Refer To .net Dll From A .net Web Application Asynchronously?
Feb 9, 2011
I've a vb.net web application where I'm referring to another vb.net dll by adding the reference of the dll and creating the object but after the call it waits for dll to finish operation and return a value before moving forward, is there a way I can do the same job asynchronously.
I have a program I would like to release, has 2 programs within it.1. The main program. 2. A resource utility.To release it, i'm going to package them both up using a 3rd party setup maker.Now, the question is this.I noticed in the snippets...theres 2 options.Update application synchronously or asynchronously. First, whats the difference between the 2?Also, could I utilize that so it'll update from the clickonce, so I dont have to keep repackaging it?Also, I want all updates to be mandatory, vs optional like in clickonce default updates..where it gave the user the option to skip.Reasoning is, for cracks, hacks, etc, if it is modified, and i notice cracks, etc. it'll update and replace any cracks, etc. No "skip the update, so the hack/crack continues to work".
I am writing a program for a class and it needs to read/write to an Access 2007 database. Right now I am referring to it's absolute path when I use it in connection strings, something like:
Dim conn As New OleDbConnection("Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source=C:UsersMeDocumentsVisual StudioProjectsProject1Database.accdb")
This is going to be a problem when I turn it in obviously, because the professor isn't going to have the same path. So I want to somehow include it into my project and then refer to it with a relative path or something so that it will work on his machine. When I imported it through the Data Sources it had an option at the end to copy the database into the project which I agreed to. It put the Database where all of the source files are on my computer, so I tried using Application.StartupPath(
What's the best way of running an arbitrary number of Load() methods asynchronously and then ensuring DoSomethingWithValues() runs when all asynchronous threads have completed (of course without incrementing a variable every time a callback happens and waiting for == 3)
I have a listbox of items that need to be processed, and I would like to process them asynchronously on a separate thread. (Never done this before).So I created a Delegate, a Callback, called the method that does the work on the listbox items.
I am getting an exception "System.InvalidOperationException": Cross-thread operation not valid: Control 'ListBoxBlah' accessed from a thread other than the thread it was created on.
Doing the asynchronous operation for individual items doesn't make sense to me because I am only doing it to perhaps perform a large number of operations (the listbox may have 20000 items) in the background while allowing the user to do other stuff.
I currently have a web application project that also includes web services within the same project. I currently have a requirement to call the web service asynchronously. Since, I haven't added the web service as a web reference within the same project, I tried to call the web service method using delegates and I see an exception "HttpContext is not available. This class can only be used in the context of an ASP.NET request" when I tried to access the Application property in my web service method call.
In VB .NET, when you call RaiseEvent X(), is the function that handles the event X processed asynchronously or synchronously. I was under the impression that RaiseEvent and the processing of the event were Synchronous unless created explictly on another thread. I've been told otherwise though.
I am trying to build a code to get the website asynchronously using webclient.download stringasync..I want to pass the data thus retrieved from dowloadstringcompleted to another function.[code]My problem is that I am not being able to pass on the values as StartDownload gets completed, while data is still being retrieved.
Now i need to do a few hundred/thousand requests all at the same time or atleast over a short period. I am assuning i need to do this asynchronously. I have looked all over the net and tested various ways to communicate asynchronously and am pretty stumped. None of the examples out there seem to explain how i receive the xml return as a string ("which i will write to file or db")
Does anyone have any working code to do such a process?
I am trying to call this webservice asynchrounously in vb.net. So on the aspx side i added this property async="true". Now on the vb.net code side i have this function inside my webservice that i am calling.So -
dim as as webservice.webstring as.functionasync(param1, param2)
im making a transport agent for exchange and am getting hung up on how to call a method asyncronously. Im doing this based on an msdn article but like usual they didnt provide the part of the code i need to figure out.the article is in C# but i converted it to vb in my project. [URL]I know I need to setup a delegate for the method and then invoke that delegate, but im not 100% on how to implement this.
[VS 2010 Beta with .Net Framework 3.5]I've written a C# component to asynchronously monitor a socket and raise events when data is received. I set the VB form to show message boxes when the event is raised. What I've noticed is that when the component raises the event synchronously, the message box blocks the component code and locks the form until the user closes the message. When it's raised asynchronously, it neither blocks the code, nor locks the form.
What I want is a way to raise an event in such a way that it does not block the code, but is called on the same thread as the form (so that it locks the form until the user selects an option.)
I have working code to read an RSS feed that uses:
Dim doc As New XmlDocument doc.Load("http://...") Dim channel As XmlElement = doc("rss")("channel") Dim items As XmlNodeList = channel.GetElementsByTagName("item")
Unfortunately the doc.Load call causes the rest of the program to become unresponsive until it finishes.What's the best way to perform the load asynchronously and have a callback function to process the data?Edit: Here's the code I've tried using WebClient - the Load method is still lagging:
Private Sub checkResults() 'request rss feed Dim w As New System.Net.WebClient
[code]....
The rssReadCallback method is executed fairly quickly after calling checkResults, but then the UI freezes during the Load method.
I have a flash video player embedded in a page which has javascript calls for it's controls, specifically calling playStarted() when the play button is pressed. I want to capture this event asynchronously to record when people are actually playing the video versus visiting the page, but I'm not really sure how to do this.
I was thinking the "hack" of a way would be to create a javascript function called playStarted() that would post the video ID to a separate ASP.NET page that would then record it to SQL (where I store my data on page visits and where I want to store my data on video plays.)
But ideally there is a better way to do this where I can register the javascript to the script manager so it can trigger a public sub asynchronously when it's called
I need to call a stored proc from a .NET web page which takes around 15 min to process. We do not want user not to be able to browse the website in the meanwhile. Is calling it asynchronously the way to go or are there any other recommended ways?
I've been reading up on asynchronous function / web pages for ASP.NET 3.5 (we're not using v4 yet) but the ones I've seen all focus on performing a background task but then still coming back to finish up and send the response, after the task is complete.
What I want to do is simply kick off the background task (in this case a call to a web service) but then return a response to the browser immediately - ie. without waiting for the asynchronous task to complete. I don't even need to know if it succeeds or not.What is the best way to do that? I can't seem to find examples of kicking off what you might call an "orphan" background task in ASP.NET.
I thought of doing it via a javascript Ajax call on the page I show to the user, but the information passed to the web service is sensitive, so that's out of the question. But that kind of illustrates what I want to do.
[ed] Another idea: Is there an event in the ASP.NET model I can use which occurs after the response has been sent to the browser and the connection closed? ie. So more processing can occur without the user waiting for it?
I have a function in a module that returns a datatable.I need to call that function asynchronously and get the results in the Main thread (Main Form) in vb.net.
All my paint calls are under OnPaint event of the form. my game is getting laggy so i was wondering if theres a way to paint images asynchronously using a background worker.
I'm trying to code a program that can download multiple files at once (on different threads of course).I have created a custom listview component that will allow me to add a progressbar directly to it.What my real question is, how can i take a url given by the user from an input box and create a new webclient to handle the download asynchronously and also report the progress without disturbing all of the other downloads in progress?
I have a bit of code that jumps around a few domains and adds a user to each of them. This follow is a piece of code I had to write to get around the issue of the .add and .invoke being ran asynchronously and occasionally causing errors.
It connects to the domain in question, passing a "CN" from the code in as a search filter but receives a COMException which is normally a LDAP sting config issue. The connection string in this is fine so I am not sure why it is having such a hard time.

A text file exists on my server machine which is constantly being updated (about once about 5 seconds). On my web page, I'd like a div to display this file live using jQuery inside MVC.
I have the jQuery timer working already, but the file isn't displaying. My plan was to get the jQuery to load a Controller Action every 5 seconds and have this action return a FilePathResult.
The script:
$(function () { var streamer = $("div.wrapper div.streamer"); //===
[Code]....
LiveStreamPath contains the path to the text file. I was thinking of creating a StreamReader in the Action instead. What sorts of implementations can I use to get this file to stream?
I have a program that used information form treenodes and put them in the textbox after timer ticks the problem is that i should use AddHandler for ticking, but i dont know how to refer to the title() and name() because they are not on the same sub private
I am amateur programmer.so far, I can use Visual Basic .Net only. That is all I know!!How can I refer to a MessageBox?or how can I Programatically handle a MessageBox after it is displayed?I need to close a MessageBox after certain time if no response from the user.
Is there a possible way to refer an object through it's name in Vb.Net?The case is, I have menu items created in my designer with names such as MenuA, MenuB and MenuC.On the database, I created a table consisting the list of all available menus in string format : MenuA, MenuB all the way to MenuZ.
Also I created a dynamic table consisting the user permission, what menu is accessible by a certain user.So when I started the app, it will get the name of menu assigned to the logged user, and start to turn the Visible property to TRUE.If it was a Control, I would just loop through it by Parent.Controls.Find(FoundMenu, True).My problem is most of it is not a control, it is an Item added to the Control, or even another SubItem added to the Item.So how can I found an object in my UI only by it's name?
SearchQuery = "SELECT menu_name FROM tbl_menulist menu, tbl_user user WHERE menu.id_menu = user.id_menu" QueryReader = ExecuteQueryReader(SearchQuery) QueryReader.Read()
Can anyone tell me looking at this picture what Value is or what it could mean/reffer to? (S-1-5-xx-xxx)I had to block out some of it since I am not sure what it means.
I am creating a project using VB, and I am new to VB, I am still a beginner, I need help in retrieving email address from database when I enter the username, I have added the code below, please review it and let me know, basically when I enter the username it has pull the email address and display in the label..[code]I am stuck at the sql statement as I have no idea how to refer the text box as the username i.e "& uname" it is the name of the text box, is it the right way, also then as I informed I need to paste the email address in the label and the name is label2, I am trying it as " label2.text=da" but I get a error message, I am using Visual basic professional 2010.
