Body
copied!<p>I have a server application which uses two BackgroundWorkers:</p> <p>1) Used to constantly check if the SVN repository was updated.</p> <p>2) Used for managing a queue of processes.</p> <pre><code>BackgroundWorker revisionsWorker = new BackgroundWorker(); revisionsWorker.DoWork += (queueSender1, queueEvent1) => checkRevision(); revisionsWorker.RunWorkerAsync(); BackgroundWorker queueWorker = new BackgroundWorker(); queueWorker.DoWork += (queueSender2, queueEvent2) => manageComputersQueue(); queueWorker.RunWorkerAsync(); </code></pre> <p>When the SVN is updated, the function <code>checkRevision()</code> updates the local repository, runs some scripts, and compiles a solution using <code>devenv.com</code>. The <code>queueWorker</code> checks if the server is busy running the <code>checkRevision()</code>. If it's not busy, it runs the processes according to their place in the queue.</p> <p>My problem is that if the SVN was updated, and the <code>checkRevision()</code> is running (takes some time..) the <code>manageComputersQueue()</code> is not accessed at any time, until <code>checkRevision()</code> is finished.</p> <p>Meaning, I want the <code>manageComputersQueue()</code> to run always, and if the server is busy doing other tasks, it will notify the client that the server is currently busy. </p> <p>Is it possible that when 1 backgroundworker is doing some stuff, other backgroundworkers are waiting for it to finish even if they all run asynchronously? </p>
