Today I was able to do some work on the .Net Download library project. I mainly focused on the cross thread event handling, on which I’ve been busy for quite a while now. Thanks to some helpful docs on MSDN, I now have a working implementation, that successfully fires events of the Download class onto the thread the instance was created. (yay!) The next step is to clean up the code a little, and implement it for all events. I’m still looking for the best way to store all the event delegates. I originally had a delegate for each event, but now moved them to a HashTable, from where I identify them via an Int32 Enum
.
Nice!
Why did you not use delegates for cross threat communication?
Btw, will the new library require .NET 4.0, which allows for anonymous functions?
Keep up the good work!

Hey,
I am using delegates, like mentioned in the post 😉
As for .Net 4.0: good question. To be honest, I haven’t had a good look at it yet. Unless it has some stuff that would really improve the lib, I’m sticking with .Net 2.0, which will allow a lot more people to use it, and will have less deployment issues.
Cheers!
