Threading in C# Joseph Albahari Last updated: 2011-4-27 Translations: Chinese | Czech | Persian | Russian | Japanese Download PDF Part 1: Getting Started C# supports parallel execution of code through multithreading.
A C# client program (Console, WPF, or Windows Forms) starts in a single thread created automatically by the CLR and operating system (the “main” thread), and is made multithreaded by creating additional threads. All examples assume the following namespaces are imported: using System; using System.Threading; class ThreadTest{ static void Main() { Thread t = new Thread (WriteY); t.Start(); for (int i = 0; i < 1000; i++) Console.Write ("x"); } static void WriteY() { for (int i = 0; i < 1000; i++) Console.Write ("y"); }} The main thread creates a new thread t on which it runs a method that repeatedly prints the character “y”.
Once started, a thread’s IsAlive property returns true, until the point where the thread ends. Done static void Go(){ if (! Done Done (usually!) Join and Sleep. Patterns & practices. Each patterns & practices offering contains a combination of written documentation and re-usable source code. Many also include a reference implementation. As the guidance is being developed it is reviewed and approved by internal Microsoft product teams and by external customers and partners.
This produces a solid starting point for your application and a set of proven practices that you can follow with confidence. Many patterns & practices offerings illustrate how to incorporate multiple Microsoft products and technologies into an overall solution. By using patterns & practices offerings, you can accelerate the design and development of your custom applications, reduce project technical risk, and position yourself to take advantage of future Microsoft technologies. patterns & practices offerings are organized in the MSDN Library into the following categories: In addition, a collection of Retired Content is available.
To view the future release plan, see the patterns & practices Roadmap.
