I am trying to stop the following piece of code from taking up too much processing power of the PC by using threads. But I keep getting errors when I use threads:
[Code]...
I have a main thread which is designed to be a batch processor - it spawns a series of 'child' threads from a loop (which can vary in terms of the no of items) - see below
[Code]...
However, each of the 'child' threads could take anywhere from milliseconds to about a minute to process - depending on the complexity of each calculation. There may also be a large number of child threads - e.g 100s. Creating large numbers of child threads is not efficient. I therefore want some way to effectively queue each child thread (and cancel if the process is taking too long to complete). Autoevents seems like one way of doing this, but the only examples I can find seem to assume there are two different processes on seperate threads, not one process being repeated.
Until now, I have not create any massive applications using ASP.Net. However, I am looking to create an application that has the potential to be very performance intensive. So I am looking for some tools or best practices when it comes to performance. I would like to be able to know how to:
See my current performance (good or bad) View items that need fixing And being able to compare two performance variable items would be great as well.

I want to builda front end that storesprocessing infofor each watchfolder. The program would then read the configs and build the threads based on them. I cannot find a way to loop through creating the threads.

View 1 RepliesI have ran into a situation where it would be a lot faster to create a thread by the users demand. Basically, what I have is some kind of downloading program which grabs URLs from the clipboard into a DataGridView. Now when multiple URL's have been added, it becomes really inefficient since only one URL is being processed at a time.Now what I wanted to do is, create a thread for each URL. The parameter for each thread are the URLs which are stored as strings inside the DataGridView rows.[code]

View 7 RepliesI wanted to know how to make a loop of generating codes, that I create (from the push of button1) Like this:
Dim MsgBox As String
MsgBox = ("My code here, not a random one")
TextBox1.Text = MsgBox
I want the textbox's code to change into another code, that i want, from the push of button1?
I am writing an application to compare each item on listbox1 to all items on listbox2. If the item is found, then remove it from both lists. The goal is to only have the items that were not found remain on both lists.
The problem is, the application just hangs and I never get any results. I looked at my code several times and I cannot figure out what's going on (programming noob I know.

I have a module which performs a database intensive process (moves records from the current database to another database) Sometimes it can take a few minutes to run.What is the best practice for providing my user with feedback on the process and the ability to try and cancel the operation?Currently I have recently converted the module to Class which raises events as it progresses. I load a form, declare the class, then call a routine in the class to run the process, receiving feedback in the top level form?
View 3 RepliesI am currently using following code to estimate the size of the textbox:
Dim i As Integer, j As Integer, pGr As Graphics, sz As SizeF
For i = 1 To pNumRows
For j = 1 To pWidth
sb.Append("W")
Next
[Code]...
I was wondering if there is any way to remove the for-loops and do away entirely with the pGr (textbox.CreateGraphics) method and still correctly estimate the size of the textbox.If you're wondering why I am (actually the person who wrote the code) is looping through all the 'W', it's because (I think) 'W' has the biggest width and height in the entire character set, so the person (who wrote the code) is trying to guess the maximum area needed.
I'm redoing a program I made up a while back and need some help changing a loop. The original program had all the text boxes on same form, the redesigned program still has them all on the same form but I have them spread across multiple tabs and the background of the form.
The code below loops through each possible text box and if it exists sets the value in an array. This only works for text boxes not on tabs. I found I could change the Me.Controls to TabPage1.Controls and that would get the text boxes on tabpage1. I would like to have a single loop that can find them on any tab and off the tabs, so I don't need three separate loops.
For num = 1 To 61
For Each controlctl In Me.Controls
If controlctl.Name = "TextBox" & CStr(num) Then

I added the WMP control to my project, but I can't figure out how to make the music I play through it loop!

View 5 RepliesI recently began working on an application that was built by someone that is no longer available. This application is filling an excel file, but I can not find ANY code that uses excel. There aren't even any references to excel interops. My thought is that this a multi-threaded application and I can't see what is going on behind the scenes. I tried watching the processes in the task manager, but found nothing.I've never worked with threads before, and do not even know where to begin. Debugging the program with breakpoints at multiple locations does not show me any of these other threads. Anyone have an idea on how to find/debug threads of a program?

View 5 Repliesis it possible to make one application send a task to another application and recieve the result from that secondary app?i made a text editor program and i added a scan feature and i made another app that has ocr capabilities.The scanner ability is in my text editor program, the ocr program doesnt scan you have to input an image into it and it will give text result a few seconds later.the prob is alot of times the ocr code uses sooo much memory and crashes when its incorporated with my text editor, but individually each application works fine and doesnt take too much memory. Memory wont be even an issue if the ocr program is standalone so that when it is done decoding image the application can be made to exit. now here is the question, how do i make my text editor send the image to the ocr program and how do i make my ocr program send the text back to my text editor? is it possible? i mean the only way i know off is creating temp files in a certain folder and having a timer on each program that keeps waiting for temp files. That just seems like pretty lame coding to me i was wondering if there's a better way?

View 2 RepliesI have two forms running in the same application but on different threads. HdForm and DataForm. I have a class library whit datasets and a stack in it. Cause both forms (different threads try to rad from the same class library i use a synclock to syncronize. But it seems like the synclock dont work.I get random errors in the HdForm while reading from myAr dataset. It says index out of range. But i know for sure that the index exist (i have make sure of that). When i click on the visual studio play button then, it goes again.If the index was realy out of range then it couldn't go further. So i think the synclock does not work and thus the dataset is changed in time while im the loop reading from MyAr.

View 3 RepliesI just had a new, last-minute idea on to take on a task, so I am running to StackExchange for quick help.
What I want to do is execute a series of methods right in a row, each in their own threads. I want the application to wait until all of these threads are completed, after which the program will resume. It also has to use managed threading (thread pool).
What quick examples could you provide to help me along the way? If it's too complex, what things should I know about so that I can Google it on my own?
