ThreadPool problem

[adwarak]

Hi,

I've written a performance collector application in VB .net which collects performance data from 32 servers.
Because of network latency the application had to be multithreaded to be faster.
I am using a threadpool to achive this.
The problem I am facing is, I do not get the data from all the servers. I lose some of the servers from time to time.
I am running this application on a 2 processor server which has only the .net framework installed.
By the way, the application is a windows service.
If I run the application on my workstation it runs perfectly with losing any servers. My workstation has got the framework and also the VS .net installed and Single Processor machine.
I believe I need to increase to the threadpool size to solve this issue.
A threadpool can have upto 25 worker threads, but this can be changed.
Could you please let me know how do I increase the threadpool size. The .net handbook suggests that I need to increase the CORSETMAXTHREAD variable in the MSCOREE.H file. The server on which I am running the application does not have this file.

Please advise.

Many thanks in advance.

That file is a C++ header file, and VB.NET will not be able to make use of it.

I would look at the result of the GetMaxThreads method of the ThreadPool object and see what it says. I suspect that you'll get different values depending on what machine you're running on.
