I have written a code in background worker which calls a function written in a module. In that function I create an object of an existing form. But on doing so I get error "Current thread must be set to single thread apartment (STA) mode before OLE calls can be made. Ensure that your Main function has STAThreadAttribute marked on it."[code]

I'm new for VB.Net 2008. I am facing some problem about how to make the multiple groups activities running (it might concurrent) based on their own activity's time set? For example: If there is 80 groups and 100++ activities in each group, can i use background worker (create 80 background worker?) to handle this (each background worker handle their group activities.) if in this case (But it will running lag or hang)

Imports System
Imports System.ComponentModel
Imports System.ComponentModel.BackgroundWorker

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.
I have created a background worker using a tutorial. I understand some basic stuff like how to update a label or a progress bar from inside of it. The purpose of this background worker is setup a bunch of variables that are going to be used by several other background workers later. The variables i am setting up are 6 different lists and a multi-dimensional array. The code looks like this for the background worker at the moment.
Private Sub My_BgWorker_DoWork(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.ComponentModel.DoWorkEventArgs) Handles My_BgWorker.DoWork
For i As Integer = 0 To m_CountTo
[code]....
I would normally use the persons.add to add something to the list, but I'm having a really hard time wrapping my brain around an easy way inside of the backgroundworker to add new values to several different lists(which are going to vary in amount of data values). Is there an easy way to do this? I'm used to just having invokes at the top of a sub to do this but those don't seem to work inside of a dowork sub.
I want my progress bar to go down as time gets closer to it's next "event", so i guess i need a background worker for that so it uses another thread.How can I get that to loop on a timer so something so i knows where it's zero value will be and where it's current vlaue should be.

I have a background worker which runs, at the start it stops a timer which has it's interval set to 500ms, at the end of the bgworker sub it starts it again. I've debugged and found out that the line that starts the timer up again (tTimer.Enabled=True) runs. However the timer does not resume. I'm don't know, but I'm thinking perhaps because I'm stopping and starting it on another thread it's not resuming properly or the sub it was attached to (via AddHandler) has been reset or something so it's running but not running the code in the sub it was attached to. If I never stop the timer in the code, it continues to run just fine, but I need it to stop at the start.
View 2 RepliesI'm working on a web application that uses the web browser control to get and set info from my website. The content on the site is pulled from different pages and the data the application stores becomes really huge so i used a background worker to do the work and keep the form responsive. On each loop i call to get the webbrowser's inner html so i can sort through it and grab what i need and it works; but only the first time!? After i call it the first time and try to call it again to update the variables the function hangs and then the console shows me a Thread Abort Exception, The try statement i used to contain it doesn't fire off an exception. When i debug the program and i get to that function, it hangs and then just stops working.
The function that loops:

Dim ids As String = GrabIDs()
Dim IDCount As Long = ids.Split(CChar(",")).Length - 1
Do Until IDCount = 0

I am using query from a SQLite database as the AutocompleteCustomSource for a ComboBox. Also, I want to load data in separate thread. My LoadData method works fine when called directly, but it fails when it is called from the BackgroundWorker thread.

I'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 -
HomeSource.Enabled = False
HomeCopy.Enabled = False
HomeReport.Enabled = False

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.

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

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 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.
I am developing a VB application along with MS Access... When I initially load my form I need to put my application to sleep for 3 seconds or else data wont load properly. So for this 3 seconds I would like to show a progress bar displaying a message "Please wait" I tried using background worker but did not find any success... I have gone through many tutorials but for some reason could not accomplish the task.

View 2 RepliesI am trying to code a simple background workers class without needing to use the backgroundworker object on a form. This would allow me to use a background worker in any class without writing much additional code. Is it possible to pass in the name of a sub at runtime instead of hard-coding it?

ive developed my app and am im trying to improve its use ability. Ive created a dvd management app for myself and i have a function that retrieves all the data for all the movies displayed in my listview. It works fine but the interface hangs for the entire time.Ive decided to use a background worker so i can browse other movies with all the data is being fetched.Im having silly problems with getting the index value for my listview when im using the .DoWork()
ive had these errors:
1. Cross-thread operation not valid: Control 'ListView1' accessed from a thread other than the thread it was created on.
2. nvalidArgument=Value of '1' is not valid for 'index'. Parameter name: index
the function works a dream whenvnot being called inside the doWork()
