ThreadPool. Why why why is so difficult to set the max size? :(

AA
Why microsoft make so hard to change the max Pool Size??

I really need to change it to 50, because I'm using delegates with
BeginInvoke and I saw that they (delegates) use the ThreadPool, but I saw
too that is very complicate to change the ThreadPool size and if I want, I
need to use unmanage resources

http://www.csharpfriends.com/Article...?articleID=201

If I use unmanage resources my application will not be portable to others OS

So, somebody know another way or know something that I don't

Thanks a lot

when you say hard what exactly do you mean? programmaticall y? it's a config
file setting, you change the number save the file. I missed where it was
difficult.

You really need to understand context switching and thread scheduling before
you go shoot yourself in the foot as Paldino pointed out. If you need more
than 25 threads, you either have very specialized needs or you should be
reexamining your design.

This is true when the number of threads is <= MaxThreads (25 per process/CPU).
If the pool is exhausted, the queud workitem will wait for a pooled thread to become free, therefore it's important to use the
threadpool only for short running, non blocking tasks.

What kind of guarantee are you looking for? AFAIK when a work item is queued
up and there is no available thread it will create a new one. Do you have
specific timing issues that the threadpool does not satisfy?

I saw that the ThreadPool has a limit of 25 simultaneus thread, but I really need to increase this number. Because I use delegate BeginInvoke and this use the ThreadPool for asyncroneus operations. Somebody know how to increase this number? I saw that I need to use the CorSetMaxThreads in the mscoree.h, but what exactly that means?

Threads and ThreadPool's If I use a ThreadPool how can I tell when a thead in the threadpool has exited? I don't want to set a global member variable I would much rather be able to act on an event Also (failing this ThreadPool issue) is it possible to create an array of Worker Threads, can anyone illustrate with code please Thanks

Hi There I have been programming C# for a couple of months and am trying to master Threading.

Hello, I have always used a certain design pattern for multithreaded Windows app; Start new worker thread from UI thread, use events to notify UI threads when something happens, update UI controls using delegates through .BeginInvoke. I came across some code samples recently where ThreadPool class is used to start new threads. My questions; 1. what's the difference? 2. Any performance benefits?

Using this: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/3dasc8as(VS.80).aspx as an example I have a question concerning the reuse of objects. In the example 10 instances of the Fibonacci class are made and then all put in the threadpool at once, which is well within the limits of the threadpool. However, what happens if you want to do 10,000 Fibonacci calculations

Hi, I'm using asp.net 2.0 and I have an understanding issue here! I don't quite understand when the available threads in the ThreadPool are ever used. The application I have running doesn't use ThreadPool.QueueWorkItem, and doesn't create any other Threads. So say I have 100 users access my application at the exact same time and they all call on an aspx that takes a couple of seconds to process. I gather 100 sessions are active, but...

Overview: 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,...
