[Guest]

Dear ng,

i have developed a winforms application with vs2005.
An progress from with a animation and a timer is shown while the
application is working.

The trouble is, that often a ThreadAbordException occurs and i can not
identify
whats the reason is.

Can somebody help, please?


Thank you very much

Try
If tspProgress.Visible = True Then
Me.Enabled = False
Startzeit = Now
Dim WorkingStart As
System.Threading.ParameterizedThreadStart = New
System.Threading.ParameterizedThreadStart(AddressOf ShowfrmWorking)
workingThread = New System.Threading.Thread(WorkingStart)

workingThread.SetApartmentState(System.Threading.ApartmentState.STA)
workingThread.Start()
Else
Me.Enabled = True
If (Not workingThread Is Nothing AndAlso
workingThread.IsAlive) Then
workingThread.Abort()
End If
While (workingThread.IsAlive)
Application.DoEvents()
End While
End If
Catch ex As Threading.ThreadAbortException
ErrorLog(ex)
Catch ex As Exception

What is the purpose of the below code? Immediately after you start the
thread you are aborting it?

/////////////////
If (Not workingThread Is Nothing AndAlso workingThread.IsAlive) Then
workingThread.Abort()
End If
////////////////

I also think the below is redundant, if you spawn a seperate thread
you shouldn't need to call DoEvents:

//////////////
While (workingThread.IsAlive)
Application.DoEvents()
End While
//////////////

Thanks,

Calling Thread.Abort will cause a ThreadAbortException.
