threads that watch folders and process files. This works fine, but every time needs change to add a new folder or just change some existing rules I have to go in and change the program. I want to builda front end that storesprocessing infofor each watchfolder. The program would then read the configs and build the threads based on them. I cannot find a way to loop through creating the threads.

View 10 RepliesI 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 program like this.
Module Module1
Public Class Mstr
Public Property Prop1 As String
Public Property Prop2 As String[code]....
But it is not working as I expect it to. You can see it from.The DtlsB properties of all three DtlsA objects are having values from last iteration.
What is the best way to pass objects between threads? I would like to create a new thread that creates a new object : Dim myobject as newobject = new newoject Then in my main thread, I would like to use myobject. Ideally I would like to just assign to a global variable but I don't think that is possible. I think I may have to use some form of delegate function (but I think the child thread would need to complete to use a callback). The new thread will not actually end before I need the object reference in the main thread. How should I go about this?
View 2 Repliesc# - Does queuing threads impact non-thread safe objects in the same class?
View 1 RepliesIf I spawn a thread with ThreadPool.QueueUserWorkItem and that thread does not reference the object that is not thread safe, would it compromise that non-thread safe object? By not thread safe object, I mean a third party interface to a programmable logic controller that has no ability to open simultaneous connections or concurrency support.I suppose I just wanted to be sure that by queuing threads in the same class as my reference to that object, I wouldn't somehow be compromising its thread safeness in a way I didn't realize.
View 2 RepliesI have ran into a situation where it would be a lot faster to create a thread by the users demand. Basically, what I have is some kind of downloading program which grabs URLs from the clipboard into a DataGridView. Now when multiple URL's have been added, it becomes really inefficient since only one URL is being processed at a time.Now what I wanted to do is, create a thread for each URL. The parameter for each thread are the URLs which are stored as strings inside the DataGridView rows.[code]

I need to 'download' the contents of an XML file that resides on some web address and parse them. I need to do this about once every 5 seconds. I use a HttpWebRequest to do it, but I don't think that's relevant.The 'problem' is that this request + parsing can take a little bit of time, and even more time if internet is a little bit slow. So, I decided to do it in a background thread.I have a method, let's call it GetXmlInfo(), which does all the hard work. Then, I have a timer that ticks every 5 seconds. Now I have two options for starting the thread.Option 1: creating a new Thread object every time the timer ticks:
vb.net
Private Sub Timer1_Tick(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs) Handles Timer1.Tick Dim t As New Thread(AddressOf GetXmlInfo) t.Start()End Sub
[code].....
In option 2, when the GetXmlInfo method has not finished yet, no new thread will be created and the GetXmlInfo is 'skipped' for one timer tick (or possibly more). Could this create a sort of "deadlock" (I know it's not really a deadlock), like if the thread never finishes for some reason?
I have a loop with WebRequest objects which I declare every iteration. I thought it would be more efficient to declare them outside of the loop and only modify the one parameter that changed but it didn�t work. Why is that? It seems like the loop acts like a subroutine or other block that kills it�s objects at the end of each iteration. Is this the case? It seems other global objects like a text box can be modified this way so why not the WebRequest?
View 4 RepliesCurrently I create a thread the following way (the normal way)
Public loginThread As Thread
Public loginThreadStart As New ThreadStart(AddressOf LogIntoWhatever)
Public callLoggedIn As New MethodInvoker(AddressOf loggedIn)
However, what I want to be able to do is something along the lines of (this obviously does not work, and is entirely pseudocode)
dim i as integer = 0
for i = 0 to i = 25
Public loginThread(i) as Thread
Public loginThreadStart(i) as New ThreadStart(AddressOf LogIntoWhatever)
next i
Public callLoggedIn as new MethodInvoker(AddressOf loggedIn)
Where I could change 25 to whatever I wanted and have that number of threads created. They would all be running an identical sub which does do not make calls of any kind to each other, they don't need knowledge of each other. Is anything like this possible?

I am trying to populate a dictionary with objects created from data in a recordset, but am having difficulty with VB's object referencing. I am very new to VB. Pseudo code of what I am trying to do:
dim dict as Dictionary
rs = getRecordSet
while rs.moveNext
set myObj = new MyClass
myObj.properties = rs.relevantFields
dict.add myObj.getUniqueKey, myObj
wend
However, all 'objects' in the dictionary are actually references to the most recently created (and thus last) object in the dictionary. I know why what I am doing above is not working, but I don't know the correct way to do it so that each element in the dictionary is it's own object.
i need to create multiple threads to improve a function on my program. it is a simple thing really but it's slow and if multithreaded it can improve the speed some thousand times. my program uses a dll to check the MX record of an e-mail from a textbox called emails if the mx record is correct then it validates that domain, if not, it sends to an error textbox with that mail my problem is that im reading a lot on multithreading and i dont have an idea how to make something like this: for x=0 to emails.lines.count -1' start a thread that runs my function next if i can limit the number of threads to avoid crashing it would be good.

So I made a simple patform game where the player has to jump quickly while the platforms move to the bottom of the screen, as to not touch the bottom of the screen. But, I need to know how to create a loop to loop the locations of the platform. This means that after twenty or so platforms, the same platforms come up again, so that the player will have an "endless" game. I've declared all the platform's locations relative to the location of the first repeating platform:

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 am using a loop to update properties of each object of a set of custom objects. The routine knows which controls to update because the controls value is not empty, I don't want the routine setting the corresponding properties to nothing when the control is empty. Now I know how to do this perfectly fine with IF statements such as:
CODE:
But this feels really redundant doing that same IF block over and over for each property/control combination, I thought about creating a separate routine that takes the control as an argument and does all the repetitive IF blocks but I don't know how I could also pass an object property to tell the routine to update that particular property.
I need two seperate lists, which every item is Integer, String, Bitmap - and one which every item is Integer, String String. However I don't know how to do this, or even where to look - I've googled for custom objects and custom object lists. What I'm trying to do is this.Custom Object1 is Integer, String, Bitmap Custom Object2 is Integer, String, String
In one thread I'll be adding items to List1(Of Object1), and processing them, and adding the results to List2(Of Object2), however I need to be able from other threads to look at the list and say only give me the items where Integer = (my thread ID), is this possible? Any help, or even links to information that would be relevant to this request would be helpful?
If I have a large number of classes, each similar to the other in certain aspects (they all share a common base class, but each does things differently), and I need to create Windows forms for each to allow easy changing of their values through a GUI? Create one matching form for each object in VS' forms designer, Or Use code to create the forms dynamically at runtime.
#2 makes the most sense to me, because a lot of these objects will share very common features of the form, notably "Ok" and "Cancel" buttons. But one object might need to draw a textbox on the form while another might need to draw a combobox. Not to mention, if I want to put icons on the "Ok" and "Cancel" buttons, I'd have to do this for each copy of the form in designer, and that sounds like it could get out of hand quickly.But is drawing forms through code sane? VS' forms designer is pretty sophisticated and designed to make life easier. Am I wise to consider ignoring its functionality and diving into the trench warfare of forms design through code? Or are there examples of automating form creation based on an existing object's properties?

I have to ask my first question at some point, so here she goes.I am trying to create a dynamic list of objects. The objects will have several types (String, Integer) associated with them. Currently I am forming a Collection as I instantiate new objects.Is there a prefered to map this collection to, say, a Datagridview? Will I have to Iterate through the collection and add the rows at each iteration?Would I be better served using an ArrayList or something else over a Collection?
