i've used threads in a couple of c# desktop apps with no problems before,
but can't seem to get this code to update my listBox:
Private Sub Button1_Click(B yVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArg s) Handles Button1.Click
Dim t As Thread
t = New Thread(AddressO f Me.BackgroundPr ocess)
t.Start()
End Sub
Private Sub BackgroundProce ss()
Dim i As Integer = 1
Do While True
ListBox1.Items. Add("Iterations : " + i.ToString)
i += 1
Loop
End Sub
10  1417 
By the time the second thread starts executing in BackgroundProce ss,
the original thread has finished executing all the code needed to
render the page, and the page is done.
ASP.NET is already multi-threaded. Chances are you'll hurt scalability
adding your own threads.

Scott,
while you are correct in the explanation you give Dica about why he does
not see any effect, you didn't give him how to make it work.
Also "you'll hurt scalability adding your own threads." is not always
correct, there are situations when you need to submit a search (that is
taking too long) to work in the background....
What he is trying to accomplish may not make sense in the trivial example he
is using to explain his needs, but it is a legitime question, that I would
like someone to answer it!
How to make the server reload the page when the background processing is

In ASP.NET 2.0 you have the notion of asynchronous pages where you
can fire off and do some task while the requesting thread continues with
something else, however care must be taken to use it correctly otherwise you'll
waste two threads instead of one.
You can also use AJAX like functionality to update your pages, if you have
a long running task you can check if it's done in certain intervals and then update
when it is done.
Do a google search on "asynchrono us pages", "script callbacks", "ajax"

actually, yes, that's true, though the example i provided may not have made
much sense. i was trying to keep things as simple as possible while trying
to figure out basic threading in a asp.net environment and the example i
posted was from a vb.net windows form example i found. sorry for any
confusion. what i actually want to do is create a slide show to
automatically forward the user to the next page after 5 seconds:
Private Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArg s) Handles MyBase.Load
'// get the page number of the slide show //
If Request.QuerySt ring("pg") <> "" Then
sThisPage = Request.QuerySt ring("pg")
If IsNumeric(sThis Page) Then
iNextPage = CInt(sThisPage) + 1
End If
Else
iNextPage = 1
End If
Dim oNextPage As New NextSlideShowPa ge(iNextPage)
'// set up thread to do pausing //
Dim t As Thread
t = New Thread(AddressO f oNextPage.doNot hing)
t.Start()
t.Sleep(5000) '// wait 5 seconds before advancing to next page //
oNextPage.getNe xtPage()
End Sub
here's the NextSlideSHowPa ge class:
Public Class NextSlideShowPa ge
Inherits System.Web.UI.P age
Private iNextPage As Integer
Sub New(ByVal iPage As Integer)
iNextPage = iPage
End Sub
Sub getNextPage()
Response.Redire ct("slide_show. aspx?pg=" & iNextPage.ToStr ing)
End Sub
Sub doNothing()
End Sub
End Class
this almost seems to work except i'm receiving a 'Response is not available
in this context' error message.

Dica,
you are in luck today! I was just browsing the latest issue of MSDN Mag. and
as PL pointed out, asyn pages is what you need, and it is explained in the
latest issue....
As PL said this is natively supported in ASP.NET 2.0, but it can be done
(with some effort) in ASP.NET 1.x as explained in this article: http://msdn.microsoft.com/msdnmag/is.../06/Threading/
Basically since every page will run in its own thread (and that thread will
not wait for your custom thread) you make the page first run your own thread
then when it is finished it will let the page run as normal!
Read the article you will understand....

Good point.
Just two tweaks:
1) Get rid of the inifinite loop.
2) Have Page_Load wait for the thread to complete it's work.
Private Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs) _
Handles MyBase.Load

t.Start()
t.Join() ' this will block until the thread is finished

In the case above there are two threads needed to process one request,
so it only creates more overhead. Async pages in 2.0 are different
because they free up the original thread to process more requests.

Ah, in that case you have to do some work on the client. Either use
META tags to refresh the page or use JavaScript / AJAX from the client
to check on processing. The server can't force the client's browser to
reload a page - the client has to initiate the request.

In that case you don't need to fiddle with threads or async pages.
You'll want to use client side script / JavaScript / AJAX and have the
client make a request to the server. The server can't reach out and
get to the client - the browser always has to initiate the request.

Scott http://www.OdeToCode.com/blogs/scott/
Scott,
excellent answers (excep the last one, I will comment on it below).
Dica,
for slide show, the best solution and (faster) is JavaScript...in fact it is
readily available...che ck out: http://www.needscripts.com/ and type "slide
show" in search button, you will find slide show that advance automatically
or those that needs a button to be clicked!

This is true in the case of Dica, but not the example I gave....I am aware
of META tag refresh and Javascript, but here is the problem we have been
faced with few months ago.
When user navigate to a page, we need the page to render all element, except
one portion that is tied to doing a search and return a result.
So the user should see all the page normally except for one table that will
display "Loading... " then when the result are ready (no user interaction
needed), the search result sould fill the table instead of the "Loading... "
I don't see how we can do this with client scripting?! may be I am missing
smthg?!
