Thread in a web service doesn't start when called it from windows service

I have a windows service,the codes in that body are in a elapsed timer method. I call some web services in a loop,that those web services run in a thread.
I checked the services on servers, they dont start.
And when I take out the codes from thread body,those worked.
This is my windows service code that calls webservices from servers.
private void CallServiceForTrancoding(object sender, System.Timers.ElapsedEventArgs e)

You are serializing a task. You surely want to wait for the result, don't you?

I debugged my web service and I found that the issue is related to httpcontext.current in thread is null .
For that I defined HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath("/video/") as a variable in a class and I recalled it from the webservice.

How to clear previous lines from StreamWriter?

void BuildProjects()
{
String outputPath = #"D:\PIT\ProcessImprovementTool\DLL";
console = new Process();
console.StartInfo.FileName = "cmd.exe";
console.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = false;

console.StartInfo.RedirectStandardError = true;
console.Exited += new EventHandler((sender, e) =>
{
Console.WriteLine("if (console.Exited) --> ExitCode: " + console.ExitCode);
BuildProjects();
});
console.OutputDataReceived += new DataReceivedEventHandler(ConsoleOutputHandler);
console.ErrorDataReceived += new DataReceivedEventHandler(ConsoleOutputHandler);
console.Start();
using (StreamWriter sw = console.StandardInput)
{
sw.AutoFlush = true;
console.StandardInput.AutoFlush = true;
if (sw.BaseStream.CanWrite)
{
sw.WriteLine("D:\\PIT\\ProcessImprovementTool\\callVcvars32.bat");
sw.WriteLine("cls");
for (int ctr = 0; ctr < 5; ctr++)
{
sw.WriteLine("msbuild /property:OutputPath=" + outputPath + #";OutputType=Library " + lines[ctr]);
//console.BeginOutputReadLine();
sw.Flush();
}
}
if (tryout)
{
Console.WriteLine("working");
}
sw.Close();
//sw.Flush();
}
console.BeginOutputReadLine();
console.BeginErrorReadLine();
//console.WaitForExit();
counter++;
}
in the
for (int ctr = 0; ctr < 5; ctr++)
{
sw.WriteLine("msbuild /property:OutputPath=" + outputPath + #";OutputType=Library " + lines[ctr]);
//console.BeginOutputReadLine();
sw.Flush();
}
if i set the limit for ctr to 40 (ctr < 40) my application hangs, and I get that the stream is already at its limit.
Based on my research, .Flush() should do the trick. or setting AutoFlush to True, but doesn't seem to work.
so how do I clear previous stream records, or anything that would let me input more than 40 lines? (i got 100+ but not more than 150 lines to write in streamWriter).
lines variable stores the value of "build.txt".
void readFromBuild()
{
doneReading = true;
lines = System.IO.File.ReadAllLines(#"D:\PIT\ProcessImprovementTool\Build\build.txt");
//System.Console.WriteLine("Contents of WriteLines2.txt = ");
foreach (string line in lines)
{
lineCount++;
}
Console.WriteLine(lineCount);
lineCount = lineCount - limit;
}
"build.txt" contains all files to be compiled to produce DLL files.

For me, this is as good as answered. I just did it in another way, though it may not be that good.
buildProgress.Enabled = true;
buildProgress.Maximum = lineCount;

{
sw.WriteLine(#"Q:\");
sw.WriteLine("msbuild /property:OutputPath=" + outputPath + #";OutputType=Library " + lines[ctr]);
sw.Flush();
}
sw.Close();
}
reader = console.StandardOutput;
outputLine = reader.ReadToEnd();
console.WaitForExit();
//if (console.HasExited)
//{
Console.Write(outputLine);
//outputTextBox.Text += outputLine;
pathToLog = #"Q:\" + fileList[ctr];
File.Create(pathToLog).Dispose();
File.WriteAllText(pathToLog, outputLine);
buildProgress.Value = ctr;
string[] readThatLog = File.ReadAllLines(pathToLog);
foreach(string line in readThatLog)

How do I call another WPF Window while in a Background Worker

I have a WPF App that allows the user to choose one to many spreadsheets and performs a process to clean the data and write out a pipe delimited files. I am trying to use a Background Worker in order to display a progress bar. The problem I am having is that I have the backgroundworker_DoWork routine to perform the read the excel file, clean the data and write out the data. For each spreadsheet the user is allowed to specify the range for the data or to let Excel decided the range. I call a dialog for this input. I get the error "The calling thread must be STA, because many UI components require this." I have been trying to find a fix for this but everything I try doesn't work.
Here is my code. I have put comments where the offending code is and what I have tried so far.

How to scan a file while uploading using Kendo UI in ASP.NET MVC 4

How can I scan (Symantec) a file for a virus while uploading, using Kendo UI Upload?

This question was answered on the Telerik forum:
The Kendo UI Upload does not include any file scanning capabilities
and frankly speaking, we have no intentions with this regard for the
time being. You can scan files via custom implementation or a tool
after saving them on the server, in the same fashion as you would do
that with a plain element.
You'll need to implement general server-side scanning of files, Kendo UI doesn't support it.

c# application becomes unresponsive when loading an image

I'm creating a tool that reads information from a file and also displays an image extracted from said file as well. it reads the info just fine and everything but when it comes to displaying the image it freezes the program without an error. the program just becomes unresponsive. the debugger doesn't say anything either except after some time it will say the thread has exited with still no response from the program.
i need to rename some stuff as i don't want to get in trouble
Here's the code I'm using to extract and display the image:
try
{
global.meta.filetype = STFSRead.readString_C(0, 4);
textBox2.Text = global.meta.filetype;
textBox3.Text = STFSRead.detectType(global.meta.contype.ToString("X4"));
textBox4.Text = global.meta.metaversion.ToString();
textBox5.Text = global.meta.id1;
textBox6.Text = global.meta.version.ToString("X");
textBox7.Text = global.meta.version2.ToString("X");
textBox8.Text = global.meta.id2;
textBox9.Text = global.meta.id3;
textBox10.Text = global.meta.id4;
textBox11.Text = global.meta.id5;
textBox12.Text = global.meta.displayname;
textBox13.Text = global.meta.titlename;
textBox14.Text = STFSRead.detectSomeInfo(global.meta.aflag.ToString("X2"));
pictureBox1.Image = STFSRead.loadImage();
}
catch
{
throw new Exception("What did you do?\n All this is suppose to do is read a file, how did you screw that up?");
}
public static Image loadImage()
{
Exception failed = new Exception("LoadImage failed. Contact a developer");
string path = Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.LocalApplicationData) + "/appname/cache/";
string imgname = global.meta.id.Replace(" ", "") + ".png";
if (Directory.Exists(#path))
{
if (File.Exists(#path + imgname))
{
using (Image img = Image.FromFile(#path + imgname))
{
return img;
}
throw failed;
}
else if (!File.Exists(#path + imgname))
{
if (extractData(imgname, 0x171A, 0x4000))
{
using (Image img = Image.FromFile(#path + imgname))
{
return img;
}
throw failed;
}
else
throw failed;
}
else
throw failed;
}
else if(!Directory.Exists(#path)){
Directory.CreateDirectory(#path);
if (File.Exists(#path + imgname))
{
using (Image img = Image.FromFile(#path + imgname))
{
return img;
}
throw failed;
}
else if (!File.Exists(#path+imgname))
{
if (extractData(imgname, 0x171A, 0x4000))
{
using (Image img = Image.FromFile(#path + imgname))
{
return img;
}
throw failed;
}
else
throw failed;
}
else
throw failed;
}
else
throw failed;
}
public static bool extractData(string filename, long startpos, long length)
{
string data = STFSRead.readString_A(startpos, length);
string path = Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.LocalApplicationData)+"/appname/cache/";
if (Directory.Exists(#path))
{
using (StreamWriter file = new StreamWriter(#path + filename))
{
file.Write(data);
file.Close();
}
}
else if (!Directory.Exists(#path))
{
Directory.CreateDirectory(#path);
using (StreamWriter file = new StreamWriter(#path + filename))
{
file.Write(data);
file.Close();
}
}
if (File.Exists(#path + filename))
return true;
else
throw new Exception("Couldn't extract file "+filename+" at location "+startpos+" with a length of "+length);
}
public static string readString_A(long startpos, long length)
{
string s = "";
for (long i = startpos; i < startpos + length; i = i++)
{
global.fs.Position = i;
byte[] buf = new byte[1];
global.fs.Read(buf, 0, 1);
if (buf[0] == 0x00) // Null symbol
{
}
else
{
char c = Convert.ToChar(buf[0]);
s += c;
}
}
if (s == "" || s == " ")
{
s = "";
}
return s;
}
I have checked my appdata folder and while the directory gets created, the image does not get created so i'm thinking its failing during extraction. and none of my exceptions get triggered either
Edit: about the exceptions.... i added all of them when the program started screwing up to see if it will trigger them and narrow down where the error might be. i don't want it to handle those exceptions. might not be the best way to do that but i am still learning c# so i don't expect it to be the best way. if there is a better way to do this then let me know.

I think your problem is here:
for (long i = startpos; i < startpos + length; i = i++)
It should be:
for (long i = startpos; i < startpos + length; i++)
i=i++ is not actually incremeting the variable
You can find why here: i = i++ doesn't increment i. Why?. Thanks to #RenniePet for the link.
