There was an excellent article that someone wrote on relation to updating GUI from a seperate thread.
This article related to setting a property called RaiseExceptionOfSomeKind = false.
Very simple yet very effecient.
I am sad to report that I am blanking out compeltely on that article. If someone has the foggiest idea as to what am I talking about please post a link.
This is what happens when you give up drinking..amnesia.
Thanks

Updating a Gui from a thread other than the one it was created on "often leads to unpredictable results" (MSDN[^]). See here[^] for the proper way to do so.
|
|

Found what I was looking for. It took a little while to do the right search.
http://www.codeproject.com/KB/user-controls/AlternateMultithreadedGUI.aspx.
The property I was looking for is CheckForIllegalThreadCalls = false.
Back to drinking,

THRERE are two ways
1. the wrong way that microsoft allowed
Set this property like:
<br />
CheckForIllegalCrossThreadCalls = false;<br />
2. the right way :
create a delegate to the function that updates the GUI and a handler
and use the invoke Method to wake the method
see here : http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/zyzhdc6b.aspx[^]

Thank half-life. I was aware of the second way as well. I was experimenting with a few things so I thoiught of this CheckForIllegalCrossThreadCalls = false;
thing I read on codeproject a while ago.

I wanted to add a dockable interface to my application and I don't really like the idea of including a third-party dll in my application. So I though and I had the idea of embedding my controls in toolbars.
Can you give me an example of how to put a custom control in a toolbar. Or is this impossible? Help would be greatly appreciated.

So, I'd like this to work:
Thread t = new Thread(new ThreadStart(StartProcess));<br />
int i = 0;<br />
int numThreads = 10;<br />
while (i <= numThreads)<br />
{<br />
t.Start();<br />
i++;<br />
}<br />
But I know it doesn't  .
Can anyone tell me how to get this working?

Keep in mind you don't want to do something like this so I'm not sure what value there is in showing you.
int i = 0;<br />
int numThreads = 10;<br />
while (i <= numThreads)<br />
{<br />
Thread t = new Thread(new ThreadStart(StartProcess));<br />
t.Start();<br />
i++;<br />
}

I would like to be able to dynamically identify how many threads I want the the application to use.
The problem is that the function is blocking, so I need a new thread for each function.
|
|

|

Use an array containing the threads you wish to create. Also use the QueueUserWorkItem instead (from the threadpool) it is faster.
Also, test of mine of confirmed that using this scenario rarely works faster unless the threads are waiting on different resources.

Based on what? What criteria do you think you will be using to make that determination?

No, what you need is to do some reading on the subject of multi-thread application development. I don't know what current sources there are but years ago I found Advanced Windows by Richter to be a valuable resource on the subject of multi-threading

Okay, I'll go do some reading up on that. It seems like I'm not understanding what my requirements are!
Thanks.

Excellent decision, there is hope for you. Don't expect miracles though. The subject can be rather elusive. Take your time, it's worth getting it right.

Hello,
Can anybody give me link or provide sample source as how to let EMAB know about the newly added custom Exception Handler class without adding it to configuration file?
Enterprise library depends on Configuration file settings to know about any new custom Exception Handlers, which as a developer we need to configure (add using EL Configuration Console). But i don't want to do that, i just want EMAB to pickup the Class implementing IExceptionHandler from current Assembly.
Thanks

Be aware that adding to a textbox with alot of text in it is a very slow operation. You'll want to keep the buffer displayed in it very short to keep CPU usage reasonable.
Otherwise [Microsoft is] toast in the long term no matter how much money they've got. They would be already if the Linux community didn't have it's head so firmly up it's own command line buffer that it looks like taking 15 years to find the desktop.

is there a way to get it working, it aint going into production, its just to show that it can be done
is there a way to log a few events into the txt file the way the console logs thems
thanks

yes. Instead of writing to the console write to the file.

Do you know how to paint a filled circle?

 Maybe half-life needs to simulate the luminous efficacy, light wavelength, and viewing angle of a Real LEDTM?

Bingo, yes thats it
i know it's sound crazy but the answer is YEP

yes of course i can
but it's more complexed then just a simple circle
i know how to change the region using GraphicPath and etc.
but juat as Brady Kelly said there are motr things to it
and i do not know how to make it 3D
(can i use the borderstyle of the usercontrol and combine it with the region?)
THANKs
