Hi
What I want to do is for using with a PDA, but I think it's a VB.NET
related question, so I ask it here.
It's simple, an user is working with the pda, and from while to while,
has to send data to a server via webservice.
As the process to the webservice can take many seconds, and the user
has to continue working, I thought to send the process in a diferent
thread, and warn the user when it has finished. The problem is that the
user can send other process to the webservice while the first is still
running. What I'm interested is in creating a queue of threads, and
don't let execute the next thread until the previous has finished.
Also I'm not interested in treating this with only SyncLock to prevent
two threads to enter the same time to the process, because I want to
execute the threads in the order I throw them, and I think that with
this only prevention, the threads can execute in the order the computer
determines...
Any idea?
Thanks

Jordi,
I like to use the Queue class with threads.
However you need in my opinion only one thread and let that access the queu.
You have than to synclock it, because your background worker is constantly
getting and cleaning the bottom of the queue, while your foreground worker
is filling that at the top (The representation from this text bottom top can
be visa versa what is not important). http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/lib...ons.queue.aspx
You can use more threads of course, however mostly is the result of that a
less easy to maintanance program while the result in throughput is than
almost nothing or even possible worse.
I hope this gives an idea,
Cor

It would probably be easier to use the built-in asynchronous way of
calling webservices - this handles the necessary background threading
for you. There's a topic in the help titled "Accessing an XML Web
Service Asynchronously in Managed Code" which should take you through
how to do this.

Thanks Cor,
I've implemented a class with a queue and an only thread as you
said,and some flags controling everything, and it works great!

Hi,
I am getting exception while poping item from queue, I am writing
messages coming from client in a queue in one thread and then in other
thread i am reading from queue and writing in file.
I have not implemented any syncronization between reading and
wrinting, just i checking size of queue, if it is not empty i am
reading from queue and wrting to file.

Hi.
The problem is a bit hard to explain.
I have a ServicedComponent method which runs a distributed transaction
consisting on a a MessageQueue reception and several database operations.
That ServicedComponent method is called from a pool of threads which get
blocked in the Receive method of the queue. At that moment there are as many
open transactions in the DTC as the number of threads in the pool. After 60
seconds of inactivity the...

I have a system in which I have a single thread that places data on a Queue.
Then I have one worker thread that waits until data is put on the thread and
dequeues the Queue and processes that information. Works just fine.
However, I possibly need 1..m worker threads that can act on the same piece
of data, i.e. when a dequeue happens on the Queue it can't be removed from
the Queue until all threads have used it. I've tried to come up...

One of the things I've struggled with from time to time is handling
events raised on different threads. For example, an object could be
listening to events from one or more objects running in different
threads besides itself. There is a concern for thread safety. There are
various ways of dealing with this. One way is to make the class thread
safe by putting in locks. But another way is to stream the events from
the various threads into a...

Hello,
I have a multithreaded windows NT service application (vb.net 2003) that I
am working on (my first one), which reads a message queue and creates
multiple threads to perform the processing for long running reports. When
the processing is complete it uses crystal reports to load a template file,
populate it, and then export it to a PDF.
It works fine so far....

I am working on a generic way to launch multiple similar processes (threads)
at once, but limit the number of threads running at any one time to a number
I set. As I understand it the following line makes a Queue "thread safe", so
I do not need to explicitly lock and unlock it when multiple threads are
working with it.

Hi,
I've been reading the online documentation for the System.Collections.Queue
object on how to implement a threadsafe Queue object.
I understand the basics, by using the wrapper returned by Synchronised
method, but I'm not sure how to implement it between 2 threads. Has anyone
got any suggestions or examples?
Thanks

I'd like to suggest adding a new operation
Queue.finish()
This puts a special sentinel object on the queue. The sentinel
travels through the queue like any other object, however, when
q.get() encounters the sentinel, it raises StopIteration instead
of returning the sentinel. It does not remove the sentinel from
the queue, so further calls to q.get also raise StopIteration.
That permits writing the typical "worker thread" as

I am trying to put up a queue (through a logging thread) so that all
worker threads can ask it to log messages. However, the problem I am
facing is that, well, the logging thread itself is running forever.
It does not know when it should exit. Any suggestion? None of the
worker threads knows for sure when the logging thread should exit
since they don't know what other worker threads are doing. I also try
