Search For Files Recursively While Updating A Progress Bar And Returning The File List To The Application From BackgroundWorker?
Dec 10, 2011
I am currently trying to develop an application which will backup large folders to a specified destination. To find all the files in the specified 'backup' directory I am using the following code.
[Code]...
I have tried putting my GetFilesRecursive function into a separate background worker to run first so I can update the GUI however I am struggling on how to return the List of found files back to my application (I get cross-threading exception) and how to update the progress bar to show the progress of the GetFileRecursive function so the user knows it is processing the list of files and has not crashed/frozen.

I am trying to make a program where I browse for a folder and that Browse dialog displays user selection into a Text Box that part I have completed, when that user selects the folder it will recursively search all folders and subfolders in the directory the user has chosen and display that list in a ListBox here is the code I have so far. Also to note I have found a function for recursively search a folder but I have no idea how to implement it to display in the ListBox from the User selected directory.
This code is the code that lets the user select the folder and display it in the textbox
Private Sub SourceButton_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles SourceButton.Click
With SourceBrowse
[Code].....
On a side note I also want the list to display all the files in the folder as well.

I found this code on here to open a text fille, do a find & replace then save the changes, and the code is in a loop that will do that to every file in a given folder. My question is I also have files in sub folders, and more sub folders, and i'm not sure how deep it goes. I want to recursivly go though all the sub folders and do this to all the files, not just the files directly in the main folder.
Here is the code so far:
Code:
FolderBrowserDialog1.Description = "Select Path for files to edit"
FolderBrowserDialog1.ShowDialog
OpenPathVariable = FolderBrowserDialog1.SelectedPath

I have created a simple Backgroundworker process to copy a large file (30GB). Is there any way to report the progress of that file copy?
I'm using System.IO.File.Copy to perform the copy. I've seen a few posts/blogs that suggest comparing the bytes copied with the size of the source file but that seems like a huge overhead in this case.

By the way what i want to achieve is how to get the data as a List(Of String),because if i put the getMenu function into the presentation layer directly,it gives me the data as i expected..Also if i return as a string instead of List(Of String),it gives me the single data.

I've taken a few vb courses a few years ago but I've been wanting to write a script that will search my harddrive(C:) for any ".dda" extention and list the location to a listbox. I eventually want the script to also copy the file to the location of the build but I can't seem to get the first part working at all. [code]A first chance exception of type 'System.UnauthorizedAccessException' occurred in mscorlib.dll.

way to update my application executable, and a few other application files for a simple application updater that I am using in my application. The code updates the files (including the executable, manifest, and a few other files), but on Windows Vista and Windows 7 machines you must run the application as Administrator in order for it to update the files in the application folder.

I am using backgroundworker thread in my app. I also have a class in my project and am able to updated the user UI from the form, but most of my time consuming operation happens in the class so I tried to do an update like this Form1.BackgroundWorker1.ReportProgress(4, strname), but I get an error that say that the backgroundworker is not set to report progress.
I have this set in the load event for the app.Are you not able to call form items like this from a class?

I have some issues with background worker progress reporting functionality. I'm implementing a progress indicator and even if I marked the backgroundworker as report progress (true), it won't report progress until it finish the job.
The code is like this:
Private Sub BackgroundWorker1_DoWork(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.ComponentModel.DoWorkEventArgs) Handles BackgroundWorker1.DoWork
action_1()
[code]....
The result is as expected (label1 with 100 value) but only when worker finished all the steps. If I'm triggering a messagebox in ProgressChange I see two message windows at the end of DoWork handle.

I have a progress bar called pbLaunch with the visible property set to false and the animation set to marquee. when the user clicks OK i would like to run a separate thread called bgwProgress that makes the progress bar visible and fires up the marquee just to show that something is happening while form1 loads up.....so far i'm stuckn the ok click event i have the following:

Got a bit of a weird problem with a progress bar. I'm using a backgroundworker, which calls a "Process" function in a different class. The function goes about its business, and sends an update back to the form displaying the progress bar. What I'm finding is that its doing everything right, except update the progress and a label on the form. I've put breakpoints in to check the values of variables being sent to the form, and they're correct. I've also checked the value/maximum of the progress bar during the same break as I step through, and they're being set correctly.
they're just not displaying their updated status. I've tried refresh and application.doevents, to no avail. When the backgroundworker is complete, the values of the progress bar/label are as if I've never touched them! When the worker is complete, the Close button is enabled, so I know its finished. Anybody got any pointers/thoughts on this because I've been battling with this for a day and a half so far. I'm using the same technique as I've used elsewhere in the app to do similar backgroundworker progress updates, but this one refuses to work properly.

I have a VB.NET 2010 app that uses a backgroundworker to process MS Word docs. All of the code does what it is supposed to do, except when my code calls ReportProgress(). The UI cannot process the ProgressChanged event fast enough before the values in the class that are passed are changed. I know this because I inserted a System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(100) line after each ReportProgress() call which allows time for the UI to make the updates properly. I guess I am looking for a better solution thanThread.Sleep(100) since this adds to the amount of time it takes to process all of the files. Here are some snippets of code that I am using:

I am trying to create a small application that will pull values from a config file (which is working) and then based on those values will search through directories recursively for files with specified extensions. In the end I would like these files deleted but I also need to have the app write a list of each file that is successfully delted to a .log file.Here is what I have so far, the values from the config file are successfully being passed to the sub routine however nothing is ever written to the .log file.
Sub activeRecursive(ByVal activeStat AsString, ByVal rootDirectory AsString, ByVal fileExtension AsString, ByVal maxAge AsInt32) IfNotDirectory.Exists(rootDirectory) Then EndIf Dim tmpFile AsString = "C:Files.log" Dim objWriter AsNewStreamWriter(tmpFile) Dim allFiles() AsFileInfo Dim dirInfo AsDirectoryInfo dirInfo = NewDirectoryInfo(rootDirectory)

I've got a VB2008 application that can potentially generate a table with up to 540 columns. The table is then used as the DataSource for a DataGridView. With column counts in the hundreds the processing time can by over a minute. With all this in single threaded Form code the UI locks up until the DataGridView is loaded. I've taken time stamps of the process to find out where the majority of time is spent.

I'm running some tasks on a BackgroundWorker thread and needed to display the current tasks in a label.Before adding the label, the tasks were completing just fine and the UI was responsive.Once I added the labels, the UI has become unresponsive. The issue, I believe, is the Invoke property.I've declared all my tasks, including the updating, in a sub and am getting the Invoke property of the label each time, in order to set the information.The following is an example of what I'm doing:
VB.NET
Private Sub Test()If lblTask.InvokeRequired = True Then Dim mi As New MethodInvoker(AddressOf Test) lblTask.Invoke(mi)

I have a filesystemwatcher which place files in a queue when they are created. From the queue the files are further processed (xml into SQL database).
The mechanism works fine, but I want to add a progress bar to follow the progress of the files in the queue: processing 1 of 10......2 of 10......3 of 10 etc.For testing, I created a batch file to simulate the creation of files, so the filesystemwatcher can to his work and place the files in the queue. When I tell the batchfile to simulate the creation of 20 files, I see that the amount of files in the queue change. For example;

i have lurked on these forums before and finally signed up..i have a situation that, after days of searching the web, i have not been able to come up with a solution for.i have to fire off a function that takes a large amount of time (writes to database, creates files, etc etc)this function is a non-shared function of a class. if need be i could make it Shared.[code]the code works great, but what i need to be able to do is update a form with a progress bar as the job is processing.all of the examples i have seen that do this are being called from within a Windows Form and they access the form directly - i cant do that in this case. my form needs to be 1 form for 1 job being executed - can process multiple jobs at one time and thus i need multiple forms.i have tried making the form part of my delegate class but since it runs in the same thread the effect is it "freezes" until the job is complete.i have just started looking into using a background worker but again, all examples i have seen use the component as part of a form - that wont work for me.

I'm using the following to check the state of checkboxes and then activate some public subs based on the checked state of the checkboxes:
vb.net
Public Sub TestSub() If Me.CheckBox1.InvokeRequired Then Me. CheckBox1.Invoke(New MethodInvoker(AddressOf TestSub)) Else Begin() End If End Sub
Within the Begin sub, I have code that performs specific actions and then updates a ListView with that information.As far as I can tell, the actions are being performed, but the ListView isn't being updated with the info.I'm calling the Test sub from a seperate form, within the BackGroundWorker's DoWork event.Would I have to check the InvokeRequired property of the ListView as well?I'm looking more into the documentation of the BackGroundWorker.

I have been reading examples of using a progress bar with a background worker. All of the examples utilize a loop which is the easiest example of a progress bar. However there is the part of my code where I would like to use a background worker and progress bar. This part takes some time, thats why I want to use it. Basically its part of a DB front end where I am clearing oput 2 tables, getting data from another DB and populating the first 2 tables with the data from the first. Below is my code.
