I am trying to code a simple background workers class without needing to use the backgroundworke r object on a form. This would allow me to use a background worker in any class without writing much additional code. Is it possible to pass in the name of a sub at runtime instead of hard-coding it? To do this I would replace onDoWork and onProgressChang ed below and use (Byval onWorkSub as SomeKindOfObjec t?, Byval onProgressChang edSub as SomeKindOfObjec t?) instead. -
' Instantiate the worker
-
Dim worker As New BackgroundWorker ' Initialize the worker
-
worker.WorkerReportsProgress = True
-
worker.WorkerSupportsCancellation = True
-
AddHandler worker.DoWork, New DoWorkEventHandler(AddressOf onDoWork) ' Create delegate handle
-
AddHandler worker.ProgressChanged, New ProgressChangedEventHandler(AddressOf onProgressChanged) ' Create callback handle
-
-
'* start the worker
-
worker.RunWorkerAsync()

Is there a way to do this without having as much code? ie, a "proper" way of doing this?
No guarantees if this will do what you want it to. :) - ''' <summary>Allows tieing events to a worker without additional code</summary>

Hi
I understand that ASP.net 2.0 (Whidbey) is going to reduce coding by
70%.
Surely this is going to de-skill or dumb down the developer's task and
open up the task of web development to less qualified and trained
staff.
Tell me if I'm wrong.

I hope not, but, I think the answer to this question is "it can't be done".
Northwind sample database. Orders form.
Go to a new record.
Select a customer in "Bill To:"
Don't enter any products whatsoever.
Now click or page up/down away from this new record.
You just created a new order without a single item having been ordered.
Not something a user should be able to do.

Hello folks,
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.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:
