The VB2K8 Express IDE is hanging intermittantly when I click on the form's Design tab. The tab's work area goes blank and a wait cursor appears. I can't switch tabs or do anything else within the IDE at this point. I have to go to the Task Manager, end the VB taskk, and restart the IDE. VB is at SP 1 with .NET 3.5. I have no third party add-ins or controls except for the Visual Basic Power Packs which aren't being used. At this point it is annoying and I haven't lost anything yet but it is happening more frequently over time.
View 4 RepliesI have detected a problem running my application under Vista 64 bits OS.
My application is developed using VB.NT 2008 and compiled as x86
I have a main form. In this form there is an option to open other form. TThis second form must return a few values to the main form. When the user click on this 2nd form, to return values, this form hangs up (2nd form hangs up)
But for what I could have known, it continues executing the rest of code that exists after to open form. I want to say that the form dialog (2nd form) is not closed (hangs up) but it the code continues being executed, because I have seen that inserts the data in the database.
The application not returns any error and any exception.

This forms contains progressbar

View 3 RepliesI have a filesystewatcher object. On it`s event it runs a procedure which fills a treeview with a data. I had problems with treeview methods, but when I run them using invoke method everything is ok. But I still have one problem. When I load the form for the first time, everything works fine. But, when I then close the form (me.dispose, me.close), and load it once again, when Filesystemwathcer start the procedure i have an exception "invoke or begininvoke cannot be called on a control until the window handle has been created" trying to run a treeview.invoke method?

The problem is that, when I call the "SetStatusBarText" sub from another thread, InvokeRequired is True (as it should be), but then my threads stall on the Me.Invoke statement - pausing execution shows them all just sitting there, not actually invoking anything.
I have win7 pro, on my win form is a traffic light icon(when it starts it is red, when finished it is green), so that I know when job is finished. But when I run application icon isn't changing and form hangs it self, can not do nothing until job is finished. Only in the end, I see that icon is quickly changes to red and then back to green.

I put this Code into a module and try to call it to start the Server side of the the applaction there also a Client but the Server side is done in a Console app but when i try to do it in a Windows Form it hangs once called to start listening. [code] i found this code on the internet that i was just playing with. its pretty neat but i cant figure out the program of the Windows form hanging issue.
View 1 RepliesFor my VB.NET application, I'm using the windows installer that came with Visual Studio. I can successfully install and run my program on any computer in our office except for one. On this particular machine, my program will stall for about 30 seconds before being able to load the main form. When I start up the task manager, the CPU is hovering at about 0 to 1%, so its not really doing anything but freezing up. It will eventually load, but it really shouldnt take this long, especially when it loads instantly on other computers. Now this machine is windows xp with serverice pack 3 and .net 3.5 sp1.
View 3 RepliesI am writing my first application in Visual Basic Express 2008 and the program conistently hangs (Not responding in the Task Manager) midway through execution. The operating system is Windows XP Professional SP3 running on a 1.20 GHz Intel Core Duo CPU with 2 GB of RAM.
The application has very deep layers of subroutines and functions, all of which are using lots of math routines. There are no recursive routines anywhere in the program. The program creates and destroys quite a few class elements, and I have written dispose methods for all of them using IDisposable, setting all the properties to Nothing. I also use GC.Collect() to force garbide collection, and GC.WaitForPendingFinalizers(). As a result, I don't think there are any memory leaks.
I think the depth of sub and function calls are causing a stack overflow, but I'm not certain. I have tried without success to increase the stack allocation to 2 Mb using Editbin.exe after reading some forums, but nothing changed. I then searched my machine and did not find EDITBIN.EXE.When the program hangs up, the background of the forms on the screen turn to solid white and the controls are no longer visible.It looks like a window pops up but it disappears too quickly to read anything. If I view the task manager while the application is running it hangs immediately. I have not published it, I am still developing and running it out of the VB environment.The more complexity (sub and function calls) I add, the earlier the program hangs.
What is Platform Invoke Service (P/Invoke)?
View 1 RepliesWe have a UI with a progressbar. I know how to invoke, safely, the control from which it was not created from a thread. there are threads being processed in a threadpool, all of which calls an "agent" (which is a notifier to raise an event back to the UI to then increase the progressbar). an "agent" is set as a property in a State object, which is then passed into a method which will be executed on the ThreadPool. so, I invoke on the UI the method to update the progressbar, but the bar does not seem to update at all (screen frozen) and it takes a very very long time for it to execute. without threading, no problem.

Got a proccess thread thats in charge of loading a listbox full of the first line of text for richtextbox items on form load. Though I use Me.Invoke(New MethodInvoker...) to add items on the main thread so its thread safe it coughs when the first line of rtf data are thrown at it, acting as if I hadnt called adding the items on the main thread.
Up at the class level:
Dim Worker As System.Threading.Thread
In the load procedure for the form:
Worker = New System.Threading.Thread(AddressOf WorkerDo)
Worker.Start()
[Code]....
I"ve also tried to remedy this using a delegate to invoke the listbox before attempting to update it, but the invoke method itself is throwing the exception. I am not using the default instance of the form (a new instance of this form is created). Anyone know how I can get around this? I can't load the listbox full of items directly in the form's load procedure because work takes place in the thread beforehand so there are strings to add to the listbox. I've got MS Visual Studio 2008 Pro and Vista SP2 (latest updates applied).
I am having Socket server, and I have two forms. One is the main form for the server and the other one is a custom made messagebox. When a request comes to the server the main form has to invoke the second form (messagebox). When the main form is open for the first time everything works fine. But when I close the main form without closing the application and open it again and request comes to the server the custom made messagebox opens but it freezes and looks like this:

View 1 RepliesI have a Tcp Client which I created on an application form but now I would like to create a class for it.
My prob is that when I check for any incoming data, I used to start a new thread. When this new thread finds any incoming data, I call a sub which invokes the form and everything works smooth.
This is what I am talking about,[code...]
How would I be able to do the same from a class? Or I dont have to create a separate thread when using classes?

I've run into a bit of a problem.. I am unsure as to how many people know how "IRC" Servers work here but basically, i'll explain. We are re-creating an IRC Client we made for our Chat site in VB.NET originally vb6. We have serveral different forms but the main problme we are having at the moment is FrmMain is where you login to the servers, it grabs your data from our MySQL database such as "Nick, Gender, Font" etc. Then proceeds with connection to IRC server on Raw 001 we know the connection to the IRC server has been established... so therefore we open up FrmAuth which in this case they can see roomlist etc. We are unable to get FrmAuth to load probably.
We originally had this working opening up FrmAuth before the connection to IRC server has been established.. This really is no good for us causes alot of errors etc. So when we use just simply "me.show()" the form loads but freezes we tried doing Me.Invoke(New Del(AddressOf me.show))
however, this didnt work in which I assume that is because the "FrmAuth" hasn't yet loaded the GUI thread therefore there is no Thread to invoke so we tried FrmMain.Invoke(New Del(AddressOf me.show))
This didn't work either i assume you cannot access another forms Invoke method?
we are receiving the error A first chance exception of type.'System.InvalidOperationException' occurred in System.Windows.Forms.dll which i assume has something to do with it but not quite sure..
So my question comes down to the fact of, how do we open up FrmAuth without it freezing? Is there a way to access the invoke method on another form?
Editing a Visual Studio 2008 solution (1 Windows project and 1 installer project) that has been working flawlessly.Recently, attempts to edit the Dataset (add/modify queries) by right-clicking the dataset and selecting "Edit Dataset With Designer" brings up the MyProject_Dataset.xsd window TAB, and initially displays "Please wait while loading..." in the middle of the window -- and then does nothing else.Alt-Tabbing to other apps then leaves "ghost window" stuff displayed where "Please wait while loading" once was... and editing queries, etc., is impossible.Shutting down Visual Studio will enable me to successfully get into the editor once ot twice, but then it locks up again.
