ezThread

ezThread is a .NET standard library made to make threading easy. Features currently include an easy way to execute functions and cancel them async and a class that'll run your functions with the amount of threads requested.

Jobs

Job is a class that contains your functions and can execute and cancel async. Jobs are required for the JobManager class.

Example

   Job j = new Job(() =>
        {
            Console.WriteLine("Job1");
        });

//runs the job optional parameter of how many times to execute
j.execute();

//runs the job async optional parameter of how many times to execute
j.executeAsync();

//cancels the execution of the job if its running async
j.cancelExecution();

JobManager

JobManager is a class you can provide a list of jobs too and the amount of threads you want to execute the jobs with.

Example

 List<Job> joblist = new List<Job>();
        //Creating a 100 jobs to execute
        for (int i = 0; i < 100; i++)
        {
            int e = i;
            Job j = new Job(() =>
            {
                Console.WriteLine("Job"+e);
            });
            joblist.Add(j);
        }

//Creates a jobmanager class with our list and 10 threads to execute them with
JobManager jobManager = new JobManager(joblist, 10);

//Starts the execution of the jobs
jobManager.startThreads();

//Returns true if all threads are done
bool done = jobManager.isDone();

//Returns true if all threads are paused
bool paused = jobManager.isPaused();

//Pause threads
jobManager.pauseThreads();

//Resume threads
jobManager.resumeThreads();

//Adds a job to the queue
jobManager.addJob(Job);

//Removes the specified job from the queue
jobManager.removeJob(Job);

//Removes 20 threads from the manager
jobManager.decreaseThreads(20);

//Removes 20 percent of the threads from the manager
jobManager.decreaseThreads(20.0);

//Adds specified amount of threads to the manager (Default is 1)
jobManager.addThread();

//Terminates the threads and stops the manager
jobManager.killThreads();

//Returns amount of threads
int threads = jobManager.threadAmount();

Notes:

• Do not use more threads than the amount of jobs.
• Do not start the manager while its paused instead resume it.
• Too many threads might slow down the device your running on and bottleneck the program.
• In networking cases sometimes the more threads you use the slowler it'll execute if they're bottlenecked by the speed of your internet.
• The killthread() function isn't meant to be used right now, but if you're gonna use it the first thread has an ID of 0 and the last one has an ID of Threads-1 since threads are stored in a list.
• Easier ways to control the threads coming in the future.
