ThreadPool.GetMaxThreads Method

Syntax

'Declaration
<SecuritySafeCriticalAttribute> _
Public Shared Sub GetMaxThreads ( _
    <OutAttribute> ByRef workerThreads As Integer, _
    <OutAttribute> ByRef completionPortThreads As Integer _
)

[SecuritySafeCriticalAttribute]
public static void GetMaxThreads(
    out int workerThreads,
    out int completionPortThreads
)

Remarks

When GetMaxThreads returns, the variable specified by workerThreads contains the maximum number of worker threads allowed in the thread pool, and the variable specified by completionPortThreads contains the maximum number of asynchronous I/O threads allowed in the thread pool.

Note:
In Silverlight-based applications, you cannot change the maximum and minimum number of worker threads.

You can queue as many thread pool requests as system memory allows. If there are more requests than thread pool threads, the additional requests remain queued until thread pool threads become available.
