Hi Everyone,

What is the best practice to use a telnet component in a multithreading application:
1. Call individual telnet component i.e. telnet1, telnet2 . . . telnet10, or
2. Calling a single telnet component i.e. telnet1 and use the ThreadPool.QueueUserWorkItem(new WaitCallback(“x” method), object) to start 10 threads.

Thanks,
xplorer2k

I would suggest you start worker threads and instantiate an instance of the Telnet class on each thread. Then you can do blocking send/receive calls until finished. Don't forget to close the connection before exiting each worker thread. Also, if you are updating the UI make sure you marshal back to the UI thread before doing so.

Thanks for using our products!

Thanks Mike,

On your comment "start worker threads and instantiate an instance of the Telnet class on each thread" -how could I determine when each of these threads have been completed? Is there a callback function that I could use to let me know when each of these threads have been completed?

Thanks again,

This would be a thread synchronization issue...there are many techniques you might use...they are fully documented in Visual Studio.

Thanks again Mike,

Could you please share a simple sample code with 2 threads that shows how to implement this type of scenarios?

Thanks,
