Implementing IDisposable interface and possibility to stop Socket operations in FbRemoteEvent ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: DNET-171 URL: http://tracker.firebirdsql.org/browse/DNET-171 Project: .NET Data provider Issue Type: New Feature Components: ADO.NET Provider Affects Versions: 2.5.0 Alpha 2 Reporter: Pavel Assignee: Jiri Cincura is it possible to implement an IDisposable pattern for FbRemoteEvent? There are a lot of small problems now. For instance: if you pass an connection object to the FbRemoteEvent constructor there are two possibilities 1) you are as owner responsible for destroying this connection object - doesn't work for now, if you dispose connection, there is a socket exception, cause RemoteEvent still tries to read from already disposed stream 2) FbRemoteEvent should destroy it - there is no place in code, where FbRemoteEvent would manage connection dispose. As i understand, you cannot stop it from listening at all. the thread, that is reading responses from server is declared "background" and reads until owning window is destroyed (and causes bunch of ThreadAbortedException's) to understand the problem, consider this test case FbConnection conn1 = new FbConnection(""); conn1.Open(); revent = new FbRemoteEvent(conn1, new[] { "event" }); revent.RemoteEventCounts += revent_RemoteEventCounts; revent.QueueEvents(); revent.CancelEvents(); revent.RemoteEventCounts -= revent_RemoteEventCounts; revent.Connection = null; //this will cause an socket exception conn1.Dispose(); Is there any possibility to implement some Stop method (that causes stoppage of all socket/thread stuff) - in my opinion - CancelEvents might do this work. And it would be nice to know, that the same functionality (and also dispose of connection) would be done in Dispose method. We can still dispose connection on our own, but only if we can stop socket listening (and this must be clearly stated in docu). -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://tracker.firebirdsql.org/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Firebird-net-provider mailing list Firebird-net-provider@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/firebird-net-provider
