QuestionUsing Threads in Windows Forms Pin
Megidolaon23-Jul-08 0:35
Megidolaon23-Jul-08 0:35 
I have a program that tests DB tables. As these tests can take up to several minutes, I want to outsource them into other threads, to at least give the user to possibility to abort them/exit the application.
It's not intended that the user can execute several tests at a time, so I actually only need the main thread in which the Windows Form is running and a single worker thread that performs the test.

My main problem is that I run the test table by table in a loop and each time a table has finished testing, several dictionaries and controls are updated.
When the tests is performed by another thread, it means that the user can access the same dictionaries the testing thread is updating.

So far I just tried to get the testing thread running and allow the user to abort it but I didn't have much success yet.
I used the Windows Forms Invoke Method but that doesn't seem to help much, as the GUI still doesn't respond until the test is finished.


Could you tell me what approach would be best?

Should I use a ParameterizedThreadStart that gets passed a list of all dictionaries?

And how would I go about updating the Windows Forms controls? Create some event that is fired when a table has finished testing?


Thanks in advance.
