book or article suggestion for multi-threaded winforms reading?

[D. Patrick]

I need to guide the training for some good ASP.NET programmers who don't
have Windows Forms experience, and they will soon be put onto a project for
multi-threaded winforms development.

Can anyone suggest a good book for multi-threaded winforms learning? Or
even some good URLs?

Hi D.Patrick,

Jon Skeet has a good article on multi-threading in .Net

D. Patrick,

Here is a good article I dug up which goes into the basics of performing
multi-threaded operations and windows forms:

Hope this helps.

The issues aren't .Net specific - if your developers understanding threading
in Java, or any other language, they will be off to a good start.

I learned most of my threading stuff from Jeff Richter's old book, "Advanced
Windows". This was (is?) a Win32 book that covered this stuff in detail.

MSDN has a number of primers on threading and concurrency issues in .Net.
