Get A VB2008 Multi Thread Application Working That Connects To A Local Server Program Using Sockets?
Sep 30, 2009
I'm trying to get a VB2008 multi thread application working that connects to a local server program using sockets. Server requests for this particular system can be more quickly handled by a number of connections, so I've written some code to run any number of data request threads that I choose. The problem that I'm having is that the data returned from the server is getting mixed up and is often returned to a different thread/socket than the one that requested it. Other than that, it seems to work okay. If I use just one thread, then the system works as it should. Pls. see incuded code, which is heavily edited to remove all the other fruit salad. Is there any way to set up the sockets so that data returned to the socket/thread that requested it?
Module StaticDeclarations
Public WithEvents g_SD As New SocketDataClass(New MainThread.MTCallback(AddressOf MainThread.MTResultCallbackSub))
Public WithEvents g_MT As New MainThread(New SocketDataClass.SDCallback(AddressOf SocketDataClass.SDThreadResultCallbackSub))

this is my first post and my knowledge of Visual Basic is still in its infancy (this is my first real attempt at app that is any use) however I am trying to develop an application to delete user profile and home directory folders.
I have the application working but the problem is with the application hanging (I understand this to be due to it running as a single thread and the main form gets ignored while the deletion is occuring) during the deletion process, I have tried various ways to resolve this such as starting the delete procedure as a new thread but cant get it to work without the hang.

I have a console application (VB.NET). When it is started, it spawns worker threads to find work in the database and do the task, then look for the next task (A workflow basically).
The problem that I have is that I have my Event Handler in the main thread that spawns the worker threads. Those workers, if they error, raise an event to a public delegate. However my main thread is not detecting these events, and I cannot figure out how to make it. My intention is to do all logging (text/database), email alerts, and restarting the worker to find another task that is not errored. (This will be expanded in the LogErrorMessage routine and such, for now I am just keeping it a simple Console.Writeline so that I can see if the method is being fired or not)
Here is the code around what I am trying to do:
Logger Class:
Public Delegate Sub LogDelegateError(ByVal Ex As Exception)
Public Class EventLogger
Public Event EventError As LogDelegateError

I'm adding multi-threading facilities for the first time. I have a function that is wrapped to be run in a separated thread. This function retrieves data (text) from a combobox and it works for sure without multi-threading.
When I call it as multi-threaded, I get the following error when I try to retrieve the data from the cmobobox: Cross-thread operation not valid: Control 'cmb1stBL' accessed from a thread other than the thread it was created on.
It looks like a restriction of thread-safety... I assume that the child thread cannot read from his parent, to make sure that he doesn't change his parent data. So how can I read the data from the combobox? Should I read the comoboxbox data before calling the child thread?

i am looking into web services to be used for a windows forms application that i want to connect to my website and return data from my database. One thing i am concerned about is security. I have only played with web service a little bit but it seems to allow direct access to it by url and then run the service, showing the results in the browser. i guess i could set it up to accept a password in the code. i guess really if i have to pass in the query criteria to the sql from the application then showing the records in a browser should not be a problem. in my web application for the site i can keep all my web services in the app_data folder for no browser access.
i just need some advice in this area. goods, bads, other options if better. i don't have a full grasp on working this way from a client side windows application.

As we know, one STA UI thread creats the controls only canbe accessed in the UI thread in Winform application. And we need to call control.invoke or begininvoke to run the code in the background thread.
Yes, below code in VB.Net , VS 2010 Winform project can throw the exception "Cross-thread operation not valid: Control 'Form1' accessed from a thread other than the thread it was created on."

We would like to create a client-server architecture application that the server can control all client computers connected to it (e.g shutdown) and we would like to put a security login and a desktop lockeron the clients. The process of the system is that when the clients starts, the desktop is locked and ofcourse the user can't access the desktop unless he/she logged-in. And when the scheduled time (e.g 1 hour) is done, the client computers where automatically shutdown like the Time Logger Softwares

I created a vb .net app and basically it connects to the server (my brother's computer at his house) and sends messages. The problem I'm having is, we both have routers. The only way I'v gotten all of this to work, is by both of us connecting ppeo broadband and then our ips work, otherwise the "real ip" is used for all the pcs in my house. How can I connect tcp to him wothout him having to connect broadband. Because to connect broadband he needs to be connected to an ethernet port, so then he cannot be wireless.

Basically back in VB6 days, I created several VB6 apps with Access as the backend database. I'd package my Access db file with the application setup, which copied it on to a shared network drive, and then different computers on the LAN could use the same backend database file, and that worked just fine. With SQL and VB .Net, I've done work with a SQL database hosted on a remote server, so you can basically build your query string easily and anyone can connect to it from anywhere, and it works just fine.However, what I'd like to do is have a local SQL express database as the backend for a VB .Net application and make a setup program that can install it in a way that it could be shared on a Local area network, without the user who is installing the application do anything.
I know about building a connection string with the local machine name, but I don't really have any experience with including an actual MDF file with the application. Does anyone know how it works, and is it a better approach? Does it work similar to placing an access file in a shared unc path?I know that ClickOnce (which is awesome) can install SQL express easily on a user's machine. However, the key is that I want SQL express to be installed only on the machine that is going to be the database server in a LAN enviornment, and not on every machine, unless it is neccesseary. And then how does your VB app know how to build the connection string to access the database from any machine on the local share?

I have an application in vb.net which will connect with an hardware device and test its functionality. The hardware device basically spits out data continuosly through Ethernet. That is it recieves some data via com ports and spits out the processed data via ethernet.So my application does both. Thats pretty much the entire app.My problem is i am using tcpclient sockets. Now when i connect a tcpclient to the device using
tcpclient.open(ip,port);
Immediately the device sends some data which comes and get stored in the clientsocket. Then i send a command to it ,only then i read the data from the clientsocket using
tcpclient.getstream().read()
at this time the entire data that is the one which flowed immediately when connected to the device and the one that i actually need after passing command is both acquired. This is undesirable. I need the data which i read only after sending the command. So i was wondering if there is any way to clear the tcpclient socket before we do a read. The manual doesnt show any such method.

I'm getting a really strange error. I have a program that needs to run a thread on startup, and for some reason when I do myThread.Start() in Form1() it will crash with "program is not working" (But only on Windows Server, not on my local machine!). However, if I put the same code under button1_Start() it works no problem. What gives?
EDIT A little extra information: In my thread I have a line of code that uses invoke
Invoke(new Action(() => richTextBox1.AppendText(string.Format("Updating {0}..
", DateTime.Now))));
And for some reason the crashing goes away after I make the thread sleep for 2 seconds before it starts executing. Am I using the right method to execute code on the app startup?

This desktop app written in VB.Net within VStudio 2008 fails when one of our "power users" tries to run the program: Select permission denied on object 'AcctLogon', database 'MDS', owner 'dbo'. The author of the app is out for a few weeks and I am the "fixer" while she's out. Both of our logins for SQL have permissions for db_owner in the MDS database but our user does not. The user has a Windows user login for this instance of SQL. This login has permissions for the public role only in the MDS database.
