I'm trying to browse for a large file and copy it with a background worker but get the folling error:"Current thread must be set to single thread apartment (STA) mode before OLE calls can be made. Ensure that your Main function has STAThreadAttribute marked on it. This exception is only raised if a debugger is attached to the process."
Code:
Private Sub BW_CopyEXE_DoWork(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.ComponentModel.DoWorkEventArgs) Handles BW_CopyEXE.DoWork
Dim fullFilename As String
Is there anyway to reliably know when a large file has completely finished copying to a particular folder? For example, Computer1 copies a large file to Server1Share1. On Server1Share1, I want to do something AFTER the file is done copying, without Computer1 intervention.

I am having difficulty uploading a file using a background worker class...I've noticed that it is unable to transfer files like "mp3" ".exe" and others...although my application works fine on ".txt" and '.doc" and similar types otherwise it throws the following error following is my code for FTP...Also would like to know that the builtin FTP libraries are capable enough to make a FTP class application with RESUME capability? my files can be huge like 80MB to 100MB. [code]
I'm using "My.Computer.FileSystem.CopyDirectory(...)" to copy large directories (30-50gb) from one mapped share folder to another. Using "FileInfo.length" to add up all file and subfolder sizes, determines the 'origin directory' size just fine. However, if I use the same method for determining the size of the 'destination directory', mid copy, it returns the full file size, despite the copy not yet being complete.I'm at a loss as to why, as this method works fine in testing, going from a local PC t
Private Function FolderSize(ByVal dir As String) As Long Dim Size As Long = 0 Dim d As New DirectoryInfo(dir)
I'm using a background worker to read a XML file and do stuff in a database i get nothing in debugger but when i run it i get this error... how can i find out where and what is wrong? Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation.
I am using query from a SQLite database as the AutocompleteCustomSource for a ComboBox. Also, I want to load data in separate thread. My LoadData method works fine when called directly, but it fails when it is called from the BackgroundWorker thread. When it is called from the background thread, it throws a Specified cast is not valid exception on the csearch.AutoCompleteCustomSource.Add(hh("Taj")) line. Below is my code:
Sub LoadData() Dim connetionString As String Dim cnn As SQLiteConnection
Don't know how to copy images to resources file on VB and create background change button. I am trying to add my graphics folder to the resources folder in my project but I get some kind of error. That's the easy question. Now, I have a panel container in which I want to show an image that will be change about 5 times when I click on my background change button. What codes do I need to use for this?
How do you recommend I copy large files over the LAN (>20GB)Currently I am using File.Copy.Another question I have is how can I implement this class to be self contained, meaning that it would report progress to the object that called it? or do I have to define a delegate in the calling object?
Code: Public Class cCopier Private Delegate Function CopyProgressRoutine(ByVal totalFileSize As Int64, ByVal totalBytesTransferred As Int64, ByVal streamSize As Int64, ByVal streamBytesTransferred As Int64, ByVal dwStreamNumber As Int32, ByVal dwCallbackReason As Int32, ByVal hSourceFile As Int32, ByVal hDestinationFile As Int32, ByVal lpData As Int32) As Int32
I'm writing an application in Visual Basic Express 2008, part of the function being to walk through a folder structure starting from a user specified folder. In my research, I found this thing called a background worker which seemed an appropriate tool to use given the potential size of a target folder structure. I successfully installed the two examples from the library here, and believe I understand the principles involved. Even so, having tried to build this feature into my application, it seems as though it is not working as expected, and, as predicted, debugging a multi-threaded application is a pain in the extremity.
I have this fragment under my "start" button click event -
my backgroundworker as I just cant get it to work. Basically I have a backgroundworker which does a few tasks but I'm trying to implement a progress bar and a label. I'm going to set the maximum value of the progress bar to 10 and then have it updating as I move with each task, also I'm thinking of a label with the progress bar which will display the progress ie
I have a background worker that used to fire its RunworkerCompleted event when its DoWork routine finished querying a database and writing its output to a file. The bg worker was in a class called Query, which was called from another class called Trigger. A new Trigger Class was created for each monitored event. In this class, there was a structure which stored the config of each Trigger. When this event was triggered (set to TRUE) a new query class is created and it is passed the Trigger class. When the database query, file writing was done, the query class and all its rsources were diposed from the RunWorkerCompleted EventRecently I changed the application so that a new trigger class is not created for each monitored event. There is a single instance of the class but new config structure for each event. When a particular event is trigger, jsut the config structure is passed to a new query class and the sma ething is done in the query class. I just noticed now that the RunWorkerCompleted event is not being fired anymore.
I have an issue that I can't seem to find a straight answer for anywhere... I have a For loop that sends a file name to a background worker that contains some long running code and I can't find a way for the parent thread to wait for the background worker to finish... Here is the example code:
For 4 BacgroundWorker1.RunWorkerAsync(fileName(i)) Next
I have run into this before, When I develop a form to use a background worker to fill tableadapters, the background worker does fine on machines running Vista, but if you run the same thread on an XP machine, the thread gets hung.All the thread is doing is filling a table adapter like this.[code]Why would this run on a Vista machine and not an XP machine?
I have created a background worker to go and run a pretty long task that includes creating more threads which will read from a file of urls and crawl each. I tried following it through debugging and found that the background process ends prematurely for no apparent reason.
While Not myreader.EndOfData Try currentRow = myreader.ReadFields() Dim currentField As String
[code]....
This first bit of code is the loop to input from file and this is what the background worker does. The next bit of code is where the background worker creates threads to work all the 'landingPages'. After about 10 threads are created the background worker exits this sub and skips the file input loop and exits the program.
Try For Each landingPage As String In landingPages pgbar.Timer1.Stop() If VisitedPages.Contains(landingPage) Then
[code]....
Also my main thread runs a forms from where this background is called to run but the main thread is supposed to wait for the background process to end unless the user selects another option from the main form.
I've been experimenting with background worker to maintain responsiveness and to allow the UI to update while things are being done in the background.I've been having problems getting the background worker to do anything with form controls.For simplicity lets say I have form1 and form2.The background worker is on form1Initially I couldnt get it to edit controls on form1 but by using [code]However the problem came when I tried to get the same background worker to update controls on form2, in this case a text box. With the above code there is no error but it also does not update the text box.Is there an easy way to give a background worker access to multiple forms.
Is there a way to pause a background worker? What I need to do is pause a background worker when it encounters a file error, wait for a few seconds, and then carry on.

How can i run it as a background worker? so it can run in the background where it does not effect my current running function - basicly so the form will not freeze at all.
I am developing a VB application along with MS Access... When I initially load my form I need to put my application to sleep for 3 seconds or else data wont load properly. So for this 3 seconds I would like to show a progress bar displaying a message "Please wait" I tried using background worker but did not find any success... I have gone through many tutorials but for some reason could not accomplish the task.
I'm new for VB.Net 2008. I am facing some problem about how to make the multiple groups activities running (it might concurrent) based on their own activity's time set? For example: If there is 80 groups and 100++ activities in each group, can i use background worker (create 80 background worker?) to handle this (each background worker handle their group activities.) if in this case (But it will running lag or hang)
I want to use a background worker control in my application, and have it report progress to a Progress Bar It will download data and stuff, and I want to be able to change the text on a label.
I am trying to code a simple background workers class without needing to use the backgroundworker object on a form. This would allow me to use a background worker in any class without writing much additional code. Is it possible to pass in the name of a sub at runtime instead of hard-coding it? To do this I would replace onDoWork and onProgressChanged below and use (Byval onWorkSub as SomeKindOfObject?, Byval onProgressChangedSub as SomeKindOfObject?) instead. [code]
