Can I declare and stop thread this way ?

I have an external VB6 app that I call
in a loop. Because the process is long,
I would like to be able to terminate the spawned thread &
the VB6 application.

My current loop calls a this function to create and start
a new thread. I suspect I can make it 'global' and then
simply restart the thread. Instead of making a new one,
but will that stop the VB app ? And is this a good way to
do it ? Thanks

Okay, I assume I'm missing something obvious here. I have created a simple service in C# that on starting spawns a thread to do some processing. The service can be stopped with a "net stop" command of course, but under some circumstances the service will decide to terminate itself. My OnStart looks something like this: protected override void OnStart(string args) { serviceThread = new Thread(new ThreadStart(ServiceThreadStart));...

Hi, I created application that I get information from AS400 for reporting. In main.exe has only 1 frm which calls (as a class library) CLS_MAIN.dll. The CLS_MAIN.dll get the tables from AS400 and stores it in Dataset. Then returns to main frm then main frm calls the FirstReport.dll. The FirstReport.dll get the information from access database and creates the sqkl string and works with dataset and then writes in pre-formated Excel sheet.

Hi, I am writing a service which takes a long time to stop after the OnStop call is given by the Services Snap-in. The problem is I cannot cut down on the time that it takes to Stop. The Service snap-in gives me the error saying that the service did not respond to the Stop call in a timely fashion. So is there any method by which I can get around this problem. Thanks Prasad

I embedded an Rpyc threaded server in a preexistent daemon (an irc bot), this is actually very simple; start_threaded_server(port = DEFAULT_PORT) then I had the necessity to stop the thread which accept() new connections without killing the whole app, the thread is simply a while True that spawn a new thread which serves each connection, so I placed a flag and a break in this way: def local_threaded_server(port = DEFAULT_PORT, **kw):...

I'm using Thread and ThreadStart to create a thread for testing purposes and I do not want to use a pool because the thread exists for the life time of the app. Eventually I might move on to using pools but at this point I'm just testing some timing issues. in any cause the thread is simply a counter, static void counter()

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
