What is maximum time thread can be run?

archana

Hi all,

i want to develop one windows service wherein i want to run task
continuously after certain interval.

So what i did is i created one thread and in that thread i have written
one endless loop.

In this loop after processing is completed i call sleep method to wait
for some amount of time.

Is there any harm in this logic? Is there any maximum limit set for
thread to run. If i run this thread say for 20-30 days will it create
any problem?.

Please correct me if i am wrong.

thanks in advance.

I would probably write a small console application to do the task then
schedule it in windows scheduler .. less voerhead when not running and no
need to re-invent the wheel.

There is no such limitation, and no harm with that logic.

There is no inherent limit to how long a thread can run, no.

Your own code may impose limits, in the form of counters or other limited
data structures, but those issues would be readily apparent to you (or they
should be, anyway :) ).
