VS 2008 BackgroundWorkers - Does Not List Files In Order

Nov 26, 2010

The code uses dynamically backgroundworkers which all workers great, but with one problem. If you were to look at line:
For Each folderPath In File.ReadAllLines("file path here")
You would see that it loops the text file, and starts background work.
The problem is that it does not list the files in order.
For example were you see "file path here" that were you put the file path.
The text file itself would look something like this:
C: est
C:VB
The program starts listing file from the C:est then goes back to C:VB then back to C:est.

I know the reason why, but I can't stop it. I tried pausing that code inside the loop, but with no luck. How would be able to list the files in order?
vb.net
Private filePaths As New List(Of String)
Private workers As New List(Of BackgroundWorker)
Private Sub GetAllFiles()
For Each folderPath In File.ReadAllLines("file path here")
Dim worker As New BackgroundWorker
[Code] .....

VS 2008 Implement Multiple BackGroundWorkers?

Mar 24, 2009

I am making an application that has a tabbed interface. Each tab uses a UserControl with the controls that I need on it. The user enters some data & clicks a button, which starts a lengthy process. I would like to run that process in a BGW, so that the user can switch to (or open) another tab & process another set of data simultaneously.

I'm having a bit of a 'brain doner' moment here

I have a list of Objects. Each of these Objects contains a list of other Objects (pseudo code) :-

Private Structure Object1

I need to sort the list of Object1 by the Value in Object2. I have a comparison class which sorts Object2 by its Value nicely.

VS 2008 - Retrieving List Of Files From FTP Server?

Apr 26, 2010

I'm using this code to retrieve the list of files from a FTP server
Dim request As FtpWebRequest = WebRequest.Create("[URL]")
request.Credentials = New NetworkCredential(username, password)
request.Method = WebRequestMethods.Ftp.ListDirectoryDetails
Dim response As FtpWebResponse = request.GetResponse()
Dim responseStream As Stream = response.GetResponseStream()
Dim reader As StreamReader = New StreamReader(responseStream)
messagebox.show (reader.ReadLine)

It gives me alot of information that I dont need, I know that I can use:
request.Method = WebRequestMethods.Ftp.ListDirectory
Which only retrieves the file name but when I try to change it, it gives me an error. Error number 550. ListDirectory so I can only get the file name?

VS 2008 Split String - List Of Files

May 15, 2010

I have a range of strings (Basically filenames) and I want to strip them down. Basically I load a list of files (path/clubs/) and it lists them into a list box as club1.adf club2.adf etc. I then select club1.adf for example from the list box, and hit a button. The button then loads path/club1 into my application. So basically I want to split the .adf from the club1. Something like the following, I imagine?

Difference Between ThreadPool And BackgroundWorkers?

Jan 11, 2009

I'm currently writing an application that is used to automate a certain task. Currently, it uses the threadpool (using up to 25 threads per the enduser's option). Each thread calls a function which will usually take about two minutes to finish, but it uses a While loop in order to repeat the process. This is my code to start the threads:

Private Sub ProcessAllItems()
For i As Integer = 1 To Me.numThreads.Value Step 1
Threading.ThreadPool.QueueUserWorkItem(New Threading.WaitCallback(AddressOf ProcessItem), i)
Next i
End Sub

The function "ProcessItem()" is the function that contains the While loop. The control "Me.numThreads" is a NumericUpDown control whose max value is set to 25. My question is...is this a good method to follow? To my knowledge after .NET Framework SP1 there is a max of 250 threads/CPU. However I've read the the threadpool is normally used for processing short-lived tasks. Should I be using background workers instead? If so, how could I start up to 25 background workers during runtime depending on the value of "Me.numThreads"?

Jun 6, 2011

I am writing an automation program that runs 4 test boxes in line with a handler. Im having a problem with running 4 BGWs(back ground workers). The Program is running fine right now but its not running the way it was designed. What i am trying to do is get all 4 BGWs to run in parallel. what its doing right now is running 3 and then when those three are done running it runs the 4th. the crazy part is its not running 1 2 3 then 4 its running 1 2 4 and then 3.

I want to sort the lists by the second item in the contained lists but I don't know what parameter is needed in the .sort method. What do I need to put in as a parameter. I read something about writing a comparer function and putting that in the brackets but I don't understand how that works.

How To Test If Multiple Backgroundworkers Have Completed

Mar 15, 2011

I'm trying to develop an application which searches a sql server database. One particular search entered by the user actually sends seven queries to the database. I've designed it so each of the seven queries is conducted in a seperate backgroundworker, so that they run and return their hits concurrently. When the user enters a search term, a routine (runSearch) is called , which in turn causes each seperate backgroundworker to run.This work fine when the user enters a single search term.I'm now trying to allow the user to enter multiple search terms in a multiline textbox. I iterate through the lines in the textbox and call runsearch for each line. I assumed that the progam would wait for each call to runsearch to complete, before running the next.

I now find out this is not the case. When I call runSearch, the backgroundworkers are set in motion. The next line in the textbox then calls runSearch again, but the backgroundworkers from the previous calling of runSearch are still running. This throws up an error stating that the backgroundworker is still busy and cannot be called.I need a way to test that all of the backgroundworkers have completed before running runsearch again. If one or more of the backgroundworkers are still running

List Box To Display In Descending Order?

Jan 22, 2011

My task is to create buttons to demonstrate how loops work on a form. Two numbers are entered and validated (lower bound and upper bound). They are then to display all the numbers between them in an "odds list box" and an "evens list box" in ascending order. If however, the lower bound number is higher than the upper bound number - they are to be displayed in the list boxes in "descending order". My code for the "For...Next...Loop" worked fine - but I am having trouble with the "Do While Loop". I can not seem to determine how to have it displayed in descending order.[code]...

Printing Multiple PDF Files In Order

May 16, 2012

I'm having trouble many PDF files in the order that I send the print command using the following [Code]

It prints just fine other than it not being in the correct order. The only way I managed to get it in the correct order is by adding a timer and checking to see if there are any jobs in the print queue, which really slows down the printing process, especially when creating 500+ print jobs.

I was wondering if there is a better way to print these files, to where it will print fast and still be in order. A couple things I have in mind, but not sure if possible, is to create a text file or XML file that has the list of files to print and the quantity and queue the printer off that list or to convert PDF files to XPS documents and then using PrintQueue class to add the XPS file as a print job.

Split the array into 3 parts and call 3 separate workers to do their part?

C# - Order List By Arbitrary Sort Expression?

Mar 2, 2011

I have a generic list, like this:
System.Collections.Generic.List<Question> myquestions = new System.Collections.Generic.List<Question>();

And I have a paging example, using a LINQ table acquried from database, doing this for paging:
var questions = context.Questions
.OrderBy(sidx + " " + sord)
.Skip(pageIndex * pageSize)
.Take(pageSize);

Right now, for paging my populated from code list, I have:
var questionss = myquestions
.OrderBy(x => x.Id)
.Skip(pageIndex * pageSize)
.Take(pageSize);

And what I want is being able to order "myquestions" by a string as in the above example. Is that possible?
