c# - How to use less CPU in a thread (mainly) responsible for publishing -

when using infinite loop trydequeue queue, uses cpu.

is possible make operation execute user interface notification, when queue not empty? , run event or function?

i reached conclusion in implementation uses zeromq library, in thread responsible publishing, infinite loop can not avoided.

using (var context = new context(1)){                     using (socket client = context.socket(sockettype.pub)){ while (!stopallthread){    sqlqueue.trydequeue(out message);    if (message != null){    ...    } } } 

it's not clear api or technology use, guess there should blocking alternative, such

var message = sqlqueue.dequeue(); 

in general case block thread until message read queue. shall not consume cpu when there nothing read.

if use zeromq (from comment) there blocking call on server (taken here)

// zmq context, server socket using (zmqcontext context = zmqcontext.create()) using (zmqsocket server = context.createsocket(sockettype.rep)) {     server.bind("tcp://*:5555");      while (true)     {         // wait next request client         string message = server.receive(encoding.unicode);         ...

if change architecture active polling new message push based model rid of problem of high cpu consumption. in push model have 1 thread reading queue. blocks if there no message there. once message read code dispatches event consumer, saying new message read, , here message consumer handle.

have @ blocking collection take method.
