Title: Visual C# help
Post by: ViciouZ on December 29, 2007, 03:54:56 PM

Well I have a next to no experience of C#.

Currently when I start a process, the application freezes until the process has finished and exited. Is there any way I can stop this happening without using threads? The structure of my code stops threads being feasible.

No. You need to use threads for there to be more than one thread. :P
There are some objects that make threading a bit easier. But most likely, you're gonna have to hack your code until it can handle threads.

Aww you gotta stop using such an extensive loop, you have no choice but mutlithreading, its not that hard, around 2 lines of code will do(note i learn vb.net not c#)

.Net provides you with a very easy to use Thread class for multithreading. look it up on msdn.

All you have to do is:

Code: [Select]

private Thread th;

public constructor()
{
   CheckForIllegalCrossThreadCalls = false;
   th = new Thread(new ThreadStart(MyNewThread));
   th.Start();
}

private void MyNewThread()
{
    // Add new thread code here.
}

Note the 'constructor' function is the actual constructor of the form, not a function named constructor.
