POThread Pool of workers in a Window service?
text
Body
copied!<p>I'm creating a Windows service with 2 separate components: 1 component creates jobs and inserts them to the database (1 thread) The 2nd component processes these jobs (multiple FIXED # of threads in a thread pool)</p> <p>These 2 components will always run as long as the service is running.</p> <p>What I'm stuck on is determining how to implement this thread pool. I've done some research, and there seems to be many ways of doing this such as creating a class that overriddes the method "ThreadPoolCallback", and using ThreadPool.QueueUserWorkItem to queue a work item. <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/3dasc8as.aspx" rel="nofollow">http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/3dasc8as.aspx</a></p> <p>However in the example given, it doesn't seem to fit my scenario. I want to create a FIXED number of threads in a thread pool initially. Then feed it jobs to process. How do I do this?</p> <p>// Wrapper method for use with thread pool. </p> <pre><code>public void ThreadPoolCallback(Object threadContext) { int threadIndex = (int)threadContext; Console.WriteLine("thread {0} started...", threadIndex); _fibOfN = Calculate(_n); Console.WriteLine("thread {0} result calculated...", threadIndex); _doneEvent.Set(); } Fibonacci[] fibArray = new Fibonacci[FibonacciCalculations]; const int FibonacciCalculations = 10; for (int i = 0; i < FibonacciCalculations; i++) { ThreadPool.QueueUserWorkItem(f.ThreadPoolCallback, i); } </code></pre>
