How to thread a class

Hi All

I'm wondering how to thread my control class. I've got a main GUI class
that calls to the control class to perform all the work ( database,
processing, printing, ect... ).

What I'm looking to do is to thread that control class so that the GUI
dosen't "freeze" when a intensive process is called.

I've threaded in java before but am not quite sure how to go about it in C#.
I pretty much want my control class the run in its own thread the entire
time the program is running. Is this bad?

Thanks

Bryan

You idea is a fine one. Code like:

Thread SolverThread = new Thread(new ThreadStart(Sol ver));
SolverThread.Pr iority = ThreadPriority. BelowNormal;
SolverThread.St art();

will do the trick. Read the description of classes Thread and ThreadStart.
If you want your solver thread to put data to the UI you will need to use
Invoke.

May also want to take a look at the ThreadPool class.

Dot .NET is not like Java in that you have a JVM that works the same on all
on supported platforms. If you need to support Win98/WInME, not all methods
in the ThreadPool class are supported.

My first thought was to call WorkerThread.Suspend but the help cautions against this (for good reason) because the caller has no control over where the thread actually stops, and it might have a lock pending, for example. I want to be able to stop a thread temporarily, and then optionally resume it or stop it for good.

Hello all, I've been searching for a solution on google for a problem related to creating events from a worker thread, with no luck.. Basically, the problem is when my events are caught by a UI using my class, they get the usual "Control 'blah' accessed from a thread other than the thread it was created on.". I understand that of course, but my class is to be distributed to people who don't want to have to worry about invoking...

If I'm creating a class to do some work that I want threaded out, where's the best location to call ThreadStart? Or does it depend on the nature of the work? a. Call it outside the class, giving it the starting method of the class? b. Have the class create the thread itself? ie: x = new WorkerClass(); ioThread = new Thread(new ThreadStart(x.StartWork));

All, Not sure if this is possible or not - I've created a class which performs an asynchronous operation and provides notification when the operation is complete. I'd like the notification to be performed on the same thread thread that instantiated the class. One way to do this is to pass an ISynchronizeInvoke into the class and use it to synchronize the callback. In the constructor of the class, could I take note of the current thread...

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,...
