Hi,
can some elaborate on
when to use a delegate's BeginInvoke or ThreadPool.QueueUserWorkItem?
Since they both semantically do the same, see following code.
NOTE, coding was done within the famous OutlookIDE... :)
// Delegate
class TestDelegate
{
delegate void DoWorkDelegate();
private DoWorkDelegate m_doWorkDelegate;
public TestDelegate()
{
// create the delegate
m_doWorkDelegate = new DoWorkDelegate(this.DoWork);
}
private void DoWork()
{
// do whatever is needed to do
}
public StartWork()
{
// start work within an other thread
m_doWorkDelegate.BeginInvoke( null, null);
}
}
// ThreadPool
class TestThreadPool
{
private WaitCallback m_WaitCallback;
public TestDelegate()
{
// create the waitcallback
m_WaitCallback= new WaitCallback (this.DoWork);
}
private void DoWork(object state)
{
// do whatever is needed to do
}
public StartWork()
{
// start work within an other thread
ThreadPool.QueueUserWorkItem(m_WaitCallback);
}
}
// Ryan
