Hi there,
I'm building an application that makes heavy use of centralized static
methods (and variables) and would just appreciate hearing someone grade my
understanding of the concept.
In probably common fashion, my static methods are typically in the DAL of my
web application. I don't have any concerns about the methods, but a lot of
collections (ArrayLists, custom collections inheriting from
System.Collecti ons.CollectionB ase, etc) are being created and passed out of
this layer. These are _not_ static collections, and my understanding is that
these are instantiated and passed out par norm, regardless of the fact that
the method itself is static. However, knowing that collections are
inherently thread-UNsafe, I still wonder about this and whether there are
exceptions to the rule or pitfalls I should be watching out for. It seems
that I shouldn't be worried about it in the capacity I've just described.
I'm pretty sure this is the case, but I'd rest easier if I could hear an
active confirmation of this..
Thanks for any advice,
S 2 1503
You are ok as long as nothing is shared. The collections you mentioined,
while created/modified in a static method, are in fact created on the heap
as per normal and although the same method can be accessed by multiple users
(static method), the variables it creates are specific heap instances and
therefore not shared across any static methods unless they themselves are
static or thread statics. The DAAB (Data Access Application block) is based
on this premise.
So basically dont worry. All is good.

Having trouble with my first forays into threads. Basically, the
threads don't seem to be working in parallel (or you might say are
blocking). I've boiled my problems to the following short code block
and ensuing output. Seems like the output should be all interleaved
and of course it's not. Running Python 2.2 from ActiveState on
Windows XP (also doesn't work on Windows 2000).
Thanks in advance!

Hi
I have following problem: I'm creating two threads who are performing some
tasks. When one thread finished I would like to restart her again (e.g. new
job). Following example demonstrates that. Problem is that when program is
started many threads are created (see output section), when only two should
be running at any time. Can you please help me to identify me where the
problem is?

Hi all,
I've got a server that handles a relatively high number of concurrent
transactions (on the magnitude of 1000's per second). Client
applications establish socket connections with the server. Data is
sent and received over these connections using the asynchronous model.
The server is currently in beta testing. Sporadically over the course
of the day, I'll observe the thread count on the process (via perfmon)

Hi all,
A question from someone on a website got me thinking about this, and I
wondered if anyone could explain this.
A System.Threading.Timer object is garbage collected if it has no references
to it. But what about threads? If I start a new thread that only does 1+1,
is it garbage collected after that? If so, do all threads get garbage
collected eventually that are 'done'? And if not, why not? Are there
references to the thread that...

Hi,
I don't understand why sometimes, a loop running in a thread takes
much more time than usual.
I have a thread that must call each 20 ms a C++ unmanaged function.
I made a C++ managed wrapper for calling this function from C# (see
below _serialChannel.ItTask ()).
It works great but for this timing problem.
Here below, the main loop for this thread :

I have noticed how the thread I created just stops running. I have added
several exceptions to the thread
System.Threading.SynchronizationLockException
System.Threading.ThreadAbortException
System.Threading.ThreadInterruptedException
System.Threading.ThreadStateException
to see if I could get more information about why the thread stops running
but that code is never executed. Any ideas on how I can debug this?

There's no way to set thread priorities within Python, is there?
We have some threads that go compute-bound, and would like to
reduce their priority slightly so the other operations, like
accessing the database and servicing queries, aren't slowed
as much.

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
