VS 2008 Manage / Start Two Threads Which Read Some Elements In An Array

Jun 5, 2010

I have a function which does some processing. Lets name that function DoWork. This function takes some inputs as structure and a string. Now I want to start two threads which would read some elements in an array and then call DoWork with some data and value of that element. DoWork would do processing and thats it. I want two threads to run side by sid.

So I tried to write code but kinda failed. I wrote a function which starts a thread and calls DoWork. Now DoWork accepts structure and string etc. But when we do say abcthread = new threadig.thread(addressof <sub name>). here we cant pass any-value except object. That was first problem.

Anyway, main problem is after the thread has finished processing DoWork, how do I find that out and tell that thread to take another element from array and start again. This has to be managed for both the threads. I need to find out which thread has finished first and tell it to start again with another value. I have usually used one thread but not two in this way.

Sync Locks - Manage Access To A Collection Object From Multiple Threads - Add, Update, Remove, Clear

Oct 20, 2009

I am considering a piece of code that will manage access to a collection object from multiple threads - add, update, remove, clear. OK ... so I have put a sync lock within each method, but what is not clear from the MS documentation is exactly how the sync lock is behaving. Is it locking the piece of code it wraps? Or is it locking the object? And if it is locking the object a private static object should lock out any code locked on the object within all instances of the object? i.e. if an add operation is underway, an update, delete or clear will wait for the lock to be released.

Finally, if I have multiple threads contending for the sync lock, how is the release managed? First come, first serve? random (from my p.o.v)? Is there a chance that two separate threads could blunder into 'locked' code simulataneously?

.net - Doesn't Media.SoundPlayer.Play() Actually Start A Two New Threads, When Called Twice?

Mar 9, 2011

I'm writing a simple little program in VB.NET that has to play two sounds - at the same time.The problem is, that when I call SoundPlayer.Play() twice in immediate succesion, it seems that the latter call sorts of "takes over" the thread that is created by the first call, instead of creating a new one, like it says it should do in the docs.I'm using the following code:

Private Sub Button_OFD_Sound1_Browse_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button_OFD_Sound1_Browse.Click
LoadSound(OFD_Sound1, TextBox_OFD_Sound1_SelectedFile, SoundPlayer_Sound1)
End Sub

I've come up with the following and it's partly working.

Public serial1, serial2, serial3, serial4, serial5 As SerialPort
Public serialports() As Object = New Object() {serial1, serial2, serial3, serial4, serial5}
dComPort = "COM4"[code]....

The above code works fine! But im having trouble trying to now retreive whats stored in the array.In the above example, an entry will be stored in serialports(4), all other array elements will be blank.If I do this it works.

MsgBox(serialports(4).PortName) ' this retuns the value COM4

But I'd like to loop though all array elements and print out ALL the PortNames, The below code doesnt work, I get an error Object variable or With block variable not set.

For i = 0 To serialports.Length - 1
MsgBox(serialports(i).portname)

Get Multiple Threads To Store Data In One Array?

Sep 4, 2009

I have a application that use threadpool, and each thread stores data in the same textfile. I now want to have each thread store the data in the same array instead and use a timer to store all current data in the array into the text file after every couple of minutes.

So what I want to do is:

1. All threads store data in one array that they all have access to

2. After every couple of minutes the data in the array is stored into the text file.

I know number 2 can be done with a timer, but is the first one possible? If so how do I accomplish this task?

Then add code that adds each element to the next one every time a user clicks a button. I have had many tries but the best I can get is just the grand total of the elements. Here is the code I came up with:-

My approach is to create functions that calculate the required metrics. I have only tried to code one function to date. If I can get help making one function work, I will be able to do the others .
