View 3 RepliesHow can you convert DirectoryInfo such as a GetDirectories into a string. I can run the following just fine.
For Each m In Movies
lbMovies.Items.Add(m)
Next
But I really want to store something like m.GetDirectories.ToString into a structure I've built.
I had a vb.net program that uses getdirectories to get users directories, but it also get the other directories that original could not shown on file explorer like system or hidden,how could I program it so that only non hidden or system directories shown.
View 4 RepliesThe sub below will show all of the directories contain with a directory
Code:
Private Sub showDirectories(ByVal rootDirectory As String)
Dim rootDirectories() As String = IO.Directory.GetDirectories(rootDirectory)
[code]....
When I run this code I can use any directory as the root directory except My Documents.When I use the directory path with My Documents, as well as finding all of the folders contained in My Documents, it finds three extra: My Music, My Pictures and My Videos. Those three folders do not exist at all in My Documents. I have checked hidden files and folder and they are definately not there yet the showDirectories() sub says that they are.The exact error is: Access to the path 'C:UsersMichaelDocumentsMy Music' is denied.It's dened because the folder doesn't exist. I have checked myself using Windows Explorer!Despite this, when I type 'file:///C:/Users/Michael/Documents/' in the address bar of Google Chrome, it shows all of the files and folders in My Documents and, guess what, it shows the folders My Music, My Pictures and My Videos. But Windows Explorer doesn't show these! The strange thing is, for each of the folders, the last Date Modified was 23/01/2011 13:42:49 exactly. Each of the folders was last modified at that exact second simultaneously!I have 3 "ghost" folders "haunting" my My Documents. Is there any programs out there that perform "exorcisms" cause I am seriously freaked out!Perhaps this is the wrong place to post this. When I started writing this thread, it was about Visual Basic but now I realise it has nothing to do with programming at all.
I have this code that populates a Listbox. (works fine). [Code] Once the Listbox is populated I want to select from it and re-populate the same Listbox with new info. [Code] Only problem is I can not figure out how to pass the listbox selected item to the new path. The "&" is not allowed in my example (code error on my part).

I was messing around with the listview Control first,, And when i got it working i thought what's this backgroundworker thing,,so i read up on what info MS had on the MSDN page..and slapped it in here..and i thought i had it working ok until i tried to move my project application to the side to reply to a instant message i got..and then i noticed that it froze up .and looked like it was using alot of system resources,But wait let me back up just a bit.originally i was trying it with a fairly small number of items, and then i seen on here where someone had posted a rather large index for testing his app with,,and while trying to load that list that's when the issue was noticed i don't really plan on loading a list as big as that test index was but, I would still like to know why the program did what it did using the code below.I'm not really asking for it to be too altered, i kinda like all the controls i have in it the moment,, and the way it loaded as well.

I have some classes right now that I have that I reuse for Client/Server programming. I'm using Thread in these classes though for monitoring for things being written to the network streams and stuff like that. I'm just not sure if I should be using the background worker class instead. I'm also using TCPClient and Listener classes, should I be using sockets directly? I guess it would all depend on the flexibility I would need in a given application's specs.

I am trying to run a database query in a BGW to fill a DataGridView with the data that is returned by the query. The code I came up with works in that it executes the query & fills the DGV but it totally freezes the form & all controls on the form. Successive clicking on the form or any controls causes "Not Responding" to show in the title bar & I have to terminate the program from the IDE. If I run the query in a regular subroutine it works fine. Can somebody please review my code to see where I might be going astray? I've never used a BGW before so maybe I'm doing it all wrong.

I'm running some tasks on a BackgroundWorker thread and needed to display the current tasks in a label.Before adding the label, the tasks were completing just fine and the UI was responsive.Once I added the labels, the UI has become unresponsive. The issue, I believe, is the Invoke property.I've declared all my tasks, including the updating, in a sub and am getting the Invoke property of the label each time, in order to set the information.The following is an example of what I'm doing:
VB.NET
Private Sub Test()If lblTask.InvokeRequired = True Then Dim mi As New MethodInvoker(AddressOf Test) lblTask.Invoke(mi)

Ive read through tons of forums, but my Backgroundworker1.CancelAsync still isn't working.I have Form1 that shows Form3(see code).when btn_submit is clicked on Form3 it runs the backgroundworker, copies a file from one place to another, and shows the progress in the progressbar.Form3 contains: lbl_message, btn_submit, btn_cancel, ProgressBar1, BackgroundWorker1 (with Workersupportcancelation = true.)When i click on the btn_cancel the copy continues, so i assume the backgroundworker has not stopped.[code]
View 2 RepliesOf course, it's nice enough to unfreeze itself when the task is completed. I have must at looked at this code for 2 hours, and still can't find the bug.

I am trying to use the background worker to keep my application responsive during the calculations it does. All I need is one to calculate and the other to count time which I use a timer for. But when I try to use a progress bar as well as I want to see the progress it gives me an InvalidOperationException: Cross-thread operation not valid: Control 'ProgressBar1' accessed from a thread other than the thread it was created on. I need this to work, how could I use a component from outside the background worker? This is the background worker bit:

I am trying to make a graphics program with mousewheel-controlled zooming using GDI+. My plan is to provide rapid feedback, such as a low resolution render or even just a bounding rectangle, followed by a full resolution render as soon as possible afterwards. It seems logical to me to try a BackgroundWorker for the latter task. This is my first attempt to use one of these, or any other way of multithreading for that matter. Mousewheel events can follow one another much more quickly than I can render to the screen. That means I need to kill any rendering process that is already running and start a new one with the latest value of the zoom scaling factor.[code]The above class coexists with a DrawingSurface class, a UserControl which listens for the ProvideFeedback and ScaledImageReady events and paints the image accordingly. It also raises mouse/keyboard events for the zoom and other tools to deal with. My problem arises in the DO loop waiting for Cancellation to finish. The zooming routine works for one or maybe half a dozen renders, depending on the image size, but then it hangs in that loop and never comes out.
View 2 RepliesI have created a application that creates a windows schedule task that connects to a FTP server and uploads/synchronize selected files and folders from your computer. After the user has selected all needed information and click continue, a form with a progressbar (Marquee) should appear. The application will then perform different tasks needed for the schedule to be completed. When all needed tasks are finished i want the progressForm to close and the main form will show you a summary of the newly created task.
I run the tasks in the main thread and assign a backgroundworker for the porgressFrom. i have have also tried to run the taks in a backgroundworker.

Can a BackgroundWorker call additional subs? In my program I am connectiong to an OPC Server. I am doing some AsynReads, which in themselves don't take anytime. But Once I get the AsyncReadComplete returned, I want to do the AsyncRead right away. Basically I need to Loop them. The problem now is that while it is doing this, Everything is unresponsive, because it is just going through the loop. So to perhaps rephrase the question, If the BackgroundWorker initiates a process (in this case AsyncRed) would the returned AsyncReadComplete be apart of the BackgroundWorker or seperate Thread?
View 7 RepliesI'm trying to add information to a ListView from a BackgroundWorker thread. I thought I could do this in this manner:
vb.net
Private Delegate Sub _ListView(ByVal lvi As ListViewItem)
Public Sub test(ByVal lvi As ListViewItem)
[Code].....
When I attempt to run the "test" sub the BackgroundWorker, I get an error:
Argument not specified for parameter 'lvi' of 'Public Syb test(lvi as System.Windows.Forms.ListViewItem)'.
Is there something I need to specify when declaring the sub, or in the sub itself?
I am using a background worker's work method to create a new form and show it.

I'm using the following to check the state of checkboxes and then activate some public subs based on the checked state of the checkboxes:
vb.net
Public Sub TestSub() If Me.CheckBox1.InvokeRequired Then Me. CheckBox1.Invoke(New MethodInvoker(AddressOf TestSub)) Else Begin() End If End Sub
Within the Begin sub, I have code that performs specific actions and then updates a ListView with that information.As far as I can tell, the actions are being performed, but the ListView isn't being updated with the info.I'm calling the Test sub from a seperate form, within the BackGroundWorker's DoWork event.Would I have to check the InvokeRequired property of the ListView as well?I'm looking more into the documentation of the BackGroundWorker.
I have a Worker.cs in a ZScreenLib DLL that does the following: 1. takes ZScreenGUI.cs (a Windows Form) as an argument 2. creates a Background Worker object and does everything 3. reports progress to the ZScreenGUI form via BackgroundWorker.ReportProgressThe user can create as many instances as possible of Worker.cs class and do the background worker tasks Now I need to create another Windows form called ZScreenCLI.cs and wish to make use of this Worker.cs class because ZScreenCLI and ZScreenGUI are pretty much the same but ZScreenCLI has much less features compared to ZScreenGUI. My question is, how do you manage to report progress to ZScreenCLI? The ReportProgress methods are tied with the controls in ZScreenGUI form. Obviously there is a problem with the concept I am using
View 4 RepliesI'm having problems executing this command as a BackgroundWorker. I wrote a license verification program that executes upon loading so I wanted do that in the background so that the program opens up right away and not wait for it to complete execution. The license verification codes work when it directly loads but when I put it in a BackgroundWorker it stalls at this command. WebBrowser1.Document.GetElementsByTagName("input") doesn't seem to execute in BackgroundWorker. I put a test msgbox before and after this command it and the after msgbox doesn't execute.Dim ElementCollection1 As HtmlElementCollection = WebBrowser1.Document.GetElementsByTagName("input")
