I want to process the http request in thread, the code as follow where the problem is that OutputStream (as noted in codes) can not be writen. When I put this process in main thread, it's no problem. Can you give me any advice?
public partial class MainWindow : Window
{
private void Window_Loaded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
var server = new HttpServer();
try
{
server.EndPoint = new IPEndPoint(127.0.0.0, 80); //set webServer para
server.Start(); //start webServer
server.RequestReceived += server_RequestReceived; //register the event
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
return;
}
}
private void server_RequestReceived(object sender, HttpRequestEventArgs e)
{
var dataProcess = new Action<HttpRequestEventArgs>(DataProcess);
Dispatcher.BeginInvoke(dataProcess,e); //start thread
}
private void DataProcess(HttpRequestEventArgs e)
{
StreamReader sr = new StreamReader(#"c:\test.txt");
string text = sr.ReadToEnd();
using (var writer = new StreamWriter(e.Response.OutputStream)) //**Cannot write stream**
{
writer.Write(text);
}
sr.Close();
}
}
I think your request is being close before the new thread runs. What you can do is to execute the whole request in the new thread. Something like:
public partial class MainWindow : Window
{
private void Window_Loaded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
var start = new Action<HttpRequestEventArgs>(Start);
Dispatcher.start(start,e); //start thread
}
private void Start(HttpRequestEventArgs e)
{
var server = new HttpServer();
server.EndPoint = new IPEndPoint(127.0.0.0, 80); //set webServer para
server.Start(); //start webServe
server.RequestReceived += server_RequestReceived; //register the event
}
private void server_RequestReceived(object sender, HttpRequestEventArgs e)
{
StreamReader sr = new StreamReader(#"c:\test.txt");
string text = sr.ReadToEnd();
using (var writer = new StreamWriter(e.Response.OutputStream)) //**Cannot write stream**
{
writer.Write(text);
}
sr.Close();
}
}
Most likley e.Response.OutputStream is write-only stream which contains response received from the server.
Depending on what you want to do you may either write to request stream or read from OutputStream.
Note: you are using some custom classes, so suggestion is based purely on method names.

My window should display the status of the video stream
and the data sent and received in tcpip.
Every two seconds, the video appears to pause
when writing and reading data on TCP/IP.
How can we solve this phenomenon?
For your information,
The application programs that deal with video stream,
the stream look natural regardless of the tcpip I send and receive.
enter code here
private MJPEGStream m_Stream;
private DispatcherTimer m_Timer = null;
public TcpClient clientTcp = new TcpClient;
public NetworkStream streamTcp = new NetworkStream;
public MainWindow()
{
InitializeComponent();
IpCamera();
OpenTcpIpCommuncation();
}
public void OpenTcpIpCommuncation()
{
var result= clientTcp.BeginConnect("192.168.0.3","24", null, null);
streamTcp = clientTcp.GetStream();
m_Timer = new DispatcherTimer();
m_Timer.Interval = TimeSpan.FromSeconds(2.0);
m_Timer.Tick += new EventHandler(TcpTimer_Tick);
m_Timer.Start();
}
private void TcpTimer_Tick(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
for (int=0; i<20; i++)
{
stream.Write(send_status_packet, 0, Length);
Thread.Sleep(50);
NumberOfBytes = stream.Read(data, 0, data.Length);
}
// label, text etc upate from data
}
public void IpCamera()
{
string sUrl = "http://192.168.0.100:8080" "//" + kCameraInfo.SubUrl;
m_Stream = new MJPEGStream(sUrl);
m_Stream.Login = "admin";
m_Stream.Password = "1234";
m_Stream.NewFrame += Camera_Frame;
m_Stream.Start();
}
private void Camera_Frame(object sender, NewFrameEventArgs eventArgs)
{
try
{
BitmapImage bi;
using (var bitmap = (Bitmap)eventArgs.Frame.Clone())
{
bi = bitmap.ToBitmapImage();
}
bi.Freeze();
Dispatcher.BeginInvoke(new ThreadStart(delegate { imgCamera.Source = bi; }));
}
catch (Exception e)
{
}
}
Thread.Sleep blocks the UI thread.
Not sure why exactly you have this for loop, but it blocks the UI thread for at least 20 * 50 milliseconds, i.e. one second.
As a workaround, you may declare the Tick event handler async and use Task.Delay instead. You may perhaps also use the async versions of the Write and Read methods:
private async void TcpTimer_Tick(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
for (int i = 0; i < 20; i++)
{
await stream.WriteAsync(send_status_packet, 0, Length);
await Task.Delay(50);
NumberOfBytes = await stream.ReadAsync(data, 0, data.Length);
}
...
}
It might also be better not have the loop at all, and run the timer at a shorter interval.
The BackgroundWorker's progressbar is not updated while doing some tasks. What I would like to reach is progressbar moving while iterating through each file in DirectoryInfo. Suppose we have 20 files of ".sql" while first file completed it should be 5%, 10% and etc.
Here is my code.
private void CSV_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
try
{
btnExtract.IsEnabled = false;
workerextract.RunWorkerAsync();
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
System.Windows.MessageBox.Show(ex.Message);
}
}
private void workerextract_DoWork(object sender, System.ComponentModel.DoWorkEventArgs e)
{
try
{
this.Dispatcher.Invoke(() =>
{
DirectoryInfo di = new DirectoryInfo(txtQueryfolder.Text);
files = di.GetFiles("*.sql").Count();
currentfile = 0;
foreach (FileInfo fi in di.GetFiles("*.sql"))
{
// Open the text file using a stream reader.
using (StreamReader sr = new StreamReader(fi.FullName))
{
// Read the stream to a string, and write the string to the console.
string line = sr.ReadToEnd();
//System.Windows.MessageBox.Show(line);
ExtractToCSV(line, System.IO.Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(fi.Name));
currentfile++;
}
int percentage = (currentfile + 1) * 100 / files;
workerextract.ReportProgress(percentage);
}
});
}
catch(Exception ex)
{
System.Windows.MessageBox.Show(ex.Message);
}
}
private void workerextract_ProgressChanged(object sender, System.ComponentModel.ProgressChangedEventArgs e)
{
progressBarExtract.Value = e.ProgressPercentage;
}
private void workerextract_RunWorkerCompleted(object sender, RunWorkerCompletedEventArgs e)
{
btnExtract.IsEnabled = true;
System.Windows.MessageBox.Show("CSV Data extraction finished!");
}
I found that
private void workerextract_ProgressChanged(object sender,
System.ComponentModel.ProgressChangedEventArgs e)
is called once at the end when 100%.
Also,
private void workerextract_RunWorkerCompleted(object sender,
RunWorkerCompletedEventArgs e)
never called as I do not see Message Box at the end.
So, I think I am doing something wrong here, could you please direct me on right way?
The problem was in wrapping whole DoWork inside Dispatcher.Invoke.
I need to wrap only those code where it is interacting with UI.
So I changed the code appropriately and it works.
private void workerextract_DoWork(object sender, System.ComponentModel.DoWorkEventArgs e)
{
try
{
this.Dispatcher.Invoke(() =>
{
di = new DirectoryInfo(txtQueryfolder.Text);
});
files = di.GetFiles("*.sql").Count();
currentfile = 0;
foreach (FileInfo fi in di.GetFiles("*.sql"))
{
// Open the text file using a stream reader.
using (StreamReader sr = new StreamReader(fi.FullName))
{
// Read the stream to a string, and write the string to the console.
string line = sr.ReadToEnd();
this.Dispatcher.Invoke(() =>
{
//System.Windows.MessageBox.Show(line);
ExtractToCSV(line, System.IO.Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(fi.Name));
});
currentfile++;
}
int percentage = (currentfile + 1) * 100 / files;
workerextract.ReportProgress(percentage);
}
}
catch(Exception ex)
{
System.Windows.MessageBox.Show(ex.Message);
}
}
Thanks to all for showing the direction.
Using this.Dispatcher.Invoke in the BackgroundWorker's DoWork event you are executing the whole operation in the UI thread; which is what BackgroundWorker born to avoid to do.
Also, you get an error unwrapping your code from the dispatcher because you are accessing an UI object, which is txtQueryfolder.
Just use:
private void workerextract_DoWork(object sender, System.ComponentModel.DoWorkEventArgs e)
{
string queryFolder = e.Argument.ToString();
try
{
DirectoryInfo di = new DirectoryInfo(queryFolder);
files = di.GetFiles("*.sql").Count();
currentfile = 0;
foreach (FileInfo fi in di.GetFiles("*.sql"))
{
// Open the text file using a stream reader.
using (StreamReader sr = new StreamReader(fi.FullName))
{
// Read the stream to a string, and write the string to the console.
string line = sr.ReadToEnd();
//System.Windows.MessageBox.Show(line);
// ExtractToCSV shouldn't access to a UI object.
ExtractToCSV(line, System.IO.Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(fi.Name));
currentfile++;
}
int percentage = (currentfile + 1) * 100 / files;
workerextract.ReportProgress(percentage);
}
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
// Don't use MessageBox in a thread different from the UI one. Just set the result (e.Result) and get that in the RunWorkerCompleted event.
// System.Windows.MessageBox.Show(ex.Message);
}
}
When you call the RunWorkerAsync method just add the parameter like below:
workerextrac.RunWorkerAsync(txtQueryfolder.Text);
Ok, so I'm attempting to create a simple Chat application over TCP/IP for a group of friends of mine who play DnD online. Eventually I want to add more features, but for now I just want the chat to work!!
Here is the code I have for the Main Server
class MainServer
{
IPAddress m_address = IPAddress.Parse("127.0.0.1");
Int32 m_port = 5550;
public static Hashtable userNicknames = new Hashtable(50);
public static Hashtable connectionToNick = new Hashtable(50);
public MainServer()
{
TcpListener listener = new TcpListener(m_address, m_port);
Thread listenThread = new Thread(new ParameterizedThreadStart(StartListening));
listenThread.Start(listener);
Console.WriteLine("Listening for incoming connection requests...");
}
private void StartListening(Object listener)
{
TcpListener server = (TcpListener)listener;
ClientCommCenter commC;
server.Start();
while (true)
{
if (server.Pending())
{
TcpClient client = server.AcceptTcpClient();
Console.WriteLine("Client has connected...");
commC = new ClientCommCenter(client);
}
}
}
public static void SendSystemMessage(string msg)
{
StreamWriter writer;
TcpClient[] connectedClients = new TcpClient[MainServer.userNicknames.Count];
MainServer.userNicknames.Values.CopyTo(connectedClients, 0);
for (int ii = 0; ii < connectedClients.Length; ii++)
{
try
{
if (msg.Trim().Equals(String.Empty))
continue;
writer = new StreamWriter(connectedClients[ii].GetStream());
writer.WriteLine("Message from server: " + msg);
writer.Flush();
writer = null;
}
catch (Exception e)
{
MainServer.userNicknames.Remove(MainServer.connectionToNick[connectedClients[ii]]);
MainServer.connectionToNick.Remove(connectedClients[ii]);
}
}
}
public static void SendMessageToAll(string nickname, string msg)
{

MainServer.userNicknames.Values.CopyTo(connectedClients, 0);
for (int ii = 0; ii < connectedClients.Length; ii++)
{
try
{
if (msg.Trim().Equals(String.Empty))
continue;
writer = new StreamWriter(connectedClients[ii].GetStream());
writer.WriteLine(nickname + ": " + msg);
writer.Flush();
writer = null;
}
catch (Exception e)
{
String user = (string)MainServer.connectionToNick[connectedClients[ii]];
SendSystemMessage("ATTENTION: " + user + " has disconnected from chat");
MainServer.userNicknames.Remove(user);
MainServer.connectionToNick.Remove(connectedClients[ii]);
}
}
}
}
Here is the main communication class, used separately by each client
class ClientCommCenter
{
TcpClient m_client;
StreamReader m_reader;
StreamWriter m_writer;
String m_nickname;
public ClientCommCenter(TcpClient client)
{
m_client = client;
Thread chatThread = new Thread(new ThreadStart(StartChat));
chatThread.Start();
}
private String GetNick()
{
m_writer.WriteLine("Enter a nickname to begin.");
m_writer.Flush();
return m_reader.ReadLine();
}
private void StartChat()
{
m_reader = new StreamReader(m_client.GetStream());
m_writer = new StreamWriter(m_client.GetStream());
m_writer.WriteLine("Connected to DnD Chat!!");
m_nickname = GetNick();
while (MainServer.userNicknames.Contains(m_nickname))
{
m_writer.WriteLine("ERROR!!! Username already in use");
m_nickname = GetNick();
}
MainServer.userNicknames.Add(m_nickname, m_client);
MainServer.connectionToNick.Add(m_client, m_nickname);
MainServer.SendSystemMessage("****** " + m_nickname + " ****** has joined the chat!");
m_writer.WriteLine("Now connected....");
m_writer.Flush();
Thread startChatting = new Thread(new ThreadStart(runChat));
startChatting.Start();
}
private void runChat()
{
try
{
String clientMessage = String.Empty;
while(true){
clientMessage = m_reader.ReadLine();
MainServer.SendMessageToAll(m_nickname, clientMessage);
}
}
catch(Exception e)
{
Console.WriteLine(e);
}
}
}
And finally, here is the code for the Client class:
public partial class MainForm : Form

}
if (reader.Peek() > 0)
{

}
}
}
private void toolstripConnectButton_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)

while (true)
{

}
}
private void sendButton_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
SendChat();
}
}
The problem that I am having with the above code is this: I can connect to the running server perfectly fine, and I am correctly prompted by the server that I have connected, and it then prompts me for a nickname.
I type the nickname into the text box and press send. After this occurs however, I stop receiving messages from the server all together. Literally nothing. I can even spam the connect button and it constantly shows up with the same two messages:
"Connected"
"Enter a nickname"
I have been trying to figure this out for close to 5 hours now, and I simply have no idea what is going on. I have a feeling it is something incredibly simple, as the solution is ALWAYS simple.
So, generous people of SO, can you figure out my problem? Why does my streamreader and streamwriter suddenly stop working?!?!?!
Two things:
First, skip the if (reader.Peek() > 0). Just call reader.ReadLine(); this will block until you have a line available. I am not sure why, but even after sending the message, Peek is returning -1, but ReadLine returns a line at that point, fixing the problem. Anyway, spinning around on Application.DoEvents() is not helping matters.
(Similarly, you can skip if (server.Pending())).
Second, your use of Invoke is faulty; you should not be "Invoking" RunChat() because that is the method that repeatedly polls the stream for new data. This means you will run the entire method on the UI thread, which is precisely what you want to avoid. The UI is busy pumping the Windows message queue. You should "Invoke" only the code that modifies the control's properties.
(I suspect that is why you found it necessary to use Application.DoEvents() anyway. You shouldn't need it if you are handling your threading correctly.)
(Also, the first thing you should do is to check InvokeRequired. As your method is now, you're creating a StreamReader that you can never use. There are other places where you do that, but that's off topic.)
Here are two suggestions:
private void RunChat()
{
StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(client.GetStream());
Delegate invoker = new Action<string>(AppendChatText);
while (true)
Invoke(invoker, reader.ReadLine());
}
or, to use the more classic "invoke" pattern:
private void RunChat()
{
StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(client.GetStream());
while (true)
AppendChatText(reader.ReadLine());
}
private void AppendChatText(string text)
{
if (this.InvokeRequired)
{
this.Invoke((Action<string>)AppendChatText, text);
return;
}
chatDisplay.AppendText(text + "\r\n");
chatDisplay.SelectionStart = chatDisplay.Text.Length;
}
The first has the advantage of creating only one Delegate object; the second creates a new one each time.
Finally, this is a very C# 1.2 approach to the problem. A more up-to-date approach would use async/await to avoid creating all those threads (not to mention System.Collections.Generic.Dictionary<,> instead of HashTable).
I am trying to build a chat, basically i used the invoke function what a thread.
I am able to read what the server sends me, but i am able to write only once. i am trying to finish this but not sure how to write to server each time the server:
(take into account that i wrote this before in console application form and the server works fine... i.e. the problem isnt with the server).
public partial class Form1 : Form
{
public Form1()
{
InitializeComponent();
Button btn1 = new Button();
btn1.Click += button1_Click;
}
StreamReader sr;
StreamWriter sw;
TcpClient connection;
private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
connection = new TcpClient("127.0.0.1", 5000);
sr = new StreamReader(connection.GetStream());
sw = new StreamWriter(connection.GetStream());
}
private void button2_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Thread t2 = new Thread(Reader);
t2.Start(connection);
}
string msg;
public void Reader(object o)
{
TcpClient con = o as TcpClient;
if (con == null)
return;
while (true)
{
msg = sr.ReadLine();
Invoke(new Action(Output));
}
}
public void Output()
{
ChatScreen.Text = msg;//set the message on the screen
}
string textinput;
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
textinput = InputLine.Text;
sw.WriteLine(textinput);// this thing, writes once, multiple clicks wont send a new line to the server :(..the problem is in this button
sw.Flush();
}
}
what I thought to do is to connect the button so it will be able to do multiple clicks ..e.g btn.Click()..or run a thread with invoke on the WriteLine (but my intuition says that making the button click several times would make the program work
You need to stop the thread process when you close the form, if not when you try to do the invoke, it will fail because the form is disposed and it can't be used to do an invoke. You can override the dispose method to stop the reader thread or you can do it on the onclose method. Or you can check on the reader process if the control it's available (it is not disposed) and if it's not available finish the read process.
You should prevent that the reader process will be launch multiple times too, to prevent errors, so you need to disable the button when the thread is run.
Edited:
You can use something like the following code to read multiple lines and to stop the thread when you close the form.
private bool mbIsRunning = true;
private void Form1_Closing(object sender, System.ComponentModel.CancelEventArgs e)
{
lock (this)
{
mbIsRunning= false;
}
}
private bool IsRunning
{
get
{
lock(this)
{
return mbIsRunning;
}
}
}
string msg;
public void Reader(object o)
{
TcpClient con = o as TcpClient;
if (con == null)
return;
while (IsRunning)
{
msg = reader.ReadLine();
string line;
while( (line = reader.ReadLine()) != null )
{
msg = msg + Enviroment.NewLine + line;
}
Invoke(new Action(Output));
}
}
Running up your code, I get a bunch of errors - from the TcpClient throwing an exception and so on.
However, assuming that you haven't posted all of your code, I would recommend putting a try...catch around all of your functions, and then breakpoints in the catch to see what the problem is. Examine the exceptions - exceptions should only be thrown in exceptional circumstances - so your code should really work without doing that.

I am using VSTS 2008 + C# + .Net 3.5 + ASP.Net + IIS 7.0 to develop a Windows Forms application at client side to upload a file, and at server side I receive this file using an aspx file.
I find my client side application will hang after click the button to trigger upload event. Any ideas what is wrong and how to solve? Thanks!
Client side code,
public partial class Form1 : Form
{
private static WebClient client = new WebClient();
private static ManualResetEvent uploadLock = new ManualResetEvent(false);
private static void Upload()
{
try
{
Uri uri = new Uri("http://localhost/Default2.aspx");
String filename = #"C:\Test\1.dat";
client.Headers.Add("UserAgent", "TestAgent");
client.UploadProgressChanged += new UploadProgressChangedEventHandler(UploadProgressCallback);
client.UploadFileCompleted += new UploadFileCompletedEventHandler(UploadFileCompleteCallback);
client.UploadFileAsync(uri, "POST", filename);
uploadLock.WaitOne();
}
catch (Exception e)

Console.WriteLine(e.StackTrace.ToString());
}
}
public static void UploadFileCompleteCallback(object sender, UploadFileCompletedEventArgs e)

Console.WriteLine("Completed! ");
uploadLock.Set();
}
private static void UploadProgressCallback(object sender, UploadProgressChangedEventArgs e)

e.ProgressPercentage);
// Console.WriteLine (e.ProgressPercentage);
}
public Form1()
{
InitializeComponent();
}
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Upload();
}
}
Server side code:
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
string agent = HttpContext.Current.Request.Headers["UserAgent"];
using (FileStream file = new FileStream(#"C:\Test\Agent.txt", FileMode.Append, FileAccess.Write))
{
byte[] buf = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(agent);
file.Write(buf, 0, buf.Length);
}
foreach (string f in Request.Files.AllKeys)
{
HttpPostedFile file = Request.Files[f];
file.SaveAs("C:\\Test\\UploadFile.dat");
}
}
you are waiting in the main windows events thread, so your GUI will be frozen.
Try this (using non static methods allows you to use the Control.Invoke method to run callbacks on the windows GUI thread and free this thread in order to redraw)
public partial class Form1 : Form
{
private static WebClient client = new WebClient();
private static ManualResetEvent uploadLock = new ManualResetEvent(false);
private void Upload()
{
try
{
Cursor=Cursors.Wait;
Uri uri = new Uri("http://localhost/Default2.aspx");
String filename = #"C:\Test\1.dat";
client.Headers.Add("UserAgent", "TestAgent");
client.UploadProgressChanged += new UploadProgressChangedEventHandler(UploadProgressCallback);
client.UploadFileCompleted += new UploadFileCompletedEventHandler(UploadFileCompleteCallback);
client.UploadFileAsync(uri, "POST", filename);
}
catch (Exception e)
{
Console.WriteLine(e.StackTrace.ToString());
this.Cursor=Cursors.Default;
this.Enabled=false;
}
}
public void UploadFileCompleteCallback(object sender, UploadFileCompletedEventArgs e)
{
// this callback will be invoked by the async upload handler on a ThreadPool thread, so we cannot touch anything GUI-related. For this we have to switch to the GUI thread using control.BeginInvoke
if(this.InvokeRequired)
{
// so this is called in the main GUI thread
this.BeginInvoke(new UploadFileCompletedEventHandler(UploadFileCompleteCallback); // beginInvoke frees up the threadpool thread faster. Invoke would wait for completion of the callback before returning.
}
else
{
Cursor=Cursors.Default;
this.enabled=true;
MessageBox.Show(this,"Upload done","Done");
}
public Form1()
{
InitializeComponent();
}
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Upload();
}
}
}
And do the same thing in your progress (you could update a progressbar indicator for example).
