Hello
i have searched a lot about this issue but i didn't find my answer
i have a login form in my application and i used background worker in my login process. but when ui thread gets the control the application context is not initiated, in other word it has initiated in backgrounworker thread.
therefor i fetched the login information in the background worker thread and then create the principal object in the worked completed event as rocky mentioned in some posts "You can never interact with UI elements in the actual work method - you can only interact with the UI in the progress or complete event handlers because those are on the UI thread" but still i have not user credential in my UI thread! and when my ui forms try to create csla objects they got unauthorized exception
Thank you
This is a pretty common issue in WPF apps, and the Csla.ApplicationContext.User property is designed to overcome the way WPF "manages" the application principal object.
I haven't encountered the issue in other UI environments. What UI technology are you using?
Thanks Rocky
i used Winforms technology
Have you tried/are you using the Csla.Threading.BackgroundWorker?
The default System.Threading.BackgroundWorker will NOT transfer the ApplicationContext to the background thread and is the reason we added our own BackgroundWorker in the Csla.Threading namespace.
thanks a lot jonny thats it
i did not know about csla's background working
Jonny i used CSLA.Threading.BW but the still i have that problem
what should i do please?
Could you create a sample project to illustrate your problem?
It's much easier if we can see the code.
You should set Csla.ApplicationContext.User in your worker completed and make sure to tell Csla that your AuthenticationMode (app.config) is different from "Windows" (which in turn makes Csla send the ApplicationContext.User over the wire on DataPortal calls). Have a look at the ProjectTracker sample for how to use a custom principal and settings in app.config.
Remember also that your UI thread/ process will continue to run and possibly make other DataPortal calls before the BW has completed.
I'd also recommend to initialize the ApplicationContext.LocalContext, ClientContext and GlobalContext in the startup method.
If not initialized before - then be aware that your WorkerCompleted EventArgs offer the GlobalContext as returned from the server (and your code must decide if it is going to update theGlobalContext on the UI thread in any way after the async process is completed).
