The DoWork event is not a loop. You need to call RunWorkerAsync every time you want it to run. This would be best done in your timer event hander and you should remove the thread.sleep call as it is of no benefit to you. There is also little point in having a CancellationPending check as the first thing your DoWork event does - I think you would find it very difficult to see that ever returning true (even if you try to make it happen)
private static BackgroundWorker _backgroundWorker;
internal static BackgroundWorker BackgroundWorker { get { return _backgroundWorker; } }
private void Initialize()
{
_backgroundWorker = new BackgroundWorker();
_backgroundWorker.WorkerSupportsCancellation = true;
_backgroundWorker.WorkerReportsProgress = true;
_backgroundWorker.DoWork += new DoWorkEventHandler(BackgroundWorker_DoWork);
_backgroundWorker.RunWorkerAsync();
timer.Interval = 200;
timer.Elapsed += new System.Timers.ElapsedEventHandler(OnElapsedTime);
timer.Start();
}
private void BackgroundWorker_DoWork(object sender, DoWorkEventArgs e)
{
GetStatus();
}
void OnElapsedTime(object sender, System.Timers.ElapsedEventArgs e)
{
if(!_backgroundWorker.IsBusy)
_backgroundWorker.RunWorkerAsync();
}
I may or may not be responsible for my own actions

Have you not learned how to debug applications yet? You've asked so many questions where this basic skill would have answered it for you. Set a breakpoint in your code and step through the background worker - all will become apparent. BTW - Thread.Sleep is a plain stupid way to code. Read up on what it does to find out why you shouldn't use it.

Hi Pete,
Please read my reply to musefan.
I do debug the app...
Thank you
|
|
|
|

you're wrong and Pete is right. I suggest you read his reply a couple more times until it sinks in.

Had you debugged it, you'd have noticed immediately that there was no loop condition and that the background worker completes after one run through.

I have made the necessary changes.
It seems to be working as a new thread now.
I will continue testing and come back to you if there is a query.
Thank you

Unfortunately, you (you specifically -- and a couple of other guys) continue to spoon feed him and hold his hand on *every* question (and yeah, he asks a ton), so why should he bother to learn how to do anything for himself? He knows that when he hits F5 and something bad happens, its off to the CP forums and good ol' Pete and good ol' Griff will hold his hand as usual and wipe his butt for him. Although, I have noticed lately, you seem to be getting annoyed with him , so maybe you'll stop with the hand holding soon and Arkiboys will finally man the f up and learn his craft. However, I think its pretty obvious that Arkiboys doesn't really have any interest in learning anything because people point him to links, etc. and he still comes back 5 seconds later and says "but... its too hard... ".
Not bashing you in general Pete, I think its great that you help everybody out...
... but in the case of Arkiboys? the guy is just clueless and hopeless. I only read his threads for strictly comedic purposes.

Your code only starts the background worker thread once - in your Initialize() function. All the Tread.Sleep(200) does is to pause the excution of the background worker's DoWork event handler for 200 milliseconds.
If you want to run the background worker thread event every 200 milliseconds, you would need to create a timer that fires its Elapsed event every 200 milliseconds. In the timer's Elapsed event handler, you would invoke the background worker RunWorkerAsync() method.

Do you mean like this?
private System.Timers.Timer timerStatus = new System.Timers.Timer(200);
Initialize()
{
_backgroundWorker = new BackgroundWorker();
_backgroundWorker.WorkerSupportsCancellation = true;
_backgroundWorker.WorkerReportsProgress = true;
_backgroundWorker.DoWork += new DoWorkEventHandler(BackgroundWorker_DoWork);
_backgroundWorker.RunWorkerCompleted += new RunWorkerCompletedEventHandler(_backgroundWorker_RunWorkerCompleted);
timerStatus.Elapsed += new System.Timers.ElapsedEventHandler(OnElapsedTimeStatus);
timerStatus.Enabled = true;
}
private void OnElapsedTimeStatus(object source, System.Timers.ElapsedEventArgs e)
{
_backgroundWorker.RunWorkerAsync();
}
private void BackgroundWorker_DoWork(object sender, DoWorkEventArgs e)
{
if (_backgroundWorker.CancellationPending)
{
e.Cancel = true;
return;
}
MonitorStatus();
}

Yes - that's what I mean.

I think I have it working now but I will continue to debug and test...
Is it ok, to use a while loop instead of a timer?
|
|
|
|
|
I would not recommend it. You might get away with it if the while loop was running in it's own separate thread.

Did you register the DLL in your system?
I must get a clever new signature for 2011.

yes i did...
now i have another error... "ERROR GrabFrame()
//Jpeg compression quality
short nQuality = 45;
//Shout a picture from my webcam
CAMSERVERLib.Camera cam = new CAMSERVERLib.CameraClass();
byte[] picture = (byte[])cam.GrabFrame(nQuality); ---> "ERROR GrabFrame().
//Add the hour to the jpeg picture
MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream( picture );
Bitmap bmp = new Bitmap( ms );

Well that makes it so much clearer.

i dont understand...
but anyway, thanks for your effort....
just want to have a clearer answer on this things...

Nor do I, all you have said is "the words in BOLD is d ERRROR... "ERROR GrabFrame()"", which tells us nothing. What error, what messages, what status codes, what exceptions, etc? People reading this cannot guess what happens on your system.
