I'm having the hardest time trying to get this to work, hoping one of you has done this before. I have a C# console app that is running a child process which inherits its console. I want a ctrl-c caught by the outer app to be passed along to the inner app so that it can have a chance to shut down nicely. I have some very simple code. I...
In C and C++, what is the difference between exit() and abort()? I am trying to end my program after an error (not an exception). ...
I'm trying to gather a complete listing of the reasons a .NET process or thread to terminate, even though the main() method is guarded by a try...catch clause. One such reason is Thread.Abort() (unless you call Thread.ResetAbort). Do you know of more reasons? ...
I have to use an API to make a call to a third party, and ideally use the response it returns. The API has a built-in 30 second timeout, and does not allow you to set that programatically. I need it to time out in 12 seconds. Here's the call I'm making: string response = theAPI.FunctionA(a, b, c, d); I've been thinking I might need ...
I need to call a library function that sometimes won't terminate within a given time, unfortunately. Is there a way to call the function but abort it if it doesn't terminate within n seconds? I cannot modify the function, so I cannot put the abort condition into it directly. I have to add a timeout to the function externally. Is it may...
I am using Inno setup to install a product of mine, in the setup I execute an extern program (Validator.exe) if this program is canceled or aborted I have to cancell my own installer. I save the Validator.exe in {app} path and the execute it. When the installer is running I call Validator.exe file and I get the result of the execution ...
I have some (potentially) long-running ajax calls that I would like to abort if the user navigates to another page. The following jQuery code calls abort on all pending XMLHttpRequest objects upon navigating away from the page: $.ajaxSetup({ beforeSend: function(xhr) { $(window).bind('beforeunload', function() { xhr.abort...
i have some C# threading program (a game), that stops with a boolean (as most articles recommends). while (gameContinueRun) { createRound(); line1; line2; line3; line4; endRound(); } some code lines lock the game and wait until other thread will release it. lock (stateSync) { Monitor.Wait(stateSync) } to stop the thre...
Hello I have created a thread that has a method that's running. But sometimes I will want to kill the thread even if the method is still working. How can I do this? I tried Thread.Abort() but it seems to show up a messagebox saying "Thread aborted". How should I go about this? ...
Install Shield 2009 Premier: Basic MSI Project. I need to check if its admin user and if not showing a message box the installation will abort. How to do it ? ...
I've got a program that's having some trouble during shutdown, raising exceptions that I can't trace back to their source. It appears to be timing-related and non-deterministic. This is occurring after all shared resources have been released, and since it's shutdown, memory leaks are not an issue, so that makes me wonder if there's any...
Does .NET has an Exception that similar to Delphi's EAbort ? Currently, define my own "AbortProcess" inheriting Exception. Together with My.Application.UnhandledException handler that ignoring "AbortProcess" I'm still wondering if similar mechanic in .NET is already exists. Class AbortProcess Inherits System.Exception End Class Su...
A WPF application. Debugging. Stop on break point. After few seconds Visual Studio (2008) spontaneously aborts the application execution. It is never mind what I do after stop on break point: even if I do nothing. With very simple test WPF application everything is OK with debugging. Any ideas? ...
Is it possible to cancel/abort a running build process in Visual Studio 2008? How? ...
Based on documentation and articles it is recommended to call Abort() on a client proxy if an unexpected exception/fault is encountered. See the following (simplified): MyServiceClient proxy = null; try { proxy = new MyServiceClient(); proxy.DoSomething(); proxy.Close(); } catch (Exception ex) { if (proxy != null) ...
PHP scripts can continue executing after the HTTP page request, so how do I finally stop it executing when I'm done with it? Also, is there an event to detect when the OS is going to forcibly abort the script? or how do I keep an internal timer to predict max_execution_time? ...
I deployed a MATLAB project into a DLL, to be called from C++, and it works just fine. Happy days. But what happens when the user asks to cancel an operation? I tried creating a global variable named UserAborted. I initialize it to 0 before running the long function in MATLAB. I also wrote the following two functions: function AbortIf...
Sometimes after calling a function (which takes some 30 odd minutes to finish), you realize that you did something wrong and want to stop the program. How do you do that in MATLAB? What I do is shutdown MATLAB completely and restart. I think there would be a way to abort the execution of the function instead. Anybody know what that is...
I'm getting the response from an HttpWebRequest (using a modified version Jeff Richter's CCR wrappers), then inspecting a few of the headers in order to decide whether or not to continue the download. Sometimes I might not want to continue, so I consequently issue response.Close and request.Abort. Is it necessary to issue GetResponseStre...
When aborting an ajax request with the xhr that's passed back from the jQuery.ajax function, firebug shows that it's still trying to load that request. It doesn't block any more requests that are made, but it also doesn't show that it ever completes the request. Is this just a firebug problem? ...
