How To Run Multiple Threads With BackgroundWorker

Jan 13, 2010

I am writing a project in Visual Basic where I need to run several instances of the same method in parallel. I can do this using BackgrooundWorker by having several (4) copies of my code module (modules 1, 2, 3 and 4) with a call to background worker in each. I then have a Main form which invoke the 4 modules which setup 4 simultaneous background threads. Seeing as the code is the same I want to simply invoke the same module 4 times.

However when I do this I get an error from Backgroounworker that it is already busy. As I understand it this means that it is being shared. However, I have specifically instantiated it as "private" (private with events worker as new backgroundworker). I have tried running the same code in a Class instead of a Module but unless I make it public I have no way of invoking it from Main. I need to be able to pass each thread data from main for it to work on and if the class is private I cant invoke it.

Multiple Parameters With Backgroundworker?

Jul 28, 2006

After searching thru BOL and various forums, I've been unable to determine how to use a backgroundworker component with a procedure that contains multiple parameters. If I understand correctly, DoWorkEventArgs is used to pass parameters. However, all the examples I have found use only one. Since DoWorkEventArgs ends in an "s", I imagine it is possible to use more than one parameter.

App Will Sign Up For Multiple Sites - BackgroundWorker Or WebBrowser?

May 16, 2011

I have an app that is needs to access multiple web sites and sign up for accounts. I don't want to run them one by one as this would be slow as christmas so I figured that I could setup some sort of background worker and put each process on it's own thread that way the app could run each sign up page at the same time. Would using background worker be the "BEST" option to use for this type of application requirement?

Backgroundworker - Multiple Background Workers - Only Last Task Completes?

Jan 26, 2011

I have been pulling my hair out trying to get this to work. If I step through the code in debugger it all works great. My problem is if I just run it, only the last task responds. I'm guessing I am overwriting the background working or something. I am sure I am doing a few things wrong but my code is now messy as I tried many way while searching. I know of the threadpool and .Net 4.0 tasks but having a hard time getting to do what I need.

Basicly I am writing a program (trying more likely) that takes a list of computers and pings then, then checks their uptime and reports back.This works fine in the UI thread (Obviously that locks up my screen). I can have the background worker just do this, but then it does each computer 1 by one, and while the screen is responsive it still takes a long time.

So my answer was to have a for loop for each server launching a new background worker thread. My solution does not work.I have seen other threads that I could do it, but I need to use with events to call code to update to UI when each is done.

What is the most simple way to do this?

Here is my code. Most is just copy paste + modify till I get it working right.

So In the main class I have the testworker.

(I tried using Testworker() but it said I could not do that WithEvents)

When I click the button the list loads.

Private WithEvents TestWorker As System.ComponentModel.BackgroundWorker

Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.RoutedEventArgs) Handles Button1.Click

Call Same BackgroundWorker Multiple Times Without Using Application.DoEvents

Mar 4, 2010

I'm running in to a problem that I was able to fix with Application.DoEvents, but don't want to leave that in because it might introduce all sorts of nasty problems. Background: Our app is primarily a desktop app that makes many calls to a web service. We control everything but changes to the overall system design are not going to be seriously considered. One of those calls, Calculate, is used very often, and occasionally can take a few minutes to process all the data to return valid results.

Winforms - Uploading Multiple Files With .Net?

Nov 26, 2009

I need to upload multiple files in a winforms application. So far I've been using a webclient and while this is working fine I'm wondering if there is a better way for doing this. Does the webclient make a new connection for every request or does the connection persists between uploads?

Dim Ftpclient As New System.Net.WebClient()Ftpclient.Credentials = New System.Net.NetworkCredential(username, password)

Dim Files As New Dictionary(Of String, String)Fill dictionary with items for upload here

For Each RemoteFile As String In Files.Keys Ftpclient.UploadFile(RemoteFile, Files(RemoteFile))Next

Winforms - .net Activated Fires Multiple Times?

Sep 22, 2011

I want to update a database based on the form that is currently activated. I had originally decided to use the GotFocus event. However I now understand that will not work as the form has controls on it. So I then thought I wouls use the activated event. This works but seems to fire multiple times. I put in the following code:

Private Sub frmNewTicket_Activated(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Activated
MsgBox("Form Activated")
End Sub

I select the form and make it activated and the message box appears about 15 times.Why does it do this? How should I handle this. I only want my code to execute once when the form is activated.NOTE: There are several forms that the users will be changing between, incuding forms from other applications.

WinForms Clearing Multiple Textboxes With One Command?

I have several textboxes in a form, and have a button which inserts all the values in a Database and I have to clear the content of all the textboxes and focus to the first one right after pressing the button.Now I can easily do that using the Clear method of each of the textboxes but it takes 10-12 lines of code just for that. Can I do that in one go?

I am trying to add multiple files to FTP server by dragging and dropping and I am able to do that using try catch block and if we give the ftp settings correctly it takes 1 sec to upload them but when we give wrong details it hangs up and dosen't give me any error message though If I give an exceptional message.

Now I am getting error message as well as success message for every file I add.I do not want that to be happen.where should I give messages for success and failure so that it should take few seconds for uploading and if not should give me a message immediately.

Here is my code:

IDE :: Set Project Default For Winforms Projects S/ Default Modifier For Controls Added To Winforms Is Private

May 28, 2010

Is it possible to set a project default for VB.NET winforms projects so that the default Modifier for controls added to winforms is Private (not Friend)?I know there's a "modifiers" property in the properties window so I can set it for each individual control however I would like to change the project so from now on myself and other developers have to specifically decide to change from friend to private. (Which I would strongly discourage them from doing).I believe there is no way of doing this, but on another forum a while ago someone mentioned it would be possible with an add-in (but didn't name the add-in or where to get it).

.net - Lockwindowupdate And Backgroundworker?

Sep 8, 2010

I've got a bit of a problem, I'm using a backgroundworker to do a lot of processing and it adds items to a listview with: AddListItem(ListView1, listItem)

Here is the delegate code to send the command to the listview outside of the thread:

Delegate Sub AddListItem_Delegate(ByVal [ListView] As ListView, ByVal [text] As Object)
Private Sub AddListItem(ByVal [ListView] As ListView, ByVal [text] As ListViewItem)

[Code]...

The problem is, as you might imagine, flickering of the listview. Can anyone help me out with a solution to execute a LockWindowUpdate(Me.Handle) command in the backgroundworker? I've tried creating a new delegate but it's not working (errors, I don't understand vb.net enough).

.net - Use One BackgroundWorker To Do Different Activities?

Mar 11, 2011

I am programming using VB.NET 2005. I am using a BackgroundWorker to load a large list or text file and process it.

Is it possible to use the same background worker to process something else, i.e. to process the text file that was loaded? somthing like

Dim bwkMain as New BackgroundWorker()

If its possible, how do I implement it in the same form as I have already implemented for the first one?

EDIT The question is: is it possible to use the same BackgroundWorker for another task, after it finishes one task?

.Net BackgroundWorker Hangs Up?

Mar 21, 2011

I have limited experience in VB.net and have become stuck. I have tried to search for answers on other threads without success.I have an application that displays real time data.Queries are made to a MySQL database on another PC over the internet every 10 seconds to gather the most recent data.I have done the query within a BackgroundWorker so that the GUI is still responsive while the query is answered.What I've done works great for several hours or maybe for a couple of days but then the DoWork task appears to hang.

The code I'm using is to run the background worker is:

vb
If Not(backgroundWorker1.IsBusy) Then Me.backgroundWorker1.RunWorkerAsync() End If

The backgroundWorker runs just once and there's very little code in the DoWork routine:

vb
Private Sub backgroundWorker1_DoWork(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.ComponentModel.DoWorkEventArgs) Handles backgroundWorker1.DoWork rs = New

[code].....

Is there anyway I can set up a timeout on the maximum allowed time that the DoWork task can be active for? And if so how would I then go on to stop the backgroundWorker?I understand that CancelAsync isn't going to help as my DoWork task is not repeating as it runs once only, then stops and 10 secs later I run it again.

BackgroundWorker - Get Two Different RunWorkerCompleted?

1. In BackgroundWorker1_DoWork method i use some time-consuming operation which at end sets two global variables.

2. In BackgroundWorker1_RunWorkerCompleted method I use some Select case statment based on that two global variables that are not the same for ToolstripButton1 and ToolstripButton2.

However, I am completely stuck as I cant get BackgroundWorker to return anything other than a true or false when it completes. I am used to PHP now, until a few weeks ago it had been 5 years since I last used VB ( and it was vb6) so I am rusty.

BackgroundWorker And Non Responsive GUI?

Sep 19, 2010

I cannot make it work. I'm a beginner, and not being sure what's really relevant I'll say I'm using VS2010 Express edition, on Windows7 Pro 64 bit.It's been bugging me for days, and I even thought it was because I was using Express edition, but it wasn't. I copied their Fibonacci example, and it worked as expected. Meaning: progress bar reported progress, GUI was responsive, so Cancel button could have done its part.

But I didn't want Fibonacci calculator, because recursive calls always make me think about stack overflow. I wanted something less fancy; I wanted simply to count to 100.000 and see the counter on the GUI changing all the time.So I followed the instructions on their Fibonacci example, but I made it only count "in its mind". It updated progress bar all the time, but text box shown only the last result after finished counting. Also GUI wasn't responsive, so I couldn't click cancel button.

When you start Fibonacci example, you could move the form around. But in my case, GUI was frozen, and form was moved only at the end of counting.

So, the other solution shoul be to use a backgroundWorker which will take care about formatting dgv.

Unfortunatelly I do not know exactly how to do that. I have tried in many ways but I have received the message:

Cross-thread operation not valid: Control 'StatusStrip1' accessed from a thread other than the thread it was created on.
