The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Using BackgroundWorker How do I pass parameters to the GUI Components?

Tags: C#.NET
Using C#.NET VS2005, I have a background worker object. I want to use it to update GUI componets (say a textbox). However, I want to pass that textbox a string parameter from the DoWorkEventHandler.  How do I do this?

I have attached an example of what I want to do.

Do I need to have a global object that I just use Threading Monitor to Enter and Exit to project changes to the global object?

      //In here there will be processing to deceide what should be placed in the textbox, but my question is
      //how do I get the value that I need in the textbox from the DoWork method to the RunWorkerCompleted callback?
     
      if (ab[0] == "happy")
         ab[0] = "not really";
      //Now that I've changed the arrayList, how do I pass it to the RunWorkerCompleted callback so that the string
      //can be placed in the textbox?
 
     
   }
 
   private void backgroundWorker1_RunWorkerCompleted(object sender, RunWorkerCompletedEventArgs e)
   {
      //It is here that I have read that components need to be updated, but from the object sender and 
      //the RunWorkerCompletedEventArgs parameters, how do i get at the arrayList?
   }
