How to use Multi threading in my project?

I am practicing an OCR program using C#, I am not much of a coder so I am trying to find my way around.
1- I OCR some pdf files.
2- I see the output of the OCR.
3- I use UI buttons to browse and then click convert.
4- I have a progress bar on the UI but it does not visually upgrade, while when I log the progressBar.Value I see its numbers are updating.
So I searched around and I found that the issue is I should like stop the thread and create a new one for the Ui to visually update, but I really do not understand that, or even do not know how to do it.
Can someone please help me ? like baby steps.
Also I know I have copied and pasted like alot of code for you to see.
The case is the following:
1- class fmMain: Form has a progressBarIncrementation function, responsible for taking the increment value from a function in processFunctions class.
2- progressBarIncrementation function has progressBar.Value to be updated, I see its value updated.
3- But visually nothing is updated. I tried some threading code, but i do not understand it so.....
class processFunctions
{
Thread newThread = Thread.CurrentThread;
private string invoiceNameIndex = "";
private string invoiceIBANIndex = "";
private string invoiceNumberIndex = "";
private string invoiceDateIndex = "";
private string invoiceSubtotalIndex = "";
private string invoiceVATIndex = "";
private string invoiceTotalIndex = "";
private string[] filePath;
private string[] fileNamePDF;
private int totalNumberOfFiles;
private string InformationNeeded(string wholeRead, string ix)
{
string[] lines = wholeRead.Split(new[] { "\r\n", "\r", "\n", " " }, StringSplitOptions.None);
if(ix.Contains(","))
{
string[] variableIndex = ix.Split(',');
string name = "";
for(int i =0; i < variableIndex.Length; i++)
{
name += lines[Convert.ToInt32(variableIndex[i])];
}
return name;
}
return lines[Convert.ToInt32(ix)];
}
public void ocrFunction(string filePathOnly)
{
var Ocr = new AutoOcr();
var Results = Ocr.ReadPdf(filePathOnly);
var Barcodes = Results.Barcodes;
var Text = Results.Text;
string[] numbers = { invoiceNameIndex, invoiceIBANIndex, invoiceNumberIndex,
invoiceDateIndex, invoiceSubtotalIndex, invoiceVATIndex, invoiceTotalIndex};
string[] results = new string[numbers.Count()];
for (int i = 0; i < numbers.Length; i++)
{
results[i] = InformationNeeded(Text, numbers[i]);
Console.WriteLine(results[i]);
}
Results = null;

//progressBar.Value += incrementbar;
}
}

If you are needing the progress bar, you might want to consider creating an event to help report progress to your calling application. And you'll want to mark your function browseFile as async and do the following:
public async Task<int> browseFileAsync()
{
await Task.Run(new Action(() => {
OpenFileDialog ofd = new OpenFileDialog();
int numberOfFilesToBeProcessed = 0;
ofd.Filter = "PDF|*.pdf";
ofd.Multiselect = true;
string[] name = new string[2];
if (ofd.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK)
{
numberOfFilesToBeProcessed = ofd.FileNames.Length;
filePath = ofd.FileNames;
fileNamePDF = ofd.SafeFileNames;
}
this.totalNumberOfFiles = ofd.FileNames.Length;
return numberOfFilesToBeProcessed;
}));
}
And then in your calling application do:
private async void BtnBrowse_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
//Browse the file needed to scan.
{
int number = await processMain.browseFileAsync();
txtBoxFilePath.Text = number.ToString();
}
I would also consider not calling a folder browser dialog from your class as this couples your class to a specific implementation. Rather, I would browse for the file from the GUI and pass the selected file(s) to the class.

I want to invoke timer in my c# code on button click.It works well in form load event but didn't work in button click

I want to invoke timer in my c# code on button click.It works well in form load event but didn't work in button click.Please help me to fix it.Thank's in advance.
My code is Here:
public partial class Form1 : Form
{
public int TimeTaken;
public Form1()
{
InitializeComponent();
lblFilesCount.Text = lblFoldersCount.Text = "0";
}
private void btnFolderBrowse_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
DialogResult result = fbdFoldersFiles.ShowDialog();
if (result == DialogResult.OK)
{
string[] files = Directory.GetFiles(fbdFoldersFiles.SelectedPath);
MessageBox.Show("Files found: " + files.Length.ToString(), "Message");
}
txtFolderPath.Text = fbdFoldersFiles.SelectedPath;
}
private void btnDeleteFiles_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
timerDelete.Enabled= true;
string path = fbdFoldersFiles.SelectedPath;
DirectoryInfo dirFirst = new DirectoryInfo(path);
foreach (FileInfo file in dirFirst.GetFiles())
{
timerDelete.Enabled = true;
DateTime dt = File.GetLastWriteTime(file.FullName);
if (dt < dtpDate.Value)
{
DeleteFiles(file);
}
}
string[] dirArray = Directory.GetDirectories(path, "*", SearchOption.AllDirectories).ToArray();
Array.Reverse(dirArray);
foreach (var directory in dirArray)
{
if (Directory.GetFiles(directory).Length > 0 || Directory.GetDirectories(directory).Length>0)
{
DirectoryInfo dir = new DirectoryInfo(directory);
FileInfo[] files = dir.GetFiles().ToArray();
foreach (FileInfo file in files)
{
timerDelete.Enabled = true;
DateTime dt = File.GetLastWriteTime(file.FullName);
if (dt < dtpDate.Value)
{
DeleteFiles(file);
}
}
if (Directory.GetFiles(directory).Length == 0 )
{
dir.Delete(true);
lblFoldersCount.Text = (Convert.ToInt32(lblFoldersCount.Text) + 1).ToString();
}
}
}
timerDelete.Enabled = false;
}
protected void DeleteFiles(FileInfo DeleteFile)
{
dgvDisplayFilesInfo.Rows.Add();
int RowIndex = dgvDisplayFilesInfo.RowCount - 1;
DataGridViewRow r = dgvDisplayFilesInfo.Rows[RowIndex];
r.Cells["dgvColoumnSrNo"].Value = RowIndex+1;
r.Cells["dgvColumnFullName"].Value = DeleteFile.Name;
r.Cells["dgvColumnPath"].Value = DeleteFile.Directory;
DeleteFile.Delete();
lblFilesCount.Text = (Convert.ToInt32(lblFilesCount.Text)+1).ToString();
}
private void timerDelete_Tick(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
TimeTaken = TimeTaken++;
lblShowTimeTaken.Text = TimeTaken.ToString();
}
}

First of all you are setting the Enabled=True in the foreach which I don't think it's what you intended. 2nd of all, why don't you use Stopwatch component. It's much easier to use.
Stopwatch sw = new Stopwatch();
sw.Start();
....
sw.Stop();
Console.WriteLine(sw.ElapsedMilliseconds.ToString())

how to add values from var to listview?

public static bool loadFileview(Int64 uname,out string[] filename,out string[] extn)
{
bool b = false;
SCPEntities ent = new SCPEntities();
filename = null;
extn = null;
var data = (from n in ent.User_Data where n.Account_Num == uname select new { n.File_Name, n.Extn }).ToList();
int i = 0;
foreach (var v in data)
{
filename[i] = v.File_Name;
extn[i] = v.Extn;
i++;
}
if(liv1!=n)
{
b = true;
// liv = data;
}
return b;
}
}
method call
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
string[] fname;
string[] extn;
Int64 uname = 12121;
bool b = false;
b= home.loadFileview(uname, out fname,out extn);
if (b)
{
for (int count = 0; count <fname.Length; count++)
{
ListViewItem listItem = new ListViewItem(fname[count]);
listItem.SubItems.Add(extn[count]);
FileListView.Items.Add(listItem);
}
}
I want to bind filename & extn to listview control listview11 dynamically, how?

try this:
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
string[] fname;
string[] extn;
Int64 uname = 12121;
bool b = false;
b= home.loadFileview(uname, out fname,out extn);
if (b)
{
for (int count = 0; count <fname.Length; count++)
{
ListViewItem listItem = new ListViewItem (new[] { fname[count], extn[count]})
FileListView.Items.Add(listItem);
}
}
}

Deleting items from listbox raises exception

I need to be able to delete items from a listbox but when I press the delete function and say yes I want to delete I get this exception: Items collection cannot be modified when the DataSource property is set.
Now I want to know what to do about this.

The error says it quite clearly: you have to remove the item from the underlying datasource, you can't delete it manually. If you want to remove/add items manually, you shouldn't use databinding but build the list by hand.

As exception say you can't delete items directly from ListBox - you have to remove it from underlying DataSource and then rebind control (if it is not bound to BindingSource for example)
private void button3_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (MessageBox.Show("You are about to delete application: "+ Environment.NewLine + _applicationListBox.SelectedItem +Environment.NewLine + " Are you sure you want to delete the application?", "", MessageBoxButtons.YesNo) == DialogResult.No)

}
else if (this._applicationListBox.SelectedIndex >= 0)
{
var item = this.GetCurrentApplication();
_toepassingIniFile.ToePassingen.Remove(item);
_applicationListBox.DataSource = null;
_applicationListBox.DataSource = _toepassingIniFile.ToePassingen;
}
}
Your code is hard to read so I was a bit guessing with classes etc, but it should work.

Try to remove from datasource itself as below:
string myobj = this._applicationListBox.SelectedValue.ToString();
data.Remove(myobj );
_applicationListBox.DataSource = null;
_applicationListBox.DataSource = data;

As others have said. You must have a list that is bound to the listbox. You cannot delete from the listbox directly.
You should delete from the List
private Toepassinglist _toepassingList
That is the datasource for your listbox.
Delete the item you want like so...
this._toepassingList.Items.RemoveAt(this._applicationListBox.SelectedIndex);

You can delete from list:---
ListName.Items.RemoveAt(postion);

Need help getting listbox item text from secondary form to main form

I have been looking all over the Internet for this and have found similar, but none of it will work for me. Everything I have found assumes the listbox is on the main form and not the secondary form, or the code is for an older version of C# or Visual Studio (I am using VS2008).
I am creating a web browser that has a button on the main form (called frmMyBrowser) to open a dialog (frmBookmarks) with a listbox (lstBookmark) with bookmarked URLs. I need to be able to double click on an item (the bookmarked URL) and have the text pasted into the address bar (cmbAddress) of the main form.
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.

I figured out that if I create the window at runtime, I can get it to work. In case anyone is interested, the code I used is below.
