I'm trying to figure out the best way to approach this. I have a BackgroundWorker which is being used to make a socket connection on a timer.
[Code]...
edit: thinking about it. It would be good if I could somehow build a watchdog into it, so if the BackgroundWorker thread is found to be running for more than 2 seconds, it's terminated as this would indicate the thread has been held up by the tcp connection.
what is the difference between a task and a backgroundworker? when it is better to use one and when the other?
View 1 RepliesI'm using a BackgroundWorker to perform some analysis on a separate thread. The BackgroundWorker is called when a user clicks a CheckBox.
I need to provide for the user clicking the CheckBox, starting the BackgroundWorker task, and then changing their mind and clicking the CheckBox again.I simply want to cancel the currently running task and set the analysis off again. Currently I have the following method:
Public Sub UpdateParkStatusAsync()
Try
'Debug output.
Console.WriteLine("UC_Map_ViewModel.UpdateParkStatus called.")
[code]....
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
[Code]...
in my button click event i ececure
If BackgroundWorker4.IsBusy Then
BackgroundWorker1.CancelAsync()
End If[code]....
after proceess completed if press the button again.i got the following error msg
This BackgroundWorker is currently busy and cannot run multiple tasks concurrently.
is it guaranted that a task A started before TaskB will be completed before task B assuming the task do the same level of operatons?or in other words is there a chance that a task B will finish before tast A in the assumption that the task calls the same procedure?
View 4 Repliesi'm in the need to start a backgroundworker inside another one.Now...The first one BGW starts a for cycle, and inside this one there is the second BGW that has to upload an image to a server.The trouble is that, the progress event and the complete event of the internal BGW are never called.

Before getting started, I'm new to VB and currently using Visual Basic 2010 Express. Just want to make sure I've got this in the right forum and my apologies if I'm not.[code]...
I have 16 cities (those would be my string variables, right?) that I want to appear on my 16 labels in random order without repeating when I click the button. So basically label 1 can be any of my 16 cities, label 2 then will be any of 15 left available cities, and so on and so on.
I have a datagridview that is being loaded from a dataset. This dataset is the result of a SQL Statement (which could be my problem). The MS Access Client table is the main table and contains 2 records, however, after loading the dataset, the row count is 3.
Below is the procedure where I load the dataset and then the DGV.
Public Function LoadClientDataSet()
Try
strSQL = "SELECT A.clientID, A.name, B.phone, B.zipCode, B.stateCD " & _
[Code]....
If say in my datatable i have one column called order number and one column called line. Whats the best way to keep repeating the order number into everyrow, whilst incrementing the line number until i add a new value in the order number column.
So it'd go like this..
Order#______Line
4568________1
4568________2
4981________1
I'm working on a Bingo game that generates a random letter and number.
Dim RandN As New Random()
Dim randnumber = RandN.Next(1, 30)
Dim RandL As New Random()
Dim randletter = RandL.Next(1, 5)
All that works, but I'd like it not to repeat a combination. Any tips on how to do that?
Also the random numbers tend to be repetitive and the random letter is never 5. I think the random number has been 30 before but I can't be sure. Is there a way to fix that or just a better way to do the random numbers?
there are 8 text boxes where user should put 8 answers, but when he type one answer in one text box it cant be found in some other text box.Basically when button is clicked there should be check for repeated answers.
View 3 RepliesI searched the forum and the web in general but did not find anything that answered my question.I am trying to create repeating sections (much like you can do in InfoPath development) in VB. For example, I would have a dozen textboxes in a section which the user would be able to fill out.
View 24 RepliesI have built a blog platform in VB.NET where the audience are very young, and for some reason like to express their commitment by repeating sequences of characters in their comments.
Examples:
Hi!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3
LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL
..and so on.
I don't want to filter this out completely, however, I would like to shorten it down to a maximum of 5 repeating characters or sequences in a row.I have no problem writing a function to handle a single repeating character. But what is the most effective way to filter out a repeating sequence as well?This is what I used earlier for the single repeating characters
Private Shared Function RemoveSequence(ByVal str As String) As String
Dim sb As New System.Text.StringBuilder
sb.Capacity = str.Length

I have a networkstream (using C#/VB.NET). while on reading values coming like this:
&% 68 kg K A&% 23 kg K A&% 174 kg K A &% 68 kg
&% 34 kg K A&% 2334 kg K A&% 68 kg K A &% 68 kg K A
&% 2348 kg K A&% 78 kg K A&% 28 kg K A&% 68 kg
The numerical(weight) value will be continuously varying.
Every time i am reading the starting of the stream differs. But the pattern remains the same. How to split that into '&% 78 kg K A' which represents one set.
How to extract the weight value from this stream using Regex or any other methods?
I need to count number of repeating and position where they repeat of all number in multidimensional array like this:
1 2 1

2 3 1
And result need to be:
Number 1- two times on position 1, one time on position 2, two times on position 3
Number 2- one time on position 1, two times on position 2, one times on position 3
Number 3- 0 on position 1, one time on position 2, 0 on position 3

i just want to know if there is a way to implement constraint for parameters with a repeating pattern. For that i meant something like this
ParamArray pattern as Integer()
if i need an integer, and any amount of the "pattern" (the pattern here is one integer). so basically the pattern accepts 1 integer and multiples of 1 integer, meaning 2 integers, 3 integers so is there a way to upgrade this so we can have this pattern:
Integer, Boolean
and any valid combinations for this pattern will include
Integer, Boolean, Integer, Boolean
Integer, Boolean, Integer, Boolean, Integer, Boolean
etc, etc
currently the only way i can think of is to wrap Integer and Boolean as 1 object and apply pattern 1, but i was searching for a better alternative?
I have an array that hold 6 random number, then this numbers are sorted from smallest to highest. My question is: How would I go about replacing any repeating numbers with a different random number. I.e. 1 3 7 2 2 9 is sorted into 1 2 2 3 7 9, but I would like to see one of the 2's replaces with a different number (that it is not currently in the array).
I have no code for this part - but the code for making the random number, storing them and sorting them works fine.
Basically I have 7 labels on a form that I randomize into numbers between 0 and 49. However some of the numbers repeat, like this 1,4,8,14,14,50,12. [Code]
View 2 RepliesI have a combobox that I am populating with the contents of a dataset (from an access database). The field that it is showing has lots of values that repeat. I want to remove the repeats of the data so that only unique records are shown in the combo box. I imagine this can be done with the SQL for the data adaptor? I tried: "SELECT type FROM products GROUP BY type" and "SELECT DISTINCT type FROM products" but both still showed the repeating records.
View 8 RepliesI am currently creating a vending machine program, designed to simulate a vending machine. However I have come across a rather large error, my stock is 50 at the begging. The person can go though the program and the appropiate amount of stock is taken away from the relavent object, however when I finish and want to go back to the start the last selection is still present.Therefore I have tried setting the variable as 0 when the form opens and when the program starts, but the last selection is still present.Does anyone know of a way to which I can reset this calculation without affecting my stock so I can then repeat my program cycle one or two times each time using the previous stock without reseting back to 50
View 10 RepliesOk im making a program that throws three dice at once. Several results end with a score but a few result in a no score. in the case of a no score (Example: the dice land on 4,1,6) i want the dice to be thrown again.

Is there a "best-practice" for such a scenario?

I am writing a matching program, and need 24 objects to randomly appear, each twice, across 48 spaces. I figured the best way for me to do this would be to assign the positions a number 1 through 48. but the problem is I can't find a way to generate a random number sequence in visual basic 9 .netI found many examples in visual basic .net but the conversion doesn't work. If not some code, many some example programs that either use a random number sequence or randomly sets the position of objects.
