Asynchronous operations

Reading about asynchronous programming
(ms-help://MS.NETFramework SDK/cpguidenf/html/cpconasynchrono usdesignpattern o
verview.htm) I could not clarify some doubts. Hope you can help me.

1) Are asynchronous programming and multithreaded programming two different
pictures? As I read the help topic above it is not clear to me if the design
pattern opens a new thread or not to run the methods asynchronously.

2) One unique thread can run methods asynchronously?

Thank you.

Julian,
1) Are asynchronous programming and multithreaded programming two different pictures? As I read the help topic above it is not clear to me if the design pattern opens a new thread or not to run the methods asynchronously. Asynchronous programming uses a thread from the thread pool for each
request. The thread pool only uses about 25 threads (I understand the number
may be processor & OS specific), so no more then about 25 asynchronous
requests can be handled simultaneously. Any request over the 25th
asynchronous requests would wait for a free thread in the thread pool. I
also understand that IO asynchronous requests may have their own "thread
pool", however I do not have specifics on that...
2) One unique thread can run methods asynchronously? A single thread in the thread pool may handle multiple asynchronous requests
consecutively.

Hope this helps

Hi all, I have hit a serious snag ... I am writing an app server. I am happy with pythons threading etc however I am totally confused with handling large request on a socket. For example I can create a threadingTCPServer, the script that calls the app server might send a file or an xml request. Where I am stuck is how do you handle large files ? for example:

Hi all I've written a asynchronous socket client class, but i've found that in order to consume it I have to use events, and cannot simply for example SocketClient client = new SocketClient(110, "some.server.com") client.Connect() client.SendData("Hello World") Instead I have to wait for the async method to raise a Connected event, and call client.SendData from there, for complex chains of operations this because a nightmare chain of...

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....

Hi, I'm suffering a socket race condition - I think. The code works fine at full speed on a single CPU machine. However when I run full speed on a 2 Zeon machine the socket drops data on an asynchronous receive. If I slow a connected client down by step debugging or putting Thread.Sleep() calls between sends then the code works on the Zeon machine. Below is pseudo code that removes all error checking, try catch, business logic, and...

Hi I have 2 operations to perform one is to upload data and the second is to generate report. Both take huge time(more than 20 mins and I believe by that time session would have expired) and hence has to be done asynchronously. For uploading data, user will click start button and the asynchronous operation has to start immediately.

Hi, I have a stored procedure that I want to execute and then wait in a loop showing a timer whilst it completes and then carry on once I get notification that it has completed. The main reason for this being to stop the user thinking the application has frozen when in fact it is just waiting for a long SP to complete. Another reason for doing it like this is that I also have had a problem in the past where the SP takes longer than the...

I'm using HttpWebRequest. It seems that all the callback called from HttpWebRequest are in another thread (not in the "original" thread). Now my problem is that the "original" thread is the thread that maintains the interface (the forms). I want to signal from the "worker" thread to the main thread that I've finished downloading the page. How should I do? I can't simply wait for the end of the thread as in this...

Hi, I'm trying to implement an asynchronous scheduler for asyncore to call functions at a later time without blocking the main loop. The logic behind it consists in: - adding the scheduled functions into a heapified list - calling a "scheduler" function at every loop which checks the scheduled functions due to expire soonest Note that, by using a heap, the first element of the list is always

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

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,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers. The idea...
