VS 2008 Using BackgroundWorker.ReportProgress To Report To Different Forms?
Aug 4, 2009
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

My BackgroundWorker works perfectly in my main form frmMain. But when I run the ReportProgress method in another module, I get exception "This BackgroundWorker states that it doesn't report progress. Modify WorkerReportsProgress to state that it does report progress." This IS set to report progress; this works fine when run the same way in the main module.Basically, from a module called by my BackgroundWorker, I want to show progress on my main form.How can I fix this? The only idea I have is to move the code from the module into my main form, but this seems a backward step, which would involve extra work. Am hoping there are easier ways!
Calling code in class frmMain:
Friend WithEvents BackgroundWorker As New System.ComponentModel.BackgroundWorker
Private Sub btnTest_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnTest.Click
' Specify that we do NOT want the background operation to allow cancellation
[code]....
Code which generates the exception in separate module Invoices:
Public Function MyTest() As Boolean
frmMain.BackgroundWorker.ReportProgress(0)
End Function
Am using VB.NET in VS 2010, with .NET 3.5.

I have a long running process running in a backgroundworker, and want it to report progress to the user, and update a checked listbox as the items are discovered. The reportprogress is called, and the statements executed (placing a break in the reportprogress routine), I can see the control valuse change, but the change is not reflected in the dialog. Here is the reportprogress routine I'm using:
Private Sub BackgroundWorker2_ProgressChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object,
ByVal e As System.ComponentModel.ProgressChangedEventArgs) Handles BackgroundWorker2.ProgressChanged
Me.newlabel.ForeColor = Color.Cyan

Public Function DownloadFile(ByVal URL As String) As Boolean If Not URL = "" Then Dim wc As New System.Net.WebClient() Dim Filename As String = Mid(URL, InStrRev(URL, "/") + 1, Len(URL)) wc.DownloadFile(URL, "C:TESTS" + Filename) Return True End If Return False End Function
I am using that function to download a file. It works. But there are two problems:1# While its downloading the file, the app is sort of frozen like its in a infinite loop.2# How do I get the download percentage?
edit: My resolution to freezing using BackgroundWorker (thread) and using ReportProgress to update the GUI is here: [URL]...

I am using backgroundworker thread in my app. I also have a class in my project and am able to updated the user UI from the form, but most of my time consuming operation happens in the class so I tried to do an update like this Form1.BackgroundWorker1.ReportProgress(4, strname), but I get an error that say that the backgroundworker is not set to report progress.
I have this set in the load event for the app.Are you not able to call form items like this from a class?

I have some issues with background worker progress reporting functionality. I'm implementing a progress indicator and even if I marked the backgroundworker as report progress (true), it won't report progress until it finish the job.
The code is like this:
Private Sub BackgroundWorker1_DoWork(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.ComponentModel.DoWorkEventArgs) Handles BackgroundWorker1.DoWork
action_1()
[code]....
The result is as expected (label1 with 100 value) but only when worker finished all the steps. If I'm triggering a messagebox in ProgressChange I see two message windows at the end of DoWork handle.

i'm using two backgroundworker on two different invisible forms.One bgworker starts to work before the second, it depends on the cpu usage calculated every minute.
When the second bgworker starts to work, an operation me.invoke is called to show a message, but when the code reachs the comand, the system give me this exception : impossible to call invoke or begininvoke method without a form handle.The me.invoke method is called during the dowork fase of the bgWorker.

i have lurked on these forums before and finally signed up..i have a situation that, after days of searching the web, i have not been able to come up with a solution for.i have to fire off a function that takes a large amount of time (writes to database, creates files, etc etc)this function is a non-shared function of a class. if need be i could make it Shared.[code]the code works great, but what i need to be able to do is update a form with a progress bar as the job is processing.all of the examples i have seen that do this are being called from within a Windows Form and they access the form directly - i cant do that in this case. my form needs to be 1 form for 1 job being executed - can process multiple jobs at one time and thus i need multiple forms.i have tried making the form part of my delegate class but since it runs in the same thread the effect is it "freezes" until the job is complete.i have just started looking into using a background worker but again, all examples i have seen use the component as part of a form - that wont work for me.

I am trying to get a progress bar to update on my Form while waiting for a process to complete but could not get my progressbar control to update.
First of, I have tried to fix the problem for a day and a half now looking at various codes and examples in the forums but I'm afraid I probably do not have the necessary VB skills yet to troubleshoot my own code. I believe I will be able to eventually fix this after I am done with my VB book
I've attached the relevant part of my code below and the problem is that I can see my DoWork event firing off and changing the time and percentage that I want to pass on to ReportProgress() and the ProgressChanged handler. However, the ProgressChanged handler is not raised until after my Do Loop is done.
Imports System.ComponentModel
.
.
.
Public Class Form1
Private WithEvents TestWorker As System.ComponentModel.BackgroundWorker
[Code]....
Again, I can see the ProgressChange fire but only after my work (diagnostics) is complete so my progress bar is either 0% or 100%. In Dowork, I can verify that the progtimepercentage variable is indeed changing and ReportProgress is called but ProgressChanged is not being raised until after the job I wanted is done.

I have finally figured out how to download a file with background worker and downloader. Now the form does not freeze.. I have only one problem left now... How do I get the progress bar to increment in tandem with the data flow? I have listed my full code below. Towards the bottom where the DoWork() sub resides, I am just a few lines short of this year long goal.

I am new to Visual Basic (I currently have VB 2008 Express to play with) and have a question about automating MS Access applications.I have a number of MS access applications that interact with MS Excel, Windows commands and Adobe writer.The applications have multiple forms that require input and/or selection from dropdown list which are repeated for 15 different selections manually.Rather than change the application can I write something in VB to perform the manual process of filling foelds and clicking buttons? e.g. I can open a DB, display a form and then this requires two fields to have a date input, then a new form loads and a dropdown is selected. This is used to generate a report.I can see how to run the report and load forms, but can/how do I update the fields in the form.

how I can reference a report variable in the Report Properties Code Window of a local report? I have tried Variables!Claimant.Value (for a variable called Claimant) but I get an error "Reference to a non-shared member requires an object reference." I have tried qualifying it with Report. and also with the report name in front of it but I get errors with this also.I have the variable CLaimant defined in the Variables section of the Report Properties.

I just got into VB 2010 with SQL 2008 Server Report. I was able to create a report as my wish and it's vieable via direct url (URL). But I want to pass login Information and Selection parameters to the report. But I don't want to pass them thru URL, So I want to load them from the application (winform) and launch the report in iexplorer.

How do run processes synchronously from a thread or backgroundworker thread? Is it even possible?We have program that allows the user to download several files from a remote server, compress them, and then email the files.It has several long running processes that must run in order. We want these to run on a separate thread so as not to make the form unresponsive. Does a way exist to do this? We attempted a rather clumsy way of approaching this problem by using background worker threads. When each thread is completed and returned back to RunWorkerCompleted, we start another background worker thread and repeat the the next process. It works somewhat but seems to take a lot of resources to run.

I have a form that runs a report to pull info. (Not sure if this is even the correct subforum to put this on)And what this query is supposed to do pull info from combo box based on the start and ending numbers of orders for customers, but what I want to do is default the ending number to be what the starting number was as soon as the starting number is entered, but allow the user to change that if they want. I just want to make sure that it has a value. I tried to set the field to required, but that doesn't seem to be doing the trick.

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.
