PODoes the ThreadPool reset the maximum threads after the code that sets it finishes? Should I manually do this?

    <p>I have written some (c# 3.5) batch processing code that can optionally override the thread pool maxthreads. It uses some pretty heavy resources that are not thread-safe, requiring a "resource pool" to be maintained with an item for each active thread. The consuming application can set a limit on how many threads the batch processor will use, which in turn calls <code>ThreadPool.SetMaxThreads()</code>. I'm doing this to test if manually setting a limit averages better performance than leaving it at the default setting.</p> <p>My question is, should I reset the maxthreads back to the previous value for the application after each use of the batch processing code? It will be called intermittently throughout the day, possibly thousands of times. Will the MaxThreads limit persist forever until the application is restarted / it is set to a different value, or will it automatically reset? </p> <p>While this isn't really a concern in my test harness, I'm wondering if I should update the code to "reset" the threadpool when the other resources are disposed after a batch completes for use in a production environment. Are there any implications to just leaving it overridden?</p> <p>Finally, does setting the threadpool in one .net application set it for ALL applications on the box, or only for the context of that single app?</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
