I have an application that loops through a dataset and retrieves /
updates information in rows that meet certain criteria. When the end
user clicks a button, the dataset is then merged with the database. I
would like to make the merge process run in the background so that no
user interaction is required. I can make the background thread run
and update the dataset just fine. My questions are, can 2 threads
loop through a dataset at the same time? Can my background process
create a copy of the database and then merge the copy? Can my
background process download a new set of data and copy it over the
current dataset?
Any help is much appreciated.

Yes, but you'll have to deal with concurrency issues. If two threads are
updating the data, which thread takes precendence? What if two threads
updating the same field at the same time?

How large is your database? What sort of updates are you applying?
Can my
background process download a new set of data and copy it over the
current dataset?
Yes, but you'll need to deal with concurrency issues.

Thanks for the reply. The dataset is small, say around 2000 rows, 6
columns, max. The UI searches for a specific row every few seconds
and updates a boolean value. The background task loops through the
dataset at a set interval and updates the database by calling
SqlCommand.Exec uteNonQuery on the rows that have been affected. Once
all affected rows have been updated, it creates a new dataset and then
copies over the original.
The only problem with this approach would be if the UI updates the
dataset after the merge completes, but before the new data is copied
down from the database. Basically I would lose that data.

Datasets provide events for changed rows/columns/cells. Perhaps you can
hook into these events to act on the changes rather than polling on the
dataset?

You'll need to do some synclocking to prevent concurrency issues. This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics | |

When multi-threading (native system threads) it is possible that

We are tyring to build a DLL which will write the log data to a text file.
Multiple executables should use this dll to write data to same text file. We

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.

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,...
