I have an issue with using a Database in a thread in my asp.net Application. When I want to start my application I want to start a thread called "BackgroundWorker" with it, which runs in the background till the whole application is stopped.
The problem is that I have massive problems with the dbContext in the thread.
I I try to start the walker in my Startup.cs in the methods "ConfigureServices" or "Configure" and then initialize the dbContext in the constructor in the Walker like this "dbContext = new ApplicationContext()" it tells me that the connection is not configured, when I try to operate in the while(true) queue on the database. If I write an own Controller for the Walker which receives a ApplicationContext in his constructor and then starts a Thread like this, if i call this controller once with a GET Request:
public BackgroundWorker(ChronicusContext dbContext)
{
_dbContext = dbContext;
_messageService = new MailMessageService();
}
// GET: api/backgroundworker
[HttpGet]
[Route("start")]
public void StartWorker()
{
//Thread thread = new Thread(this.DoBackGroundWork);
Thread thread = new Thread(() => DoBackGroundWork(this._dbContext));
thread.Start();
}
public void DoBackGroundWork(ChronicusContext _dbContext)
{
while (true)
{
if (_dbContext.PollModels.Any()) //Here is the exception
{
...
}
}
}
Then I receive an System.ObjectDisposedException that the object is already disposed inside the while (true) queue.
I tried those and similar things in many different ways but allways receive exceptions like these two or that the database connection is closed.
Can somebody help me and tell me, how this works?
Thank you!
