• ThreadPool

• Asynchronous Programming Model: BeginInvoke, EndInvoke, AsyncCallback, IAsyncResult

• Thread, Thread.IsBackgound, ThreadStart, Exceptions(.NET 1.1 vs 2.0)

• ThreadPool

• Asynchronous Programming Model: BeginInvoke, EndInvoke, AsyncCallback, IAsyncResult

ConclusionsConclusions

• Use ThreadPool and the APM whenever possible!

• When to use dedicated Thread:• Start with high priority; TP - normal• Foreground; TP - background• Long running operations• Control the thread’s lifetime

(Thread.Abort)

• Always catch and handle the exceptions
