VS 2008 - How To Run Infinite Loop In Background
Dec 30, 2010
I am making a program thats going to be an msn style popup for reminders. I made an infinite loop to activate the popup when the date = current date. However its stuck in the loop and I cant run other functions while the loop is running. How can I get the alert to go off while also running the program?
Public Class Form1
Structure List
Dim Name As String
Dim Day As Date
Dim Hour As String
Dim Min As String

Im working with and trying to run an infinite loop on a new thread which at some point takes action (e.g. make changes to Viewport3D). But no matter what I use:
- BeginInvoke
- Background Worker
- Timer
I run into problems. My porblems are:

I am doing all this in WPF.
How can I run the loop in the background and get it to affect the Viewport3D controls content without throwing an error or freezing up the application? A Viewpoirt3D is a control in WPF.

I am trying to create a program that the user enters the number of enrollments for 5 different campuses during two semesters. I just got started and here is what I have so far but when I run the program it is stuck in an infinite loop and will not go to the next function. I am not sure how to end the loop. Here is what I have so far:
Module Module1
Dim SIZE As Integer = 5
Dim campus() As String = {"Decatur Day", "Decatur Evening", "Huntsville Day", "Huntsville Evening", "Distance Learning"}
Dim semester() As String = {"Fall 2010 semester", "Spring 2011 semester"}

So I'm getting annoyed with this ffriend of min that keeps on asking for code off me for a VB assignemnt. Now I'd like to give him some code, but not the right code, (play a joke on him...he...he..). So thats the reason I'd like to write a infinite loop program for Internet Explorer. Would such Visual Basic program be possible?
I'm not going to write anything epic, but probably just the event handler to a button that keeps uploading internet explorer on a infinite loop after clicking. I know morally, this is wrong. I would rather be an ass than a lazy bastard.

I'm not even sure what I need to know. None the less lets say I got a timer with an if event to check if said event is triggered then it fires off some code. The problem is if said event is triggered it keeps firing off the code and I only need to do it one time. Whilst letting the timer keep checking if event happened. I hope I worded that right and here is a rough translation in code. [Code] Is there a way to keep checking if an event happened and only fire off the code one time?

1) Diff b/w nothing & string in terms of variable declaration.
2)Erase keyword.I have never heard of such keyword in mine whole 1 + yrs of exp.
3) Diff b/w functions & properties? I say,Functions return a value,But propertiesare used to set or get the values. He say properties also return a value.
4)How can we use a class as a datasource?
5)Partial Class? hey frnds above question is for C++ na.Or there is also such class in VB.Net.
6)When the error stack overflow comes?
7) How we can we make indefinite loop , without uusing any variable declaration.

I made a game in VB .Net that uses tcp and sends messages back and forth.What is happening is, every so often, the message cannot be sent quickly enough, so then the TCPObj.connect() method goes into a loop, until it reaches the timeout and then spits out an error. Most of the time though, it never gets to the error, my application just freezes, and then comes back after TCPObj.connect() succeeds. How can I make the connect() method do application.doevents while it's trying to connect? Basically, I dont want it to freeze up my whole application. Since tcp.connect() is a .NET method, I can't go in and add application.doevents.

I am a student attempting to learn VB.NET on my own. Today I wanted to tackle the BackgroundWorker component. I found an excellent article online: How To Use a Background Worker. I successfully completed the walkthrough and even performed the "adventorous" part that dealt with working with controls updating across threads using delegates.Now I came to a part that I didn't understand how it was working. To summarize the following code, I have a delegate that has a Label and a String in its signature. I then have a subroutine that is called on the worker thread. Inside this subroutine the delegate is created and (I guess) ran again so that it is on the same (Main) thread. Please correct me if I'm wrong here.
Here is the method is performed on the worker thread:
Private Sub My_BgWorker_DoWork(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.ComponentModel.DoWorkEventArgs) Handles My_BGWorker.DoWork

Code:
p = -1
Try
ListBox3.SelectedIndex = p
Catch ex As Exception
ListBox3.SelectedIndex = -1
p = ListBox3.SelectedIndex
End Try
Just cycles through my listbox without exiting the try. It keeps having an error causing the catch again.

I am trying to use a Web Service to return Json for a Collection of Users from a Database Table. I'm only new to .NET (< 1 week experience), and I don't want to use the UpdatePanel for AJAX. I have tried using the JavaScriptSerializer as well as Json.NET to serialize. Both cases seem to spawn an Infinite Loop.[code]

I wanted to draw a chart on a picture box. So I create a form, put a picture box on it, and then in the code of Form_load, I put a handler to the paint event of the picture box. This seems to create an infinite loop, judging from the behavior of the form.

This code hangs in infinite loop. Any ideas why is that? Is that a bug in .NET? Can I do something about it?

As you all know, If the dataBase requires a numerical value then an error will occur when the user tries to insert the incorrect data type. With the code below after the user types in a value beside an int value type then it will go into an Loop through more than what is needed. How can I apply the same logic but allow the program not to check the 60 rows (I set the row size to 60). I want to break out of it if there are blanks ONLY if a row is blank and not for a black cell, because if the user leaves one cell blank then it would loop through the 'for each' for how many rows that they is. Initially there are 60 rows.
MIS
For Each item As DataGridViewRow In dgvLaser.Rows
If IsNumeric(item.Cells(3)) Then
Exit For
Else
MessageBox.Show("Check Record Count. Numerical values only..!")
End If

basically add and remove text and selection information from a stack. Result: When using Undo/Redo the selection got messed up, the text moved, sometimes causing lag of epic proportions. I need a way of having complete and smooth undo/redo class for storing all information I would possible need.How to know whether or not to add an undo stack is easy, I just checked if the user clicked in the text or moved using the arrow keys. As soon a previous marking was given for "next text change needs to be backed up", it was backed up. At that point I stored the RTF and selection start/length. What do I have to store of a RichTextbox control to be able to restore it to a previous state, and how can I reset it back to a previous state? See it as having a "RichTextBoxState" class:
Public Class RichTextBoxState
Sub New(ByVal RTB As RichTextBox)
Me.text = RTB.RTF
Me.selectionstart = RTB.SelectionStart
[code]....
After restoring it must display the EXACT same thing as when it was saved as a state.

I have an issue that I can't seem to find a straight answer for anywhere... I have a For loop that sends a file name to a background worker that contains some long running code and I can't find a way for the parent thread to wait for the background worker to finish... Here is the example code:
For 4
BacgroundWorker1.RunWorkerAsync(fileName(i))

Im using Vb.net visual studio 2008. i have got a process(system.diagnostics.process) to be run in background and it updates the Ui thread progressbar and a label and i have worked it using backgroundworker.runworkerAsync. Now the problem is i have to work the same process for a number of time with different inputs.
The code block is :
Private Sub fnStartEvent(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnStart.click
Dim inputFolder = Directory.GetFiles(textboxSourceFolder.text)
Dim currentNumberOfFile As Integer=1
[code]....
The problem in here is the fnStartEvent method once gets started, it calls BackgroundWorker1.runWorkerAsync process and that runs in a seperate thread and does not wait for the thread to complete and it moves to the next line of code i.e loops to the next item and it returns to same BackgroundWorker1.runWorkerAsync line and throws exception that it is already running.
Tried
1.
Private Sub fnStartEvent(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnStart.click
Dim inputFolder = Directory.GetFiles(textboxSourceFolder.text)
Dim currentNumberOfFile As Integer=1
[code]....
But this does not updates the Ui thread used to denote progress.
2.Put the whole process inside the DoWork thread and loop for each file in there itself, but that to returns the cross thread error in progress bar updation.what is the standard procedure in executing a loop for the backgroundworker to wait for finishing as well as update the UI without blocking it.

I've been able to write a thread into my app which basically does a loop in the background perfroming detection for a device being added or removed.works great!i am trying to implement another thread to check for a file on the found device...but i still haven't figured out threading enough to make this work, the versions i try to implemt are either looping along with the initial loop or cancelling itself because its already running.i've been trying to put a variable in that would switch the thread off, but it doesn't seem to work.

I am trying to build a small window component, which has two buttons.
When I click on the Start button, my code needs to establish the connection to server and keep checking the status (this is infinite loop, I have a boolean global variable which is set to true and based on this loop will work).
When I click on stop button, it should stop checking (I will make global variable to false).
I have code to check my server status.
However, since it is kind of infinite loop, moment i click on start, window form is not taking any other actions, since the control not coming out of event listener of start button.
I have many scenarios like this kind of infinite loops.
How to resolve this, what kind of approch should i follow in vb.

Makes the following statement about the code below:
**"The computer evaluates the loop condition in the Do...Loop statment to determine whether the loop instructions should be processed. In this case, the inputsales <> String.Empty condition compares the contenst of the input sales variable to the String.Empty value. As you know the String.Empty value represents a zero length, or empty, string if the inputsales variable is empty, the loop condition evaluates to True and the computer process the loop instructions. *If on the other hand the inputsales variable is not empty, the loop condition evaluates to false and the computer skips over the loop instructions.
Based on the code I think it is the opposite: ...that while the inputsales value is not empty it should evaluate to true and process the loop and if it is empty it should evaluate to false and skip the loop?
See below.

Option Strict On

I'm a little out of my comfort zone here having programmed in VB6 quite a few years ago things have changed a lot since then.My issue is I have a class that I've built which works with no issues but I would like to be able to keep a 'handle' of some description on this class so I can also make adjustments to it's parameters when the user changes something. My problem is that I need to do this for an unknown quantity of these class instances.
In the VB.Net language how would I create an instance of this class that could be accessed by any Sub within the application and each instance created can be individually accessed by specifying some sort of identifier?
