Here's the thread pool test I put together earlier. It queues up 500
items and they run and report when they start and finish. See how it
ramps up to 25 or 50 active threads (depending on number of
processors) and then at end slows back down to 0 active threads.

I am not using a thread pool. what i am doing is
windows Form
tab control
tab 1
windows control file uploader
Thread 1 upload files a
thread 2 upload files b
thread 3 upload files c
tab 2
windows control file uploader
Thread 1 upload files a
thread 2 upload files b
thread 3 upload files c
tab 3
windows control file uploader
Thread 1 upload files a
thread 2 upload files b
thread 3 upload files c
on tab 1 2 and 3 there is a addfiles button.
on click of that button i say
thd = new system.threading.thread(addressof sub)
thd2 = new system.threading.thread(addressof sub)
thd3 = new system.threading.thread(addressof sub)
so on tab1 tab 2 and tab 3 when files uploading there should be a total of 9
threads started and running. plus the 1 for the application it self. so 10
total threads
I dont need an answer here I have changed how my code works. but if you
could post your threadpool sample code that would be great.
I fixed the problem by taking off all tabs but 1 and making it a que update.
So i have a tmr watching a collection of items. if it has any it will start
3 threads and do the work.
Thanks

By default there are 25 threads per processor.
How are you using the thread-pool threads? When you use
QueueUserWorkItem if there are not enough threads then the item just
get queued until a thread becomes available. I've queued up thousands
of items (for a test, not production app) to demonstrate to a
colleague how the thread pool worked (he was scared of it).
If you're using the thread pool to generate a thread and then keep
that thread around, then you should not be using thread pool threads
and should just be creating your own threads. Then the only limit is
based on available resources.

Hello
Working with system.threading.thread
Ok
I have an windows user control. It has 3 thread on it
thread 1 uploaded files types a
thread 2 upload files types b
thread 3 upload files types c
this all happens at same time Works great
Now i put a tab control on my form
i create 5 instances of my windows user control.
which allows me to have 5 different controls working at the same time
Now i start all controls to upload. after each upload the thread sleeps
depending on which tab it is on. There was a speed issue with the
application moving faster then the upload so I had to pause the thread
So My Problem is
system.invalidoperationexecption
there were not enough free threads in the threadpool
question 1:
how meny threads do you get to work with
question 2:
can you change the max number of threads in the pool
Thanks
