Threading, Classes, Events?

I'm having problems intercepting events from a class running under multiple threads.

'------------- BEGIN CODE -----------

Public withevents Protocol as clsProtocol

....
.....
.....

dim t as Thread
For i = 0 to servers.count

Protocol = new clsProtocol(servers(i))
t = new Thread(AddressOf Protocol.Query)
t.start()
Thread.Sleep(0)

next i

.......
.....
.......

Private Sub Protocol_TimeOut(byref p as clsProtocol) Handles Protocol.TimeOut

....
....
.....
End Sub



'-------------------------------------------


Essentially the problem is that out of 3 server instances that raise the event only the last instance actually is caught by the handler. I have no idea why or how to work around this problem....

If this is a bit vague I can elaborate.

Cheers,

did you ever figure this out as i am having a similar issue

According to that code you only have one reference or one instance.

You only declared one instance at the top:

Public withevents Protocol as clsProtocol

And then you keep changing what it references by setting it to new instances:

Protocol = new clsProtocol(servers(i))

Try something like this instead:

VB Code:

Public Protocols as New ArrayList
 
.... 
.....
.....
 
For i = 0 to servers.count
 
Dim p As New clsProtocol(servers(i))
'Add protocol to list for removing handlers later
Protocols.Add(p)
'attach event
AddHandler p.TimeOut, AddressOf Protocol_TimeOut
Dim t As New Thread(AddressOf Protocol.Query)
t.start()
Thread.Sleep(0)
 
next i
 
.......
.....
.......
 
Private Sub Protocol_TimeOut(byVal p as clsProtocol)
   'handle event here
End Sub
 
Private Sub RemoveHandlers()
   'this should be called when you are done with that batch of protocol objects
   For Each o As Object In Protocols
      Dim p As Protocol=Ctype(o, clsProtocol)
      RemoveHandler p.TimeOut, AddressOf Protocol_TimeOut
      Protocols.Remove(o)
   Next
End Sub
