I have a code that basically grab data from a file, split into array and use a FOR loop to input data into a different file. I want to use thread pool to create multiple threads to do a specific task. For example for the array() I want a thread to read the first item in a array and perform the task, a second thread reads the second item and perform the task, a third thread reads the third item and perform the task, etc. How would I add thread pool to something like:
Public Class Form1
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Dim data As String

I have about 1000 webrequest created. Each link will navigate to a website and download a picture to place into a picturebox.
The person will then type in what animal is in the picture into a textbox. Then the user will then hit the submit button to send the name of the animal back to the site.
I am going to implement the use of a thread pool to handle the threading portion of those requests.
What is the best method to get my webrequest into the thread pool (listbox, txt file,etc?) and then how can I setup my button to coordniate with the site that is coming out of the pool to the picture box?
My first thought is to create everything on the fly. The picturebox, the textbox, and the submit button, the webrequest to the site for the picture and back again for the result. Something tells me that I will be taking the long way around to get same result.
My second thought is to have a slew of pictureboxes, textboxes, and buttons already on my screen and then when they come out of the pool and into a thread they would assigned a picturebox, textbox, and button if the others are not busy.

View 2 RepliesI've been reading up on multi-threading and just have a couple trivia questions that are ambiguous given my sources:
1) What is the max number of threads in the thread pool? The number 25 is used but I have on reference that says 25 per CPU and another that says 25 per core. I realize that both can be right but before I start making flagrant design decisions I'd like some validation.
2) Let's say I'm in the body of a delegate and I call a function or sub. Does that function/sub remain in the thread or does it revert to the parent thread? I'm guessing the former would be much easier to implement so that's probably what MS did but you just can never tell.
I have several threads in my WinForm and I am running them via Thread.Pool, what I need to know is that how can I run them sequentially.
example:
Thread1 => me.label1.text = "Thread1"
Thread2 => me.label2.text = "Thread2"
Thread3 => me.label3.text = "Thread3"
In my Form_Load event, I have a line as follows:

Im creating a service for a mobile platform and I need to process user messages on a different thread than they were created on to leave the threadpool open.Anyway my App will be using a MySQL database and when it gets a message it will add the message to Another thread pool. But in the sub that procceses the messages I will need to perform query's on the database. So i know i can use a global variable and it will be visible to all threads but is making database operations safe while using a thread pool with a global mysqlconnection?

I have a thread pool that send file using ftp protocol. I encapsulated the call for threadpoll with try catch believing that the thrown exception inside the threadpool will be catch by the main thread. Instead the system terminate whenever i throw an exception from inside the threadpool. Also I design the Clsftp.ftpsend class to throw an exception related to ftp error. Basically my design for handling the error is just like the code below.
'Main thread

There is a problem with standard System.Timers.Timer behaviour. The timer raise Elapsed event with some interval. But when time of execution inside Elapsed event handler exceed timer interval then thread pool begin queuing event handling. This is a problem in my case. This is because with my Elapsed event handler I fetch some data from database and doing something with it and finally save results back to database. But data handling should be provided only once. So, is there a way to prevent from queuing elapse events for System.Timers.Timer.
As illustration for this issue you can consider next test program:

I have many text files in a folder. What I can do now is to read through one text at a time and insert it into the database. My little app reads a text file when I debug it. So, I need to run it several times to read all those text files and import them into the database.

I'm creating a Client Server application which involves theServer running some scripts in clients and getting back results in an automated way. In Server, other than Main thread, i have 2 worker threads, a) one monitoring response from clients and b) the other scheduling next available job to respective client which executes that job. The issue here is ,I want these worker threads to write the status of their work in the UI(which comes under Main Thread). Also i need to write things in worker thread in a Data table and Rich Text Box in Main thread. But, I can't do so, since it has been blocked to access one thread's function or property directly from others. Is there any work around to do this?
View 8 RepliesI have a web app which displays a list of emails that need to be sent for the day. The user can select what emails to send, then click a button to generate them. When they click the Send button, a process gets started on another thread which generates the emails, then cleans up after itself by deleting a temp folder. Once the process is finished, the Repeater is rebound to update the User's view and remove the emails that have just been sent so they don't get sent again.
My problem is that when I delete the temp folder from my 2nd thread, the UI doesn't update with the new Repeater data. It updates correctly if I just delete the files in the folder instead of the folder itself, and it also updates correctly if I run the delete the folder on the original thread instead of the 2nd one.
New Thread code
Dim t as Thread = New Thread(New ThreadStart(AddressOf EmailLetters))
t.Start()
Delete folder code
Dim fs = Server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
fs.DeleteFolder(Server.MapPath(".") + " mpEmailFiles")
Why won't the UI update to show the new repeater values when I delete a folder on another thread?
When you click the button, a thread gets started and a javascript load script starts executing which does a PostBack every 10 seconds. Each postback checks if the thread is complete and updates the Status label showing the result. If I delete a folder from within the background thread, the final update to the status label never occurs. If I remove the DeleteFolder call, it does.

The problem is, I have an error in the red lines.The error is: INVALIDOPERATIONEXCEPTION "Cross-Thread operation not valid: Control tbPlaca1 Accessed from a thread other than the thread it was created on."I don't use cross threading. Each TB only was accessed for the correspondent thread, and for the "main program".
This is the error message I am getting:
"Cross-thread operation not valid: Control 'Panel1' accessed from a thread other than the thread it was created on." The reason I am getting this error is because I am opening up a new form and then calling these three things:
Panel1.Show()
Label1.Show()
Label2.Show()
why I get this error message because it doesn't occur normally if I open Form2 after closing Form1, it only occurs when I open Form2 after closing Form4.

My understanding is that thread.join will suspend the execution of code on the calling thread until the spawned thread finishes or is aborted...
With that in mind, I tried this:
For i = 1 to 50
threads = New Thread(AddressOf test)
threads.IsBackground = True
threads.SetApartmentState(ApartmentState.STA)
[CODE]...
However, the rest of the code runs when the loop finishes, not waiting for all the spawned threads to finish. Since the rest of the code needs the threads to finish (otherwise the rest will error).
I have written an application that loads a form - frmCad as well as AutoCad. It does this via a class which detects when AutoCad quits.
Friend Class CadApp Private WithEvents AppObject As AcadApplication... Private Sub AppObject_BeginQuit(ByRef Cancel As Boolean) Handles AppObject.BeginQuit RaiseEvent Quit() End SubEnd Class
My main class loads frmCad as well as CadApp.
Public Class Cad Private WithEvents frmCad As CadForm Private WithEvents app As CadApp... Public Sub ShowForm() If frmCad Is Nothing Then frmCad = New CadForm frmCad.Visible = True End Sub... Private Sub app_Quit() Handles app.Quit frmCad.Dispose() frmCad = Nothing .... End Sub
When I debug the program, it stops at frmCad.Dispose()The program continues to execute, but all the code after it fails to work.Looking more carefully I get an error message which contains:-Cross-thread operation not valid: Control 'Autocad' accessed from a thread other than the thread it was created on.

i used it and it works fine then. but as it is mentioned its not a good practice to use it. So what should i do? is it ok if i use this as i am not able to use correct practice. Mine application is not for enterprise purpose. its just my class project, and it works fine even if i put application working in background. System works ok. I dont know how to correct this error.As i dont have that much knowlege of threads.
So please guide me how to fix this in correct way otherwise i am force to go for bad programming practice
