writing multithread applications in dotnet 2.0?

[Elhanan]

hi..

we are planning to do a file distibution system in dotnet 2.0 (the
system will recieve request for file transfers from one legacy system
to another using connect direct api, the execution of the file transfer
itself will be multi-threaded.

are there any differences between 1.1 and 2.0 in regards to 2.0?

we were thinking about placing the thing in a windows service, are
there any do's and don'ts in windows service i'll need to know about
(database access, multi-threads etc..)?

In what aspect of 2.0 you're interested? 1.1 and 2.0 have a lot of differences...

It depends what you want to do, from with windows service. Regarding,
"(database access, multi-threads etc..)" there no limitations.

take 2.0, cuz it has more extended functionality then 1.1

take into account that services works in separate context, they starts before
user login (no ui interactions) and system account uder
service starts might have no access to the network

i'm interested in aspects of multithreading functions, are there any
improvments. (java threading seems easier..)

can i actually use update delete databases from within a windows
service? i've heard that all services leave under the same memory
context any taxing one with intensive work might create a problem for
all.

In what way is Java threading easier? .NET threading is pretty much the
same as Java threading in many respects, except that to my mind
delegates make .NET somewhat easier. Java 5 provides more utilities for
threading, but the basics are pretty much the same.

Absolutely.

No, services each run under their own process. Of course, any CPU time
you use in one service isn't available to the others - but that's true
of any process.
