Publisher's Synopsis
This work addresses the fundamental units of Windows and .NET programming - threads. A strong understanding of the role threads play in program execution, how multiple threads can interact in order to make efficient programs, and the pitfalls to beware of when developing multithreaded applications, are all core to a developer's ability to develop effective C# programs. This book covers how .NET applications are executed, the life cycle of a thread in .NET, how the .NET Framework uses threads, how threads work in an event-driven environment, how race conditions and deadlocks can be avoided, how the activity of multiple threads can be synchronized, and how to debug multithreaded applications. It finishes off by describing the creation of a multithreaded network application.;The book aims to cover the tricky issues of threading in .NET, and particularly to do so from the perspective of C# developers. Threading is by nature not easy to grasp, but is a necessary step towards mastery of programming for the .NET platform.
