I would like to know what are the usages for Threading or BackgroundWorker, and their implementations.I currently am running a UDP program, but the server freezes until the client sends the packet, which momentarily unfreezes the server, and then re freezes it.I have looked at the MSDN for them and they seem complicated :l

Is there any way of not having to use these "proxy"-calls to the real method? I haven't found any useful information about this in the CLI-specification, which makes me suspect that this is a VB.NET "feature". Is this the case?
is it ever possible to write locking-features(for threading) with the language itself (this question is purely academic, I know no one will ever do it even if its possible (not me))?
A) In Java, is it possible to write thread safety functions with java alone, but without using any of the provided classes/language elements/syntax which offer this feature?
B) In C#, is it possible to write thread safety functions with C# alone, but without using any of the provided classes/language elements/syntax which offer this feature?

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.

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 would like some advice on multi-threading. I currently utilize two threads, one for the GUI, and the other for calculations. This works well, but I want to improve my multi-threading techniques. Currently the data is with the calculation thread, and this occasionally this will cause a slow down. I want to put the data on its own thread. Giving me three threads, Data, UI, and Calculations. This should improve responsiveness, and not be overwhelmingly complex.
My problem is, this no longer fits into the parent child relationship well. All three threads need to interact with each other. My question is, what is the better way of dealing with more than two threads, when all the threads need to interact with each other. Should I pick one thread as the ultimate parent, say the data thread (I pick this one, because it seems to me this thread will be the most free.) Then have the calculation thread and the UI thread children of the data thread. Then when I have a need for the UI thread to explicitly call the calculation thread, I do this through a function in the data thread.
I have an application I'm working on that is essentially an Excel workbook generator (special input files for our wireshop machinery). Therefore, it's process is lengthy.
Is it possible to build a Cancel feature while it is looping through its collections to process these files?
If so, would I need to implement multi-threading?
I have an application that I need to automate where at a certain time each day, say 6pm, it will run a certain method(which is to check a database for key terms and then access the api to search for these terms). But there is the main process which is running all the time accessing the stream api so when the search is complete, it interrupts the stream and hands over the new terms. Now I thought of adding the .exe file to windows task scheduler but not sure if that would work. The stream method runs indefinitely and at 6pm each day another process needs to run. I thought of using the system.threading.task TaskFactory but I am using visual studio 2008 ( I do have .net framework 4.0)If it launches using the task scheduler as 6pm with my code logic as follows:[code]
I see how this would eat the CPU...the streaming process is basically following a list of user profiles listening for new activites and storing these as XML files. This a real time feed to an API. At a specific time once a day, a second process needs to go access a database for new ids, and if there are new ids, then go to a search API and get new user profiles. This is the main criteria..once the new user profiles are found, the list that the stream users needs to be updated so the process will be interrupted for a second or just paused and then continue processing.
I'm just looking for other people's thoughts and opinions on the way I have done something.I have a console application which needs to connect to various computers and reset the local admin password on each one. I got it all working but then decided that as there are a lot of PCs, it would be a good idea to use the thread pool to do a few at the same time.The problem is, I need this program to be run without any human interaction - so I cant just use ThreadPool.QueueUserWorkItem and pass it all of the computers to connect to, because then the program would exit after it had called QueueUserWorkItem for each one because there is nothing left for it to do. I cant stick a Console.ReadLine in there because like I said, it needs to be run automatically without anyone typing anything.
View 1 RepliesIs is possible for the server to give all clients that are connected to it a separate threading starting from 1-2-3-etc that will be display there username on a listview. Server can now connect to any of them by clicking on one of the items in the listview.
EX: Multi-Clients Connect to server ---> Server gives each one a separate thread starting with 1 ----> Client sends username to server -----> Server displays them on listview ---> Server can now double click or whatever on the item ---> Pulles up thread count and connects to it.
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

'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:

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]
