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?
View 2 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 question about the firing of events in vb. Lets say if I have timer that fires every 10 seconds and then I also have eventhandler that is listening to some other event (like message arrived in queue and now event fires to process it). Then how does vb handles them if the program is currently processing Timer1 and message arrive event fires or vice versa? Does it complete the current processing and then jump to the next event or just switch in the middle to the new event and then finishes that and then resumes back to the first one?

View 1 RepliesIs there a way in Visual Studio (2008 or 2010, don't care right now which one) to show all warnings and/or messages in a project?Currently, I see all warnings and messages for all open files/documents. It would be handy if I could switch an option somewhere or something to show all the warnings and messages without needing to open everything.(I ask this as I'm developing a web site in VS that I have inherited from an ex-colleague and there's lots of messages per page regarding outdated attributes and the like)

Does anyone have a 1 to n thread example in which n threads are created dynamically? There are a number of examples that show a definite number of threads, and some that imply n threads by using a tcp ip listener or a file system listener. However, I'm looking for a 1 to n created in response to a dynamic requirements, provided purely by and for my program.Essentially, my requirement is to be scalable. 1 to n threads based on application throughput should make this pretty easy to satisfy.

View 6 RepliesIn 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?

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?

View 4 RepliesI guess that I'm not the first who ask this, but what is the easiest way to use threads in VB.NET? I mean, I need to download some string from a remote server and then to show that string in the GUI, so I have to use some callback function to call it in the main thread. I found different approaches for this, but all seems very difficult compared to Python where (with GTK) I used something like: gobject.idle_add(callback_function, parameters) and "callback_function" was executed in the main thread. How I do that in VB.NET?

This code should read the string "34,56,23,74,69" from a process's memory addresses (in this case notepad), right now it works but very slow and I think it even breaks somewhere. My problem is with the ReadProcessMemory function. I can't make it read an entire mbi.RegionSize into the buffer. I tried everything and now, it only reads 1 byte at a time until the mbi.RegionSize is finished then it checks if the text that was read contains the text I need to be found, then it goes to the next mbi.RegionSize. Now, even with notepad which is very small it still takes 10 seconds to find something and I intend to use it with a much bigger program, so it will take like forever. Another problem is that it only finds the string "34". If I put "34,5" it won't work.
