Multi-threading with .Net HttpListener

Question

I have a listener:

listener = new HttpListener();
listener.Prefixes.Add(@\"http://+:8077/\");
listener.Start();
listenerThread = new Thread(HandleRequests);
         


        

Answer 1

I have consulted my code in EDIT part of my question and I've decided to accept it with some modifications:

public void Stop() 
{
    lock (locker)
    {
        isStopping = true;
    }
    resetEvent.WaitOne(); //initially set to true
    listener.Stop();
}

private void ListenerCallback(IAsyncResult ar)
{
    lock (locker) //locking on this is a bad idea, but I forget about it before
    {
        if (isStopping)
            return;

        resetEvent.Reset();
        numberOfRequests++;
    }

    try
    {
        var listener = ar.AsyncState as HttpListener;

        var context = listener.EndGetContext(ar);

        //do some stuff
    }
    finally //to make sure that bellow code will be executed
    {
        lock (locker)
        {
            if (--numberOfRequests == 0)
                resetEvent.Set();
        }
    }
}
