Getting Refresh Dialog In Backgroundworker Reportprogress To Work?
Apr 14, 2011
I have a long running process running in a backgroundworker, and want it to report progress to the user, and update a checked listbox as the items are discovered. The reportprogress is called, and the statements executed (placing a break in the reportprogress routine), I can see the control valuse change, but the change is not reflected in the dialog. Here is the reportprogress routine I'm using:
Private Sub BackgroundWorker2_ProgressChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object,
ByVal e As System.ComponentModel.ProgressChangedEventArgs) Handles BackgroundWorker2.ProgressChanged
Me.newlabel.ForeColor = Color.Cyan

My BackgroundWorker works perfectly in my main form frmMain. But when I run the ReportProgress method in another module, I get exception "This BackgroundWorker states that it doesn't report progress. Modify WorkerReportsProgress to state that it does report progress." This IS set to report progress; this works fine when run the same way in the main module.Basically, from a module called by my BackgroundWorker, I want to show progress on my main form.How can I fix this? The only idea I have is to move the code from the module into my main form, but this seems a backward step, which would involve extra work. Am hoping there are easier ways!
Calling code in class frmMain:
Friend WithEvents BackgroundWorker As New System.ComponentModel.BackgroundWorker
Private Sub btnTest_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnTest.Click
' Specify that we do NOT want the background operation to allow cancellation
[code]....
Code which generates the exception in separate module Invoices:
Public Function MyTest() As Boolean
frmMain.BackgroundWorker.ReportProgress(0)
End Function
Am using VB.NET in VS 2010, with .NET 3.5.

I have a Worker.cs in a ZScreenLib DLL that does the following: 1. takes ZScreenGUI.cs (a Windows Form) as an argument 2. creates a Background Worker object and does everything 3. reports progress to the ZScreenGUI form via BackgroundWorker.ReportProgressThe user can create as many instances as possible of Worker.cs class and do the background worker tasks Now I need to create another Windows form called ZScreenCLI.cs and wish to make use of this Worker.cs class because ZScreenCLI and ZScreenGUI are pretty much the same but ZScreenCLI has much less features compared to ZScreenGUI. My question is, how do you manage to report progress to ZScreenCLI? The ReportProgress methods are tied with the controls in ZScreenGUI form. Obviously there is a problem with the concept I am using

Public Function DownloadFile(ByVal URL As String) As Boolean If Not URL = "" Then Dim wc As New System.Net.WebClient() Dim Filename As String = Mid(URL, InStrRev(URL, "/") + 1, Len(URL)) wc.DownloadFile(URL, "C:TESTS" + Filename) Return True End If Return False End Function
I am using that function to download a file. It works. But there are two problems:1# While its downloading the file, the app is sort of frozen like its in a infinite loop.2# How do I get the download percentage?
edit: My resolution to freezing using BackgroundWorker (thread) and using ReportProgress to update the GUI is here: [URL]...

I am trying to create a background worker that will spawn a dialog, while a long event is occurring. For example, when the main thread in trying to connect connect to a db and update a large amount of records, I would like to have the background worker spawn a dialog that advises the user to "Please Wait"
Here is what I have so far
1. I create a background worker using the drag and drop
2. Before the event that taking a long time starts I call:
Me.BackgroundWorker1.RunWorkerAsync()
BackgroundWorker1.WorkerReportsProgress = True
3. This is the events for the bgworker, all of which was enabled in the form designer:
Private Delegate Sub delCreateNewForm()
Private Sub BackgroundWorker1_DoWork(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.ComponentModel.DoWorkEventArgs) Handles BackgroundWorker1.DoWork
Dim d As New delCreateNewForm(AddressOf CreateNewForm)
Me.Invoke(d)
[Code] .....
4. When the long activity is completed I call this:
BackgroundWorker1.ReportProgress(0)
Everything seems to work fine, except that the newly spawned dialog in no responsive and appears to be frozen, until its closed by the Progress Changed event.

I have not used Backgroundworker before and this one has me stumped. I have run examples (this is based on one from MSDN) and read what I could find, but I just can't seem to make this work. I am sure it is something simple that is wrong with my code, but don't know how to go about troubleshooting it. What happens is that it goes to the startthread() sub dim the object and sets the two variables and then bypasses the last line that starts the worker process. I'm stumped.
Here is the original code that works just fine, but hangs up my app (hence the need to run a background process)Above the is an Imports RARNET to support this:

On my Winforms app, I have a primary form with a DataGridView bound to a database Entity datasource.
The grid is set up not to allow inserts. Instead I have a button on my form that kicks of a second dialog where the insert takes place (ie. with friendlier ui than is possible with the DataGridView).
The insert is working fine.. query of the underlying table in db shows that the record has been inserted. However, I can't seem to get the DataGridView on the primary form to see the new data just created by the second dialog.
I have read many Stack Overflow q & a's and tried various solutions to get the DataGridView to refresh to show new data.. but nothing works.
This must be a common situation ?? Can someone suggest some VB.NET code that will work ?

I'm using the IsBusy property to determine when a backgroundworker has completed. In the RunWorkerCompleted event I assing the result of the RunWorkerCompletedEventArgs to a public variable within the module where the backgroundworker events reside. The trouble is, the IsBusy property occasionally becomes true before the public variable gets assigned the value of the RunWorkerCompletedEventArgs. I experimented with putting a Threading.Thread.Sleep(10) after the IsBusy property becomes true and it seems to fix the problem. But it really doesn't seem right that I should have to do this. What is wrong here? I have placed the backgroundworker events in a component that is instantiated from the windows form, instead of placing the background worker events within the code of the form itself.
Here is my code;
Function SendAndWait(ByVal IntegerArray() As Integer) As String
Component.BackgroundWorker.CancelAsync()
Do While Component.BackgroundWorker.IsBusy

I've spent several hours reading through posts trying to make a data refresh/reload work and I can't.After adding a new record to the underlying table (using MSSQL) I need the datasource for that table to show this new record. My understanding is that using BindingSource.ResetBindings(False) is supposed to fetch a ew set of records and also update any control bound to it (ie ComboBox).Neither of this is happening. The new record is not there when using the navigator. The ComboBox does not show the new values either.It seems that this would be a simple basic command in VB, alas, I can't find a way to do this cleanly.I'm using SQLSERVER 2005 and VB.NET 2005. Controls are all bound to datasources...

I have a UserControl that has a ProgressBar on it. The purpose of the UserControl is to be able to show the progress % on the ProgressBar as text. To do this it uses the MyBase.Paint event. To make it work the ProgressBar is made invisible and the UserControl is 'painted' with an image of the ProgressBar and then the text is painted on top. The UserControl has a Value property that is passed through to the ProgressBar.Value property.
I use this UserControl in two places, on a Splash form (not a standard Splash Screen) and also on the main form of the application. It works on the Splash form but not on the main form - by work I mean that changes to the ProgressBar.Value property cause the ProgressBar to show its progress. The cause appears to be that in the Splash form case the MyBase.Paint event is called as a consequence of calling Me.Refresh in the Set procedure of the UserControl.Value property, in the main form case it isn't,
i.e. Me.Refresh isn't causing MyBase.Paint to run.
The main form has two BackgroundWorker components. The first gets called (RunWorkerAsync) from Form_Load after the Splash form has been shown. The BackgroundWorker.ProgressChanged event updates the Value property of the UserControl and it works exactly as intended. The second gets called as a result of a user starting an operation and again the BackgroundWorker.ProgressChanged event updates the Value property of the UserControl but MyBase.Paint doesn't run so the ProgressBar remains resolutely static.
Any ideas why it won't respond to Me.Refresh in one case but does in the other? Happy to make any of the code avaialble but didn't want to fllod the first post with reams of it. Here's what I think are the most relevant code sections. First the UserControl

I am running Crystal Reports Basic for Visual Studio 2008.
I would like to dynamically refresh my report based on a parameter.
For instance, I'll have a customer contract and I want to switch between customers based on a VB.NET winform button click.
I was expecting the code below to work, but I keep getting the "Enter Parameter Values" dialog box, why isn't it using the parameter value that I just set it?
CustomerReport1.SetParameterValue("CustomerID", txtCustID.Text)

I am trying to get a progress bar to update on my Form while waiting for a process to complete but could not get my progressbar control to update.
First of, I have tried to fix the problem for a day and a half now looking at various codes and examples in the forums but I'm afraid I probably do not have the necessary VB skills yet to troubleshoot my own code. I believe I will be able to eventually fix this after I am done with my VB book
I've attached the relevant part of my code below and the problem is that I can see my DoWork event firing off and changing the time and percentage that I want to pass on to ReportProgress() and the ProgressChanged handler. However, the ProgressChanged handler is not raised until after my Do Loop is done.
Imports System.ComponentModel
.
.
.
Public Class Form1
Private WithEvents TestWorker As System.ComponentModel.BackgroundWorker
[Code]....
Again, I can see the ProgressChange fire but only after my work (diagnostics) is complete so my progress bar is either 0% or 100%. In Dowork, I can verify that the progtimepercentage variable is indeed changing and ReportProgress is called but ProgressChanged is not being raised until after the job I wanted is done.

I have finally figured out how to download a file with background worker and downloader. Now the form does not freeze.. I have only one problem left now... How do I get the progress bar to increment in tandem with the data flow? I have listed my full code below. Towards the bottom where the DoWork() sub resides, I am just a few lines short of this year long goal.

I have a simple desktop application that uses a .NET setup project (.msi file) to perform the installation. On the first installation, everything proceeds in a timely fashion with good feedback for the user.The problem occurs when the user is installing the latest version of the application over an old version on their machine.There is an unacceptably long delay of about 60 to 180 seconds from the time the installer's 'Welcome' dialog [It's not the Welcome dialog, I've removed that from the Start section of the setup project and replaced it with a CheckBox dialog to ask if the user wants a shortcut on the desktop] disappears until the 'Progress' dialog appears. The user sees minute(s) of blank screen and thinks the install has stopped or failed.
In the setup project properties, I've got the 'DetectNewerInstalledVersion' and 'RemovePreviousVersions' properties set to true. So, I believe that while nothing appears to be happening, the installer is actually removing the old version. The 'Progress' dialog does not appear until the new version begins installation.I've been trying to either:
a) Get the 'Progress' dialog to display immediately after the 'Install Icon' dialog disappears
b) Show another dialog while the Uninstall is running to let the user know that the setup is still running and everything is OK.
I have been unsuccessful with both methods. I'm using VS 2008 SP1?

I often use the process of displaying a dialog from a form, with the dialog user input then used to update the main form without any problem. In a new scenerio I launch the main application screen, I then show a login dialog ontop of the main app screen and can launch another dialog from the login if a new user is required. The plan is to update the login dialog (updating a combobox to reflect the addition of a new user) from the new user dialog.
See code below :-
'Update login forms user list as new user added successfully
frmRoomBookingLogin.cboLogin.DataSource = Nothing
frmRoomBookingLogin.txtPassword.Text = "Updating password from dialog"
MessageBox.Show("The password text is " & frmRoomBookingLogin.txtPassword.Text)
[code]....
The messagebox implies the dialog has been updated yet the text does not change. Is it possible to update the dialog when using a setup such as Form -> dialog -> dialog? I'm intrigued as why the dialog does not reflect changes. I have never refreshed/repainted the dialog as never required to in my other examples when updating a form from a dialog and never encountered a problem when using a two tier form setup.

I have an assignment due this week in which I have to make a app that has 5 buttons and a picture box. When each button is clicked it has to show the corresponding picture in the picture box, the fifth button closes the app.
I have the whole form set up the way it should be, but I have no idea how to write the code to make the buttons display the images and close the app.I have the images in a folder within the project folders.
I have yet to be able to find one, the one I found should how to do it using a file opener dialog and a folder browser dialog but that is not what I think my prof wants us to do, as that is more for a picture viewer app that lets the user choose the file of the image they want ot view.
All i want is for the buttons to be linked to specific photos that are part of the application itself and have them open.

I have a Dialog that is basically a confirmation dialog on some SQL statements. After the dialog I have an if statement: If frmRelease.ShowDialog() <> Windows.Forms.DialogResult.Cancel then.My buttons are set as DialogResult = OK and DialogResult = Cancel respectively on the dialog form.
For some reason, sometimes my button set to DialogResult = OK is returning me a DialogResult.Cancel, and causing me to skip a block of cleanup code.
