Problem with increasing threads when communicating with UDP Socket

I have written an application using VB.Net 2003 which contains a single timer
control (Interval set to 5 seconds) and a function which uses the
BeginReceiveFro m Socket function.

The problem I am having is that everytime the timer runs and calls the
function which sends and receives data through the UDP protocol, it increases
the systems thread count by 1.

After the software running for around 1 hour windows cracks it as I am using
too many threads.

Does anybody know why this is happening and hope I can stop it??

CODE:

Public Sub UDPTest()

' Create endpoint
remoteIpEndPoin t = New System.Net.IPEn dPoint(System.N et.IÂ*
PAddress.Parse( '192.168.10.200 '), Â* 100)

' Create a UDP scoket for sending data
udpSocket = New Socket(AddressF amily.InterNetw ork,Â* SocketType.Dgra m,
ProtocolType.Ud p)

' Connect UDP Socket to device
udpSocket.Conne ct(remoteIpEnÂ* dPoint)

' Check if writeable then send data request to device
If udpSocket.Poll(-1, SelectMode.Sele ctWrite) Then
udpSocket.Send( sendBytes, sendBytes.Lengt h, SocketFlags.Non e)
End If

udpSocket.Begin ReceiveFrom(bÂ* ytes, 0, bytes.Length, SocketFlags.Non e,
remoteIpEndPoin t, New AsyncCallback(A ddressOf OnReceive), Nothing)

Console.Write(E ncoding.ASCIIÂ* .GetString(byte s))

End Sub

Public Sub OnReceive(ByVal ar As IAsyncResult)
On Error GoTo ErrorHandle
Dim iBytes As Integer = udpSocket.EndRe ceiveFrom(ar, remoteIpEndPoin t)
ErrorHandle:
End Sub

Hi, I have several threads communicating with each other using events stored in Queues. Threads block on Queue.get() until somebody publishes an event in thread's event queue. I need to add support for sockets to the system. Thread needs to unblock when: - there is socket ready to be read, or

Hi, I have a problem with threads and sockets. I'll try to describe the problem in words with pseudo-code. I've been working on a few classes to make it easier to work with threads. This framework, let us call it that, consists in two parts. The first part is just a basic thread class deriving from threading.Thread with a few extra functionality that makes it easier for a thread to spawn a new thread and "father it". Each of its

Any new threads created afterward will grab new memory on top of where the previous left off. This is a...

Hi I have to write a multi-threaded program. I decided to take an OO approach to it. I had the idea to wrap up all of the thread functions in a mix-in class called Threadable. Then when an object should run in its own thread, it should implement this mix-in class. Does this sound like plausible design decision? I'm surprised that C++ doesn't have such functionality, say in its STL. This absence of a thread/object relationship 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,...
