so i have a Method that is going to made Thread Safe. can i have something like this in the Method:
Public Class Q Private Shared ASD As New MyException("") Public Sub W Throw ASD if multiple threads attempt to throw the Shared exception ASD, will there be an error in the catching part? The alternative of course is to: Throw New ASD but i'm just checking to see if the first way is thread safe
Im having a problem understanding if accessing httpcontext inside a shared function, without passing in the httpcontext as a parameter is thread safe?
Are the 2 functions in the util class equally thread safe?

how to use them then before, but am still a little confused with a few aspects. Here goes:
1.) Lets say you have a method that checks for a certain condition(s) and if it fails Throws an exception. Does it have to be in a try/catch block? Meaning can the "Throw" statement exist in a block with no try/catch statement?
2.) Now lets say we have a method that has a try catch block and in it there is a throw statement. When the throw statement is executed does it first try to find an appropriate catch block in the same method or does it immediately go back to the calling method without looking at the catch statements in the current method where the exception was thrown?
3.) I created a custom exception class that inherits from ApplicationException. Next I created a method which has a catch block that catches this type of exception and does some action. Is the System(i.e CLR) smart enough to throw an exception of this type, or does it only throw exceptions from SystemException?
4.) I know that some people are more liberal in their use of exceptions and others use it more sparingly when truly strange stuff happen like the DB going down. I am writing code where I am getting some info back from the database, converting it and then storing it. Sometimes there might be data that comes back from the database and other times the field is empty and the Null value comes back. Therefore in the instances where Null comes back from the database I should not convert the value to anything, since I will get an error. What should I do in this situation? Should I let the CLR throw the exception when it goes to convert the Null value or should I check for the Null value and if it exists not convert?
5.) In general when I throw exceptions, is it sensible to only throw exceptions of the type Application Exception or are there instances where the programmer throws exceptions of the type SystemException?
If I throw an exception from within a catch, does the finally (from the catch) still execute? i.e.
Try
..some code with an exception in it...
catch ex as Exception
throw new SpecialException("blah blah" & ex.Message, ex)
[code]....
I need to catch log4net exceptions (its own exceptions not app exceptions logged by it). I wish there's a way of doing it this way: [code] I have this code implemented and there's no errors in compilation but i force log4net to have an error (pointing to a non existing database in the config file) and nothing is threw.I've tried the listener aproach: [code] and it's writing the errors to log4net.txt, the forced ones i mean.This last aproach has a couple of drawbacks: it won't append every error to the file, if the error is the same it doesn't write it, i can't get the listener to write every error to that file, only one (I don't know how to fully configure the trace listener, it might be that). Thus it won't append the date and hour to every line wich is a necesity for me. Finally i can't give structure to it (xml). Even if the listener work i need to use the try/catch aproach, since i'm using ExceptionHandling from Enterprise library to log the errors in my app.

As you can see, I want to handle the exception specifically, but I also want to throw it when I'm done because I want to alert other code outside the function. The problem is that simply throwing it exits out of the function with a null value.

View 2 RepliesIs there anything similar to the MyApplication_UnhandledException for an user control in VB?
I would like to have a central point where to catch all unhandled exceptions of a user control, without propagating the exception to the application that uses the user control. I made some test raising an exception in a method of my user control where there is no try/catch code (of course in the true project all methods have a try/catch block). The exception was caught by MyApplication_UnhandledException event of the application using the user control. But this is too "far" from the point where the exception happens and in worst case the user should restart the application.
I would like to realize a behaviour for the user control in order that if the user control fails, the exception is not propagated till the application, but just caught at user control level.

View 2 RepliesA few weeks back in reply to a thread, I said then that it's sometimes worse to use a Try/Catch when there's nothing in the Catch!There are exceptions to that I'm sure, but too often the Try/Catch is used with a blank Catch that makes even the developer scratch their heads when the program crashes because they have nothing to go on (by their own doing).DevExpress (and I'm a big fan of their stuff) has a little three minute video that encapsulates that concept well and I thought that you all might enjoy watching it:[URL]

I'm dropping into this function - from several threads - to add an OBJECT to a dictionary collection

Try[code].....
It's getting Object reference not set to an instance of an object.The FILEID key being added is F1. F2, F3 and F4 are in the dictionary. Seems like F1 arrived and the object wasn't properly setup. Or thread-slice caused me to see a partially messed with dictionary list?How can I make that a thread safe operation? I thought dropping out to the UI thread was a safe place to mess with code like this? Oddly enough I can go to the immediate window and do this
m_FSObCollection.Add("F" + rrFSOb.FileId.ToString, rrFSOb)
?m_FSObCollection.Count 4
ex.data is a dictionary list that looks like this
directcast(ex.Data , System.Collections.IDictionary).Count 0

If I have multiple threads running and they want to call InsertIntoQueue(), is this considered thread safe? I am under the impression that there is only one copy of the instructions in memory necessary to perform the InsertIntoQueue() function... which would lead me to think that this is thread safe. However, I wonder what happens when two threads attempt to run the function at the same time? Is this thread safe, and if not, how can I make it thread safe? (and What would be the performance implications regarding speed and memory usage)

View 11 RepliesOn the MSDN docs for the generic List(Of T) class, it says this:
Quote:
Public static (Shared in Visual Basic) members of this type are thread safe. Any instance members are not guaranteed to be thread safe.but I'm trying to work out what exactly that means or why it matters. Does that mean that if I had this:
vb.net
Public Shared MyList As New List(Of MyClass)
then I could enumerate through that list from several threads at once without there being a problem? I thought you could read from any object from multiple threads without a problem anyway... I thought it was only if there were potentially other threads modifying that object at the same time that there were problems. Particularly with a collection like a List because you cant modify a list while another thread is enumerating the items in the list as you get an exception thrown stating that the collection has changed. I think basically what I am asking is if the MSDN doc said that a public shared list wasnt thread safe then what difference would it make?
I am trying to add a subitem to a listview in a threadsafe manner.In a single threaded application it works like so:

However if run in another thread it causes a cross threading error.I have looked at examples of delegate subs that use Invoke, but all examples i have seen involve updating the text property of an object, and i cant get my head round how to apply the concept to actually add a subitem to a listview.
I'm receiving tons of statistics data that I need to insert into the db.I would like to implement some kind of Queue or FIFO class that keeps all the dataand when it reaches to a specific count (buffer), it will send that data to the SQL through bulk insert. This should be thread-safe.
