computer science - I need to make sure my programming terminology is correct -


i'm trying find right words define 2 different concepts. after doing little bit of research on online computer science dictionaries, think i've found answer. need confirm it. below, have 2 concepts written down , words think describe them.

procedure - set of instructions breaks away main flow of program. once instructions complete, value returned point procedure called, , flow continues there.

thread - set of instructions not break away main flow of program. thread run along side program.

a lot of stuff language specific, i'll try 'layman' , generic possible.

they aren't definable in sense using in question. thread sort of instance of procedure executes concurrently rest of program. aren't opposites/compliments of each other.

a procedure, in general sense, sounds term function, method, subroutine, etc. block of code logically separated, , can called needed.

a thread asynchronous call procedure, , shares same memory space calling thread.

another way of putting it, have main thread, executes top bottom, calling procedures along way. called procedures/functions/methods etc still part of main thread. can spawn new thread operating system manage, has own set of procedures/commands execute (generally) shares memory space main (or calling) thread.

c# - Send Image in Json : 400 Bad request -

from android trying send image class of data, iis webservice. (c#) the problem 400 bad request . the image being encoded base64 . , placed json rest of class elements. my guess base64 not valid inside json. server not understand it. if set string "" , post accepted fine. so question is, how make base64 valid within json array? ( tried url.encode no success). or how should send image android webservice? gson gson = new gson(); string json = gson.tojson(record); // record has param { string base64photo } how big image? i'm pretty sure surpassing iis json size limit (default 4 mb). check http://geekswithblogs.net/frankw/archive/2008/08/05/how-to-configure-maxjsonlength-in-asp.net-ajax-applications.aspx or http://www.webtrenches.com/post.cfm/iis7-file-upload-size-limits good luck!
