Crear subprocesos y analizar los datos en el inicio

Al crear un proceso del sistema operativo, éste introduce un subproceso para ejecutar el código de dicho proceso, incluido cualquier dominio de aplicación original. A partir de ese punto, pueden crearse y destruirse dominios de aplicación sin que necesariamente se cree o destruya ningún subproceso del sistema operativo. Si el código que se ejecuta es administrado, puede obtenerse un objeto Thread para el subproceso que se ejecuta en el dominio de aplicación actual si se recupera la propiedad estática CurrentThread de tipo Thread. En este tema se describe la creación de subprocesos y se analizan las alternativas para pasar datos al procedimiento de subproceso.

Crear un subproceso

Al crear un nuevo objeto Thread se crea un nuevo subproceso administrado. La clase Thread dispone de constructores que toman un delegado ThreadStart o ParameterizedThreadStart; el delegado contiene el método al que invoca el nuevo subproceso cuando se llama al método Start. Si se llama a Start más de una vez, se produce una excepción ThreadStateException.

Cuando el método Start devuelve el resultado, el subproceso se encuentra en el estado Running. Se puede programar su ejecución, pero quizás no haya empezado a ejecutarse.

Nota

En la mayoría de los casos, no es necesario asegurarse de que el nuevo subproceso haya empezado a ejecutarse antes de que el subproceso que lo inició continúe ejecutándose.Si es necesario, el subproceso que llamó al método Start debe bloquearse (por ejemplo, llamando al método Mutex.WaitOne en una exclusión mutua que está visible para el nuevo subproceso) en cuanto se haya iniciado el nuevo subproceso.El nuevo subproceso puede desbloquear el antiguo subproceso (por ejemplo, llamando al método Mutex.ReleaseMutex en la exclusión mutua compartida) en cuanto sea seguro que el antiguo subproceso continúe.No use las propiedades ThreadState y IsAlive para sincronizar las actividades de los subprocesos.

Una vez iniciado un subproceso, no es necesario conservar una referencia al objeto Thread. El subproceso se continúa ejecutando hasta que el procedimiento del mismo finaliza.

En el ejemplo de código siguiente se crean dos subprocesos nuevos para llamar a métodos estáticos y una instancia de otro objeto.

Pasar datos a subprocesos y recuperar datos de subprocesos

En la versión 2.0 de .NET Framework, el delegado ParameterizedThreadStart proporciona una forma sencilla de pasar un objeto que contiene datos a un subproceso cuando se llama a la sobrecarga del método Thread.Start. Vea ParameterizedThreadStart para obtener un ejemplo de código.

El uso del delegado ParameterizedThreadStart no constituye un modo con seguridad de tipos para pasar los datos, dado que la sobrecarga del método Thread.Start acepta cualquier objeto. Una alternativa consiste en encapsular el procedimiento de subproceso y los datos en una clase auxiliar y utilizar el delegado ThreadStart para ejecutar el procedimiento de subproceso. Esta técnica se muestra en los dos ejemplos de código siguientes.

Ninguno de estos delegados presenta un valor devuelto, porque no hay ningún lugar donde devolver los datos de una llamada asincrónica. Para recuperar los resultados de un método de subproceso, puede utilizar un método de respuesta, como se muestra en el segundo ejemplo de código.
