I learned which teams were playing in the Super Bowl from the boy I pick up for church. This kid is very enthusiastic about whatever he is into at the time, so all the way to church I got an earful of how he liked the Broncos and hated the Panthers.
I would have expected a southern boy to be rooting for the Panthers.

Ok I just decided I'm rooting for the Broncos!! :D

(actually I was rooting for them all along because Peyton is a decent, humble man and he acknowledges God with his wins...)

There you go Zero, pick your team after the win......:p

Eyh, programming guys. I am new to this whole threading business.

Why can't I access a control from a different thread?
- and why do I get an error message about this only if I close my streanwriter after ending the threads?

+ Ia there any logical reason that a streamwriter file should be closed before I use the close method on it?


Cannot write to a closed TextWriter pops up as a errorbox
.....
Message "Cross-thread operation not valid: Control 'Form1' accessed from a thread other than the thread it was created on." string
appears in the call stack

There is no error message from VS if I remove the close method.
So withtout it, the program runs and the listbox is filled according to plan
but the output file has no info in it after a run in either case

I know I am probably being braindead, but you should be used to that by now :D

PS: this.Invoke((MethodInvoker)(() =>

helped with the listbox, but makes no difference on writing to file
.................

namespace TestRE_Ex1
{
public partial class Form1 : Form
{

private static Mutex mutex = new Mutex();

private static string filePath = "output.txt";
private static System.IO.StreamWriter file = new System.IO.StreamWriter(filePath);


public Form1()
{
InitializeComponent();
}


private Thread trd;

private void startThreadsButton_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
MessageBox.Show("Starting", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Warning);

for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) {

trd = new Thread(() => threadTask(i+1));
trd.Start();

}
// file.Close();
}


Random rnd;

private void threadTask(int id)
{
mutex.WaitOne();

//listBox1.Items.Add("Starting thread " + (id + 1));
this.Invoke((MethodInvoker)(() => listBox1.Items.Add("Starting thread " + (id + 1))));
this.Invoke((MethodInvoker)(() => listBox1.Refresh()));

rnd = new Random();
int ms = rnd.Next(1000);
string info = "Thread id:" + id + ". Sleep time in ms:" + ms;

Thread.Sleep(ms);
writeToFile(info);

this.Invoke((MethodInvoker)(() => listBox1.Items.Add("Finishing thread " + id + "Sleep time:" + ms )));
this.Invoke((MethodInvoker)(() => listBox1.Refresh()));

mutex.ReleaseMutex(); //*
}

private void writeToFile(string info)
{
file.WriteLine(info);
}


}
}

It's adorable when people return something said out of courtesy that doesn't apply to the person who first said it.

e.g. -
"Okay, well thank you very much for getting me this far."
"You're welcome sir. Good luck!"
"Thanks, you too."

Lol.

We have employees who do that quite often.

"Where were you? You were supposed to take my place at four!"
:goofy grin: "Really? I thought I was supposed to come in at five."

No apology, no thanks for staying for me, no nothing. Yeah, you're welcome for staying here an extra hour to cover for your dilatory self.
