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 ISynchronizeInv oke into the class and use it to
synchronize the callback. In the constructor of the class, could I
take note of the current thread (Thread.Current Thread), store a
reference to that, and then somehow marshall the callback onto it?
I didn't see any method, either static or instance, in the Thread
class which provides this functionality.
If someone could shed some light on this I'd appreciate it.
Thanks,
Shea 6 5103
Shea,
If you are not doing some sort of looping in the thread that you are
making the calling from, you will not be able to do this. You can not just
inject code into a running thread. The reason why the Control class is able
to do this is that ultimately, the control is hosted on a thread that
continuously processes windows messages, and a windows message is sent into
that loop to process the call to Invoke on the ISynchronizeInv oke
implementation.
Why can't you make this call on another thread? Can you give some more
details about what it is you are trying to do? What is it that is
thread-specific that you have to maintain?

Thanks for the response.
Let's say I wanted to connect to a database asynchronously. .. I could
write a class that included a method like this:
public void ConnectAsync()
{
if(!bConnecting Aync)
{
// Do this on a new thread
//
ThreadPool.Queu eUserWorkItem(n ew WaitCallback(de legate
{
while (true)
{
try
{
dbConnection.Op en();
}
catch (InvalidOperati onException)
{ }
if (IsConnected())
{
if(IsConnectedE vent != null)
IsConnectedEven t() // Ideally, I'd like this to be
called on the thread that instantiated the class...
break;
}
Thread.Sleep(10 000);
}
bConnectingAync = false;
}));
}
}
All methods called by the IsConnectedEven t() will be executed on a
thread other than that which they were instantiated. Performance is
not an issue in my application (one thread is fine), so I'd like to
not have to deal with any thread synchronization issues at all... it's
a matter of convenience & curiosity than anything. In the past, to
solve this problem I've thrown an ISynchronizeInv oke instance all over
the place, but it's a bit of a nuisance. Just wondering if there was a
way to marshall a call onto a thread given it's .NET Thread object.
I'm working with a 3rd party .NET library (National Instruments
Measurement Studio ... http://www.ni.com/mstudio) that does
asynchronous network communication, and the callbacks from the
"network" objects are automatically marshalled back to the thread
which instantiated them.
** Actually, after reading their documentation, you can do what I want
by using the Synchronization Context class...
In the constructor of the class, get a reference to the current
Synchronization Context
sc = Syncrhonization Context.Current ;
Then when I do my callback
if(IsConnectedE vent != null)
{
sc.Send(new SendOrPostCallb ack(delegate
{
IsConnectedEven t() // Somehow gets marshalled onto the thread that
the constructor was called on
}), null);
}
Perhaps there are some caveats to this I'm not aware of? (I can't
think of anything but performance...)

Shea,
I doubt that the calls are marshaled automatically to the thread that
created them. What is more likely than not happening is that when the
callback is fired for the async operation, reflection is performed on the
object to determine if it implements ISynchronizeInv oke. If it does, then
the call is routed back to the thread that the call must be made on. I'm
assuming you want to do something similar. If you have a delegate, you can
work your way back to the ISynchronizeInv oke interface using the Target
property offered on the delegate.
There is no way to inject a call into the call stack of a running thread
with just the Thread object.

the
operation is complete. I'd like the notification to be performed on

this

Ugh, my response wasn't showing up for me... so I reposted on Sunday.
It's now there. Oops.
Anyhow, yeah, working your way back to the ISynchronizeInv oke through
the .target property of the delegate is an interesting idea...
The Synchronization Context class seems to do exactly what I require
though, and doesn't require traversing through the .Target properties
of the delegates...

All methods called by the IsConnectedEven t() will be executed on a
thread other than that which they were instantiated. Performance is
not an issue in my application (one thread is fine), so I'd like to
not have to deal with any thread synchronization issues at all... it's
a matter of convenience & curiosity than anything. In the past, to
solve this problem I've thrown an ISynchronizeInv oke instance all over
the place, but it's a bit of a nuisance. Just wondering if there was a
way to marshall a call onto a thread given it's .NET Thread object.
I'm working with a 3rd party .NET library (National Instruments
Measurement Studio ...http://www.ni.com/mstudio) that does
asynchronous network communication, and the callbacks from the
"network" objects are automatically marshalled back to the thread
which instantiated them.
** Actually, after reading their documentation, you can do what I want
by using the Synchronization Context class...
In the constructor of the class, get a reference to the current
Synchronization Context
sc = Syncrhonization Context.Current ;
Then when I do my callback
if(IsConnectedE vent != null)
{
sc.Send(new SendOrPostCallb ack(delegate
{
IsConnectedEven t() // Somehow gets marshalled onto the thread that
the constructor was called on
}), null);
}
Perhaps there are some caveats to this I'm not aware of? (I can't
think of anything but performance...)

Shea,
If you are not doing some sort of looping in the thread that you
are
making the calling from, you will not be able to do this. You can not
just
inject code into a running thread. The reason why the Control class
is
able
to do this is that ultimately, the control is hosted on a thread that
continuously processes windows messages, and a windows message is sent
into
that loop to process the call to Invoke on the ISynchronizeInv oke
implementation.
Why can't you make this call on another thread? Can you give some
more
details about what it is you are trying to do? What is it that is
thread-specific that you have to maintain?

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 ISynchronizeInv oke into the class and use it to
synchronize the callback. In the constructor of the class, could I
take note of the current thread (Thread.Current Thread), store a
reference to that, and then somehow marshall the callback onto it?
I didn't see any method, either static or instance, in the Thread
class which provides this functionality.
If someone could shed some light on this I'd appreciate it.
Thanks,

I am using asynchronous delegates to make a call to a COM ActiveX object, but even though the call occurs on a separate thread, my UI is still blocking.
