Wait for all ThreadPool workers to complete

[Michael D. Ober]

I have an application that needs to limit the number of simultaneous threads
that are executing at any given time. The threadpool appears to be ideal
for this. However, I need to have my Sub Main wait until all queued workers
are complete. Is there anyway to do this short of polling a counter?

Thanks,
Mike Ober.

Sounds like time to write my own thread/connection pool for the server. The
problem is that too many processor intensive threads on the server and it
bogs down.

Thanks,
Mike.

Hello, Michael!

You can limit ThreadPool worker thread count.
Or if your server uses sockets you can use async io, like
BeginXXX/EndXXX

If youre using 2.0 you can limit the total used threads on the ThreadPool.

1.1... there isn't something built in.

I've scoured the internet looking for something like that.

Maybe look at this:

My server is written in VMS Basic, which requires a separate process for
each connection. It's those processes I have to manage from the client
side.

and I thought thread per process was unscalable

It appears to scale just fine on VMS.
