QueueUserWorkItem(WaitCallback)

Source:: ThreadPoolWorkQueue.cs

Source:: ThreadPoolWorkQueue.cs

Source:: ThreadPoolWorkQueue.cs

Queues a method for execution. The method executes when a thread pool thread becomes available.

public:
 static bool QueueUserWorkItem(System::Threading::WaitCallback ^ callBack);

public static bool QueueUserWorkItem (System.Threading.WaitCallback callBack);

static member QueueUserWorkItem : System.Threading.WaitCallback -> bool

Public Shared Function QueueUserWorkItem (callBack As WaitCallback) As Boolean

Parameters

callBack: WaitCallback

A WaitCallback that represents the method to be executed.

Returns

Boolean

true if the method is successfully queued; NotSupportedException is thrown if the work item could not be queued.

Exceptions

ArgumentNullException

callBack is null.

NotSupportedException

The common language runtime (CLR) is hosted, and the host does not support this action.

Examples

The following example uses the QueueUserWorkItem(WaitCallback) method overload to queue a task, which is represented by the ThreadProc method, to execute when a thread becomes available. No task information is supplied with this overload. Therefore, the information that is available to the ThreadProc method is limited to the object the method belongs to.

using namespace System;
using namespace System::Threading;

ref class Example
{
public:

   // This thread procedure performs the task.
   static void ThreadProc(Object^ stateInfo)
   {
      
      // No state object was passed to QueueUserWorkItem, so stateInfo is 0.
      Console::WriteLine( "Hello from the thread pool." );
   }
};

int main()
{
   // Queue the task.
   ThreadPool::QueueUserWorkItem(gcnew WaitCallback(Example::ThreadProc));

   Console::WriteLine("Main thread does some work, then sleeps.");
   
   Thread::Sleep(1000);
   Console::WriteLine("Main thread exits.");
   return 0;
}
// The example displays output like the following:
//       Main thread does some work, then sleeps.
//       Hello from the thread pool.
//       Main thread exits.

using System;
using System.Threading;

public class Example 
{
    public static void Main() 
    {
        // Queue the task.
        ThreadPool.QueueUserWorkItem(ThreadProc);
        Console.WriteLine("Main thread does some work, then sleeps.");
        Thread.Sleep(1000);

        Console.WriteLine("Main thread exits.");
    }

    // This thread procedure performs the task.
    static void ThreadProc(Object stateInfo) 
    {
        // No state object was passed to QueueUserWorkItem, so stateInfo is null.
        Console.WriteLine("Hello from the thread pool.");
    }
}
// The example displays output like the following:
//       Main thread does some work, then sleeps.
//       Hello from the thread pool.
//       Main thread exits.

Imports System.Threading

Public Module Example
    Public Sub Main()
        ' Queue the work for execution.
        ThreadPool.QueueUserWorkItem(AddressOf ThreadProc)
        
        Console.WriteLine("Main thread does some work, then sleeps.")

        Thread.Sleep(1000)

        Console.WriteLine("Main thread exits.")
    End Sub

    ' This thread procedure performs the task.
    Sub ThreadProc(stateInfo As Object)
        ' No state object was passed to QueueUserWorkItem, so stateInfo is null.
        Console.WriteLine("Hello from the thread pool.")
    End Sub
End Module
' The example displays output like the following:
'       Main thread does some work, then sleeps.
'       Hello from the thread pool.
'       Main thread exits.

Remarks

You can place data required by the queued method in the instance fields of the class in which the method is defined, or you can use the QueueUserWorkItem(WaitCallback, Object) overload that accepts an object containing the necessary data.

Note

Visual Basic users can omit the WaitCallback constructor, and simply use the AddressOf operator when passing the callback method to QueueUserWorkItem. Visual Basic automatically calls the correct delegate constructor.

The Thread.CurrentPrincipal property value is propagated to worker threads queued using the QueueUserWorkItem method.

Examples

The following example uses the .NET thread pool to calculate the Fibonacci result for five numbers between 20 and 40. Each Fibonacci result is represented by the Fibonacci class, which provides a method named ThreadPoolCallback that performs the calculation. An object that represents each Fibonacci value is created, and the ThreadPoolCallback method is passed to QueueUserWorkItem, which assigns an available thread in the pool to execute the method.

Because each Fibonacci object is given a semi-random value to compute, and because each thread will be competing for processor time, you cannot know in advance how long it will take for all five results to be calculated. That is why each Fibonacci object is passed an instance of the ManualResetEvent class during construction. Each object signals the provided event object when its calculation is complete, which allows the primary thread to block execution with WaitAll until all five Fibonacci objects have calculated a result. The Main method then displays each Fibonacci result.

using namespace System;
using namespace System::Threading;

public ref class Fibonacci

    ManualResetEvent^ _doneEvent;

    int Calculate(int n)
    {
        if (n <= 1)

        }
        return Calculate(n - 1) + Calculate(n - 2);
    }
