synchronous

I am writing a Visual C# program that executes a continuous loop of operations on a secondary thread. Occasionally when that thread finishes a task I want it to trigger an eventhandler. My program does that but the when the event handler is triggered, the secondary thread waits until the event handler is finished before continuing the thread. How do I make it continue? Here is the way I currently have it structured... class TestClass { private Thread SecondaryThread; public event EventHandler OperationFinished; public void StartMethod() { ... SecondaryThread.Start(); //start the secondary

I am trying to execute a Bash Shell script from Java and it runs fine using this piece of code. public void executeScript() { try { new ProcessBuilder("myscript.sh").start(); System.out.println("Script executed successfully"); } catch (IOException e) { e.printStackTrace(); } } The above code runs fine asynchronously. But what I would like to achieve is to execute the code synchronously. I would like the Java process to wait until the execution of the script is completed and then execute the next batch of code. To summarize, I would like the "Print statement - Script executed successfully" to

I know this question has been asked countless times, but I cant figure out for the life of me how to make this answer work in my case: wait for async javascript function to return I'm looping through some "tv channels" in the outerloop and then looping through dates in the week in the innerloop. In the inner loop I make a ajax request to a server to fetch the data and I then store/cache it for later use like so var dates = []; //<-- Contains a list of dates for the coming week var baseUrl = "http://www.someserver.com"; var storedChannels = [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,45,23,56,34,23,67,23,567,234,67

GOAL: What I'm after is to get data from database and refresh main.php (more evident through draw_polygon) every time something is added in database (after $.ajax to submit_to_db.php). So basically I have a main.php that will ajax call another php to receive an array that will be saved to database, and a json call another php to return an array will be used by main.php. $(document).ready(function() { get_from_db(); $('#button_cancel').click(function(){ $.ajax({ url: 'submit_to_db.php', type: 'POST', data: {list_item: selected_from_list}, success: function(result){ ... get_from_db(); } }); });

What's the best way to make a synchronous version of an asynchronous method in Java? Say you have a class with these two methods: asyncDoSomething(); // Starts an asynchronous task onFinishDoSomething(); // Called when the task is finished How would you implement a synchronous doSomething() that does not return until the task is finished? Have a look at CountDownLatch . You can emulate the desired synchronous behaviour with something like this: private CountDownLatch doneSignal = new CountDownLatch(1); void main() throws InterruptedException{ asyncDoSomething(); //wait until doneSignal
