SetMinThreads Call returns true, but does not change value

[Tim Begin]

I am attempting to use the ThreadPool.SetMinThreads method as shown in the MSDN example code:
int minWorker, minIOPort;
int newWorker,newIOPort;

ThreadPool.GetAvailableThreads(out minWorker, out minIOPort);
bool flag = ThreadPool.SetMinThreads(4, minIOPort);
ThreadPool.GetAvailableThreads(out newWorker, out newIOPort);

After running this flag is true, but the worker value is still set to 25.
I am using .Net 1.1.4322 and this call was suppoesly added to address this situation.

TIA,
Tim

Hi,

ThreadPool.SetMinThreads sets the number of idle threads the ThreadPool
maintains in anticipation of new requests, while
ThreadPool.GetAvailableThreads get the current available threads number
between max threads and current active threads. So SetMinThreads will not
effect the return value of GetAvailableThreads.
SetMinThreads is introduced to increase the performance of your application.
For how to use GetAvailableThreads sample, please refer to:

Hope this helps,
Best regards,
