STAThread in Backgroundworke r

Hi misters,

I have introduced a component to my solution that is throwing an exception
about needing to be run in single threaded apartment mode.

This component is created in an async call by a BackgroundWorke r object,
which seems to be on a MTA thread. Is there a way for me to get the
BackgroundWorke r thread to run in STA mode, or do I have to remove the
BackgroundWorke r and hand spin my own async call?

The component is a COM.

Greetings, regards

thanks in advance

You are unspecific about what this "component" is, but if it's throwing an
exception about the wrong thread type, there's a pretty good chance it
belongs in your GUI thread. If so, then the answer to this problem is the
same as the answer to all the other "cross-thread question" posts you've
made.

If the solution really does involve creating this component on some
arbitrary thread, then yes...you need to create your own so that you can
set the threading model correctly.

Hi -- I have a C# application that basically has a button that executes a SQL Reader to loop thru a rather large resul set. Thru each interation of the reader object, I check to see if a file exists on the server. If it does, I update a textbox (multiline) with the missing file, update a status bar label, and a progressbar. Since this process is kind of lengthy, every 400 rows, I do a DoEvents() and TextBox.Refersh() to refresh the...

I'm using a BackgroundWorker to perform a file download from an ftp site. Per good code design practices where I separate my UI code from my core logic code (in this case my Download file method in my FileIO class) I've established Public Event in my core logic classes along with RaiseEvents (that will updated a progress bar on the UI side). This all works great when I'm NOT using Threading (BackgroundWorker), however, as soon as I...

Hi, I am having trouble seeing how this bolts together. The UI starts a process which involves a long running database update. All Database activity is handled by a class called DT. DT has a progress event. So I added a bw to the form. The Dowork Calls a method which instantiates a DT and calls its Dataprocessing method.

Hi, I have a form with a progress bar on it and wanted to use the BackgroundWorker to be able to update the progress. I looked at examples, run some of them, but in debug, when the code gets to the do work method, it stops for a long while and then executes the first line of the method and the doesn't do anything else. What am i doing wrong?

I would like to be able to pass the BackgroundWorker object and DoWork Event Args to a second function (third function?) and be able to still report the progress.

I'm completely new to using background threading, though I have downloaded and run through several samples and understood how they worked. My question is: I have an app whose primary form will almost always lead to the user opening a certain child window that's fairly resource intensive to load. Is it possible to load this form in a backgroundworker and then use the Show method and hide method as necessary? Anyone know of

This is what I've always been wondered. Suppose I've created a class named Agent, and the Agent does some lengthy job. Of course I don't want to block the main window, so the Agent does the job in a separate thread. If the job is progressed it fires an event, and the main window handled the event by changing the value of a progress bar. The problem is that this event is fired in another thread so when the handler in the main window tries...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
