C# - String Concatenation And Threads In .NET?
Oct 18, 2011
In VB.net, I tested concatenating 100k strings and found out one thread alone did it in 23 milliseconds. Two threads (each concatenating 50k) then joining the two at the end took 30 milliseconds. Performance wise, it didn't seem beneficial to utilize multiple threads when dealing with only 100k concatenations. Then I tried 3 million string concatenations and two threads each handling 1.5MM always demolished one thread handling all 3 million. I imagine at some point using 3 threads becomes beneficial, then 4, and so on. Is there a more efficient way to concatenate millions of strings in .NET?
fyi, this is the code I wrote:
Imports System.Text
Imports System.Threading
Imports System.IO

I've spent the last 3 hours trying to figure out why this string won't concatenate.
The function takes in a mapped drive letter and creates a UNC path and returns it.
Any thoughts welcome:

Possible Duplicate: The difference between + and & for joining strings in VB.Net.In VB.NET you can use either += or &= to concatenante a string (ignoring using a StringBuilder for this question -- this is directed at a very simple concatenation).

My code is

But when I comment those lines (which are uncommented in code above) its working fine.
I am taking value in filepath variable from file dialog's FileName property.
EDIT: I have also compared the values of variable stropt and strwithpara with "IF" condition and found those are same.

I'm trying to concatenate two properties into one string like so:
public class thing
public property word() as string()
public property count() as integer()
[Code]....
This is what I want, but it doesn't help that its in the debug output...I need to put it into a single string. I've tried using a_thing.count(i).tostring, but it doesnt work. If I look at the arrays individually, they have exactly the contents I want. But I can't concatenate them. Does it have something to do with suppressing the new line that debug.writeline usually creates?

I've got a small app which I use to start a 3rd party application. When run from a shortcut the VB app starts the 3rd party app to and when loaded it displays its own file/folder interface, the VB app the closes itself. However, if you open a file in explorer associated with the 3rd party app, the 3rd party application loads and opens the file itself and not the file/open interface.
Uh OK, so what's the problem??The issue is I have changed the file extension associated with the 3rd party app to now use my VB app. I can successfully open files with the app from explorer if there are no spaces in the file or folder path however if there are, the 3rd party app opens and displays a File not found error message and gives the path up to the point where the space then follows.The relevant snippets of code from the app relating to the issue is below, specifically Dim Arguments variable where I am not quite sure how my string cocantenation should be to deal with the value of the variable 'Filename' which may or may not contain spaces.

The following output produces a string with no closing xml tag. m_rFlight.Layout = m_rFlight.Layout + "<G3Grid:Spots>" + Me.gvwSpots.LayoutToString() + "</G3Grid:Spots>"
This following code works correctly
m_rFlight.Layout = m_rFlight.Layout + "<G3Grid:Spots>" + Me.gvwSpots.LayoutToString()
m_rFlight.Layout = m_rFlight.Layout + "</G3Grid:Spots>" 'add closing tag
What's going on here, what's the reason the first example isnt working and the second is?
The gvwSpots.LayoutToString() function returns a string.

I just had a new, last-minute idea on to take on a task, so I am running to StackExchange for quick help.
What I want to do is execute a series of methods right in a row, each in their own threads. I want the application to wait until all of these threads are completed, after which the program will resume. It also has to use managed threading (thread pool).
What quick examples could you provide to help me along the way? If it's too complex, what things should I know about so that I can Google it on my own?

I have a main thread which is designed to be a batch processor - it spawns a series of 'child' threads from a loop (which can vary in terms of the no of items) - see below
[Code]...
However, each of the 'child' threads could take anywhere from milliseconds to about a minute to process - depending on the complexity of each calculation. There may also be a large number of child threads - e.g 100s. Creating large numbers of child threads is not efficient. I therefore want some way to effectively queue each child thread (and cancel if the process is taking too long to complete). Autoevents seems like one way of doing this, but the only examples I can find seem to assume there are two different processes on seperate threads, not one process being repeated.

I have a application that writes and reads from a serial port.The com-port is opened elsewhere in the early stages of starting / running frm_Main and is not shown. I have a button1 on my form and when I click it, the module 'RTUValues_Get_IOData' executes perfectly ok, with no errors.[code]However when I call it via a thread [button2], I get the following exception error and it hangs, at the part shown above in RED"Conversion from string "" to type 'Double' is not valid."

I'm trying to improve performance of an application by introducing threading (see my earlier question). I have filled a Queue(of String) with XML messages and I now want to setup two threads to post these messages to a webserver). This process needs to ensure that each message is only posted once. Would a BackgroundWorker (or two) be suitable for this?

I'm trying to compose a String from multiple Strings, where some of the Strings may be in Arabic letters, the problem is that when I concatenate them, their order is being messed !!
For example, I have the following Strings:
Ref1
مسكه
2
Left
I want to concatenate them with the same previous order seperated by "-", but instead I get Ref1-مسكه-2-Left, as you can see, 2 is written before مسكه Does anyone know how to fix this problem, because it's really important in my case to have the exact same order, and I don't know where or when I might have these arabic strings, because it's being entered by User.

When I am concatenating object values together to form a string in VB.NET, is there a difference in performance or a recommended best practice between using the & concat or the + concat with calls to .ToString() on each object?
Example (which is faster or best practice):
Dim result1 As String = 10 & "em"
Dim result2 As String = 10.ToString() + "em"

I need to run TWO Threads in a web application, .NET. 3.5 Both methods MakeRedCars and MakeBlueCars need to run at the same time as both take 5 seconds. I have tried many example codes with very bad results. I dont need anymore than 2 threads. The main issue I am having is knowing how to wait till they are finished and also how to store the results from each.Each of the Methods do different things, one is a web request, one is a sql call.
Both methods return a list of(cars) for example do:
carList.addrange(MakeRedCars())
carList.addrange(MakeBlueCars())
for each car in carlist<br>
response.write(car.colour + "<r>")
next
I have implemented the answered below and with empty objects all works well, as soon as you hook in a database call that returns the data/objects studio does a JIT and crashes.

I can only run "so many" threads concurretnly, a notion which I have seen elsewhere.As a threading novoice, how can I determine the maximum number of threads to use? Or is this a "how long is a piece of string" question? What does it depends on? Hardware config or what?

it would be best if I just copy and pasted the code (it's very trivial).
Private Sub Main() Handles MyBase.Shown
timer.Interval = 10
timer.Enabled = True
End Sub
[code]....
An exception, "The object is currently in use elsewhere", is raised during the tick event.

I am having an issue where I need to implement a type of thread scheduling... I'm looking to implement a list of tasks, each with a set time that they need to execute, and after the time is up they will execute the respective code that goes with that task. I would use a timer based solution, however, I don't think that it would be very efficient. There will be a very large list of tasks, some of which need to be executed within seconds of being placed in the list.

I'm having a bit of an issue killing threads off and resetting my form. After starting the threads, everything runs fine. When I want to cancel the threads, the threads are all killed off "properly" using the Abortable Thread Pool, but how do I know that all the threads are dead? I've tried using both GetAvailableThreads and GetMinThreads compared against the thread count that should be running if they're all killed off, but I can't seem to get it to work. The only time I can get the GetAvailableThreads to return the "correct" number is if I freeze one thread and kill off the rest.
