Thanks for the reply.
I temporarily used the application.doevents() because I couldn't tell if it was doing anything.
I have since thrown this in, but it is still very very slow, especially after it gets past the first few hundred entries. The initial few hundred entries are at a speed I would expect.
I will try the workthread as well.
if (count % 50 == 0)
{
Application.DoEvents();
tbxOutput.SelectionStart = tbxOutput.Text.Length;
tbxOutput.ScrollToCaret();
tbxOutput.Refresh();
}

Part of your slow down is in the continual appending to tbxOutput.Text. Rather than using a TextBox, use a ListBox instead. Alternatively, read it all into a StringBuilder and blast it out in one go with a ToString(). And yes, move this into a background thread.

Great idea, that really sped things up to about 20 seconds!

This code is very quick in case someone else can learn from my mistake, thank you both for helping me through this.
private void vcfProcessor(object filePathObj)
{
try
{
string filePath = filePathObj.ToString();
using (StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(filePath))
{
List<string> vcfFile = new List<string>();
string readLine;
while ((readLine = reader.ReadLine()) != null)
{
vcfFile.Add(readLine);
}
int count = 0;
foreach (string line in vcfFile)
{
if (line == "BEGIN:VCARD")
{
count = count + 1;
lbxOutput.Items.Add(count + ".) ").ToString();
}
lbxOutput.Items.Add(line + System.Environment.NewLine);
if (line == "END:VCARD")
{
lbxOutput.Items.Add(System.Environment.NewLine);
}
if (count % 50 == 0)
{
tbxContactNumber.Text = count.ToString();
Application.DoEvents();
}
}
tbxContactNumber.Text = count.ToString();
}
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
MessageBox.Show(ex.Message + System.Environment.NewLine + ex.Source + System.Environment.NewLine + ex.TargetSite + System.Environment.NewLine + ex.StackTrace + System.Environment.NewLine + System.Environment.NewLine);

As others have said, perform this function on a background thread, update your controls using Invoke/BeginInvoke and get rid of the DoEvents

I'm trying to add an interface, but it's causing havoc with my ProgressBar update events (My progress bar event is null so my progress bar never gets updated). I have the following older link about it: [^]
The progress bar works where it doesn't use events in Generic, but it's not working where I'm using the events in CR5_new and CR5_Comm. As you can see below, when I get to RaiseProgressChange in my CR5_new class, the event is null. I can't figure out why it's null. I'm not very good with events, and throwing in the interface (the iCR_Comm interface is new) doesn't help, since I'm not very good at interfaces either. I removed unrelated code, so hopefully this post isn't missing important definitions. I realize that this doesn't look familiar to you and is a lot of info, but any help would be appreciated. If anyone is mean, I'm not going to upvote that comment. There are very specific project related reasons that these are all separate vs projects. (re-use, multiple CRx's, multiple CRx_comm's, and numerous dynamic data classes that give extra control info to the Generic class.) Everything works (programming, write, read, through CR5_Comm class), so don't focus on that. It's just the events that update the progress bar that don't work. Names of classes have been changed enough that they don't give away our information, but still resemble my code.
My code looks like this now (all separate vs projects):
vs project: crTool
frmUserForm.cs:
using USB_Comm;
namespace CRWriter
{
public partial class frmUser:Form
{
public frmUser(string dllSelected, TemplateHandlerApplication.Templates.TEMPL[] template, string dll, Site.Site.SITE cert0)
{
programDll = dllSelected;
templateArr = template;
itsDll = dll;
cert = cert0;
InitializeComponent();
CreateSubForms();
}
private void CreateSubForms()
{
cb = new CrComm();
int errValue = cb.FindUsbHid(ref HWndBoxID);
for (int i = 0; i < cb.cbInfos.Length; i++)
{
iCRComm cb1 = null;
if (controls[i] == null)
{
CRComm_Factory.CRCommFactory factory = new CRComm_Factory.CRCommFactory();
int type = factory.DetermineCR_Type(programDll);
try
{
cb1 = factory.GetCRComm(type);
controls[i] = gen.GetProgramControl(cb1, programDll, templateArr, itsDll, cert, i, cb1.GetBoxID(i), this);
}
...

What type is "cr"? And what does the factory return? Btw, your naming isn't very helpful here. Any way we could translate what you're trying to achieve to a simple console-app? Makes it easier to focus on the problem itself, without having to worry about the rest of the app.
Why does the CR5_new class have a Main method? It's not the entry-point for your app, is it?

Thanks for the input, Eddy. I guess it's a good idea to try and put it in a simple console app. It might be crucial that I'm jumping through separate vs projects etc, so I left it as-is. I'm not sure why CR5 has a main. It's mostly just a dll and not a form, unlike a lot of my other classes.
cr is an iCR type. It looks like this in the factory:
public iCR GetCR(CRType type, int slaveIndex)
{
iCR cr = null;
switch (type)
{
case CRType.CR5:
cr = new CR5_new.CR5(slaveIndex);
break;
case CRType.CR6:
cr = new CR6.CR6(slaveIndex);
break;
default:
throw new ArgumentException(string.Format("A CR of type {0} cannot be found", Enum.GetName(typeof(CRType), type)));
}
return cr;
}

Good start. The Cr5_Comm class is missing from that. Good idea for ProgressChangeHandler to lose the 2. If you don't have the iCR_Comm interface, it's like I never made my changes at all.

Can CR5 inherit from both iCR and iCRComm?
|
|
|
|
|
Your definition and use of iCRComm is what my iCR interface is. It's still not doing what my iCRComm does. Thanks for helping!!
|
|
|
|
|
Yes; although I don't see why one wouldn't simply modify the original interface to include the new method. Remember that the factory is there for a good reason.

Yes, but I have two factories. One for CR5 interface and one for CRComm interface. It may not be obvious from what I posted, but they have very different uses. Generic needs to use CR5 for writes. CR5Comm is used all over the place and definitely isn't the same/can't be condensed into one with CR5. You're changing the use of everything too much for it to be helpful. Maybe we need to go back to the original VS project definitions of everything? I know it's difficult, but it's like that for a reason. Even where you put the delegate doesn't translate to anywhere in my code.

I'd expect anything out that factory to behave similar; otherwise you'd be checking whether you're working on a CR5 or a CR6 everywhere in code, making things even more complicated.
MichCl wrote: Even where you put the delegate doesn't translate to anywhere in my code.
As far as the compiler is concerned, it's located in "some" namespace. As long as it's referenced, it can be used.

Like I said. There are two different factories. One for comm, one for crx. I get two different things from them. The fact that I don't have a check for CR5 or CR6, is because my cr factory returns an instance of iCR that is an instance of either cr5 or cr6. When I make a call from my instance of icr that is returned, it will automatically go to the implementation of cr5 or cr6, whichever I instantiated in the factory.
I realize the compiler doesn't care about the delegate location and usage, but I do. The structure/fix that you are suggesting doesn't translate even slightly to my code, which is in separate vs projects. I can't put my delegate where you have it, so it's not a fix for my problem. Thanks for the help!

Guess what???! I cleaned all of my classes, detached and re-attached references, and it's working now. I guess I had the delegates/events and the interfaces set up correctly after all!!!! I was stepping through and noticed an exception was being thrown so I wasn't getting to my event setup (+/-), so that's why it was null and missing updating the progressBar. Thanks for the help!!

It seems like the place you're putting the delegate won't work for me since you have it all in one program and I don't. I see that it works, though.
