Oops, sorry for posting in wrong form, I did not find another place where I could post this. Will delete this now that I got the answer...

I am seeing broken links in many of the articles/tips/blogs that come up for approval. Is this expected? ::confused::

Yeah, I saw :omg: that!!

Maybe there should be a review on review...!! :) :doh:

Thanks very much for your reply Matt. And great to know that you worked on WWAN APIs! No, the APIs are nice. It is pretty nice as to how they have pulled it off. Finding it really helpful. Since Microsoft did that homework, our live is better and we can spend quality time on other work items. -Sharath

Yes, its the same.

Does anyone know if there are any major difference in Mobile Broadband APIs between NDIS 6.3 and NDIS 6.4 based drivers? As per MS documentation, there is not much of a difference: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/hardware/dn449742(v=vs.85).aspx[^]

Good one!! Lol :)

Thanks very much for the update Sean.

redoing the image link solved the issue. don't know why, but the link changed after submission. wrote a mail to submit@codeproject.com and they approved it faster...

redone the image link, let us see if this fixes the issue... article is again in pending list.. :(

Image links are broken on the article I submitted today. :( It was fine when it was in pending state. Article id is 791286. Does anyone have any idea on this? -Sharath

Debugged it, I missed to supply tags in the Tags text box! :) Successfully submitted the article now...

I am trying to submit my article today and I am getting following error. Tried three times and is getting the same error. Article id is 791286.

Thanks Pete for your valuable input on this...

Is it possible to execute few lines of code on installing a windows Store App? The lines of code that needs to be executed will be part of the store app itself. So far, I am unable to find any information on this, but if any one has any info on this, please let me know. As of now I am trying to evaluate the feasibility.

Thanks to both of you for your valuable help. Changed it as shown below and got it working without loosing sequence and with corresponding thread id...

private void TaskRunButton_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
// clear the list before writing
listBox.Items.Clear();
Task demoTask = new Task(DemoTask);
demoTask.Start();
}

private void DemoTask()
{
try
{
List<Task> tsk1 = new List<Task>();
List<Task> tsk2 = new List<Task>();

	for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++)
	{
		tsk1.Add(new Task(TaskDemoWait100ms));
		tsk2.Add(new Task(TaskDemoWaitWait200ms));
	}

	for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++)
	{
		tsk1\[i\].Start();
		tsk2\[i\].Start();
		tsk2\[i\].Wait();
		listBox.BeginInvoke(new separatorDelegate(() =>
		{ listBox.Items.Add("------------"); }));
	}
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
	string msg = ex.Message;
}

}

delegate void taskdelegate(int threadId);
delegate void separatorDelegate();

private void TaskDemoWait100ms()
{
Thread.Sleep(100);
object[] param = new object[1];

param\[0\] = (object)Thread.CurrentThread.ManagedThreadId;

listBox.BeginInvoke(new taskdelegate((int threadId) =>
{ listBox.Items.Add("Wait 100 ms, Thread Id = " + threadId); }), param);

}

private void TaskDemoWaitWait200ms()
{
Thread.Sleep(200);
object[] param = new object[1];

param\[0\] = (object)Thread.CurrentThread.ManagedThreadId;

listBox.BeginInvoke(new taskdelegate((int threadId) =>
{ listBox.Items.Add("Wait 200 ms, Thread Id = " + threadId); }), param);

}

Thanks very much for your thoughts. Yes, Invoke also blocks as you mentioned. BeginInvoke solves the issue, but sequence goes wrong. Regarding async / await, I am aware of it. In the project from where I took the code and posted here, it has async / await sample also. I am working on a sample for async / await. In that same sample I wanted to add Task.Start() as an example to demonstrate the use of Task.Wait() via another button on the UI. That's the reason I am doing wait immediately after Task.Start() :)

I don't see any failing thread, because I am getting the values in the list box correctly, but as you mentioned, it may fail at any time. Thanks very much for your valuable inputs. I will work on this and update further...

I have a form application with a button and a listbox. When I click the button, I launch about 10 tasks and then do a wait on each of the tasks. When I try to run this from Visual Studio 2013 in Debug mode, I get an exception "One or more errors occurred" at Task.Start() itself, but when I run this outside of the debugger, then it works fine. Is this a Visual Studio issue? Any light on this would be helpful. Please find the code snippet below:

private void SynchronousWait200ms()
{
Thread.Sleep(200);
listBox.Items.Add("Wait 200 ms, Thread Id = " + Thread.CurrentThread.ManagedThreadId);
}

private void TaskRunButton_Click1(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
listBox.Items.Clear();
try
{
List<Task> tsk1 = new List<Task>();

    for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++)
    {
        tsk1.Add(new Task(SynchronousWait200ms));
        tsk1\[i\].Start();
        tsk1\[i\].Wait();
    }

    listBox.Items.Add("------------");
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
    string msg = ex.Message;
}

}
