VS 2008 Infinite Loop In Separate Thread?
Jun 25, 2010
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:
[Code]....
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.

Is there a way I can run a loop in a seperate thread and increment a progress bar each time the loop iterates? I am trying to run a loop that will take a long time to complete and I dont want the form to be completely crashed out while the loop is running. There are only two ways I can think to solve the problem. The first way is to run the loop on a timer. This is extremely slow. The other way is to use a thread.

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

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?

I am creating an IDE for a game script with similar functionality as the Visual Studio IDE (at least, some of it). The game script consist of code that looks visually a bit like C code. It uses braces to define the start and end of a 'class' and uses nested braces to define the start and end of an 'event' in a class.
What I want finally is to have two Comboboxes above the text editor, one that lists each Class and the other listing each Event. The comboboxes should also show the Class and Event that the caret is currently in, just like in Visual Studio.I have attached an example of such a script (you can open it with Notepad).However, here is a short example where you can also see how I "defined" classes and events:
class1
{
event1
{
[code]....
As you can see, the classes are the 'names' of each block of code, defined by matching braces { }. The events are the names of each nested block of code, also defined by matching braces { } but inside a class. There is only one level of nesting.As you can also see, the layout can follow the standard C-style layout, or a slightly different layout (using the opening brace on the same line as the class/event name), or even a completely chaotic mess. As long as the braces match correctly, the code is valid.So in short, the large blocks are classes, while the nested blocks are events.
What I want to do, is parse an entire script, and store all the Classes (and eventually, also all the Events, but let's forget about them for now). I want to store the Class name, start position (defined as the start index of the name), end position (defined as the index of the closing brace) and the full text (defined as the text between start and end position, so including the name).
vb.net
Public Class clsClass
Private _Name As String
[code]....
The code works basically by finding every first opening brace (the opening brace of each CLASS, not event), and then loops through the class (using a brace counter to keep track of the nested braces) until it found the last closing brace. It then stores the name, start, end and fulltext in a new clsClass and adds it to the list to return.

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.

Is it possible to start a timer on a separate thread so it doesn't block the user interface, or do I have to make a thread that I call from the timer?

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.

Following code is used in a .NET 2.0 windows service to continuously monitor a the table in the Database.[code]Seelctjob method will connect to SQL server 2005 database and executes the following Select query to see if there is a record with a particular status code.[code]This Select Query is executed continuously. If there is a record Start method will process further.I want to avoid executing the query continuoulsy. I tried using Sleep method and timer control. Thread.Sleep method stops the execution for sometime.[code]What is the best way of connecting to DB and monitoring a table at regular intervals of time without having much performance impact? When to use thread.sleep and a timer control and what is the difference between them?

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

I'm reading data from a serial port, but the DataReceived event of SerialPort is handled on it's own thread. I want to handle this on the main thread, but simply declaring an event and raising it still results in it being processed on the SerialPort thread. I'm assuming I need to declare a delegate I can call, but I don't see how that would work.
For example, I want to call Sub HandleDataReceived() on the main thread from the DataReceived thread, having HandleDataReceived() run on the main thread. How would I do this?

I have a few forms that have a lot of really intensive updating along with a great deal of user interface (text boxes, button clicking etc) Is it possible to open a separate form as a separate UI thread from the start up form that called it to "show" or open or whatever the new method might be?

I'm working with Windows 7 and my application is having some troubles with the SetWindowsHookEx API - everything works fine but when my application is not responsive (gets into a loop) the hook automatically stops (LowLevelHookTimeOut) thats because my application haven't processed the hook messages in time (In this case, mouse movements).When I install the hook a method called "MouseProc" gets the hook messages (mouse movements and clicks) the problem is that this method ("MouseProc") is on the same thread of my app UI - is there is any way to make the "MouseProc" method be on a separate thread? I have attached the class.When the user declares this class as new the hook is automaticlly installed, here is an example:
Dim WithEvents MHook As MouseHook
Private Sub Form_Load(Some Args)
MHook = New MouseHook()
'Mouse hook installed

But it's not really working.

I just finished up my space invaders movement and with all the other timers running it really bogs it down. So I think the best solution would be to make the timers run on separate threads. I know roughly how to do this from a old example I read a long time ago. So I just need a simple sample code to refresh my memory please. Maybe something with message boxes or something to demonstrate the process.

So, I'm having troubles implementing a separate thread. This is because I have a simple class, and in it I start a new thread. So, as it is not any form, I haven't found any way to make it call the function in the UI Thread.
So, I cannot use the Invoke method. Is there any way to call a function from another thread?

I would like my application to do something (in one form) and while form is doing that i would like to show another form to the user. Code is:
Private Sub blaa()
Dim a As New Working() 'working is another form
a.Show()
'Do some stuff
a.Close()
End Sub
But when i make new form i find it is on the same (main thread) and therefore new form also frozes. How to make new form on separate thread?
