Greetings;
Newbie here, please forgive my ignorance of the vb.net
threading model.
I am developing a windows service which is driven by a
variable number of timers. All timers invoke the same
event handler, and each invocation sends a command to
another service. What are the threading considerations
given this scenario?
1. What happens in the main service if two timers fire at
virtually the same time? Should the timer event handler
spin off a new thread to command the downstream service?
2. What happens if the downstream service receives
additional commands before the original is done
processing? Should the downstream service spin off
threads to process as well?
TIA

Hi all
just a quick question. I have a windows service with a "Catalogue" class.
I would like to know: if i put two "ServiceTimer" objects in my service
1. Do they run in separate threads (i have never threaded before, so
excuse my ignorance)
2. If i have instances of the catalogue class in both those timers, will
there be an error?
for example, if Timer1 loops every 10 mins, and Timer2 loops every 3

Hi,
I've seen several articles about using System Timers in ASP.NET solutions,
specifically setting them up in Global.asax' Application_OnStart event.
I'm thinking about the scenario where I might need to carry out some
back-end processing without pausing the individual users' Session while that
process runs.
E.g. I might provide the ability for a user to upload a text file of job

Ok, I finally got my firewall opened up to view the msdn
chats, but too late for this particular discussion.
Is it necessary to multi-thread windows services when
commands received via the ServiceController.ExecuteCommand
() are received frequently, but processing time for that
command may be lengthy?

Hi all,
I set up a System.Timers.Time in my app. The code basically just updates
the screen, but since the processing performed is so CPU-intensive, I wanted
to make sure it gets updated regularly; like every 1.5 secs. or so. I only
ran into one issue - the MyTimer_Elapsed event handler was not updating the
screen correctly all the time, often leaving large chunks of the screen
un-painted for several seconds.
On a whim I decided to...

I have a Windows Service and it has one System.Timers.Timer that
fires every 500 milliseconds. Now I have noticed that there's a bug in
System.Timers.Timer when it's being used combined with Windows Service.
That is, the Timer won't fire again once it's stopped (Timer.Stop() or
Timer.Enabled = False) (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/842793/en-us).
Instead of using Threading.Timer, can I just have the code to run

I have a class that instantiates two Timer objects that fire at
different intervals. My class can be instantiated within a Windows
Form or from a Windows Service. Actions performed by one of the event
handlers may take longer than the interval for either of the timers,
so it's possible for multiple events to fire "simultaneously" and for
events to queue up. I'm attempting to get the timers to sync on some
reference type object, or use...
