    <p>I have a fairly complex multi-threaded Windows service working, but I can't figure out how to clean up correctly. Below is some [pseudo] code to show what I have. The actual code is much more complex, probably too much to copy/paste here.</p> <p>Basically, I have a class Request that creates a thread to do the work. When a new request comes in the Listener, it sends it to the Processor, which creates the new Request and maintains the list of requests. If the service is stopped, I cleanup all the requests in the list. But when the Request work is done, how do I clean up that one instance of the class?</p> <p>Thanks for any help!</p> <p>Nelson</p> <pre><code>class Service { Listener listener; Processor processor; OnStart() { processor = new Processor(); listener = new Listener(processor); } OnStop() { listener.Dispose(); processor.Dispose(); } } class Listener { Thread thread; bool terminate = false; Listener(Processor processor) { thread = new Thread(DoWork); thread.Start(processor); } DoWork(Processor processor) { WaitForConnection(NewConnection); } NewConnection(String data) { processor.NewRequest(data); if (terminate) return; WaitForConnection(NewConnection); } Dispose() { terminate = true; thread.Join(); } } class Processor { //I need to maintain this list so that when the service stops I can cleanly close down List&lt;Request&gt; requests = new List&lt;Request&gt;(); NewRequest(string data) { request.Add(new Request(data)); } Dispose() { //Cleanup each request foreach (Request request in requests) { request.Dispose(); } } } class Request { Thread thread; bool terminate; Request(string data) { while (true) { //Do some work Thread.Sleep(1000); if (doneWorking) break; if (terminate) return; } //We're done. If I return this thread stops. But how do I properly remove this Request instance from the Processor.requests list? } Dispose() { terminate = true; thread.Join(); } } </code></pre>

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.
