Hi,

Is there a way to resume, wakeup a Thread once you set it
to sleep? Compact Framework 2003.


Thank you
 
Have the thread wait on an event/time-out using WaitForSingleObject(). When
the time-out is set for four minutes, that will handle the periodic run.
When some other thread wants to release the waiting thread early, they can
SetEvent() (or whatever the actual P/Invoke call is, ModifyEvent() to pulse
the event, releasing the waiting thread once).

Couple of additional thoughts:

1) Use a smaller sleep interval and then use conditional logic to determine
whether you want to update the data or go back to sleep. (i.e. - instead
of sleeping for 4 mins and then updating, sleep for 1 and then either
update or go back to sleep).
2) You could also do something with events or lean on the ThreadPool class.
Setup a Timer with a callback that executes at your regular interval.
Then manually do something like QueuUserWorkItem to the same callback as
needed in between your regular interval. Just be sure you stay
thread-safe.

So is there any other way to do this? I want to run a
continues loop every so often (every 4 mins for example).
But once in a while I want to update the data and have
the loop execute immediatelly.
Right now I am just creating a new thread which is very
inefficient.
