从线程返回值？

Question

如何从线程返回值？

Answer 1

从线程获取返回值的最简单方法之一是使用闭包。 创建一个变量来保存线程的返回值，然后在 lambda 表达式中捕获它。 将“返回”值从工作线程分配给此变量，然后一旦该线程结束，您就可以从父线程使用它。

void Main()
{
  object value = null; // Used to store the return value
  var thread = new Thread(
    () =>
    {
      value = "Hello World"; // Publish the return value
    });
  thread.Start();
  thread.Join();
  Console.WriteLine(value); // Use the return value here
}

Answer 2

这取决于您想如何创建线程和可用的 .NET 版本：

.NET 2.0+：

A) 您可以直接创建Thread对象。 在这种情况下，您可以使用“closure” - 声明变量并使用 lambda 表达式捕获它：

object result = null;
Thread thread = new System.Threading.Thread(() => { 
    //Some work...
    result = 42; });
thread.Start();
thread.Join();
Console.WriteLine(result);

B) 您可以使用委托和IAsyncResult并从EndInvoke()方法返回值：

delegate object MyFunc();
...
MyFunc x = new MyFunc(() => { 
    //Some work...
    return 42; });
IAsyncResult asyncResult = x.BeginInvoke(null, null);
object result = x.EndInvoke(asyncResult);

C) 您可以使用BackgroundWorker类。 在这种情况下，您可以使用捕获的变量（如使用Thread对象）或处理RunWorkerCompleted事件：

BackgroundWorker worker = new BackgroundWorker();
worker.DoWork += (s, e) => {
    //Some work...
    e.Result = 42;
};
worker.RunWorkerCompleted += (s, e) => {
    //e.Result "returned" from thread
    Console.WriteLine(e.Result);
};
worker.RunWorkerAsync();

.NET 4.0+：

从 .NET 4.0 开始，您可以使用Task Parallel Library和Task类来启动您的线程。 通用类Task<TResult>允许您从Result属性获取返回值：

//Main thread will be blocked until task thread finishes
//(because of obtaining the value of the Result property)
int result = Task.Factory.StartNew(() => {
    //Some work...
    return 42;}).Result;

.NET 4.5+：

从 .NET 4.5 开始，您还可以使用async / await关键字直接从任务返回值，而不是获取Result属性：

int result = await Task.Run(() => {
    //Some work...
    return 42; });

注意：包含上述代码的方法应使用async关键字进行标记。

由于许多原因，使用任务并行库是处理线程的首选方式。

Answer 3

我会使用BackgroundWorker方法并在 e.Result 中返回结果。

编辑：

这通常与 WinForms 和 WPF 相关联，但可以由任何类型的 .NET 应用程序使用。 以下是使用 BackgroundWorker 的控制台应用程序的示例代码：

using System;
using System.Threading;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Text;

namespace BGWorker
{
    class Program
    {
        static bool done = false;

        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            BackgroundWorker bg = new BackgroundWorker();
            bg.DoWork += new DoWorkEventHandler(bg_DoWork);
            bg.RunWorkerCompleted += new RunWorkerCompletedEventHandler(bg_RunWorkerCompleted);
            bg.RunWorkerAsync();

            while (!done)
            {
                Console.WriteLine("Waiting in Main, tid " + Thread.CurrentThread.ManagedThreadId);
                Thread.Sleep(100);
            }
        }

        static void bg_RunWorkerCompleted(object sender, RunWorkerCompletedEventArgs e)
        {
            Console.WriteLine("Completed, tid " + Thread.CurrentThread.ManagedThreadId);
            done = true;
        }

        static void bg_DoWork(object sender, DoWorkEventArgs e)
        {
            for (int i = 1; i <= 5; i++)
            {
                Console.WriteLine("Work Line: " + i + ", tid " + Thread.CurrentThread.ManagedThreadId);
                Thread.Sleep(500);
            }
        }
    }
}

输出：

Waiting in Main, tid 10
Work Line: 1, tid 6
Waiting in Main, tid 10
Waiting in Main, tid 10
Waiting in Main, tid 10
Waiting in Main, tid 10
Waiting in Main, tid 10

他指出您可以使用返回Task<T>的Task<T> ，并检查Task<T>.Result 。

Answer 4

线程不是方法 - 通常不会“返回”值。

但是，如果您试图从某些处理的结果中取回一个值，您有很多选择，主要有两个：

• 您可以同步共享数据，并对其进行适当设置。
• 您还可以以某种形式的回调将数据传回。

这实际上取决于您如何创建线程，以及您想如何使用它，以及您使用的语言/框架/工具。

Answer 5

我最喜欢的类，只需 2 行代码即可在另一个线程上运行任何方法。

class ThreadedExecuter<T> where T : class
{
    public delegate void CallBackDelegate(T returnValue);
    public delegate T MethodDelegate();
    private CallBackDelegate callback;
    private MethodDelegate method;

    private Thread t;

    public ThreadedExecuter(MethodDelegate method, CallBackDelegate callback)
    {
        this.method = method;
        this.callback = callback;
        t = new Thread(this.Process);
    }
    public void Start()
    {
        t.Start();
    }
    public void Abort()
    {
        t.Abort();
        callback(null); //can be left out depending on your needs
    }
    private void Process()
    {
        T stuffReturned = method();
        callback(stuffReturned);
    }
}

用法

    void startthework()
    {
        ThreadedExecuter<string> executer = new ThreadedExecuter<string>(someLongFunction, longFunctionComplete);
        executer.Start();
    }
    string someLongFunction()
    {
        while(!workComplete)
            WorkWork();
        return resultOfWork;
    }
    void longFunctionComplete(string s)
    {
        PrintWorkComplete(s);
    }

请注意 longFunctionComplete 不会在与 startthework 相同的线程上执行。

对于带参数的方法，你总是可以使用闭包，或者扩展类。

Answer 6

这是一个使用委托的简单示例......

void Main()
{
   DoIt d1 = Doer.DoThatThang;
   DoIt d2 = Doer.DoThatThang;

   IAsyncResult r1 = d1.BeginInvoke( 5, null, null );
   IAsyncResult r2 = d2.BeginInvoke( 10, null, null );

   Thread.Sleep( 1000 );

   var s1 = d1.EndInvoke( r1 );
   var s2 = d2.EndInvoke( r2 );

   s1.Dump(); // You told me 5
   s2.Dump(); // You told me 10
}

public delegate string DoIt( int x );

public class Doer
{
  public static string DoThatThang( int x  )
  {
    return "You told me " + x.ToString();
  }
}

在Threading in C# 中有一个关于线程的精彩系列。

Answer 7

只需使用委托方法。

int val;
Thread thread = new Thread(() => { val = Multiply(1, 2); });
thread.Start();

现在使 Multiply 函数可以在另一个线程上工作：

int Multiply(int x, int y)
{
    return x * y;
}

Answer 8

使用最新的 .NET Framework，可以使用 Task 从单独的线程返回一个值，其中 Result 属性会阻止调用线程，直到任务完成：

  Task<MyClass> task = Task<MyClass>.Factory.StartNew(() =>
  {
      string s = "my message";
      double d = 3.14159;
      return new MyClass { Name = s, Number = d };
  });
  MyClass test = task.Result;

Answer 9

我在尝试获取在线程中执行的方法的返回值时遇到了这个线程。 我想我会发布我的解决方案。

此解决方案使用一个类来存储要执行的方法（间接）并存储返回值。 该类可用于任何函数和任何返回类型。 您只需使用返回值类型实例化对象，然后通过 lambda（或委托）传递函数以进行调用。

C# 3.0 实现

---

public class ThreadedMethod<T>
{

    private T mResult;
    public T Result 
    {
        get { return mResult; }
        private set { mResult = value; }
    }

    public ThreadedMethod()
    {
    }

    //If supporting .net 3.5
    public void ExecuteMethod(Func<T> func)
    {
        Result = func.Invoke();
    }

    //If supporting only 2.0 use this and 
    //comment out the other overload
    public void ExecuteMethod(Delegate d)
    {
        Result = (T)d.DynamicInvoke();
    }
}

要使用此代码，您可以使用 Lambda（或委托）。 以下是使用 lambda 的示例：

ThreadedMethod<bool> threadedMethod = new ThreadedMethod<bool>();
Thread workerThread = new Thread((unused) => 
                            threadedMethod.ExecuteMethod(() => 
                                SomeMethod()));
workerThread.Start();
workerThread.Join();
if (threadedMethod.Result == false) 
{
    //do something about it...
}

---

VB.NET 2008 实现

---

任何使用 VB.NET 2008 的人都不能使用带有非值返回方法的 lambda。 这会影响ThreadedMethod类，因此我们将使ExecuteMethod返回函数的值。 这不会伤害任何东西。

Public Class ThreadedMethod(Of T)

    Private mResult As T
    Public Property Result() As T
        Get
            Return mResult
        End Get
        Private Set(ByVal value As T)
            mResult = value
        End Set
    End Property

    Sub New()
    End Sub

    'If supporting .net 3.5'
    Function ExecuteMethod(ByVal func As Func(Of T)) As T
        Result = func.Invoke()
        Return Result
    End Function

    'If supporting only 2.0 use this and' 
    'comment out the other overload'
    Function ExecuteMethod(ByVal d As [Delegate]) As T
        Result = DirectCast(d.DynamicInvoke(), T)
        Return Result
    End Function

End Class

Answer 10

C# 中用于启动线程的 ThreadStart 委托具有返回类型“void”。

如果您希望从线程获得“返回值”，您应该写入共享位置（以适当的线程安全方式）并在线程完成执行时从中读取。

Answer 11

如果您不想使用 BackgroundWorker，而只想使用常规线程，那么您可以触发一个事件来返回如下数据：

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Data;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Text;
using System.Windows.Forms;
using System.Threading;

namespace ThreadWithDataReturnExample
{
    public partial class Form1 : Form
    {
        private Thread thread1 = null;

        public Form1()
        {
            InitializeComponent();

            thread1 = new Thread(new ThreadStart(this.threadEntryPoint));
            Thread1Completed += new AsyncCompletedEventHandler(thread1_Thread1Completed);
        }

        private void startButton_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            thread1.Start();
            //Alternatively, you could pass some object
            //in such as Start(someObject);
            //With apprioriate locking, or protocol where
            //no other threads access the object until
            //an event signals when the thread is complete,
            //any other class with a reference to the object 
            //would be able to access that data.
            //But instead, I'm going to use AsyncCompletedEventArgs 
            //in an event that signals completion
        }

        void thread1_Thread1Completed(object sender, AsyncCompletedEventArgs e)
        {
            if (this.InvokeRequired)
            {//marshal the call if we are not on the GUI thread                
                BeginInvoke(new AsyncCompletedEventHandler(thread1_Thread1Completed),
                  new object[] { sender, e });
            }
            else
            {
                //display error if error occurred
                //if no error occurred, process data
                if (e.Error == null)
                {//then success

                    MessageBox.Show("Worker thread completed successfully");
                    DataYouWantToReturn someData = e.UserState as DataYouWantToReturn;
                    MessageBox.Show("Your data my lord: " + someData.someProperty);

                }
                else//error
                {
                    MessageBox.Show("The following error occurred:" + Environment.NewLine + e.Error.ToString());
                }
            }
        }

        #region I would actually move all of this into it's own class
            private void threadEntryPoint()
            {
                //do a bunch of stuff

                //when you are done:
                //initialize object with data that you want to return
                DataYouWantToReturn dataYouWantToReturn = new DataYouWantToReturn();
                dataYouWantToReturn.someProperty = "more data";

                //signal completion by firing an event
                OnThread1Completed(new AsyncCompletedEventArgs(null, false, dataYouWantToReturn));
            }

            /// <summary>
            /// Occurs when processing has finished or an error occurred.
            /// </summary>
            public event AsyncCompletedEventHandler Thread1Completed;
            protected virtual void OnThread1Completed(AsyncCompletedEventArgs e)
            {
                //copy locally
                AsyncCompletedEventHandler handler = Thread1Completed;
                if (handler != null)
                {
                    handler(this, e);
                }
            }
        #endregion

    }
}

Answer 12

线程并没有真正的返回值。 但是，如果创建委托，则可以通过BeginInvoke方法异步调用它。 这将在线程池线程上执行该方法。 您可以通过EndInvoke从诸如调用中获取任何返回值。

例子：

static int GetAnswer() {
   return 42;
}

...

Func<int> method = GetAnswer;
var res = method.BeginInvoke(null, null); // provide args as needed
var answer = method.EndInvoke(res);

GetAnswer将在线程池线程上执行，完成后您可以通过EndInvoke检索答案，如图所示。

Answer 13

在为 Windows 窗体开发时， BackgroundWorker很不错。

假设你想来回传递一个简单的类：

class Anything {
    // Number and Text are for instructional purposes only
    public int Number { get; set; }
    public string Text { get; set; }
    // Data can be any object - even another class
    public object Data { get; set; }
}

我写了一个简短的类，它执行以下操作：

• 创建或清除列表
• 开始循环
• 在循环中，为列表创建一个新项目
• 在循环中，创建一个线程
• 在循环中，将项目作为参数发送给线程
• 在循环中，启动线程
• 在循环中，将线程添加到要观看的列表中
• 循环后，加入每个线程
• 所有连接完成后，显示结果

从线程例程内部：

• 调用 lock 以便一次只有 1 个线程可以进入此例程（其他线程必须等待）
• 发布有关该项目的信息。
• 修改项目。
• 当线程完成时，数据显示在控制台上。

添加委托对于将数据直接发布回主线程很有用，但如果某些数据项不是线程安全的，您可能需要使用Invoke 。

class AnyTask {

    private object m_lock;

    public AnyTask() {
        m_lock = new object();
    }
    // Something to use the delegate
    public event MainDelegate OnUpdate;

    public void Test_Function(int count) {
        var list = new List<Thread>(count);
        for (var i = 0; i < count; i++) {
            var thread = new Thread(new ParameterizedThreadStart(Thread_Task));
            var item = new Anything() {
                Number = i,
                Text = String.Format("Test_Function #{0}", i)
            };
            thread.Start(item);
            list.Add(thread);
        }
        foreach (var thread in list) {
            thread.Join();
        }
    }

    private void MainUpdate(Anything item, bool original) {
        if (OnUpdate != null) {
            OnUpdate(item, original);
        }
    }

    private void Thread_Task(object parameter) {
        lock (m_lock) {
            var item = (Anything)parameter;
            MainUpdate(item, true);
            item.Text = String.Format("{0}; Thread_Task #{1}", item.Text, item.Number);
            item.Number = 0;
            MainUpdate(item, false);
        }
    }

}

要对此进行测试，请创建一个小的控制台应用程序，并将其放入Program.cs文件中：

// A delegate makes life simpler
delegate void MainDelegate(Anything sender, bool original);

class Program {

    private const int COUNT = 15;
    private static List<Anything> m_list;

    static void Main(string[] args) {
        m_list = new List<Anything>(COUNT);
        var obj = new AnyTask();
        obj.OnUpdate += new MainDelegate(ThreadMessages);
        obj.Test_Function(COUNT);
        Console.WriteLine();
        foreach (var item in m_list) {
            Console.WriteLine("[Complete]:" + item.Text);
        }
        Console.WriteLine("Press any key to exit.");
        Console.ReadKey();
    }

    private static void ThreadMessages(Anything item, bool original) {
        if (original) {
            Console.WriteLine("[main method]:" + item.Text);
        } else {
            m_list.Add(item);
        }
    }

}

这是我得到的截图：

我希望其他人能够理解我试图解释的内容。

我喜欢在线程上工作和使用委托。 它们使 C# 充满乐趣。

一个简单的解决方案是通过 ref 将参数传递给线程中运行的函数，并在线程中更改其值。

       // create a list of threads
        List<Thread> threads = new List<Thread>();


        //declare the ref params
        bool is1 = false;
        bool is2 = false;

        threads.Add(new Thread(() => myFunction(someVar, ref is1)));
        threads.Add(new Thread(() => myFunction(someVar, ref is2)));

        threads.ForEach(x => x.Start());

        // wait for threads to finish
        threads.ForEach(x => x.Join());

        //check the ref params
        if (!is1)
        {
          //do something
        }

        if (!is2)
        {
           //do somethign else
        }

如果你不能改变在tread中运行的函数，你可以把它包装成另一个函数：

 bool theirFunction(var someVar){
   return false;
}


 void myFunction(var someVar ref bool result){
  result = theirFunction(myVar);
 }

可以使用此代码：

 private Object MyThread(Object Data)
      {
        Object response = null;
        Thread newThread = new Thread(() =>
        {
            response = MyFunction(Data);
            //MyFunction Is Function that you Define
        });
        newThread.Start();
        newThread.Join();
        return response;
      }

class Program
{
    public static void ActionResultPrint(string i)
    {
        Console.WriteLine(i);
    }

    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        var tl = new List<Thread>();

        tl.Add(new Thread(() => Run(10, ActionResultPrint)));
        tl.Add(new Thread(() => Run(20, ActionResultPrint)));
        tl.ForEach(x => x.Start());
        tl.ForEach(x => x.Join());
    }

    public static void Run(int j, Action<string> action)
    {
        string rvalue = string.Empty;

        for (int i = 0; i <= j; i++)
        {
            Thread.Sleep(100);
            rvalue = i.ToString();
            Console.WriteLine(rvalue);
        }
        action($@"output {j}");
    }
}

使用线程时，可以通过以下方式传递和返回值：

int value = -1;
  Thread t1 = new Thread(() => { value = compute(a); });
   t1.Start();
 if(value!=-1)
 {...}

   public int compute(int[] a1)
    {
    //...code logic
        return -1;
    }

Answer 19

我不是线程方面的专家，这就是我这样做的原因：

我创建了一个设置文件和

在新线程中：

Setting.Default.ValueToBeSaved;
Setting.Default.Save();

然后我会在需要时获取该值。
