Hi,
I am writing a small utility to perform system maintainence tasks on
Windows. In this, I am launching a MMC snapin as a process using
BackGroundWorke r and using the "RunWorkerCompl eted" event handler to
know when the snapin was closed. This works fine on Xp and Vista 32
bit and the RunWorkerComple ted event handler is called when the snapin
is closed. But on Vista 64, the RunWorkerComple ted event is called as
soon as the snapin is launched.
Has anyone seen this before? Is this a bug or am I missing something
basic.
Thanks,
BR

Well I don't think that's really the way to use background worker.
You use it to run long running code in the background not to launch
other processes. If you want to know when the process is closed, use
the System.Diagnost ics.Process class to start and monitor when the
process exits.

I agree with Andy. However, for an explanation of the behaviour being
observed, it's possibly related to the fact that there are two MMCs on
64 bit, and in some circumstances the wrong one is started, sees that,
launches the correct one and then exits. http://technet2.microsoft.com/Window....mspx?mfr=true
discusses this briefly in point (2).

The same problem exists even if I launch a process in a seperate
thread.

Hi,
I've written a simple app which should just fetch some data from a

In order to not freeze the GUI, I'm using a BackgroundWorker. The
arguments for the RunWorkerAsync are the Query to be executed and the
Connectionstring. As a result I hoped I could return a SqlDataReader.
The problem is, if I create the SqlDataReader within the

What if the user wants to cancel before I can check this value? Is...

Hello all,
I have an app that uses a BackgroundWorker() object to read USB data
that is being fed in serially (FT245R chip, www.ftdichip.com). It
looks just like a serial data stream. Anyhow, it reads in the bytes
and finds the header and footer and pulls packets out of the data
stream. Nice, easy stuff. It then stuffs the packet into into a
class I made up to pull the data out through the ProgressChanged
event. The class is pretty...

What happens here?
The backgroundworker (bgw) unzips RTF-Helpfiles (up to 1 MB in size).
The ProgressChanged-Event gets the unzipped files (to display them in a
RichtTextBox)
It follows the Trace that prints always what bgw has unzipped and what
ProgressChanged received:
1. bgw: HelpFilelistgzip
2. ProgressChanged: HelpFilelistgzip OK!

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