My first thought is that you'd probably have to setup a communications system with a central server that performed the database operations, and then notified all of the clients of the change..45 ACP - because shooting twice is just silly

1 million? I doubt that.

Hi im building a program to scrape links from a webpage, To prevent the document complete even tfiring multiple times ive set it to the function below.
public void BrowserCallback(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
WebBrowser Thread = (WebBrowser)ThreadViewer.Controls["Thread"];
while (Thread.ReadyState.ToString() != "Complete")
{
Application.DoEvents();
}
LinkScraper CurrentForm = new LinkScraper();
MethodInfo methodInfo = typeof(LinkScraper).GetMethod(NextFunction);
methodInfo.Invoke(CurrentForm, null);
}
My problem is that referencing the current form with
LinkScraper CurrentForm = new LinkScraper();
wipes out all the created controls from the previous method, Is there any way to use methodInfo.Invoke without having the same issue ?

First, you should be posting this in the asp.net forum.
Second, you could store the data in server variables (there's a word for these, but I can't for the life of me remember it) and retrieve them in the new instance of the form..45 ACP - because shooting twice is just silly

If this is a WinForms app (I can't tell from your post), then:
1. you are in the right forum;
2. if using WebBrowser, you should rely on the WebBrowser.DocumentCompleted event (and watch the URL that goes with it to decide whether it is the last one)
3. if you don't need to see the web page, you would be better of using HttpRequest and HttpResponse, which don't use any Control, and can work synchronously. This is how I do most web scraping.
Some coding comments:
1. a WebBrowser and a Thread are two different things, so calling a WebBrowser Thread is confusing everyone, you in the first place.
2. having a loop of DoEvents() is a horrible hack.
3. you should not use strings for something that is not inherently a string, so please replace Thread.ReadyState.ToString() != "Complete" by Thread.ReadyState!=WebBrowserReadyState.Complete

I don't understand you here. Is this the method that will handle the DocumentCompleted event? having it wait for completion doesn't achieve much; the multiple events will fire anyway, so they will get queued in the message queue and confuse you with some delay.

hi,
i have a main form. it has list view of items that when clicked will open up another form without closing the main form.
i did a inactivity timeout where user will be require to login again. if that happen, how do i close all current open form??

| You need to keep form objects that are open in a collection. When relogin requires, loop through this list and dispose everything. Best wishes,

Don't use dispose on a form that is currently displayed - unpredictable things may occur!If Barbie is so popular, why do you have to buy her friends?

When I say dispose everything, I didn't meant to call Dispose() method. BTW, how it can cause unpredictable things?  Best wishes,

| Application.OpenForms will return a Forms[] for all open forms. You can for loop through it closing the ones you no longer need (with Form.Close(), obviously). Do not try to foreach loop through, as the Close() may remove it from the array. If Barbie is so popular, why do you have to buy her friends?

im implementing windows mobile using compact framework so there isn't application.openforms.
is there something else similar?
|
|
|

|
| Not unless you create it yourself - keep a copy of the form object when you do the create, chain into the FormClosing event and remove it when it closes. You can then manually Close() each open instance. If Barbie is so popular, why do you have to buy her friends?

hi OriginalGriff,
what you mean is to create a class which act as a application hub that store all created form instances??
im sorry but wat do u mean by chain into the formClosing event?
|

Store them as part of your main form, as either an array of Form objects, or as individual YourForm references. At the moment, you do something like
YourForm yf = new YourForm();
yf.Show(); when the use clicks one of your list view entries - just move the "YourForm yf" outside the method (and give it a better name).
You then change it to
yf = new YourForm();
yf.FormClosing += new EventHandler(YourFormClosing);
yf.Show(); and add
private void YourFormClosing(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
yf = null;
}to remove it when it closes.
You can then check
if (yf != null)
{
yf.Close();
}If Barbie is so popular, why do you have to buy her friends?

You could simply call Form.Hide() instead of closing the forms outright..45 ACP - because shooting twice is just silly

Let me first start with what I am trying to accomplish and what I have.
I created a computer management console for active directory. You launch, it gets all computer objects from AD. When you click the computer object, some panels become visible and thre are 3 listbviews. One for Installed Applications, One for Services, and one for Hard drive information. All of that information is retrieved by WMI.
So the way I have it is when you click a computer object, it attempts to contact the computer using seperate threads for each thing (applications, services, hd info).
I have something like this:
Thread m_workerThread1;
Thread m_workerThread2;
Thread m_workerThread3;
Semaphore resourceLock;
When you click comp:
if (m_workerThread1 != null && m_workerThread1.IsAlive)
m_workerThread1.Abort();
if (m_workerThread2 != null && m_workerThread2.IsAlive)
m_workerThread2.Abort();
if (m_workerThread3 != null && m_workerThread3.IsAlive)
m_workerThread3.Abort();
lstServices.BeginUpdate();
lstServices.Items.Clear();
m_workerThread1 = new Thread(new ParameterizedThreadStart(GetRunningServices));
m_workerThread1.IsBackground = true;
m_workerThread1.Start(comp.DnsHostName);
lstApplications.BeginUpdate();
lstApplications.Items.Clear();
m_workerThread2 = new Thread(new ParameterizedThreadStart(GetInstalledApps));
m_workerThread2.IsBackground = true;
m_workerThread2.Start(comp.DnsHostName);
lstDiskDrives.BeginUpdate();
lstDiskDrives.Items.Clear();
m_workerThread3 = new Thread(new ParameterizedThreadStart(GetCompInfo));
m_workerThread3.IsBackground = true;
m_workerThread3.Start(comp.DnsHostName);
And under each method (you see I am calling three different ones) I am using the resourceLock.WaitOne(); and under a try catch finally (in the finally) I am releasing it.
You might be wondering why I call abort. This is because I really couldn't think of a better way to abort the current operation if the user clicks another computer. Having it wait until its done before letting the user choose another computer really isn't an option (because WMI can take a while sometimes).
My problem is if you close the form while these threads are running. Right now I forgot to include anything for it and it causes teh app to crash.
Is there a good way to abort these and then close? Like without displaying a message for the user to wait and try again until it aborts? What is the "best practice" for handling something like this? Or did I just mess the whole system up the way I did it?

Looks like you are not clear about what a Semaphore does. I haven't got why you are using it here.

Whole point of using threads is to allow users to do things in parallel. This means that, user should be able to browse multiple computer details and each should open in it's on windows. So user don't have to wait until an operation finishes and you don't have to abort threads forcefully. Also, I don't see any reason to create new threads each time. Queuing the tasks into ThreadPool should be good enough. ThreadPool threads are background threads.
Jacob Dixon wrote: My problem is if you close the form while these threads are running. Right now I forgot to include anything for it and it causes teh app to crash.
A background thread should get aborted automatically when the main thread exits. Are you sure the main thread exits correctly? I guess the WaitOne call on Semaphore is blocking main thread and screwing up something.
Jacob Dixon wrote: What is the "best practice" for handling something like this?
IMO, allow users to view details of multiple computers. Clicking each computer will queue a job to the worker thread and open a new window (or tab?) to show the details. So user can view computer details while other requests gets processed in the background. Avoid calling Abort(), avoid creating your own threads instead use a ThreadPool. Also make sure your main thread is not blocked.
 Best wishes,
Navaneeth

I created three threads and didn't want more than 3 running at one time. Thats why I used the semaphore. I haven't used a Threadpool before (new to threading as you might can tell lol). Let me read some on it and see what I can do with it.
Duh yeah opening in new windows would be more practical. Don't ask me why I didn't do that. I had a treeview on the left with the computers and on the right the listvies that displayed the info on the cmoputers. Im going to go with the new window suggestion lol.
