Hi,
Currently I have a thread thats spinning and doing a
Thread.Sleep(so meTime).
I was thinking of changing this to Thread.Sleep(Ti meout.Infinite) ; then
when I have actual data in a collection to process in this thread, I was
going to do a _thread.Interru pt(); Would this be a better approach to
spinning a thread on ?

A better approach still would be to use Monitor.Wait and Monitor.Pulse.

You can use the Q.Sychronized wrapper and not have to use lock(q) blah
The only time u need to use the lock(q) is when you are using IEnumerator as
its intrisincally blah cant spell not thread safe.
So the simpler approach in a code base would be to sleep infinte and then
interrupt that.

IF you need to use lock on a colleciton object you use the SynRoot. Why
bother with all that Monitor stuff and lock when you dont need to?

I dont want it to be spinning all the time at 100% CPU, i want it to rest
then once its interrupted, to start to spin a predefined cycle rate using
Sleep(blah) then once its empty, to go infinite again.

You're right that the Thread.Interrup t() approach is better than a
Thread.Sleep(so meTime) loop. The only thing is that as I'm sure you know,
Thread.Interrup t() causes an exception to be thrown on the specified
thread... not really a problem if you catch it, but from what I read,
throwing/catching exceptions over and over again is a somewhat expensive and
inefficient thing to do.
Perhaps try a more traditional approach: Create an AutoResetEvent object
and have your worker thread call Wait() against that event object. The
thread then goes to Sleep (0% CPU utilization) until the event is "signaled"
by another thread. So when your program determines that there is work to be
done, it signals the event (see AutoResetEvent. Set()) and your worker thread
instantly "wakes up" to do its thing.

A fair time - why?
I'm suggesting Monitor.Wait/Pulse because they (along with
Manual/AutoResetEvents ) are specifically designed for exactly this kind
of thing.

Longer than that.

*Started* to write stuff using threads? About 9 years ago, when I first
started writing Java. Started thinking seriously about it and really
examining things carefully? About 4 years ago.
Again I ask: why do you want to know?

Hi all,
I've got a server that handles a relatively high number of concurrent
transactions (on the magnitude of 1000's per second). Client
applications establish socket connections with the server. Data is
sent and received over these connections using the asynchronous model.
The server is currently in beta testing. Sporadically over the course
of the day, I'll observe the thread count on the process (via perfmon)
start climbing....

According to the docs, calling Thread.Sleep(0) causes the thread to be
"suspended to allow other waiting threads to execute."
What happens if I call Thread.Sleep(500)? Do other threads not get a
chance to execute during this time? What is the difference between the
two?
I have code that runs in a loop like this:

Hi,
I hope someone can help. I have written a simple form to demonstrate
my problem/question. The code follows.
The form starts a thread, which using delegates updates a label (Every
second adds another dot to the label). This works great. However,
when I put the GUI thread to sleep (Thread.Sleep), the thread seems to
stall. At first I was expecting dots to still appear, but obviously as
the GUI thread is asleep, they will not. ...

I've got a routine that builds a table using different queries, different SQL
Tables, and adding custom fields.
It takes a while to run (20 - 45 seconds) so I wrote a thread to handle the
table population.
Whenever I call the thread, I pass it a structure containing the table and a
few other parameters. The table goes in as a reference, but the other items
are passed normally.

Hi All,
I've been trying to come up with a good way to run a certain process
at a timed interval (say every 5 mins) using the SLEEP command and a
semaphore flag. The basic thread loop was always sitting in the sleep
command and not able to be interrupted. When the time came to set the
semaphore flag to false (stopping the thread), my program would have
to wait up to the entire sleep time to break out of the loop.
