how I can detect it better? (This is the first time I'm doing real multi threading debugging.

View 3 RepliesI have a function it is called ReLoad()
How can i run it as a background worker? so it can run in the background where it does not effect my current running function - basicly so the form will not freeze at all.
This is slightly different to just updating a UI from a worker thread. The object which calls the thread, calls another object, and it is this object which is is trying to update the UI. It doesn't however work.
Imports System.Threading
Public Class Form1
Public Delegate Sub GetText(ByVal sText As String)
Public GetSomeText As GetText
Public Sub New()
' This call is required by the Windows Form Designer.
