19. Multithreading Patterns
CHAPTER 18 FOCUSED on managing threads and synchronizing the data the threads share. As developers write more multithreaded code, a common set of scenarios and programming patterns for handling those scenarios emerges. The key scenarios relate to notifications of when a thread completes and notifications about the progress on the threads’ status. In addition, there is some built-in C# functionality for calling methods asynchronously, regardless of whether their signatures match ThreadStart. Most importantly, going with built-in patterns like this significantly reduces the effort in programming to solve these types of scenarios from scratch.
The two patterns specifically designed for these scenarios are the asynchronous ...
