View 1 RepliesI have a a main thread and another background thread that does some work (see below).I want to do something within my worker thread and then wait until some other event happens in the main thread before continuing. How do I do this? I thought I could use ManualResetEvent but I can't get it to work properly. I'm a bit confused about the Set, Reset, WaitOne methods and where exactly I should call them from.When the worker thread is suspended it shouldn't affect the main thread.

Ive got a container with a bunch of child textboxes stacked using dock top. My code updates the textboxes and they vertically expand/contract etc. I'm thinking that my code might run faster if I turn off the layout refreshing until all the updates to the textboxes are done.
I'm getting confused with what I'm reading about suspend/resume layout - do I need to suspend for ALL the child controls, then go through them all at the end and Resume individually?

View 1 RepliesI am trying to use a separate thread to handle specific events in VB.Net. The idea being that I do not want the main application to be held up if a particular event handler takes awhile to finish. How do I get my main thread loop to suspend the thread while allowing it to handle events when they occur?When I create a Windows Forms application, there is a UI thread that handles the UI events. I do not imagine that this thread is continuously polling some variable to see if someone has pressed a button. I imagine the thread is suspended until the OS tells it there is something to do. I was trying to figure out how to ensure that my event handlers were not being executed by the UI thread. From what I have read, I can do this by raising the events from a different thread. But what does that thread do while it is waiting for other events, just exit?
I wanted to know how to create a thread that works like the UI thread, only it processes the events I want it to process. I am not sure how events work in .Net. I understand that event handlers are run on the thread that raises the event. I believe that .Net allocates threads from some thread pool to process events such as timer events. I am not clear on how it works, though, and what those threads are doing when they are not handling events.
I have created a windows service in C# .net and now I want it to alert me if its going to shutdown. For this I make use of Dispose/Unload events but now I want if the services are stopping due to system shutdown process it will alert me.
View 1 RepliesI have a DataGridView that uses a BindingSource that has a DataTable as it's DataSource. If I filter the DataGridView by using the BindingSource filter on a particular column, then I change a cell value in that same column the row disappears. For example, if I filter my "Shipped" column which contains CheckBoxes to only show True and then I set one of the CheckBoxes to False the row disappears from the DataGridView.
I do not want the row to disappear until the BindingSource filter is changed or removed. How can I suspend the BindingSource filter and then resume the filter if the filter has changed? I want it to work like MS Excel's filter. If you filter a column in Excel to only show cells that equal "Apple", then change the cell to "Banana" the row still shows, but if you change the filter the "Banana" row is removed. This how I want my BindingSource filter to work.

View 1 RepliesI need something that will log the time the computer came out of standby, or the user logs in the first time from a reboot.
Basically, I want to time computer usage but in simple terms where computer is being used after waking or after rebooting.
So, All I need is a detection scheme. Does windows provide that? I am probably targeting .NET but can do Win32 API. Or do I have to do anything like that all?
I am thinking if I make a service, windows will handle the launching of the service and that way I can detect usage. But is that the most efficient way?

View 6 RepliesIt seems that there is a glitch in Vb, While having some tasks ( Thread ) queued using Tasks if you try to use Invoke, the thread do not resume when the delegate returns.If BeginInvoke is used, it works but the problem is that it become impossible to execute a delegate synchronously.This does force the use of the AutoResetEvent to control the thread.The problem comes when the thread execute some code in a other classes, using a single AutoResetEvent within many classes just give a very dirty code.
