Threadpool And Threading In General?
Jun 5, 2010
whipped up this code real quick which uses a ThreadPool on Form Load to iterate through my subnet and tell me if there's a device communicating at each IP address.
some questions: Why am I able to update BOTH my label at the top AND the listbox, but I'm only using an .Invoke on the Listbox?How can I know how many threads are currently being used while that is executing?
What does the SyncLock do?I'm aware some people don't like the use of Application.DoEvents(). Is it ok to be using it in this instance or is there a better practice?For those wanting to try it out, drag a Label and a Listbox to a new form. Label is called "currentIPTextbox", Listbox is default name.

how this is written in VB.NET? This was an example I found on [URL]
ThreadPool.QueueUserWorkItem(delegate
{
var channelFactory = new ChannelFactory<ISimpleService>("*");
var simpleService = channelFactory.CreateChannel();
var asyncResult = simpleService.BeginGetGreeting("Daniel", null, null);

i have this code which i run with queued 10,000, even when a max of 50 is set but the threadpool counts goes to high.
Public Sub DoWork(ByVal objItem As Object)
Dim objUrl as String = DirectCast(objItem, string)
Try
If objUrl Is Nothing Then
[code]....
EDIT:i use a this code to check the number of runing threads each second
Sub Timer1Tick(sender As Object, e As EventArgs)
tsslthreads.Text=string.Format ("Threads: {0}", Process.GetCurrentProcess().Threads.Count)
End Sub

I have a bunch of operations that need to be executed simultaneously. For this I'm using the thread pool to execute the tasks. I'd like to know if it's possible to consume some sort of Async Callback (similar to BackgroundWorker.DoWorkComplete) when each thread is finished. The reasoning behind this is that I have a windows service running that uses IPC to update a GUI and I need to know the time at which each specific thread finishes I've used background workers to do a set of tasks and they work perfectly, however, they take longer than I would like. I've timed the execution on my BGW method for a designated number of said tasks and it took 27 seconds, and the same set of tasks takes 4 seconds using the threadpool method. I've also tried using managed threads, to the same effect as the background workers.

I'm currently writing an application that is used to automate a certain task. Currently, it uses the threadpool (using up to 25 threads per the enduser's option). Each thread calls a function which will usually take about two minutes to finish, but it uses a While loop in order to repeat the process. This is my code to start the threads:
Private Sub ProcessAllItems()
For i As Integer = 1 To Me.numThreads.Value Step 1
Threading.ThreadPool.QueueUserWorkItem(New Threading.WaitCallback(AddressOf ProcessItem), i)
Next i
End Sub
The function "ProcessItem()" is the function that contains the While loop. The control "Me.numThreads" is a NumericUpDown control whose max value is set to 25. My question is...is this a good method to follow? To my knowledge after .NET Framework SP1 there is a max of 250 threads/CPU. However I've read the the threadpool is normally used for processing short-lived tasks. Should I be using background workers instead? If so, how could I start up to 25 background workers during runtime depending on the value of "Me.numThreads"?

currently i am using a threadpool that contain a number of thread. This number of thread can be different everytime, sometimes 5, sometimes 10, sometimes 15 and so on (multiple of 5). So now i have it working good by using for loop to queue the thread into threadpool. Now the problems is i do not know how to make the progress bar depending on my threadpool. I want my progress bar to complete only when all the thread are done. After searching google, i found that maybe it can be solve by using AutoResetEvent(false), but after i apply to my program, it still did not work, my program hang at xEvent.WaitOne() method and didnt proceed further, anyone can explain to me how to solve the problem? Or got any other ways? For your information, only 5 threads can be running at the same time as the requirement state so (so i set the setmaxthread to 5 already).

I prepare data to be processed, and saved to file. Since this process is slow, I want to delegate it to a parallel thread, so the main routine can end his work faster. The data is processed and saved to file by the "Sub ProcesarDatos", a routine on his instance of "FileProcessor class".
I call the code this way:
Dim
fp As
New
FileProcessor(DatosDeArchivo, Archivo & ".txt", Me)
ThreadPool.QueueUserWorkItem
(NewSystem.Threading.WaitCallback _
AddressOffp.ProcesarDatos))

can somebody give ThreadPool example for application thats needs to get information to datagridview from thousands of sources? My application needs to work fast and without freezing and lag, but I cant figure out this threadpool thing. And would be nice if you could add this thing to example that when I set domainupdown value to 25 as example, it sets threads to 25. So its making work 25x faster. I haven't find any good example for this, only some C# examples but they haven't work after i converted those to vb.net.

I have a app that gathers and store updated data from a list of websites. My app use threadpool and each thread visits a site within the list and gathers the data. I want to create a stop button to stop/ prevent threadpool from running once it is clicked. How do I go about doing this?

I want to open a VB.net form using a ThreadPool with a maximum of 10 threads. I need to do this because, the form should open based on a live event and i need atmost 10 forms on the desktop at a time. If i open the form on every live event without using a ThreadPool, the desktop will be floaded with many forms. I am using QueueUserWorkItem method of threadpool to queue a method which opens the form. In this queued method, there is form1.show() statement called. But after displaying the form, this method finishes execution and again we have 10 threads available in the system. I somehow want to either keep this method running so that 1 thread is occupied or i want to keep the thread alive till the form1 is closed by the user. I want the 11th form to appear on the desktop, only when any of the existing forms out of the 10 (already on desktop) is closed.

When using teh system.threading.timer or threading.threadpool. queueuserworkitem, you are able to pass an object.
But wouldn't the garbage collector destroy the object even before the callback can be executed?[code]...

Been trying to implementing ThreadPool over a large and variable amount of data like the following:
public sub ProcessWorkItem(byval state as object)
Dim originalState as CustomStateInfo = CType(state, CustomStateInfo)
'Do stuff
[Code]....
This of course will bomb out if we have more than 64 items/threads being placed on the ThreadPool.
So, how would one process say x amount of items until there are no more items left to process?

Every time that I want to make a thread in the ThreadPool I make a stupid little function like Worker_O below.[code]...
Is there a way in VB .net to cast from Sub(i as integer) to Sub(o as object) without making Worker_O? Worker_O is ugly to me.

I have a task that needs to be executed many times in a thread, so as to keep my GUI responsive. Right now I'm using the ThreadPool to accomplish the tasks, and it works perfectly. I get all the data I expect back from the threads, life's good. When those tasks are finished, I then fire off another set of threads to accomplish another set of tasks, in the same fashion. The work method of these threads uses a call to RegistryKey.OpenRemoteBaseKey, which does exactly that, opens a remote registry key. The problem is: if the user running the application does not have permission to open the remote registry the call will throw an IOException, but I expect this behaviour because the user does not have permission to do it. However, the call itself can take FOREVER.
I wrote the application initially to use delegate methods and used the WaitHandle.WaitOne() method on AutoResetEvents in a state object I passed to each delegate. I tried the WaitOne method using a timeout, which worked fine until I realized that even though the WaitOne timed out, the thread was still running. This is a problem because (from what I understand) processes are only given a certain number of ThreadPool threads and, once used, they must be finished in order to be released back to the threadpool. In my work method, I also have a variable that can be signalled when the thread should be stopped, but that (obviously) only works on code that I've written.how can I cancel a thread that's stuck on a .NET method? Is there some sort of garbage collection method I can call if I give it a handle?

Learning about threads at the moment, barely managing to wrap my head around it, anyway I was wondering how you would go about making threads run sequentially from threadpool if you added them with
threadpool.queueuserworkitem()
In my code currently I know it is not running sequentially as I set it up to call a function and print a number each call. I gather this could be achieved with using synch lock but not quite sure how.

I have a code which adds each line of a textfile to a List(Of String).I have around 1.5 million entries in the textfile. It adds it to the list in like 1 second. However, I'm trying to add all the users to a threadpool to do a certain function. So I try:
For i as integer = 0 to list.count - 1
The list has like 1.5 million entries so the GUI freezes untill it all finishes in like 5 minutes. How can I make it go faster and not freeze the GUI?

This is going out to the forum at large. Where can I find the most complete explanation of the use of the DataGridView control in VB.Net? Any publication, or on-line reference except MSDN, please. I can never make heads or tales of MSDN.
Likewise, a complete tutorial on the usage of XML within the .Net Framework would be appreciated. Same qualifications as above.

i successfully deployed one application but some small small issues coming in that...Here i want clarify some common doubts in redistributable components...I created one windows application in VS 2008 with C# as language and SQLServer 2005. I created msi setup application in vs 2008 itself. My application includes 2 third party tools. One is for skin and another is for capture images from different devices like camera, web cam etc...Database i deployed is sqlexpress 2005
Generally i added the following prerequisites:
1. Dot Net Framework 3.5
2. Windows Installer 3.1
3. Crystal Report basic runtime for vs 2008 (x86, x64)
4. SQL Server 2005 Express SP2 (x86)
For all these i have no doubts except 4th one.Other than these prerequisistes my first third party tool(for skin) include Visual C++ 2005 Runtime. For this i tried Visual C++ Runtime included in the VS 2008 prerequisites but not worked. So i downloaded Visual C++ 2005 for x86 and x64 and create the custom prerequisites using "Bootstrapper Manifest Generator" and its working successfully For the second third party ocx component (for live video from devices) they telling the following compenents other than ocx component.
a. MFC Libraries (gdiplus.dll, msvcrt.dll, mfc42.dll)
b. DirectX 9 runtime or better
c. Windows Media format runtime files (they gave wmfdist.exe)
I told the system OS requirement is Windows XP SP2 or Vista. Architecture 32 bit and 64 bit(with conditions)
1. I didnt include the 3 MFC Libraries (gdiplus.dll, msvcrt.dll, mfc42.dll) in my setup application Yes i not included the these dlls. But i didnt get any error up to now. I think XP SP2 included these files. Any problem raises in vista or somthing other machines if i leave these files or these files updated when i installed that Visual C++ 2005 runtime? Because when i search MFC libraries i got the result as visual c++ runtime. Please clear about this and tell the i want to include or not?
2. I didn't include DirectX 9 runtime I dont have any common doubt in this because mostly sp2 inludes directX only. But if i inluded these can you give the latest and best redistribution component download link? I dont know is this component differe 32 bit or 64bit?
3. I didnt include Windows Media format runtime files This also i dint included but not got any issues. But some customer told that grains like coming in the live screen. Is this because of unavailability of these component? For include this i didnt got the download link. But i download the sdk from the following link...
[URL]
I installed and i got the same wmfdist.exe as the third party gave. My doubt here is is this support for vista also .. Any incompatabiliy for 64 bit.? if then can anyone give the 64 bit redistribtuion component download link also.
4. SQL Express 2005 Express 64Bit As this application want to support 64 bit also...i want to include 64 bit express edition. But i think the 64 bit support is express advanced version only. Here my problem is if i download tht i cant create custom prerequisites for sql express because i am not well in this.
