How to close CefSharp Session winforms vb.net - vb.net

I've been struggling to close the current session when the form is closed and re opened
https://www.facebook.com
What I expect to happen:
Open form
log in in: https://www.facebook.com
close form
reopen form
session is closed and I can log in with different credentials
What actually happens:
Open form
log in in: https://www.facebook.com
close form
reopen form
session is still open with previous credentials
Imports CefSharp.WinForms
Imports CefSharp
Public Class MasOrdenAPP
Private Sub MasOrdenAPP_Load(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
Me.FormBorderStyle = 0
End Sub
Private WithEvents browser As ChromiumWebBrowser
Public Sub New()
CefSharp.Cef.Shutdown()
InitializeComponent()
Dim settings As New CefSettings()
CefSharp.Cef.Initialize(settings)
CefSharp.Cef.GetGlobalCookieManager.DeleteCookies("", "")
browser = New ChromiumWebBrowser("https://www.facebook.com/") With {.Dock = DockStyle.Fill}
browser.BrowserSettings.ApplicationCache = CefState.Disabled
Panel1.Controls.Add(browser)
End Sub
Private Sub bCerrar_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles bCerrar.Click
CefSharp.Cef.GetGlobalCookieManager.DeleteCookies("", "")
Me.Close()
Home.Activate()
End Sub
Private Sub MasOrdenAPP_FormClosing(sender As Object, e As FormClosingEventArgs) Handles MyBase.FormClosing
'CefSharp.Cef.GetGlobalCookieManager.DeleteCookies("", "")
End Sub
End Class
I tried CefSharp.Cef.GetGlobalCookieManager.DeleteCookies("", "")
but only works with Facebook and reddit, not with the site I actually need it to work.
I tried using browser.dispose() but it disables the browser and when I try to reopen the form it doesn't work anymore
I tried:
settings.CachePath = ""
settings.CefCommandLineArgs.Add ("disable-application-cache", "1")
settings.CefCommandLineArgs.Add("disable-session-storage", "1")
It doesn't seem to do anything at all.
If this isn't possible in CEF, is there any way to reset or dispose the CEF browser every time the form is closed so every time the form opens it ask you for your credentials like the first time?

CrystalReportViewer.RefreshReport hangs when running from BackgroundWorker

I'm trying to "enhance" my reporting code by adding a loading screen while the Crystal Report is being prepared/loaded. Before I started trying to add the loading screen, all of my reports would come up just fine, but the cursor change just wasn't "enough" of an indication that the application was still working on pulling the report - some of them can take a while - so I wanted to provide a more "obvious" visual cue.
In order to accomplish this, I've put the report creation method calls into a BackgroundWorker that exists in the loading screen itself (I haven't gotten around to learning how to use Async/Await well enough yet to feel comfortable using that instead). The loading screen comes up correctly and everything appears to work as expected until it actually attempts to display the report on screen. At that point, the "Please wait while the document is processing." box comes up (in the CrystalReportViewer control in the form used to display reports), but it just sits there, not even spinning. Eventually, my IDE throws an error about receiving a ContextSwitchDeadlock and I pretty much just have to cancel execution.
Here's my dlgReportLoading "splash screen" with a PictureBox control that contains an animated GIF:
Imports System.Windows.Forms
Public Class dlgReportLoading
Private DisplayReport As Common.CRReport
Private WithEvents LoadReportWorker As System.ComponentModel.BackgroundWorker
Public Sub New(ByRef Report As Common.CRReport)
InitializeComponent()
DisplayReport = Report
End Sub
Private Sub dlgReportLoading_Load(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
Me.Cursor = Cursors.WaitCursor
Me.TopMost = True
Me.TopMost = False
LoadReportWorker = New System.ComponentModel.BackgroundWorker
LoadReportWorker.RunWorkerAsync()
End Sub
Private Sub dlgReportLoading_FormClosed(sender As Object, e As FormClosedEventArgs) Handles Me.FormClosed
Me.Cursor = Cursors.Default
End Sub
Private Sub LoadReport_DoWork(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.ComponentModel.DoWorkEventArgs) Handles LoadReportWorker.DoWork
If Not DisplayReport.ReportOption = Common.CRReport.GenerateReportOption.None Then
Select Case DisplayReport.ReportOption
Case Common.CRReport.GenerateReportOption.DisplayOnScreen
'-- This is the method I'm currently testing
DisplayReport.ShowReport()
Case Common.CRReport.GenerateReportOption.SendToPrinter
DisplayReport.PrintReport()
Case Common.CRReport.GenerateReportOption.ExportToFile
DisplayReport.ExportReport()
End Select
End If
DisplayReport.ReportOption = Common.CRReport.GenerateReportOption.None
'--
'-- This code was in use before trying to generate the reports in the background
'If Not DisplayReport.CrystalReport Is Nothing Then
' DisplayReport.CrystalReport.Dispose()
'End If
'--
End Sub
Private Sub LoadReport_Complete(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.ComponentModel.RunWorkerCompletedEventArgs) Handles LoadReportWorker.RunWorkerCompleted
Me.DialogResult = DialogResult.OK
Me.Close()
End Sub
End Class
As noted in the code above, I'm currently testing the ShowReport() method as defined here:
Protected Friend Sub ShowReport()
Dim ReportViewer As frmReportPreview
Me.PrepareReport()
ReportViewer = New frmReportPreview(Me)
With ReportViewer
.WindowState = FormWindowState.Maximized
.Show()
End With
End Sub
And the frmReportPreview is this:
Imports System.ComponentModel
Public Class frmReportPreview
Private DisplayReport As Common.CRReport
Private ReportToDisplay As CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument
Public Sub New(ByRef Report As Common.CRReport)
InitializeComponent()
DisplayReport = Report
PrepareReportForDisplay()
Me.rptViewer.ReportSource = Nothing
Me.rptViewer.ReportSource = ReportToDisplay
' SET ZOOM LEVEL FOR DISPLAY:
' 1 = Page Width
' 2 = Whole Page
' 25-100 = zoom %
Me.rptViewer.Zoom(1)
Me.rptViewer.Show()
End Sub
Private Sub frmReportPreview_Shown(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Me.Shown
'-- HANGS HERE
Me.rptViewer.RefreshReport()
End Sub
Private Sub frmReportPreview_Closing(sender As Object, e As CancelEventArgs) Handles Me.Closing
ReportToDisplay.Dispose()
Me.rptViewer.ReportSource = Nothing
End Sub
'...CODE FOR PREPARING THE REPORT TO BE DISPLAYED
End Class
The dlgReportLoading form pops up correctly and the animation plays until the frmReportPreview pops up in front of it (it doesn't close). The little box that has what is normally an animated spinning circle indicating the report data is being loaded appears, but almost immediately freezes in place.
I have a breakpoint in the LoadReport_DoWork() method of my dlgReportLoading form after the call to the ShowReport() method, but it never gets to that point. I also have one in the LoadReport_Complete() method of that form that it never hits either and that dialog never actually closes.
I put another breakpoint at the end of the frmReportPreview_Shown method, right after the Me.rptViewer.RefreshReport() call, but it never hits that either, so it seems clear that this is where things are getting stuck, but only when the report is being generated through the BackgroundWorker. If I just call the ShowReport() method without sending it through the "splash screen" and BackgroundWorker, everything generates and displays normally.
I've tried putting the RefreshReport() method into its own BackgroundWorker with no change in the behavior. I've tried making the frmReportPreview object display modally with ShowDialog() instead of just Show(). None of this seems to help the issue.
I have a feeling something is being disposed of too early somewhere, but I can't figure out what that would be. I can provide the rest of the report preparation code from frmReportPreview if required, but that all seems to be working without error, as far as I can tell. I'm not averse to trying alternate methods of accomplishing my goal of showing the user a loading screen while all the report preparation is taking place - e.g., Async/Await or other multi-threading methods - so any suggestions are welcome. Please let me know if any additional clarification is needed.
ENVIRONMENT
Microsoft Windows 10 Pro 21H1 (OS build 19043.1348)
Microsoft Visual Studio Community 2017 (v15.9.38)
Crystal Reports for .NET Framework v13.0.3500.0 (Runtime version 2.0.50727)
EDIT: I forgot to mention that this whole mess is being called from a GenerateReport() method in my CRReport class defined as:
Public Sub GenerateReport(ByVal ReportGeneration As GenerateReportOption)
Me.ReportOption = ReportGeneration
If Me.ReportOption = GenerateReportOption.None Then
'...CODE FOR REQUESTING A GENERATION OPTION FROM THE USER
End If
Dim ReportLoadingScreen As New dlgReportLoading(Me)
ReportLoadingScreen.ShowDialog()
End Sub
Which, in turn, is being called from my main form like this:
Private Sub PrintMyXMLReport(ByVal XMLFile As IO.FileInfo)
Dim MyXMLReport As New IO.FileInfo("\\SERVER\Applications\Reports\MyXMLReport.rpt")
Dim Report As New Common.CRReport(MyXMLReport, XMLFile)
Report.GenerateReport(Common.CRReport.GenerateReportOption.DisplayOnScreen)
End Sub
You should separate the heavy lifting and UI operations into distinct methods in order to put them into the appropriate BackgroundWorker events:
Protected Friend Sub PrepareReport()
' perform long-running background work
End Sub
Protected Friend Sub ShowReport()
Dim ReportViewer = New frmReportPreview(Me) With {.WindowState = FormWindowState.Maximized}
ReportViewer.Show()
End Sub
Private DisplayReport As Common.CRReport
Private Sub LoadReport_DoWork(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.ComponentModel.DoWorkEventArgs) Handles LoadReportWorker.DoWork
DisplayReport.PrepareReport()
End Sub
Private Sub LoadReport_Complete(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.ComponentModel.RunWorkerCompletedEventArgs) Handles LoadReportWorker.RunWorkerCompleted
DisplayReport.ShowReport()
Me.DialogResult = DialogResult.OK
Me.Close()
End Sub
because LoadReport_DoWork actually runs on a new non-UI thread, and LoadReport_Complete runs on the caller thread, which is a UI thread. Only there can you interact with the UI and show Forms etc.

System.ObjectDisposedException when closing a form in vb.net

I am having a weird error and I am sure it is something very simple, but I can't for the life of me figure out what is going on. I thought I was opening and closing the forms properly, but it appears something is amiss. I am working with VS 2015. I have my program set to close when the last form is closed. There are two forms that I am using right now.
Dashboard
Public Class frmDashboard
Private Sub recExit_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles recExit.Click
Me.Close()
End Sub
Private Sub recMember_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles recMember.Click, lblMember.Click
'Create instance of Member Form
Dim memberForm As New frmMember
'Open an instance
memberForm.Show()
Me.Close()
'Using this code test if the form window is still open
For Each frm As Form In Application.OpenForms
MessageBox.Show(frm.Name)
Next
End Sub
End Class
Members Form
Public Class frmMember
Private Sub frmMember_Load(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
ShowSpouse(rdoMarried.Checked)
End Sub
Private Sub ShowSpouse(ByRef isMarried As Boolean)
If isMarried Then
'Marital status is set to married lets show the extra spouse information
'Lets first make the form larger
Me.Size = New Size(793, 576)
'Now lets unhide the form
pnlSpouse.Visible = True
'pnlSpouse.Enabled = True
lblSpouse.Visible = True
'lblSpouse.Enabled = True
lineSpouse.Visible = True
'lineSpouse.Enabled = True
'Now lets move the buttons to their new location
btnApply.Location = New Point(624, 541)
btnExit.Location = New Point(710, 541)
Else
'Single is Selected
'Let's make sure all the spouse information is hidden
'Lets first make the form smaller
Me.Size = New Size(793, 358)
'Now lets hide the form and disable the controls
pnlSpouse.Visible = False
'pnlSpouse.Enabled = False
lblSpouse.Visible = False
'lblSpouse.Enabled = False
lineSpouse.Visible = False
'lineSpouse.Enabled = False
'Now lets move the buttons to their new location
btnApply.Location = New Point(624, 320)
btnExit.Location = New Point(710, 320)
End If
End Sub
Private Sub MaritalStatusChanged(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles rdoSingle.CheckedChanged, rdoMarried.CheckedChanged
ShowSpouse(rdoMarried.Checked)
End Sub
Private Sub btnExit_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles btnExit.Click
Dim dashboard As New frmDashboard
'Open the dashboard
dashboard.Show()
'Close the member form
Me.Close()
End Sub
End Class
I havent added the database to it but eventually I will load data into the members form. When I click to open the members form it goes through and runs the code in the form load event for members form but then returns focus back to the dashboard form. Runs the Me.Close on the dashboard, but once it gets to End Sub thats when this exception gets thrown:
System.ObjectDisposedException was unhandled
Message: An unhandled exception of type 'System.ObjectDisposedException' occurred in System.Windows.Forms.dll
Additional information: Cannot access a disposed object.
Any help you guys can give would be greatly appreciated.

Wait for internet explorer to load everything?

I am scraping a webpage, and waiting for internet explorer to get done loading but for some reason it is not. I'm trying to get a value on the page but the wait part is not waiting therefore the value comes back blank when there should be a value. The IE page has done loading but the value for the elements on the page has not been loaded yet. Is there a way to wait for all elements to get done loading before proceeding to next line of code? Here's my code:
Dim IE As Object
Dim myvalue as string
IE = CreateObject("internetexplorer.application")
IE.navigate("mypage")
While Not IE.ReadyState = WebBrowserReadyState.Complete
Application.DoEvents()
End While
myValue = IE.document.getElementById("theValue").getAttribute("value")
Debug.Print(myValue)
You SHOULD NOT use Application.DoEvents() in order to keep your UI responsive! I really can't stress this enough! More than often using it is a bad hack which only creates more problems than it solves.
For more information please refer to: Keeping your UI Responsive and the Dangers of Application.DoEvents.
The correct way is to use the InternetExplorer.DocumentComplete event, which is raised when the page (or a sub-part of it, such an an iframe) is completely loaded. Here's a brief example of how you can use it:
Right-click your project in the Solution Explorer and press Add Reference...
Go to the COM tab, find the reference called Microsoft Internet Controls and press OK.
Import the SHDocVw namespace to the file where you are going to use this, and create a class-level WithEvents variable of type InternetExplorer so that you can subscribe to the event with the Handles clause.
And voila!
Imports SHDocVw
Public Class Form1
Dim WithEvents IE As New InternetExplorer
Private Sub Button1_Click(sender As System.Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
IE.Navigate("http://www.google.com/")
End Sub
Private Sub IE_DocumentComplete(pDisp As Object, ByRef URL As Object) Handles IE.DocumentComplete
MessageBox.Show("Successfully navigated to: " & URL.ToString())
End Sub
End Class
Alternatively you can also subscribe to the event in-line using a lambda expression:
Imports SHDocVw
Public Class Form1
Private Sub Button1_Click(sender As System.Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Dim IE As New InternetExplorer
IE.Navigate("http://www.google.com/")
AddHandler IE.DocumentComplete, Sub(pDisp As Object, ByRef URL As Object)
MessageBox.Show("Successfully navigated to: " & URL.ToString())
End Sub
End Sub
End Class

Reopening a Disposed form declared with events. VB.net

I have a dialog form which is a bar code scanner handler form that has events on the form it was called from, done like this:
Public Class FRMCheckout
Dim WithEvents Batch_Scanner_Dialog As New CheckoutBatchScanner
Private Sub Recieve_Scaned_Object(Scan_Object As tructures.ScanDetails) Handles Batch_Scanner_Dialog.Scanned_Item
'.....Do Stuff'
End Sub
Private Sub Button1_Click_1(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Batch_Scanner_Dialog.Show()
End Sub
End Class
The Batch_Scanner_Dialog is closed with just the regular old Close.Me which opbviously disposes itself.
The problem being if you wish to open the dialog again, an accessing a disposed object exception is thrown.
Locally Declaring the Dialog will not work, because it has events, so how could I fix this issue? Calling a new instance of the dialog is fine, just the original Events should be on the calling form. (They vary depending on the form the dialog is called form)
(Note: I need to use .show not .showdialog to continue to run code on the original form.)
OK the problem was solved with:
Private Sub Button1_Click_1(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
If Batch_Scanner_Dialog.IsDisposed Then
Dim Batch_Scanner_Dialog As New CheckoutBatchScanner
AddHandler Batch_Scanner_Dialog.Scanned_Item, AddressOf Recieve_Scaned_Object
Batch_Scanner_Dialog.Show()
Else
Batch_Scanner_Dialog.Show()
End If
End Sub

Form2 won't close and if I close it form1 will close as well. vb.net

So I made this game in vb.net, and when you run it, it will ask you for a name, that's form2. The thing is, when you put a name, form2 will not close/disappear, and if you close it the whole game will close.
This is the code for form2:
Public Class Form2
Public Shared myMoney As Long
Public Shared welcome As String
Private Sub PositronButton1_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles PositronButton1.Click
Form1.welcome = txtName.Text
Form1.lblWelkom.Text = "Welcome," & " " & Form1.welcome
MsgBox("Welcome," & " " & Form1.welcome & "." & "You recieved 500 money.")
Form1.myMoney = 500
Form1.lblMoney.Text = Form1.myMoney
Form1.Show()
End Sub
Private Sub Form2_Load(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
Me.TopMost = True
End Sub
End Class
It seems you have wrong settings in your project.
Go to "Project", "Settings" and then have a look after "Shutdown mode".
Yours is probably set to "When last form closes". But you have to set "start form".
Also do not use Form1.Show because this is wrong, create an instance of it, then call it.
Dim frm As New Form1
frm.Show()
Also use ShowDialog for showing the Form2, it returns a DialogResult, and if it is "OK", you can close the form.
Firstly, instead of setting Me.TopMost on the load event, you should call Form2.Focus() when you first open the Form in your Form1 code.
Secondly I am not sure how you are opening Form2, I assume you are using ShowDialog() In that case, in order to close Form2, you should call Me.DialogResult = DialogResult.OK
Hope it Helps
