C# - Running Class As New Thread?

Mar 5, 2009

I want to start a job in a new thread or using backgroundworker to do it but havent done that before and asking you wich way I should do it. My program has a datagridview with a list of files, one file per row. I want the user to be able to select a row and then press "Start download" to start a background job of the download. I want to get events back of the progress of the download.

I have a class clsDownload that handles everything and raises events back but how do I implement the backgroundworking?Should I use the System.ComponentModel.BackgroundWorker inside of the class or create some wrapper that handles this or use some other threading stuff?

Edit: I dont understand how to implement my download in the backgroundworker, any small example would be very nice. The example on msdn didnt get me far.I have a download class that has a StartDownload-function. Should I use the backgroundworker IN the class or in the caller? "feeling stupid"

Forms :: Update A TextBox When Running A Thread From A Class?

Sep 15, 2011

I am having trouble accessing the main thread (my form) when calling thread is running in a class (or module). I have no problem to manipulate a data (in a thread) from a form, the textbox can be updated using delegate and invokerequired but it doesn't seem as easy when the thread that processes a variable is handled by a thread that is running in a class.

IDE :: Partial Class Code Behind A Dataset Object / Is It Running In A Separate Thread

Jan 27, 2010

I am instantiating a form object in my code behind the dataset just to access some form level variables and to occasionally set a label in the navigator bar. Recently in the b2 Team version of VS2010 there are some strange errors thrown in the immediate window and then I'm tossed out of debug mode and back into the IDE. This code has been operating for some time in this project without this behavior. A team member has just reproduced the behavior in his development machine also.The error that starts the shutdown of the debug instance is this: Control accessed from a thread other than the thread it was created on.

BackgroundWorker Thread Communicate With The Primary UI Thread When Encapsulated In A Class?

Jul 1, 2010

A BackgroundWorker thread can pass data to the primary thread. It does it via the RunWorkerCompleted and ProgressChanged events, which I believe run in the primary thread. I would like to encapsulate the BackgroundWorker control in a class so that I can instantiate it more than once. But I don't know how the BGW can then communicate with the primary thread. If the BGW control is within a class, it does not have access to the properties outside the class. In that case, how can the BGW pass data to the thread that instantiated it?

what i currently have is the main form that then when a user presses a button it runs some functions that loops through some files and changes them and then copys them to another location the functions can take quite some time. what i want to is when the button is pressed it opens another form with a textbox on it and when it has finished 1 cycle of the loop is outputs a line to the textbox and tells the user weather or not it has been sucsessfull.

at the moment i have:

Dim t As Threading.Thread
t = New Threading.Thread(AddressOf Form3.Show)

Running A Thread From Within A Webservice?

Dec 3, 2009

I have a webservice with a webmethod that accepts an XML from a client via POST (don't know if this really matters), validates XML and the data inside, and then processes the XML and returns an answer to the client.At moment, I have a problem with large XMLs; it takes too long for the XML preprocessing to finish, and the clients timeout expires.Instead of increasing the timeout of the client I thought I could maybe separate the XML validation from the XML processing by starting a new thread after the validation which processes the XML and at the same time return the validation answer to the client.

Running All Threads Not On The GUI Thread?

Dec 7, 2011

I have only managed to use an STA to run a long running excel process with a background worker and 2 delegates.

What I want to do now is have the whole application running outside of the main thread to make sure the UI is always available, I then want to create new threads from the thread I have outside of the main to run the various processes. I will need to have some form of syncronisation in there for certain things to be done once a thread is completed and also I will need to change the button states on the main form to stop certain process being called whilst other processes are running.

This is my code so far, basically this loads in a csv file to a datatable adding manager employee ID and email address, filters it and displays the resultant data in a listview. There eventually will be some filter options as well. There are then 2 options for processing the data, it will produce individual bradford factor reports and email them to each manager or will produce a summary spreadsheet that is sent to HR.

Currently because there are around 8000 lines of data, it was the summary option that required the background worker as a long running process time out error was occuring whilst in the main.

What it does is write the data from the list view to an excel sheet and colour co-ordinates the summary rows according to the absense policy. It then copied bottom to top, the summary value the next blank column against all the lines for that individual and then uses this column to decide which sheet to move the row to, copying the row to the new sheet then deleting it from the master list and shifting the cells up.


This works well, but the process of loading the data in to the list view locks up the main thread where it currently runs. I also wanted to make this slightly more complicate as far as threading is concerned, as more of a learning curve than a practical application of the function.

Here is my code so far: [URL]

BackgroundWorker Get Values From UI Thread While It Is Running?

Jan 2, 2012

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?

Can Immediately Stop A Thread From Running .NET

May 25, 2011

I have the following code running in a thread to enumerate the local machines in the active directory. This takes some time to complete (about 5-10 seconds) so if the user quits the application before the enum is complete the application takes 5-10 seconds to quit. I tried thread.abort but because it is waiting for For Each SubChildEntry In SubParentEntry.Children to complete it doesn't abort until this returns.

Dim childEntry As DirectoryEntry = Nothing

Closing A Form Running In A Different Thread

Sep 6, 2011

I have form1 and form2. A button on Form1 calls a thread background process (below). That process processes the command and when its done should close form2. I'm opening form2 within the current thread but trying to close it in the background thread. This is because if i close it in the current thread it closes immediately. I included the 2 functions below and what I have tried in the inline comments. Form2 is a simple form, basically just an animated gif. It is to show the user that something is happening(like a status bar) then close when its complete. I tried running different priorities instead of different threads but due to the results threading seems to behave the best. I'd like to keep access to both forms during the process, the pc, and screen refreshes realtime.[code]

Communications :: Running UDPClient Within A Thread

Jun 15, 2009

I'm trying to use a UDPClient object to listen for all connections on a specific port. Devices on my network let me know when there is new data available so I can begin processing the new data, but I need to loop within a thread in order to continually look for new data. This is understandably a resource hog, and it takes up approximately 50% of my CPU load while running.

Get Information About What Code Is Running In A Thread?

Sep 25, 2009

I have a Window Forms application (using clickonce installation, running on a terminal server) that occasionaly ends up with a thread that appears to be running in a tight loop. The user doesn't know this happens as the app continues to run as expected. Also I have determined that I can kill the problem thread without any apparent affect on the app.

I can use Process Explorer to find the instance of an app with the problem and can isolate the thread with the problem but haven't found any way to look into the thread to find anything that would help me determine what is causing the problem. Does anyone know of a way to some additional information about a thread, like maybe strings, that would help me zero in on the issue?

Multithreading - Running A Thread From Within A .net Webservice?

Oct 17, 2010

Instead of increasing the timeout of the client I thought I could maybe separate the XML validation from the XML processing by starting a new thread after the validation which processes the XML and at the same time return the validation answer to the client. (the processing won't start if the XML is not valid.

Now my question is: Will opening the new thread increase memory usage? normally I would guess it will (for normal applications) but here I am returning an answer to the client and essentially ending the process of the main thread.

Running A Progress Bar On A Separate Thread?

Apr 11, 2012

I've made an application which goes through a long procedure when a button is clicked. I don't want the user to think the program has frozen, so I'd like to add a marquee progress bar just to show that it's still running. However, if I simply add the progress bar and make it visible when the button is clicked, the bar will appear but freeze and wait for the procedure to finish before it starts scrolling.

I know this is due to both the procedure and the progress bar running on the same thread, but the tutorials I've seen on getting a process to run on another thread seem confusing. What is the simple way to make a progress bar run on a separate thread?

Running Function In A Separate Thread

Mar 31, 2011

when trying to run a function in a separate thread, my reason for trying this is because since the application is only run on one thread, the GUI hangs when the function is called.[code]In this code, the Print screen Button is pressed and the function HookCallBack is called.The problem is that the function has variables that need to be passed and returned, and while searching, i found a website that had an answer for this, and it required the function to be put in a class, and then it could be run on a separate thread while still passing all the variables needed.url...But the code cannot be placed in a class without giving errors and it seems to me like i did something wrong. The code is meant to be used in a form and not a class.My question is, how would i go about running the HookCallBack Function in a Separate thread?
