C# - Set Thread As Background Or Not
Jan 2, 2011
I need an explanation regarding some advice I got on this site. I'm doing a newsletter sending app, and I have my mail sent in a seperate thread so the process doesn't slow down the whole web site. A couple of people advised me to set the threads IsBackground property to true. I did this, but was also courious about what this does, so I googled a bit.
As it turns out, setting the IsBackground property to true indicates that "it's okay if the process shuts down while this thread is still running.". Or as microsoft puts it "Any remaining background threads are stopped and do not complete." I don't know if I got this the wrong way but, wouldn't it be better to leave the IsBackground property to false, so that the spawned thread can complete its work regarding the main thread?

The following code is part of a WCF service. Will eventWatcher take up a thread in the ASP .NET thread pool, even if it is set IsBackground = true?

In my website, I am using thread to perform a repetitive process in background. Now the process takes around 30 to 45 seconds to update the database.
Basically the function performs the following:
1) Download the CSV from a website.
2) Parse the CSV and update the database tables.
I want to optimize the performance and decrease the time it takes to 15 seconds.
How can I do this?
EDIT:
Here is the Code:

Bit of a long shot, but is there a way in ASP.NET to dynamically get the website's URL [URL] when there is no HttpContext.Current available.
There is no HttpContext because the code is running in a background thread* (but under the ASP.NET AppDomain). I have a background process that sends emails out every evening, and needs to include the Web address, but I don't want to hard code it because of deployments and testing (it changes from [URL] to[URL] and then to [URL] for the live site).

I have a thread running in the background that will sleep and pull data from the database when something wakes it up. I am sending the emails using google apps using SmtpClient (code below).
I wanted to know if there is anything i be aware of? I plan to send only one email at a time (a registration or forgot password email). I am a little worried something can happen like an invalid email locking up the thread because i didnt set a timeout or maybe google apps happen to be done and causing the app to blow up. What should i be aware off? I should ask how i should test as well?

I was reading Walkthrough: Creating an Asynchronous HTTP Handler and noticed they pass the HttpContext from the handler thread and use it in a WaitCallback which runs on a background thread. It makes calls like _context.Response.Write(). Am I correct in assuming that this doesn't violate the fact that HttpContext is not thread safe because the handler thread will not be using it after the async work has started?
Also, Using an HTTPContext across threads has some good information about HttpContext and threads. Is all of HttpContext not thread safe, or just items like Response? Can multiple background threads access the Items property, if only in read mode?

In my website I am using thread to perform the function which downloads the CSV from a website and parses the data into the database.
Now if I am not able to stop the thread then what could be the impact on the performance?
Also If I unknowingly start another thread then would it impact my website's performance?

In my app I am using the open xml sdk to generate a word document and write the file to the response.output stream for the user to download.
At the time that the letter is generated I also need to call a SP via linq data context to update a row in my db.
I think that I need to execute this SP in a seperate thread so that I can simultaneouly write the file to the output. my method looks like this...
protected void btnPrint_Click(object sender, EventArge e)
{
//call sp to update
//create letter and send to client
}
Is this feasible or should I avoid seperate threads?

I have a problem with a Model Popup Extender that monitoring a background thread.
I need to give feedback to the user about tasks that happend in the server side.
So searching on internet this give me a solution [URL]
Launch a thread, passing the Session variable, update a flag and a mesage and show the info in the web with a timer.
almost all, is fine, in one server (sadly, close to production) after the task (and thread) is completed, the Session variable is set to null and the user is redirected to a "Session Expired" Page.
[code].....
I noticed that this is a very slow server and some websites are very slow.
Session is managed with cookies and the timeout is set to 30 min.

I have an asp.net application with a background thread. The thread starts when the application starts and it is gracefully stopped when the application ends. I am running the website on a shared host. Unfortunately sometimes the application does not trigger the Application_End event when it ends. I would think that the threads would be killed anyway, but that's not the case. I currently have 4 threads running in the background. Three from previous times the application started and 1 from the current application session. How can I ensure that the threads are shutdown when the application ends? Is there a way for the threads to check if the application was reset or had been reset? Or is there a way to check for these rogue threads at application startup and kill them?

I'm new to threading and have used it successfully, but limited. I can spawn a thread and have the main thread reference variables in the spawned thread, but I don't know how to allow the spawned thread to reference (and update) variables in the main thread.
Any example threading code I've seen on the web appears to be WAY more complicated than what I do, so I am unable to understand or integrate into my code.
Here is a quick example of how I use threading:

I am reading the Asp.net security documentation on msdn.I come across these tow terms and get really confused.
# WindowsIdentity = WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent()
which returns the identity of the security context of the currently executing Win32 thread.
# Thread = Thread.CurrentPrincipal
which returns the principal of the currently executing .NET thread which rides on top of the Win32 thread.

I have a password page and when someone enters an incorrect password I want to simply foil a brute force attack by having
bool isGoodPassword = (password == expected_password);
lock (this)
{
if (!isGoodPassword)
Thread.Sleep(2000);
}
I would expect that this would allow all correct passwords without stalling, but if one user enters a bad password another successful password from a different user would also be blocked. However, the lock doesn't seem to lock across ASP.NET threads.

So basically here I am trying to wait for my server to connect to my website signaling it that its done and so the page needs to be refreshed(cause sql was updated). Thing is when I try to use the response/request in the thread it simply doesn't want to work.
Here the code
Code:

Errors I am getting are:
1. If I have the headers clear thing there it gives requires integrated IIS pipes or something like that.
2.If I don't have the clear headers it says the headers were already sent.

I am executing time consuming task in a new thread. ParameterizedThreadStart pts = new ParameterizedThreadStart(WorkingFoo); Thread thread = new Thread(pts);
The WorkingFoo executing the task and keeps track of the progress steps (it can return the total number of "steps" and the current step).
I want to display this information in a progress bar (simple div or ajax control, I don't mind).
I don't want, ofcourse, visually refresh the page that will display the progress. Also I want to reduce as much as possible the number of postbacks. So how do I do that? How to show the current progress from new thread on the web page? Also the page that shows the progress can be closed and re-opned and still get the current status.

I have a thread that runs querying a DB and returning some values. If this values satisfyes a condition, I want to raise a message box (javascript alert) for the client side.
In my system, users can post some tasks in DB, and the thread is going to constantly query the database to check if user has things to do. If user has, the system must alert him through a message box.
I've done javascripts invokings with ClientScript.RegisterStartupScript, and Attributes.Add for buttons. But now I want to call the javascript functions (wich will alert the user that he has things to do) from the midle of a sub (that is executed in a thread), without a submit, load or click event. How can I do it?

I'm developing an ASP.NET forms webapplication using C#. I have a method which creates a new Order for a customer. It looks similar to this;
private string CreateOrder(string userName) {
// Fetch current order
Order order = FetchOrder(userName);[code]....
The problem here is, it is possible that 1 customer in two requests (threads) could cause this method to be called twice while another thread is also inside this method. This can cause two orders to be created.
How can I properly lock this method, so it can only be executed by one thread at a time per customer?
I tried;
Mutex mutex = null;
private string CreateOrder(string userName) {
if (mutex == null) { [code]....
This works, but on some occasions it hangs on WaitOne and I don't know why. Is there an error, or should I use another method to lock?
