Thread suspend and resume methods. Alternatives?

Hi I'm having some weird threading issues.. almost at random, if I dare change a line of my code, the shutdown sequence gets messed up. I'm using a thread to receive data from the network, that I suspend and resume whenver needed. In order to properly shut down the program every thread has to be aborted. So, I override OnClosing(CancelEventArgs e) in my main GUI program, and have it perform the following on the thread: if...

Suppose a function which has Sleep() method in it. And I want to recycle it. I made two buttons which call "Resume()" and "Suspend()". But It doesn't work. The state of thread "t" will be "WaitSleepJoin" when it runs because the function it calls - "GenerateEvents()" has "Sleep()" function. Can I solve this problem with Thread? I don't want add nasty boll flags on it.

Hi All, In following example, while playing file, if thread goes in WaitSleepJoin state, due to Thread.Sleep method. Now I want to suspend thread by clicking on cmdSuspend button. I have written following code, which doesn't suspend it. Even I tried it by calling m_PlayThread.Interrupt() method which suspends the thread but cannot resume it again by calling Resume method. Any kind help will be appreciated.

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.

Greetings: I'd like to post this as a new thread to an article in microsoft.public.dotnet.languages.vb originally made by nevin and replied to by Alan Pretre back in December ("ThreadState == not in the enumeration"). Like nevin, I have a VB.NET multi-threaded application, and quite frequently, after my main application class will call Thread.Suspend() on the thread the ThreadState of the Suspended Thread will be a value of 96. From...

Hi all, I have a loop in the thread checking for a particular service status, whenever the status changes to "stopped" a RaiseEvent is generated by thread and another function runs. At the same time the thread is suspended. When I try to resume it from the another function I have some problems. Thank you. Juky

How does one attach a thread so it can update the UI of a form? The other thing is I thought .IsBackground makes the thread active so it doesn't stop looping until the main thread dies. This doesn't seem to be the case however with it just dying after one run. I recall there being a Win32 API by the name AttachThreadInput, is this the answer? I'm using the code below to launch the thread.

As the Suspend method is deprecated, what method can I use? What I want to do is when the user press the button "Cancel", it will prompt the user to confirm it he want to stop the process, I need to suspend the thread before the user choose "Yes" or "No". If he choose "Yes", I will call Thread.Abort() If he choose "No", I will call Thread.Resume().

Hello, I want to understand whats the best way to write code to replace Thread.Suspend, Thread.Resume and Thread.Abort. I have lots of code calling these existing methods and want to minimize the risk of changing the code everywhere so here is what I think I could do, which is to create my own ThreadWrapper class which inherits from Thread and which has these three methods already defined but does it a different way and then my...

I have a code which registers all threads with a thread dump class. At intervals this thread dump class will dump the stack trace of all threads. As calling StackTrace(threadtoDump) from a different thread other than the treadToDump the threadToDump must be suspended otherwise a ThreadStateException gets thrown. However under .NET 2.0 System.Threading.Thread.Suspend/Resume have been marked as obsolete with reference to better methods of...

ONU (Optical Network Unit) is one of the key components for providing high-speed Internet services. Its primary function is to act as an endpoint device located at the user's premises. However, people are often confused as to whether an ONU can Work As a Router. In this blog post, we’ll explore What is ONU, What Is Router, ONU & Router’s main usage, and What is the difference between ONU and Router. Let’s take a closer look ! Part I. Meaning of...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

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,...

Dear forum friends, With the development of smart home technology, a variety of wireless communication protocols have appeared on the market, such as Zigbee, Z-Wave, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, etc. Each protocol has its own unique characteristics and advantages, but as a user who is planning to build a smart home system, I am a bit confused by the choice of these technologies. I'm particularly interested in Zigbee because I've heard it does some...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers. The idea...

The next Access Europe User Group meeting will be on Wednesday 1 May 2024 starting at 18:00 UK time (6PM UTC+1) and finishing by 19:30 (7.30PM). In this session, we are pleased to welcome a new presenter, Adolph Dupré who will be discussing some powerful techniques for using class modules. He will explain when you may want to use classes instead of User Defined Types (UDT). For example, to manage the data in unbound forms. Adolph will...
