Here is an example<br />
<br />
<br />
Dim partitioner = New ThreadingHelper.ChunkParti<wbr />tioner(tar<wbr />gets)<br />
Dim parallelOptions = New ParallelOptions() With { Key .MaxDegreeOfParallelism = 10 }<br />
Parallel.ForEach(partition<wbr />er, parallelOptions, Function(s) DoWP(projtorun, s))<br />

I guess I'm not really clear on how this works. Lets say I have a List of Vendors (List of T) and want to cycle through all of them. &nbsp;How would this example work with that list &nbsp; &nbsp;(lstVendors)?
</div>


<div>
Ok so this is what I need to do. &nbsp;I have a class that will do the work on the vendor in the list. so in the foreach loop I need to dim an instance of the class, pass the class the org from the list and do the work. How do I get the org out of the list in the foreach loop? <br />
<br />
Parallel.ForEach(LstVendor<wbr />s, Sub(x)<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Dim pu as new VendorUpdateThread<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; pu.vendor = LstVendors(x) &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;'this doesn't work<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; pu.start<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;End Sub)<br />

</div>


<div>
Ok. I see now that x is the variable. So I have this<br />
<br />
&nbsp;Parallel.ForEach(LstVendor<wbr />s, Sub(i)<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Dim pu As New PatientUpdateThread<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;pu.MyVendor = i<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;pu.UpdatePatients()<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;End Sub)<br />
<br />
It works except I have 20 vendors in the list. It does 4 of them and then exists the loop.
</div>


<div>
Have you looked at the &nbsp;walkthroughs I gave you?<br />
<br />
Where are your 20 vendors? In LstVendors or are they initialised somewhere else in your PatientUpdateThread?<br />
<br />
We only have the snapshot of code that you have given here, and can not perform miracles on code we do not see. The parallel for each walkthrough's should be adequate guidance for that part of your query, however, you'll need to elaborate more on the resultant query ....

I want to use the for each parallel method to cycle through a list of objects and perform some work on them. <br />
<br />
The list can contain 100 objects but can grow larger so I want the foreach loop to only work on say 5-10 objects at a time, wait for those threads to finish and do the next 5.<br />
<br />
Could anyone show me code as to how I would accomplish this?

parallel programming question

A regular expression ("regex") is a sequence of characters that define a search pattern, mainly for use in pattern matching with strings, or string matching, i.e. "find and replace"-like operations. Regular expression processors are found in several search engines, search and replace dialogs of several word processors and text editors, and in the command lines of text processing utilities, such as sed and AWK. Many programming languages provide regular expression capabilities, some built-in, for example Perl, JavaScript, Ruby, AWK, and Tcl, and others via a standard library, for example .NET languages, Java, Python and C++ (since C++11). Most other languages offer regular expressions via a library.

Regular Expressions

Visual Basic .NET (VB.NET) is an object-oriented programming language implemented on the .NET framework, but also supported on other platforms such as Mono and Silverlight. Microsoft launched VB.NET as the successor to the Visual Basic language. Though it is similar in syntax to  Visual Basic pre-2002, it is not the same technology,
