Multiple threads in windows service

Question

I have windows project and one form which have timer for each 5 seconds.

It calls and processes methods from request named table time wise and condition wise.

But I have some methods types which takes too much time to respond and want those methods in separate thread. So that I can run those both request types in separate threads and syncs.

How can I do separate those both using thread -- multi async threads?

Answer 1

I recommend you look at the .NET 4.0 Task class. Firing full threads every time might be overkill. Tasks, together with timers use the underlying thread pool to execute work in parallel.

Using a Task is as simple as:

Task t = Task.Factory.StartNew(
       () => 
       {
           // task code here
       });

Answer 2

using System;
using System.Threading;

class Program
{
    static void Main()
    {
    Thread thread1 = new Thread(new ThreadStart(A));
    Thread thread2 = new Thread(new ThreadStart(B));
    thread1.Start();
    thread2.Start();
    thread1.Join();
    thread2.Join();
    }

    static void A()
    {
    Thread.Sleep(100);
    Console.WriteLine('A');
    }

    static void B()
    {
    Thread.Sleep(1000);
    Console.WriteLine('B');
    }
}
