CALLING AN EXE FROM C# CODE

[vnr]

Hi, In my application i am using multi threading.For each thread i am calling an exe using System.Diagnostics.Process .What my doubt is if i have 100 threads then i need to call that exe for 100 times so will this degrade the performanace of application .I was not able to handle that code (which has written in exe) in my project thats why i hav written that in seperate application and calling that exe in my project.Just i wanted to know is this a correct way. Thank You

I think it will definitely degrade the performance. You can use ThreadPool to limit/control the concurrent threads that load your external program.

100 threads are rarely if ever going to perform as well as a couple of well though out threads. Not unless you have 100 processors. I can't work out exactly what you're doing, from your description.

I dont know so much about C#, but cant you start a bunch of threads in one exe module. In C++ there are Threading-Functions, like AfxBeginThread which do so. You probably got to redesign than your code. :~
