Hi,
AFAIK the Thread class can be instantiated as long as you don't run out of very basic resources, such as virtual memory (maybe physical memory), and Windows handles. After all, when you look at Task Manager, Windows is running some 100 processes while "doing nothing", and most of these processes have several threads.
There are some limitations in other layers, some fixed, some variable; IIRC the maximum number of threads in the ThreadPool is fixed as the ThreadPool is used by .NET initialization code, hence it is created when a .NET process gets started but long before the user's code is running. And they did not provide a way to grow it.
Networking code often has limitations because it is deemed counterproductive to exceed a certain number, which probably is right most of the time, but would work against you in some situations, e.g. when you want to stress test a server with as few physical clients as possible.

The main purpose of this article is not to test ThreadPool class or its functionality. The only purpose of this application is to show how to adjust the max thread count of the ThreadPool class..
Maybe .Net has a max Thread count of 10?
From here[^]

I vaguely remember some low ThreadPool limits long ago (probably .NET 1.0) but that link IMO is way outdated. Since programmers often want threads that basically sit around waiting for something to happen (e.g. performing synchronous I/O rather than asynchronous, at the expense of extra stacks) Microsoft must have felt a need to dramatically increase the limit. As I mentioned in the other post, AFAIK it still officially is a constant due to very early instantiation of the ThreadPool, but in my experience a rather large one.

For worker threads in the thread pool the max value ( per processor ) changed from 25 to 250 as of CLR 2.0 SP1. The normal problem, however, is that after you have one thread per processor, the thread pool will only ever create one extra thread every half a second. So if you start off with 0 threads ( the default minimum ) on a 4-core box, in 10 seconds it will only ramp up to [ 4 + 10 * 2 ] = 24 threads.
This is why ASP.NET sets the minimum to 50 ( per processor ) by default.
BTW, I just checked in CLR 4.0 and it appears the limit has been raised to 4096 per processor!

Wow. great info.
I wasn't aware thread creation was throttled like that.
Did you get that from an official document somewhere?
Thanks.

Async or Overlapped I/O is the most efficient Socket I/O mechanism.
link[^]
The next step in scaling up the server is to use asynchronous I/O. Asynchronous I/O alleviates the need to create and manage threads. This leads to much simpler code and also is a more efficient I/O model. Asynchronous I/O utilizes callbacks to handle incoming data and connections, which means there are no lists to set up and scan and there is no need to create new worker threads to deal with the pending I/O.

But every recorder has to be a separate recorder and also it's very time critical to answer back the status specially for retrying the unsuccessful connection and things like this.
Do you think it's going to be a great difference in performance?
I have tested my recorder with 100 threads and I think I'm loosing some bytes compared to lower count of threads, do you think it's possible? or I'm just thinking that it happens?

1)How can i get the webcam resolution? not modify only obtain the resolution.
2) How can I print on the image from the webcam the time and the date?

Hi Guys. I have written a FileWatcher WindowsService which works fine. Now, I want to go a step further. I have written a Windows App that the guys are currently using to convert files with. I want to incorporate this into the WindowsService. What is the best way of doing this? Would it be adviseable for me to code the conversion stuff into the service in the FileSystemWatcher_Created Event? Is this even possible? I have searched and I can't find anything that would suggest that this is possible or how it can be done.
Has anybody done anything like this before? If yes how?
Thanks

I would write a second Service to do the conversion.
On my last job I had several Services; of which one ran reports of different types and another handled emailing the results to whoever needed them.
|
|
|
|
|
And how would I start or call this from withing the current service? Sorry for asking, this is the first time I'm dabbling in WindowsServices.

Thanks EliotA but my Service is working fine. It is processing the file once it has been picked up that the file has been created that i am after.

You could use .NET remoting and set up an IPC channel.
|
|
|
|
|
They would both be running all the time, they're Services.
In my case, I had the report runner insert a record to a database table telling the emailer what to do. On the next cycle, the emailer reads the record, sends the required emails, and (on success) deletes the record (on failure, the record gets marked as failed).

I'm creating a c# .net windows application using Visual Studio 2005. On one of my forms, I've save a new record/row to my database. On this form, it also has a Open File Dialog component, which opens a picture, so that I can save the picture to the database. The problem occurs whenever I use this image in other form, i get the error ; can not find image
but if i stop running and run the program there is no error

Chances are the image can be found, just not opened. If you use Image.FromFile, replace it with Image.FromStream, passing a FileStream object which represents the file. Don't forget to Dispose the FileStream when you're done
Alternatively, if the other form uses the image saved to the database, it may be a problem with your database access code; perhaps the image data only gets partially written?

i solve the problem by putting openfileDialog restoreDirectoy = true

Hello
I want to access peoplesoft from C#

In all seriousness though...I was looking into that a few years ago...it depends what you want to do.
You can go directly to the backend database if you just need to retrieve record data without the business logic. If you need/want the business logic, there is a web service interface you can use. Whether or not you have access to the web service configuration utility depends on whether the organization bought the appropriate modules.
EDIT: oh...and about the DLL...I don't know what that's from...it might be included in their SDK...to join the developer program and get access to the SDK was $50,000 when I spoke to them a few years ago.
