According to Single-Threaded Application with Long-Running Calculation MSDN example, there is a possibility of creating a responsive GUI in just 1 thread.

Event Handling in Threading Architecture Issue

I am dealing a big situation in architecture design flaw in multiple threading. I try to keep my application completely thread safe and avoid conflict with each others.

TPL vs. InvokeRequired/Invoke

Since .NET 4.0 there is the TPL to execute asynchronous tasks. If you are reading the msdn, all async operations interacting with forms / UI still uses the InvokeRequire ... Invoke() pattern. What I'm asking is that is there a reason for it? From what I learned, TPL should be sort of a replacement of older threading mechanisms. So what's...
