I am busy doing a little project for myself, but seem to have hit a stumble block, and i have been on the net for days, but cant find something that works, so hopefully someone here might be able to assist me. I have a windows form, a xml document and a label on the form, i want the <description> node of the following xml document to populate that label, if needs be, i can change the label to another control.
I am trying to learn Background worker and have written up a very simple app to understand this process. My form has a
textbox and a label. When the user clicks on the button, it updates the label with the value that they have entered into the textbox(I know this can be done elsewhere in the code besides the dowork event, I am just testing and learning). Please help..I am not sure what I am missing. The label does not update.
I want to change the font size of a label during rntime in visual basic 2010 .net I have tried to change the size property of the font but it says its a read only property :
1) I am trying to use background worker to download a large file and update a progress bar to reflect the changes as the large 5GB file is being downloaded, and also update percentage completed to the label.text(lblInfo).
2) As I was goggling I came across some info that a web client is needed to calculate the maximum size of the file and divide by 100 and you can stream it down with the web client. Reading it is one thing, implementing it is another as I spent week trying to get it to work.

basically i need to change the text of a label where the name of the label comes from the value of a variable.So, for example,
Dim x as String = "lblTarget" Dim y as String = "Target Text"
In this case the text of "lblTarget" would need to be come "Target Text". Basically, the label that is named the value of variable x would need to take on the text of variable y.
Here's my code : VB 'Clearing the selected items of the listview ListView1.SelectedItems.Clear() 'Random selection of farms from the listview Dim random As New Random() Dim rand As Integer = random.[Next](0, ListView1.Items.Count) [Code] .....
I'm running it under a BGW and it works fine but is there anyone who can comment on it and make my code a bit better. I've a background worker and I am running it again and again on the RunWorkerCompleted like this VB Private Sub BGW_RunWorkerCompleted(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.ComponentModel.RunWorkerCompletedEventArgs) Handles BGW.RunWorkerComplete BGW.RunWorkerAsync() End Sub Is it bad coding or is there any alternative to run it?
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'd like to have a backgroundworker process data that will eventually populate a gridview in my windows form. I need to use a backgroundworker because the process takes a little while, normally causing the program to slow/freeze until it's opening and streaming connections.. So, I'm using a background worker to perform these methods.How can I take the data from the background worker (on a separate thread than the UI) and use it to populate controls in the UI?
I cannot figure this one out.. I have a background worker that will perform a task streaming data from some webpages. this data is then passed back and displayed in a gridview. It has been working fine.
I've recently implemented a listbox, which its values will be passed into the function that the background worker will perform as parameters, originally i had taken a single value from a textbox.
Now, I thought maybe it had something to do with the listbox, so I used a static value, just a simple String, as the parameter, and again, I get the TargetInvocationException was unhandled.. There's no difference in how I perform the task I'm trying to have the backgroundworker complete, the only difference is where it exists in my if condition statement:
Private Sub BackgroundWorker1_DoWork(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.ComponentModel.DoWorkEventArgs) Handles ScrapeSites.DoWork Dim results As ArrayList Dim worker As System.ComponentModel.BackgroundWorker = DirectCast(sender, System.ComponentModel.BackgroundWorker)
i have a standard login form that allows the user to enter username and password and click OK or cancel. I have a progress bar called pbLaunch with the visible property set to false and the animation set to marquee. when the user clicks OK i would like to run a separate thread called bgwProgress that makes the progress bar visible and fires up the marquee just to show that something is happening while form1 loads up.....so far i'm stuckn the ok click event i have the following:
Try Dim bgwProgress As New System.ComponentModel.BackgroundWorker bgwProgress.WorkerSupportsCancellation = True
I have a class that downloads a specific file from the net.This class uses a BackgroundWorker. I tried to implement kleinma's Download Files From Web With Progressbar [URL]../showthread.php?t=396260), but I'm having difficulties making it work. I'm including a test project, so if someone is willing to take a look at it, it would be great .
The part I'm having trouble with is updating the progressbar and progress label. The errormessage I receive is in Norwegian, but it has something to do with threads. I suppose I should use Invoke or something, but I don't know where to start..
I'm struggling with a thing or two...and i've read some stuff about the backgroundworker but im stuck Basically what i have is a : PUBLIC FUNCTION TEST (path as string) : which at the end of work , adds an item to the form1.listbox. That works quite nice but freezes the app. I've tried using the backgroundworker, the function in the background worker seems to work nicely, the bad thing is that i dont get any results in the form1.listbox.
I've wrote this code to accomplish what the image below looks like. This works fine for anything that is around 40x40 but if I try to do 100x100 it takes forever and sometimes errors out with a window handle error. Once it gets around the 40th column the labels start adding slower and slower. Is there anything I can do to make this more efficient? I added the backgroundworker routine in there to see if it would speed things up at all but it doesn't.

I am trying to create a tool which executes some oracle procedures and telnet commands. Besides this Job my tool also needs to update a counter in some table in oracle db at regular intervals(10 secs as per current settings). So I used backgroundworker class in VB.NET to implement this back ground job of updating the counter. My problem is I have put logs at every possible exit of the backgroundworker_dowork functions but still this logic stops working after some time --7-8 hours. I am not able to understand when/where/why/how is it stopping? I am saying logic has stopped because it stops incrementing the counter. And am saying it is exiting abruptly because in _RunWorkerCompleted, I have written a log and closed the application but nothing comes in the log and application is not exiting.

I have a backgroundworker that is downloading data from different webpages and process them to a datagridview.I get the Cross-thread operation not valid error on the first For loop.

I want to execute a few external apps, where in between a RichTextBox gets updated.. Say when program1 has been startet the RichTextBox is updated.. And when program2 has been startet the RichTextBox is beeing updated again.So what i've done so far is this:
Public Class Form1 Private Sub BackgroundWorker1_DoWork(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.ComponentModel.DoWorkEventArgs) Handles BackgroundWorker1.DoWork
[code]....
But when doing the above i get the following error:
Quote:
Cross-thread operation not valid: Control 'RichTextBox1' accessed from a thread other than the thread it was created on.
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:
I have written a public sub to update a label on a different form by passing in an integer. If I pass in the -1 value it will update the label, but if I pass in any other value, it will run the code (verified by stepping line by line) but the label won't update, even when adding the doevents.
Public Sub mstidlbl(ByVal cnt As Integer) SyncLock Form_PG_Collect_Master_ID_Label If cnt = -1 Then Form_PG_Collect_Master_ID_Label.Label1.Text = "ID: Paused..." Else
I have a label on my form and I want it to be a certain size, never changing, regardless of content. In the label properties, I've tried setting auto-size to false, setting the minimum and maximum size to the size I want, and setting lock to true. When I update the label's content via my code, it still changes the size of the label.
