Don't be fooled about speed difference. It will still take just as long (in fact, probably longer on a single-processor machine) to read the data from the database. It's just that the reading won't block your UI thread, which makes everything appear responsive & fast. Users like this. Just beware that multithreading can get very hairy; threads sharing states, threads accessing the same resource, locking & deadlocks, doing UI stuff on background threads, all are difficulties you'll run into if you use threads. I suggest you do some reading[^] on the subject.

You could also display a wait cursor:
try {
Cursor.Current = Cursor.Wait;
ConnectToOracle();
} finally {
Cursor.Current = Cursor.Default;
}
|
|
|
|
|
I tried that and it said it did not recognize Wait and Default. Am I using an old version of .net? Is this only for 2.0?

No i was a just a bit too quick:
try {
Cursor.Current = Cursors.WaitCursor;
ConnectToOracle();
}
finally {
Cursor.Current = Cursors.Default;
}
Now it should compile

Ah.. that worked!
Thanks!

Visual Studio's intellisense function would actually have shown you other cursor-options in a listbox. Use it!

You can show a Progress bar to the user which increments its value by 20 for every second. When 5 seconds will complete, the progress bar will reach 100 i.e. maximum. By this way the user will be assured that something is going on and he will be satisfied

Hi
I am working in ASP.net and C#. I have a result.aspx page. I have to delete a file if the result.aspx page is closed or even if the user just moves from result.aspx page and goes to another page in the application. Could somebody please suggest some solution to this problem.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Hi there,
In the Page_Unload event....

Hi
Page_UnLoad event is not called when I close the browser. I am not able to delete file in the Page_UnLoad event.

You can detect when the session ends in Global.asax
But it depends on how you work with the file, is it per session or per page?
WM.
What about weapons of mass-construction?

In this case, you have to implement some js code in the onUnload event at client-side...

I have never worked with javascript. Is their a way to delete a file in javascript.
I have tried the following in javascript:
var fso = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject");
fso.DeleteFile(filepath + filename, true);
But this didnt delete a file.

is their anyway to call an aspx page from javascript.
|
|

|

Hi
I am able to catch the browser closing event using javascript. Then I am redirecting the user to another aspx page, which has a code to delete the files.
// default.aspx: javascript function being called at onunload event.
function deleteFile()
{
window.open("test.aspx");
}
// test.aspx page
File.Delete("C:\\test.txt); // delete the file
// close the test.aspx page
string strscript = "window.top.close();";
if (!Page.IsStartupScriptRegistered("clientScript"))
{
Page.RegisterStartupScript("clientScript", strscript);
}
This method opens the test.aspx page for few seconds, deletes the file and closes the page.
Is their anyway that I can hide the test.aspx page so that the user cannot see that but still file gets deleted ?
And what if the javascipt is disabled at the user's browser. In that case no files will be deleted.
Any suggestions??

Hi there,
Gud to hear that you can implement successfully the js code...![Rose | [Rose]](https://codeproject.global.ssl.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/rose.gif)
chinky singh wrote: Is their anyway that I can hide the test.aspx page so that the user cannot see that but still file gets deleted ?
IMO, No way... to hide the window. But just a suggestion, you might take a look at AJAX to implement they way client call a server-side function. So that when the browser is closed, call a server-side function to delete the file. Not tried with it yet 
And also, have a question... Why do want to hide the dialog?

Hi
Well their is no specific reason to hide the dialog. I think that is okay for now.
Ok their is a way to check if the JS is supported or not. What can I do if it is not supported? How can I then still detect the browser close event?
Thanks

What you can do is that forcing user enable that option to use your site

Hey,
i just want to know how i make a class extend the Thread object ? soo the class itself acts like a Thread ?
I am use to do the following in Java
extend the java.lang.Thread class, and then implement java.lang.Runnable
Then i could just override the Run() method, and i could create a new thread by instanciating my class like MyThreadClass tc = new MyThreadClass();
and call tc.Run() to make the thread start.
But how is this done in C# .NET ?
I seem to only be able to find examples which passes delegates to the Thread.
Like Thread myThread = new Thread(new ThreadStart(someMethod));
Can i somehow just extend the System.Threading.Thread class ? and which interface should i Implement ?

You can't extend Thread because it is a sealed class.

I'm not sure 100% what kind of effect you are going for here. You could have a class that implements the equivalent to Runnable. Then override the Run method to spawn a thread that calls a method in that class.

Hey,
thanks for the answer.
Yes i found out that it was a sealed class according to msdn.
But isnt there some way to make a class behave like a Thread ?
Or is the only way to create instances of a Thread and pass a delegate ?

What type of behavior are you wanting? Can you give us a code sample and describe what you want to happen?
Skoder wrote: Or is the only way to create instances of a Thread and pass a delegate ?
That's the best way (IMHO).

Actually, it's recommended you use the thread pool instead of creating threads yourself. You can use the ThreadPool to run background tasks via ThreadPool.QueueUserWorkItem(...).
Optionally, if you're trying to do work on a background thread which needs to return data to the UI thread, use System.ComponentModel.BackgroundWorker (.NET 2.0), which takes care of getting the calls on the correct thread for you.

That's not true. Creating a thread yourself is just fine and provides a different set of features that you can't get through the ThreadPool. For example you can't Join, Abort or check the state of items in the ThreadPool.
