Event Handler Fires Twice When Plugging/Unplugging USB Serial Port

I am writing a program which is supposed to detect when a USB serial device is plugged in and then log on to the new com port. The code below works wonderfully, but I have noticed in debugging the code and stepping through it that the event handler "DetectChange" fires twice. I'm not sure that this is normal, or an action of the debugger.
In any case, the code works, but I am new at event handling and I would like to make sure that I am not going to cause any issues as I add more code to actually read and write from the serial port.
(I got some of this code from stackoverflow, but I have misplaced my paper with names for attribution. If you see your code below, my heartfelt thanks.)

Just took a short look at this. It seems like getSerPorts() will always execute loadCmdBox() (CmdBoxPort.Text = ""; ... if (!String.IsNullOrEmpty(CmdBoxPort.Text))) that will attach a new event handler (previous attached event handlers will not be removed by attaching a new one).
You should either remove the existing event handler befor attaching a new one or only attach the event handler once.

Show Form Message using non-Main UI Thread

I have a project that without usign any form/button or nothing like that, connects with a Websocket and using async methods receives some message(on a form created by myself) that is supposed to appear on the top-right corner of the screen.
But this message can appear from time to time (2 or 3 minutes) on the screen if the websocket doesn't say that it must stop. And this message can be big enough, that in order to make it look better I make my message appear in more than one form.
It causes an impression that it's a notification. So my class that connects with the websocket and receives the message async, calls another class using a thread that is a controller. The purpose of the controller is from time to time, show that message in various new form() notifications and obviously don't do it if the websocket doesn't return any message.
But when i call the form.show the program stops working.
I've looked around stackoverflow already, but the ideas that i've found didn't seem to work.
Some say that I should use invoke, but it kept giving error saying that
"Invoke or BeginInvoke cannot be called on a control until the window handle has been created", tried to solve like this: C# calling form.show() from another thread but it didn't work.
Some said that I should use .showDialog instead of .show, but it doesn't appear to be good, because it waits the window to be closed to terminate the method and as I said I need to open more than one notification at the same time.
Some said that the form was open with .show, but it was open for a very little period of time. But i couldn't notice if that was the case and even if it was i couldn't solve it. Well, what matter is that i'm stuck and i don't know what to do more.

Try to call this:

_sync = SynchronizationContext.Current;
from a contructor SocketService() and not from async methods. This is an initialization code and it must call from main thread.

Okay, after reading a little bit more, the solution that kind worked out was this one, but the only way of using the
.show from the notifician is to use the Application.DoEvents and I've been warned from the sources that I've looked into
that this method should not be used, unless is the only option, because It can cause some problems with the Threads and other things.
So unless someone can give me another hint or clue about what to do, I have two options or use this method and try to fix some other bug
that It can cause or use the .showDialog because don't know why It works without any other problem, but to use .showDialog I've
to use another thread where I create and show the notification because if I don't do, the loop will stop at each iteration
in order to wait the .showDialog be closed. And as it isn't a problem I want to avoid using a lot of threads, because it can cause
another problem with the sync between them:

Update UI in middle of thread execution c# android

I am currently migrating java code for my android app to C#. I want to update my UI in middle of thread execution.
Here is my java code:-
private Handler handler = new Handler(new Handler.Callback() {
#Override
public boolean handleMessage(Message msg) {
if (msg.what == MSG_SURFACE_CREATED) {
contentWidth = 0;
contentHeight = 0;
requestLayout();
return true;
} else {
Log.w("Unknown msg.what: " + msg.what);
}
return false;
}
});
And:-
void postChangedToView(final int indexInAdapter) {
handler.post(new Runnable() {
#Override
public void run() {
changedToView(indexInAdapter, true);
}
});
}
I have tried something like this in c# :-
private Android.OS.Handler handler = new Android.OS.Handler();
private class Callback : Android.OS.Handler.ICallback //inner class
{
ViewController fp; //Create instance of outer class
public Callback(FViewController _fp) //pass the instance to constructor of inner class
{
fp = _fp;
}
#region ICallback implementation
public bool HandleMessage (Message msg)
{
if (msg.What == MSG_SURFACE_CREATED)
{
contentWidth = 0;
contentHeight = 0;
fp.RequestLayout ();
return true;
}
else
{
Log.w("Unknown msg.what: " + msg.What);
}
return false;
throw new NotImplementedException ();
}
}
Here I cannot make an inline class of Handler.ICallBack
And:-
internal virtual void postChangedToView(int indexInAdapter) {
handler.Post (Task.Run (()=> flippedToView (indexInAdapter,true)));
}
Here I get an error saying :-
Error CS1503: Argument 1: cannot convert from 'System.Threading.Tasks.Task' to 'System.Action'

Handler.Post requires a System.Action parameter. You can create System.Action as below:
internal virtual void postFlippedToView(int indexInAdapter)
{
Action action = () => flippedToView(indexInAdapter, true);
handler.Post (action );
}

private void RecognizeSaidSomething(object sender, SpeechRecognizer.SpeechRecognizer.SaidSomethingEventArgs e)
{
FlyingText.FlyingText.NewFlyingText(this.skeleton.Width / 30, new Point(this.skeleton.Width / 2, this.skeleton.Height / 2), e.Matched);
switch (e.Verb)
{
case SpeechRecognizer.SpeechRecognizer.Verbs.Pause:
pause = true;
break;
case SpeechRecognizer.SpeechRecognizer.Verbs.Resume:
resume = true;
break;
case SpeechRecognizer.SpeechRecognizer.Verbs.Start:
start = true;
break;
case SpeechRecognizer.SpeechRecognizer.Verbs.Stop:
stop = true;
break;
}
}

It doesn't look like you ever call RecognizeSaidSomething() from SreSpeechRecognized(). You create the event args:
var said = new SaidSomethingEventArgs { Verb = 0, Phrase =
e.Result.Text };
But it doesn't appear that you do anything with it.
The foreach loop below that doesn't seem to serve any purpose, you test for the phrase then just break out of the loop. You don't set any variables or call any functions in that loop that I can see.
Then there is a for loop that appears to do something similar to the foreach loop (just in a different manner). It searches for matches to the recognized phrase, but then doesn't do anything with what it finds. It just returns.
I would think somewhere in the SreSpeechRecognized() event handler you want to call RecognizeSaidSomething() and pass it the SaidSomethingEventArgs.

How to use a thread in a playback function

I want to playback a sound file in two or three external sound cards at the same time and I think that using threads is the solution but I really didn't know how to use it in the playback code.
This is the event makes on button play:
public partial class PlaybackForm : Form
{
IWavePlayer waveOut;
string fileName = null;
WaveStream mainOutputStream;
WaveChannel32 volumeStream;
int _deviceNum;
int _deviceNum1;
Thread t1;
Thread t2;
public PlaybackForm(int deviceNum,int deviceNum1)
{
InitializeComponent();
_deviceNum = deviceNum;
_deviceNum1 = deviceNum1;
}
private void buttonPlay_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (waveOut != null)
{
if (waveOut.PlaybackState == PlaybackState.Playing)
{
return;
}
else if (waveOut.PlaybackState == PlaybackState.Paused)
{
waveOut.Play();
return;
}
}
// we are in a stopped state
// TODO: only re-initialise if necessary
if (String.IsNullOrEmpty(fileName))
{
toolStripButtonOpenFile_Click(sender, e);
}
if (String.IsNullOrEmpty(fileName))
{
return;
}
try
{
CreateWaveOut();
}
catch (Exception driverCreateException)
{
MessageBox.Show(String.Format("{0}", driverCreateException.Message));
return;
}
mainOutputStream = CreateInputStream(fileName);
trackBarPosition.Maximum = (int)mainOutputStream.TotalTime.TotalSeconds;
labelTotalTime.Text = String.Format("{0:00}:{1:00}", (int)mainOutputStream.TotalTime.TotalMinutes,
mainOutputStream.TotalTime.Seconds);
trackBarPosition.TickFrequency = trackBarPosition.Maximum / 30;
try
{
waveOut.Init(mainOutputStream);
}
catch (Exception initException)
{
MessageBox.Show(String.Format("{0}", initException.Message), "Error Initializing Output");
return;
}
// not doing Volume on IWavePlayer any more
volumeStream.Volume = volumeSlider1.Volume;
waveOut.Play();
}
And this is how to create the waveout:
private void CreateWaveOut()
{
CloseWaveOut();
int latency = (int)comboBoxLatency.SelectedItem;
//if (radioButtonWaveOut.Checked)
{
//WaveCallbackInfo callbackInfo = checkBoxWaveOutWindow.Checked ?
WaveCallbackInfo callbackInfo = WaveCallbackInfo.FunctionCallback();
// WaveCallbackInfo callbackInfo = WaveCallbackInfo.FunctionCallback();
// WaveCallbackInfo.NewWindow(): WaveCallbackInfo.FunctionCallback();
WaveOut outputDevice = new WaveOut(callbackInfo);
outputDevice.DesiredLatency = latency;
outputDevice.DeviceNumber = _deviceNum;
waveOut = outputDevice;
}
}
I declared two deviceNum but until now I can playsound only in one device,that's why I want to use thread.
Can you help me please
Thank you in advance

Do something like that:
using System.Threading;
...
private void buttonPlay_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
ThreadPool.QueueUserWorkItem(new WaitCallback(this.PlaySound), 1);
ThreadPool.QueueUserWorkItem(new WaitCallback(this.PlaySound), 2);
}
private void PlaySound(object obj)
{
int deviceNumber = (int)obj;
// Do the stuff you used to do in buttonPlay_Click
WaveOut myWaveOut = CreateWaveOut(deviceNumber);
...
}
private WaveOut CreateWaveOut(int deviceNumber)
{
...
WaveOut outputDevice = new WaveOut(callbackInfo);
outputDevice.DesiredLatency = latency;
outputDevice.DeviceNumber = _deviceNum;
return outputDevice;
}
