Please don't crosspost. Are you using VB.NET or C# ?

Hi everyone,
I'm trying to nail down an elusive error. In a thread I have a Try/Catch around part of it. In the Catch block I do a CurrentThread.Abort() because if there is an error then the thread can just quit.
Every now and then I'm seeing a "Thread was being aborted." error in the error log. I haven't yet been able to get the error during debug.
My question is, could calling CurrentThread.Abort() in the Catch block be throwing the "Thread was being aborted." error?
If you have any ideas or any suggestions on how to terminate a thread on an error please let me know.
Thanks!

Yes, of course.
The Abort method is supposed to be called outside the thread, and it throws a ThreadAbortException exception in the thread to abort it. The thread is supposed to catch the exception as a signal that it has been aborted.
To end the thread, just do this:
Exit Sub
Experience is the sum of all the mistakes you have done.

Yes, but what if the decision is to be made in a nested function?

Good point. You can only exit a thread like that from the main method running the thread.
If you are in a nested function you can either return a value from the function to indicate that the thread should be exited, or throw an exception (other than ThreadAbortedException) that you catch in the main method.
Despite everything, the person most likely to be fooling you next is yourself.

I was afraid that was going to be the answer.
It would be easier having say Thread.CurrentThread.Exit(); but that
is not available...

I've put a sub main in my startup form, which I thought would be run on startup. But it doesn't seem to be. What am I doing wrong? Thanks
Public Class Form1
<stathread()> _
Shared Sub Main()
Console.WriteLine("MAIN SUB IS REACHED")
Try
Application.EnableVisualStyles()
Application.Run(New Form1())
Catch ex As Exception
Console.WriteLine("Main sub Error")
End Try
End Sub
End Class

Put the Sub Main in a module rather than a form.

I still have no idea what sort of macro you're talking about, or how this relates to VB.NET programming.

Hello every one
I am working on a VB 2005 application which was originally a VB6 application and is converted to VB 2005 Express.
I tried using Microsoft FxCop to check the application, I am having following issues
- I was naming my objects with "_" in vb6 and all the objects which were created in VB6 are not showing any issues but all the objects created in VB.net 2005 were showing Breaking errors with very high Certainty
- I changed the name of Objects created in VB.net as per the naming convention of .net. Still I am getting a error asking to start the object prefix (lbl/frm/cmb…) with Upper case letters which is again against the naming convention of vb.net
- It is also having issues with the spellings of the object. Will that actually affect
- What about all the objects created in VB6, am I also supposed to change the naming convention of them also?
Can any one plz help me with this..
Regards
Nishkarsh

FXCop doesn't tell you your code is broken, only that it doesn't follow a standard that FXCop enforces. Why do you need to pass it ?

Perhaps if you could explain yourself a bit better ? Does table mean a SQL database ? You get data out of a table by querying it with SQL.

i'm doing a program using microsoft visual studio. each time i submit my data, it will generate a doc number that is in <yyyymmdd><custid><running number="">. My formula
docNo = System.DateTime.Now + kod + <running number="">. kod is the value from a text box. for running number, i have a function GetRunNo that will update a table in my sql database each time i submit a data. in the table there r 2 field that is run_no and date. Each time i click add button it will update the running number base on date, it will add the data in the database, and each data will have a doc number for our reference. how can i call the values in that table to put in the doc number?

I'm trying to add some generic analog and digital TV capabilities to a program, and I'm having some difficulties with DVB-T.
I'm using the MS Tuner Library, and the MS Video Control ActiveX, and am able to get correct image and audio for most cases... but I'm not able to find how to make an automatic scan function (already done this with the Analog TV but this one seems to be different), don't know how to get the provider and service name, and when I try to view one of the channels the msvidctl control doesn't show the image and crash, but the frequency, transport stream ID and service ID is correct.
Also, couldn't check how to select multiple languages so far (no programs with it right now), nor found anything regarding the Teletext display.
Any help?
