I have a created a window which has one show button which searches some information from my LAN pc's, but what i want is to display a progress window , having the image "please wait" for this i have created a separate window and called the show method , Now when this progress window is opened , user should not switch to the parent window, how can i do that ?.

Show the progress window as modal but make sure you are doing it from a separate thread, your main thread will be blocked else.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Application.DoEvents ??
it is helpfully (sometimes) 
|
|
|
|
|
It's trivial. You run the searching in a separate thread and show modal progress window from the main thread. Something like
ThreadPool.QueueUserWorkItem(DoSearching,AnyObject);
progress.ShowDialog() "DoSearching" method should be able to update and close the progress. Make sure you use Invoke/BeginInvoke when accessing progress window from your DoSearching method.

When i search about BeginInvoke /Invoke every where written that u should avoid them because it causes deadlocks and also slow. Any better idea
|
|
|
|
|
I never experienced any problem with that. CP has an excellent article on Invoke/BeginInvoke here[^]. It's worth reading.

Ok i have created a function progress() and uses MethodInvoker and called BeginInvoke(), Now in progress() function i called the progress.showdialog() after begininvoke i called method of extracting details from the network , when this function returns i closes the form progress.close() but gives error why? how can i close my show dialog form.

You are doing just opposite to what I said. I reiterate, do long running process on the method which you are invoking using MethodInvoker. Show progress dialog in the main thread. When the long running process finishes, end the progress window. You will get cross thread access error when you try to close the progress, so use Invoke/BeginInvoke to close the progress window safely.

If i put in the main thread then the execution hangs on showdialog() call

Hi,
I'd like to invoke a couple of methods retrieved from multiple,
dynamically loaded Assemblies (I have the MethodInfo objects)
asynchronously and wait for all methods to finish processing before I
continue. The method signature is:
public void ProcessJob(JobInfo job);
Can this be done? If so, how? Thanks in advance.
Kind regards

 If you want to wait till all methods finishes, what is the point in using asynchronous calls ?
|
|
|
|

they might take quite some time for processing and they should run parallel. once all of them are done, i need to move on.

Not tested this, but I believe this almost near to what you need to do. Assume you have MethodInfo array named methods.
WaitHandle[] waitHandles = new WaitHandle[methods.Length];
for(int i = 0;i < methods.Length; i++ )
{
waitHandles[i] = new AutoResetEvent(false);
MethodInfo info = methods[i];
new Thread(delegate(object userState)
{
info.Invoke();
(userState as AutoResetEvent).Set();
}).Start(waitHandles[i]);
}
WaitHandle.WaitAll(waitHandles);

Thank you very much for your reply. That looks very good and I'll test it as soon as I've understood it.  What I don't get is where do I put my parameters (the info object takes a JobInfo parameter) in there and what is the userState object used for?
Kind regards

Well, you need to pass parameter to the Invoke(), right ? You could probably right an inner class and pass this classes instance to the user state, I mean as parameter to the thread's Start() method.
private class DataCarrier
{
JobInfo JobInfoInstance { get; set; }
WaitHandle Handle { get; set; }
DataCarrier(JobInfo info,WaitHandle handle){
this.JobInfoInstance = info;
this.Handle = handle;
}
}You can modify the above said method like
WaitHandle[] waitHandles = new WaitHandle[methods.Length];
for(int i = 0;i < methods.Length; i++ )
{
waitHandles[i] = new AutoResetEvent(false);
MethodInfo info = methods[i];
DataCarrier carrier = new DataCarrier(JobInfoInstance,waitHandles[i]);
new Thread(delegate(object userState)
{
DataCarrier c = userState as DataCarrier;
info.Invoke();
c.Handle.Set();
}).Start(carrier);
}
WaitHandle.WaitAll(waitHandles);
|

Don't get mad at me, but I don't fully understand the lines where the new thread is started.
N a v a n e e t h wrote: new Thread(delegate(object userState)
{
DataCarrier c = userState as DataCarrier;
// use c.JobInfoInstance here
info.Invoke();
c.Handle.Set();
}).Start(carrier);
If I try to compile this in my code, I get the problem that I need to pass a parameter to the info.Invoke() method. Besides that, the WaitHandle doesn't contain a Set() method.
Again, thanks for your help and patience.

Yes. It doesn't contain a set method. It's my mistake, it should be "EventWaitHandle".
private class DataCarrier
{
JobInfo JobInfoInstance { get; set; }
EventWaitHandle Handle { get; set; }
DataCarrier(JobInfo info,EventWaitHandle handle){
this.JobInfoInstance = info;
this.Handle = handle;
}
}

Quoted one is the method which gets executed when thread starts. You can create a new method and put this there if you are confused with anonymous methods. I used it for simplicity.

I want to use MIRR function to Returns a Double specifying the modified internal rate of return for a series of periodic cash flows (payments and receipts).
It is Working Fine in vb.net application
but in c# it is not showing MIRR function
Any Idea about this or any namespace included to show this option in c#
thanks in advance

You should
(1) add a reference to Microsoft.VisualBasic.dll in your project.
(2) use Microsoft.VisualBasic.Financial.MIRR (you may specify using Microsoft.VisualBasic; ad then use Financial.MIRR for code brevity).
