ThreadPool.QueueUserWorkItem Method (System.Threading) | Microsoft Learn

Source:: ThreadPoolWorkQueue.cs

Source:: ThreadPoolWorkQueue.cs

Source:: ThreadPoolWorkQueue.cs

Source:: ThreadPoolWorkQueue.cs

Queues a method for execution, and specifies an object containing data to be used by the method. The method executes when a thread pool thread becomes available.

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

public static bool QueueUserWorkItem(System.Threading.WaitCallback callBack, object? state);

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

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

Public Shared Function QueueUserWorkItem (callBack As WaitCallback, state As Object) As Boolean

Parameters

state: Object

An object containing data to be used by the method.

Returns

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

Exceptions

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

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 System.Threading;

public class Fibonacci
{
    private ManualResetEvent _doneEvent;

    public Fibonacci(int n, ManualResetEvent doneEvent)
    {
        N = n;
        _doneEvent = doneEvent;
    }

    public int N { get; }

    public int FibOfN { get; private set; }

    public void ThreadPoolCallback(Object threadContext)
    {
        int threadIndex = (int)threadContext;
        Console.WriteLine($"Thread {threadIndex} started...");
        FibOfN = Calculate(N);
        Console.WriteLine($"Thread {threadIndex} result calculated...");
        _doneEvent.Set();
    }

    public int Calculate(int n)
    {
        if (n <= 1)
        {
            return n;
        }
        return Calculate(n - 1) + Calculate(n - 2);
    }
}

{
    static void Main()
    {
        const int FibonacciCalculations = 5;

        var doneEvents = new ManualResetEvent[FibonacciCalculations];
        var fibArray = new Fibonacci[FibonacciCalculations];
        var rand = new Random();

        Console.WriteLine($"Launching {FibonacciCalculations} tasks...");
        for (int i = 0; i < FibonacciCalculations; i++)
        {
            doneEvents[i] = new ManualResetEvent(false);
            var f = new Fibonacci(rand.Next(20, 40), doneEvents[i]);
            fibArray[i] = f;
            ThreadPool.QueueUserWorkItem(f.ThreadPoolCallback, i);
        }

        WaitHandle.WaitAll(doneEvents);
        Console.WriteLine("All calculations are complete.");

        for (int i = 0; i < FibonacciCalculations; i++)
        {
            Fibonacci f = fibArray[i];
            Console.WriteLine($"Fibonacci({f.N}) = {f.FibOfN}");

Remarks

If the callback method requires complex data, you can define a class to contain the 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.
