RE: Thread handle & synchronization

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Hi Jeffrey,

I want to creat custom thread pool so I can start next thread when some
active thread from pool goes sleep or finishes its execution - I can not
modify logic in threads which will be added to thread pool.
There has to be some way how to know that thread sleeps because Windows
switch execution to new thread when active thread fall asleep ... - or this
is not possible to find out in C# ?

Thank you.

Hi,

Can you tell me why do you want to wait on the thread handle? The thread
handle will only signal when the thread terminates. If this is what you
wanted to know, why don't you call Thread.Join() method to wait on the
thread object until the thread terminates?

Thread handle will not signal while enterring sleep state. Also, I do not
think there is any notification for Thread.Sleep(). I would recommend you
to use AutoResetEvent for this notification/synchronization task. That is,
you may set AutoResetEvent before calling Thread.Sleep(). This will notify
other threads of the Thread.Sleep() calling. Another solution is polling
the thread state as Pete stated.

Hope this helps.

Best regards,
Jeffrey Tan
