Looking for some UI thread and working thread tutorials

Question

Hello everyone,

My working environment is VSTS 2008 + C# + .Net 3.5. I want to learn the differences between UI thread and worker thread, and any other types of thread (i.e. non-UI thread is the same as worker thread)? I also want to learn the restrictions of what we can do on each type of threads and best practices to avoid any issues.

Appreciate any good tutorials! :-)

thanks in advance, George

Answer 1

There's a long, detailed tutorial on threading here.

Specifically, I'd recommend this section on worker and UI threads and how they can interact (it does assume you've read the previous chapters though).

Answer 2

This site has great threading details covering: Getting Started, Basic Synchronization, Using Threads, and Advanced Topics.
