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!

Threading - load data on a different thread and bind and display a messagebox after done.

Asked by srinivas_vemla in C# Programming Language

Tags: thread, different, messagebox, data

I am using C# 1.1.

I have a form with a Load button. When the button is clicked, it takes about 20 seconds to get the data and load. I want to do this over a different thread.

So I use a Thread, ThreadStart and a MethodInvoker. A new Thread is started using a ThreadStart and that thread calls back the main thread for binding the data obtained and for showing a message box saying "Data is loaded". So when the user clicks on the button and remains on the same window, the message box is shown as a Dialog window. But when the user clicks on the button and goes to a different Taskbar item, the message box is shown as a non-dialog item, with it's own entry on the taskbar and it is no more modal. The same is the case when some exception is thrown in the child thread.

How do I make the same behavior both when the current window is selected or otherwise?
