Hello
I am not very experienced with this issue and would your opinion on
whether it is healthy or not:
1) I created an ATL COM object (say MyCOM):
- that supports connection points
- that exposes couple of methods such as:
BeginOperation( )
GetInformation( )
- Exposed some events in the _IMyCOMEvents interface which was created
automatically by the wizard, such as:
OnNewItem()
OnProgressItem( )
OnEndItem()
2) Implemented the connection points, etc...
Some information about BeginOperation( ):
1) It takes some initial parameters and stores them in the class member
variables
2) It creates a thread (CreateThread API), passing "this" as context
3) returns to the caller
The thread proc of BeginOperation( ):
1) do some lenghty operations (like file copying)
2) while doing the operations, fire the events when needed:
Fire_OnItemProg ress() ....
I wanted to test this COM from C#, so:
1)Added reference to the COM
2)created a new instance of the object in the form' s constructor
3)Added new delegates to the object's OnNew, OnEnd, ...
The delegates updates the screen such as:
void OnNewItem(int itemNo)
{
StatusLabel.Tex t = "Currently processing item #" + itemNo.ToString ();
}
etc...
Now, I am facing some weird issues:
1)sometimes, events are called, but only one line is being executed,
and then directly another event is being fired, w/o the first one
finishing
2)if application is ran w/ the debugger, it looks like the screen is
not updated as if some events are not triggered.
Please advise if this is the correct way of doing this.

Note that doing so, you will have to marshal the update of the UI to the UI
thread, your event handlers do run on an auxiliary thread (the one created
in your component), so you may not access the UI elements directly. Check
the docs on Control.BeginIn voke and Invoke.

Hello!
I am still transitioning from VB.NET to C#. I undertand the basic concepts
of Delegates, more so of Events and somewhat understand AsyncCallback

My question is regarding the use of delegates in C#. I see how .Net uses
delegates to wire event handlers to events. It’s an object created by a
single line of code by the system and that makes perfect sense to me. I
understand that there is a lot of code underneath that the system has created
that makes it all work, thereby making it pretty efficient for the programmer.
Outside of the use of delegates to wire event handlers, you can...

I'm studying the book "Microsoft Visual Basic.NET Language Reference" and I
would like some clarify the difference between events and delegates. On page
156 I see a WinForms example of timer that uses the "WithEvents" and events.
There is another example on page 124 that shows how to use delegates to sort
an array.
I don't understand the difference between events and delegates. Are they
redundant features? How do I decide which to use?

They usually don't teach you in most textbooks I've seen that
delegates can be used to call class methods from classes that are
'unaware' of the delegate, so long as the class has the same signature
for the method (i.e., as below, int Square (int)).
Here is an example to show that feature. Note class "UnAwareClass"
has its methods Square and Cuber called by a class DelegateClass.
This is because these methods in UnAwareClass have the...

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows.
