VS 2005 How To End A Thread That's Busy
Jul 6, 2011
I have a client program I wrote that waits for TCP communications. I found that when it was waiting, the form became unusable. I did some reading and learned about threading. Now it works great. Now I came to the point where I need to stop the program.. this is basically what I have:
[code]...
I figured I'd use the quit option to set the bool to false that the thread will see then do the proper closeout. However, it doesn't seem to work. After banging my head against the code, hehe, I realized that the thread is hung waiting for a client on the "AcceptTcpClient()" line.. so it's never getting a chance to evaluate SystemRunning.Is that an accurate assumption of the problem? If so, how does one deal with it?Also, I surmised that I probably should put my "end" statement at the end of the thread to be closed rather than my quit sub. I was afraid the marker boolean for the thread would get set and then the quit sub would immediately trigger "end" before the thread had a chance to close out. Is that also correct, or doesn't it matter?

In one application, I need use 4 simultaneous threads.When the threads finished, I need to update the text of a TextBox.So, I create 4 Textbox, and I wanna the threads change the text to FINISHED.Each thread change one distinct TB.I use this "example"
Dim Terminados As Integer = 0
Private Sub frmEnviarMensagem_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
Timer1.Enabled = True
Timer1.Start()
[code]....
The problem is, I have an error in the red lines.The error is: INVALIDOPERATIONEXCEPTION "Cross-Thread operation not valid: Control tbPlaca1 Accessed from a thread other than the thread it was created on."I don't use cross threading. Each TB only was accessed for the correspondent thread, and for the "main program".

This is the error message I am getting:
"Cross-thread operation not valid: Control 'Panel1' accessed from a thread other than the thread it was created on." The reason I am getting this error is because I am opening up a new form and then calling these three things:
Panel1.Show()
Label1.Show()
Label2.Show()
why I get this error message because it doesn't occur normally if I open Form2 after closing Form1, it only occurs when I open Form2 after closing Form4.

Would anyone be able to help me here please. I'm fairly new to VB.net and threading so im just trying to figure out what is happening.When I debug this I am getting the error thread operation not valid: Control 'ProgressBar1' accessed from a thread other than the thread it was created on.
I'm a little lost as to why the error is occuring or how to fix it. I've had to put the progress bar in a separate thread otherwise the GUI crashes

My understanding is that thread.join will suspend the execution of code on the calling thread until the spawned thread finishes or is aborted...
With that in mind, I tried this:
For i = 1 to 50
threads = New Thread(AddressOf test)
threads.IsBackground = True
threads.SetApartmentState(ApartmentState.STA)
[CODE]...
However, the rest of the code runs when the loop finishes, not waiting for all the spawned threads to finish. Since the rest of the code needs the threads to finish (otherwise the rest will error).

I have written an application that loads a form - frmCad as well as AutoCad. It does this via a class which detects when AutoCad quits.
Friend Class CadApp Private WithEvents AppObject As AcadApplication... Private Sub AppObject_BeginQuit(ByRef Cancel As Boolean) Handles AppObject.BeginQuit RaiseEvent Quit() End SubEnd Class
My main class loads frmCad as well as CadApp.
Public Class Cad Private WithEvents frmCad As CadForm Private WithEvents app As CadApp... Public Sub ShowForm() If frmCad Is Nothing Then frmCad = New CadForm frmCad.Visible = True End Sub... Private Sub app_Quit() Handles app.Quit frmCad.Dispose() frmCad = Nothing .... End Sub
When I debug the program, it stops at frmCad.Dispose()The program continues to execute, but all the code after it fails to work.Looking more carefully I get an error message which contains:-Cross-thread operation not valid: Control 'Autocad' accessed from a thread other than the thread it was created on.

i used it and it works fine then. but as it is mentioned its not a good practice to use it. So what should i do? is it ok if i use this as i am not able to use correct practice. Mine application is not for enterprise purpose. its just my class project, and it works fine even if i put application working in background. System works ok. I dont know how to correct this error.As i dont have that much knowlege of threads.
So please guide me how to fix this in correct way otherwise i am force to go for bad programming practice

There is a website from which i want to extract the data. Currently there are 1700 pages of data(list of products).so , currently what i am doing is using an webclient to DownloadString for each of the 1700 pages using for loop, which is making the UI unresponsive for few minutes. (after every loop i am displaying the progess % in prog. bar)To overcome the unresponsiveness use Threads. But by using threads i am not able to access the progess bar and set the completion status?

In my application I have a loop that makes calls to a website to download data. I'm using a DownloadDataAsynch call with a handler.
I'm making many such calls in a loop. What I'd like to do is, if I have more than a certain number of replies pending, I should pause the loop and let the data handlers run.
How do I do that?

I want to raise an event from a non-UI thread where the event will be handled by the UI. Currently, I have to use .Invoke in my methods (which updates UI) called from the event.
How can I raise the event, similar to Background Worker's progress update event, where I don't have to specifically do an .Invoke for UI updates?
Do I wrap the event with a delegate or something? Sample code will be fine though, if the explanation was tedious.

How can I access data that WebBroswer1.navigate function is downloading from a website, while it is downloading it? If I access it once it has finished downloading it through the WebBrowser1_DocumentCompleted function, it only slows down my program, since it has to wait for the website to finish downloading to the control before I can access it.

I wrote a fax program that is using Microsoft FaxServer and FaxDocument on a windows 7 machine. I want to be able to check if the modem that the FaxServer is using is busy. I maybe busy for whatever reason (in use by another program, receiving or sending faxes, whatever). What currently happens, is if the modem is busy, the fax is sent to the Windows Queue and waits for the modem to get done. I don't want that to happen. So before sending I want to check if the modem is in use. I have a couple of things I have already done. But I am having issue tying them together.
I can get a list of ports for the computer and I can get the faxserver devices. But I would like to be able to do something like... take the faxserver device it is using(Com1, Com2, Com3...Whatever) and I want to check if it is free.

I have a form with several buttons on it and when the user presses one of the buttons it begins a lengthy process (takes up to several seconds). What I want to happen is that any subsequent button presses that occur on any other button on the form are ignored until the process is complete from the initial button press. What actually happens is that subsequent button presses go into a queue and are executed in sequence as the processes for each complete. What I mean is, if each button executes a function that takes 2 seconds and I hit 5 buttons very quickly (in less than 2 seconds say) it leads to a sequence of events that takes 10 seconds.... what I want to happen is for it to lead to only the FIRST button press occurring and taking the 2 seconds that it's activated function takes.
I am writing software that interfaces with hardware through a USB to UART converter and am using virtual COM ports and timing is critical. I want something to occur ONLY when I press a button, not seconds later after being queued up and waiting for a previous operation to finish.

I am trying to determine if a modem is busy. I have tried using serial ports which from what i can see just tells me that something is tied to a port or not. It does not tell me if the modem is busy.
My overall question is How do can I determine if a modem is busy? For an added bonus, also is there a way to tell what device is using a particullar port?
