Following this, could anyone post a barebone solution for the following task, targeting .NET 4.5 (and WPF UI on a bigger scale)?
Basically I'm looking for a functional analog of any torrent application implemented on .NET 4.5 and c#.
The task:
I have IEnumerable<IProcessable>
, containing 1000 instances of IProcessable
, IProcessable
has Process(int argument)
method, taking from 1 to 10 seconds to execute. I want to loop through the collection and process each instance of IProcessable
, limiting the number of concurrently processed instances to N (1..10), number of max concurrent instances should be easily adjustable. Ideally I'd each IProcessable
to report about the progress of Process completion, here's a prototype of Process (it probably needs to be converted to something rather than void in order to enable progress reporting):
void Process(int e)
{
int progress = 0;
...Sleep for 100ms;
int progress = 30;
...Sleep for 100ms;
int progress = 50;
...
}
If all you want is to limit the number processed instances at a time, it seems like
Parallel.ForEach()
would be a good solution. When you use it, you can specifyMaxDegreeOfParallelism
, which does that.
