  1. VS 2010 Re: SyncLock protecting thread counter

    Quick update on this - it turned out there is no bug at all! I got incorrect information from the end user, and after adding a lot of additional debug logging to the program and getting the logs back...
  2. VS 2010 Re: SyncLock protecting thread counter

    I guess that could work, and use the ConcurrentQueue that someone mentioned earlier so there are no issues. That would require something different for the first 10 computers though wouldn't it...
  3. VS 2010 Re: SyncLock protecting thread counter

    Thanks and yeah I did actually realise that just before you posted, and changed my code to suit. However, this doesn't seem to have fixed the bug and I also tried changing WaitOne to use the...
  4. VS 2010 Re: SyncLock protecting thread counter

    I just realised that Interlocked.Increment actually returns the updated value... every example I've ever seen of it just uses it on its own to update the integer you pass in to it by reference,...
  5. VS 2010 Re: SyncLock protecting thread counter

    If I check the value of GetMaxThreads on my PC it gives me 1023, which is way more threads than I want to be allowed. I don't really want to call ThreadPool.SetMaxThreads and set that to whatever the...
  6. VS 2010 [RESOLVED] SyncLock protecting thread counter

    I've got an option in one of my programs to limit the number of threads that get used when the program loops through a list of computers to perform queries against them - I don't want to just use...

    VS 2010 Re: Using multi threading with copy

    I'd do it something like this:


    Module Module1

    Const dirTarget As String = "C:\Temp\target\"
    Const dirSource As String = "C:\Temp\source\"

    Sub Main()

    VS 2010 Re: Using multi threading with copy

    Your code is only going to perform one of those tasks at a time because it will stop and wait on Thread1.Join() for that task to finish, before it moves on to the next task. So you are gaining no...
  9. VS 2010 Validate that network data came from my program

    I'm considering building a client/server system where the client running on workstation PCs in a network would need to send data to a central server in a secure way. When I say secure, I don't mean...
  10. VS 2010 Re: How to use Paralell.ForEach with a SearchResultCollection

    I didn't know about that Cast extension method but yeah that is better than my extension method in post #10 as it doesn't need to create a new list at all. So you're right, the simplest way would be...
  11. VS 2010 Re: How to use Paralell.ForEach with a SearchResultCollection

    I've had option strict turned on for the last 3 years at least and never had an issue, and I know most people on these forums have it turned on as well. There have been many threads about it. It...
  12. VS 2010 Re: How to use Paralell.ForEach with a SearchResultCollection

    That's fair enough but you didn't just provide a slimmed down version - you specifically asked why I did it the way I did:



    Which is why I answered explaining why I did it that way and not...
  13. VS 2010 Re: How to use Paralell.ForEach with a SearchResultCollection

    lol so you base the code you use on how easy it is to write rather than how well it performs or how reliable it is? I agree you shouldn't make things overly complex if it can be avoided but in this...
  14. VS 2010 Re: How to use Paralell.ForEach with a SearchResultCollection

    That's not actually any different at all... you're just writing the method in line rather than as a separate method. Its still the exact same thing that is happening.

    Why does converting it so...
  15. VS 2010 Re: How to use Paralell.ForEach with a SearchResultCollection

    Because you have no choice in creating a SearchResultCollection - that is what the FindAll method returns. You can't do a Parallel For Each through that though, which is exactly why the OP posted...
  16. Re: Get all members of an Active Directory group or local group

    Well it depends what you've got in your listbox items. If I remember rightly the string you need to pass in to the Add method is the distinguished name (aka LDAP path) of the member you want to add...
  17. Re: Get all members of an Active Directory group or local group

    Also, I've just updated the original post in this thread to clean up the code...

    Don't put the entire thing at class level, I just meant the Boolean variable I was talking about. You still need everything else in your timer tick event.
