Threading Error
-
I am getting
An object reference is required for the nonstatic field, method, or property 'AMPE_Server.AMPE_Service.ReadRequest()'in the following method.private static void ProcessRequest() { while ( true ) { Thread requestThread = new Thread( new ThreadStart( ReadRequest ) ); requestThread.Start(); } }which refers to the following methodprivate void ReadRequest() { AMPE_Server.Communication.Request request = new AMPE_Server.Communication.Request() lock (this) { request = (AMPE_Server.Communication.Request) queueRequests.Dequeue(); } }What the hell have I done wrong? This learning threading is hard as hell after programming with VB for the past 10 years.
Yes, I program in VB6, but only because I use it to fill my addiction to having a dry place to sleep and food to eat! -

Hope that helps! flow

What you've done wrong is that you pass the ReadRequest method to the ThreadStart delegate without using an object.
Thread requestThread = new Thread( new ThreadStart( ReadRequest ) );As the ReadRequest method isn't static this fails. Either declare your method static or use an object.Thread requestThread = new Thread( new ThreadStart( obj.ReadRequest ) );www.troschuetz.de -

Thanks for the help. I redefined the method as static and had to remove the lock code. Can you explain what the lock command does? Regards, Eric C. Tomlinson
