.net - What's the best way to determine that threads have stopped? -

-

i have windows service has number of threads need stopped before service stops. i'm using model stopping threads , signalling have been stopped:

threadpool.queueuserworkitem(new waitcallback(delegate {     thread1running = true;      try     {         while (running)         {             autoreset1.waitone(timespan.fromseconds(30.0));              if (running)             {                 // stuff             }         }     }         {         thread1running = false;     } }));

when comes time shut service stop, set running false , call set() on autoresets out there. instantly signals threads stop sleeping or stop once they've finished processing they're working on. works well. but, part i'm nervous about, verifying has stopped. i'm doing now:

int32 tries = 0; while (tries < 5 && (thread1running || thread2running || thread3running)) {     tries++;      thread.sleep(timespan.fromseconds(5.0)); }

the main reason don't it's time based, , if 1 of threads in middle of lengthy operation (which quite likely), shut down may not finish in 25 seconds (and it's important of these threads shut down time onstop, code gets run, finishes). can't remove tries because if 1 of threads hangs (they don't, never know), i'm stuck , service never stop.

is there better way verification threads have stopped, preferably 1 isn't time based? or doomed having sort of timeout might need longer (10 tries 30 second sleep, maybe)?

i believe general method doing join on threads. specifics of call depend on threading library you're using, in general join method block until thread has exited (and should return if thread dead). join on threads in sequence, exit. if joins have returned threads have exited.

many threading libraries allow add timeout join, want do. way if 1 of threads hangs exit code doesn't block.

c++ - Convert big endian to little endian when reading from a binary file -

this question has answer here: how convert between big-endian , little-endian values in c++? 28 answers i've been looking around how convert big-endian little-endians. didn't find solve problem. seem there's many way can conversion. anyway following code works ok in big-endian system. how should write conversion function work on little-endian system well? this homework, since systems @ school running big-endian system. it's got curious , wanted make work on home computer also #include <iostream> #include <fstream> using namespace std; int main() { ifstream file; file.open("file.bin", ios::in | ios::binary); if(!file) cerr << "not able read" << endl; else { cout << "opened" << endl; int i_var; double d_var; while(!file.eof()) {...

C#: Application without a window or taskbar item (background app) that can still use Console.WriteLine() -

i'm trying create application adheres following: no taskbar no console or form window can utilize console.writeline() . (i.e. if executes app command prompt write console.) the problem if create windows form (or wpf) application can have there no taskbar, console or window show up, console.writeline() nothing. if create console app, writes console, can't figure out how hide (and if did hide it, write command prompt window?)... how do this? just create standard console application. callers responsibility hide window caused program (from how run c# console application console hidden ): system.diagnostics.processstartinfo start = new system.diagnostics.processstartinfo(); start.filename = dir + @"\myprocesstostart.exe"; start.windowstyle = system.diagnostics.processwindowstyle.hidden;
