How can I raise the the event GeocodeAddressEventHandler from another thread?
System.Threading.Thread MapThread;
WinformMap map ;
public delegate void GeocodeAddressEventHandler(object sender, EventArgs e);
public event GeocodeAddressEventHandler GeocodeAddressEvent;
//How to Raise this Event from another thread??
public void GeocodeAddress_Raised(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
MapLib.GeocodeAddress("12798 1ST ST", "", "", "");
}
public bool LoadMap(string restorepoint)
{
////////////////////////Engine Controls////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
try
{
System.ServiceModel.OperationContext context = System.ServiceModel.OperationContext.Current;
//This is to instantiate a winform from a Console (will convert to service shortly)
MapThread = new System.Threading.Thread(new System.Threading.ThreadStart(delegate
{
using (System.ServiceModel.OperationContextScope scope = new System.ServiceModel.OperationContextScope(context))
{
this.GeocodeAddressEvent += new GeocodeAddressEventHandler(GeocodeAddress_Raised);
}
}));
MapThread.SetApartmentState(System.Threading.ApartmentState.STA);
MapThread.Start();
MapThread.Join();
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
return false;
}
return true;
}
Actually it turned out that the thread was terminating after the scope of the delegate terminated. This might be a dumb way to do it, but I put a while Queue.empty { sleep } in that scope so it never terminated, then I launched the LoadMap from yet another thread, so that it jam up my WCF service waiting for the neverending queue to terminate.
