Thanks Dave, I believe I understand now...Right now I just want to get the project converted to VB so I can try and understand how it works in VB...yes starting another thread to create and show a form does look like a REALLY bad idea, now that you mention it. thanks again for the help

yep, I totally agree and understand, the reason I posted here is I thought maybe there would be a better chance of finding someone who had WCF experience and c#/vb experience :)

I am trying to convert this C# code to vb and am having some trouble, it is from a WCF project located here http://www.codeproject.com/KB/webservices/wcftransfer.aspx?msg=3269789 I did try a online C# to VB translator but what it spit out as code the VS IDE didn't like Here is the piece of code:
ThreadStart start = delegate
{
form = new TProgress(null, port);
form.sport = sport;
form.Show();
form.GetThread = new Thread(new ParameterizedThreadStart(form.GetInvoke));
form.GetThread.Start(transfer);
};
HelpClass.Form.BeginInvoke(start);
this is as far as I have gotten
'Dim start As New ThreadStart(AddressOf ) <--Not sure what this delegate is, AddressOf "what"?
Dim form As New TProgress(DBNull.Value, port)
form.sport = sport
form.Show()
form.GetThread = New Thread(New ParameterizedThreadStart(AddressOf form.GetInvoke))
form.GetThread.Start(Transfer)
'HelpClass.Form.BeginInvoke(start)
Thanks in advance...

OK, well thanks for looking at it anyway, I appreciate it, I'll keep searching, I just started working with WCF, so I though what better way to learn than to try and convert this project thanks again...

Sorry, still having trouble here is the entire proc I am trying to recreate in VB
public IEnumerable<object> SendQuery(string ip, FilesTransfer transfer, int sport)
{
int port = 0;
switch (transfer.Action)
{
case Action.Invite:
{
port = HelpClass.GetAvailablePort();
if (MessageBox.Show(string.Format("Accept {0} files from {1}", transfer.Files.Count, transfer.Name), "Files", MessageBoxButtons.YesNo) == DialogResult.Yes)
{
ThreadStart start = delegate
{
form = new TProgress(null, port);
form.sport = sport;
form.Show();
form.GetThread = new Thread(new ParameterizedThreadStart(form.GetInvoke));
form.GetThread.Start(transfer);
};
HelpClass.Form.BeginInvoke(start);
break;
}
else return new List<object>() { (int)InviteRusult.Cancel, 0 };
}
default:
{
return new List<object>() { (int)InviteRusult.Busy, 0 };
}
}
return new List<object>() { (int)InviteRusult.Ok, port };
}
An online C# to VB converter spit this out, but the IDE doesn't like 'Dim start As ThreadStart = Function() Do
Public Function SendQuery(ByVal ip As String, ByVal transfer As FilesTransfer, ByVal sport As Integer) As System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable(Of Object) Implements ITransfer.SendQuery
Dim port As Integer = 0
Select Case transfer.Action
Case Action.Invite
If True Then
port = HelpClass.GetAvailablePort()
If MessageBox.Show(String.Format("Accept {0} files from {1}", transfer.Files.Count, transfer.Name), "Files", MessageBoxButtons.YesNo) = DialogResult.Yes Then
'Dim start As ThreadStart = Function() Do
' form = New TProgress(Nothing, port)
' form.sport = sport
' form.Show()
See now if he had inclosed his joke in {} followed by ; I would have gotten the joke right away :-D

I'll try to be a little bit more specific This is the block of code I am trying to translate
ThreadStart start = delegate
{
form = new TProgress(null, port);
form.sport = sport;
form.Show();
form.GetThread = new Thread(new ParameterizedThreadStart(form.GetInvoke));
form.GetThread.Start(transfer);
};
HelpClass.Form.BeginInvoke(start);
This is what I've got so far, my problem is on the first line AddressOf
'Dim start As New ThreadStart(AddressOf) <-- Not sure what this is a delegate of a function, form, ect...
Dim form As New TProgress(DBNull.Value, port)
form.sport = sport
form.Show()
form.GetThread = New Thread(New ParameterizedThreadStart(AddressOf form.GetInvoke))
form.GetThread.Start(Transfer)
'HelpClass.Form.BeginInvoke(start)
thanks

Sorry if I misunderstood the intent of your reply

Not looking for a my language is better than your language debate, just a little help that's all :cool:

I am having trouble converting this section of code from c# to vb also not all that versed in threading. This code came from an example I found on Code project http://www.codeproject.com/KB/webservices/wcftransfer.aspx?msg=3269789 Any help would be appreciated thanks in advance
ThreadStart start = delegate
{
form = new TProgress(null, port);
form.sport = sport;
form.Show();
form.GetThread = new Thread(new ParameterizedThreadStart(form.GetInvoke));
form.GetThread.Start(transfer);
};
HelpClass.Form.BeginInvoke(start);
