Peter, My solution creates Thread objects for each of Arvinder's pending job classes and joins those threads together for synchronization. If the pending job calculations consume shared resources, then my solution could result in a deadlock... good point.
Arvinder, Could you provide a more detailed explanation about the activities of the pending job? Kara On 7/19/07, Chopra, Arvinder [Beeline] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
The reason is that I would like to finish the pending jobs as soon as possible. The time lag between the start time of the first job, and finish of the last job is unacceptable. I have a quad processor machine, and I would to take advantage of the additional CPUs. -----Original Message----- From: Discussion of advanced .NET topics.

Ok, not to sound like a smarta$$ or anything, but one way to make sure the operation is complete before the method returns is to just run it synchornously (i.e. not in the background). Or is there a specific reason you want it in the background thread (keep the UI thread resposive?). --- Patrick Steele http://weblogs.asp.net/psteele -----Original Message----- From: Discussion of advanced .NET topics.

The question is what is the best practice/pattern to make sure all BackGroundWorkers have finished execution before the above method returns.
