VS 2008 Running A New Form As A Backgroundworker?
Aug 6, 2009
I 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.
Button Continue Click Event.
Private Sub btn_Continue_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btn_Continue.Click

I am using the BackgroundWorker to do the heavy tasks so the UI thread doesn't get blocked. While the BackgroundWorker can send values to the UI thread using the progress-scheme, how can the BackgroundWorker get some values FROM the UI thread?
Either by asking it or simply by the UI thread sending some values to the BackgroundWorker?
Just accessing a variable of the UI thread like UIForm.x within the BackgroundWorker does not work, it does not seem to have access to the UI variables?

I'm using a BackgroundWorker to perform some analysis on a separate thread. The BackgroundWorker is called when a user clicks a CheckBox.
I need to provide for the user clicking the CheckBox, starting the BackgroundWorker task, and then changing their mind and clicking the CheckBox again.I simply want to cancel the currently running task and set the analysis off again. Currently I have the following method:
Public Sub UpdateParkStatusAsync()
Try
'Debug output.
Console.WriteLine("UC_Map_ViewModel.UpdateParkStatus called.")

I have a VB.NET 2010 app that uses a backgroundworker to process MS Word docs. All of the code does what it is supposed to do, except when my code calls ReportProgress(). The UI cannot process the ProgressChanged event fast enough before the values in the class that are passed are changed. I know this because I inserted a System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(100) line after each ReportProgress() call which allows time for the UI to make the updates properly. I guess I am looking for a better solution thanThread.Sleep(100) since this adds to the amount of time it takes to process all of the files. Here are some snippets of code that I am using:

Is running a PHP script in a Visual Basic 2008 form possible? What I need to do is:
1. Add text boxes that would represent variables of the PHP script.
2. Add a button that would run the script.
Is doing this possible? If yes, can anyone please give me a very simple example of running a PHP script in VB2008?

This might be a stupid question but I cannot figure out how to do it. I am making an application used as a touch interface. What I want is to make a form in VB.net, ie buttons and a browser window and possibly some images. When I press a button such as next page etc. I would like it to be a new interface ie different buttons maybe a picture instead of the web browser etc, pretty generic. I can see how I can do using multiple forms but I am wanting it to be one application/one window.
Am I missing something as I thought this would be a pretty normal thing to do, ie having different UI's so when you click a button it takes you to the next page. Should I been using multiple forms and then get the form2 to replace form1 etc?

Is it possible to run a function or to execute a button just after the form was loaded? I mean to execute it just as the form_load subroutine has ended, so the form is already being displayed.

I have created what amounts to a progressbar which is launched using a backgroundworker. So all is well the main UI/process is doing its thing and the progressbar is ticking away. What I would like to do is update some text that is in the progressbar. So when the main UI/process finishes one of its tasks I want to update a message in the progressbar. NOT have the progressbar update the main UI/process but rather have the main UI update the progressbar.

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'm trying to do some calculations with the backgroundworker and display a window with a loading animation on it. The calculation is working but the loading animation isnt moving.MeasurePolygons is the Sub that does the calculations and updates the variables to hold the values of the calculations which works fine. Its just the loading screen. It pops up as it should but just doesnt animate

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 don't have muc experience with backgroundworkers, but this is basicalmly what I want it to do:
- Copy files from a list
- Add Succes/Fail to a listview
- Report Progress
Private Sub BackgroundWorker2_DoWork(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.ComponentModel.DoWorkEventArgs) Handles BackgroundWorker2.DoWork
'2 groups
Dim Succes As New ListViewGroup("Succes")

It doesn't copy the files, nor does it report progress.

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]

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.

I have a Windows form I would like to save the Ovals I created while running the form for use and review later I have been trying the SaveFileDialog but have not figured how to get my data out to the file that is created. I have read about using datatable but there again I'm working with that but need to find how to load all my Oval parameters into the table so I can recreate the current look of the form.

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?

I'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?
