| There are many processing operations that will take more than 1/10th of a second to complete, even on today's processors! To avoid tying up the user interface, a common approach is to spawn a new thread and do the work there, whilst sending updates back to a suitable indicator on the UI thread. This is one such indicator, implemented in C# using the .NET framework.

| Developing a Generic Thread Pool in C# |
| C#Today |
| One of the C# languages most powerful capabilities is its built-in support for threads. Threads are a powerful abstraction for allowing non-blocking parallel operations. Often there is a need to perform operations asynchronously. In languages like C/C++, you either have to write your own library from scratch, or use a third party solution. If continuous creation of these threads in any program is not controlled, the machine will run out of memory pretty soon. In this article, Tejaswi Redkar looks at the concept of thread pooling, and why it is important to use thread pools in server systems. Along the way, we will also develop a generic thread pool library that will be available for use on a regular basis. |

| Functionality and design of a thread pool class |
| C#Today |
| Multithreading is a very complex topic. Programmers have to deal with difficulties like resource sharing and thread synchronization, thread lifetime management, and starvation. Fortunately, the new Microsoft .NET technology provides a complete OO solution to handle these problems. Using the System.Threading namespace, you have classes for thread synchronization, callback scheduling with timers, thread management, and thread pooling. This is the first part of a two part article by Vincenzo Tenisci that looks at thread pooling and thread management. In this first part, he looks at thread pool design and implementation, gives an overview of the .NET Threadpool class, and designs and implements a custom thread pool. |

| Multiple Thread Techniques for a C# Windows Service |
| C#Today |
| Visual Studio .NET allows us to get a basic Windows service up and running quickly. The next step is to give our service the high-performance features and configurability required for real world applications. In this article, Scott Allen demonstrates how to use multithreaded techniques in .NET to achieve higher throughput and scalability in a sample Windows service. In addition, we cover configuration of the service via an XML file. In order to demonstrate the techniques discussed in the article we develop a "stock alerts" Windows service, which retrieves stock quotes from a web service and emails interested parties when a stock price moves past a specific threshold. The topics covered inside the article are also applicable to other .NET application types. |

| Asynchronous processing and background processing was always a must for serious programs serving complex user needs. The Windows NT platform offers a great way to accomplish this, but the implementation was sometimes tedious and always labor intensive. It is the reason why I first studied multithreading options offered by the .NET framework. |
