events and thread

[Guest]

Hi,
Does anyone know if raising an event spawns threads for each method that
handles the event, or does it just call each of the methods in order?
If it calls the handlers in order, and waits for each to return, can someone
suggest a good paradigm to just spawn a bunch of threads, one for each event
handler?
Thanks,
Yuri

The latter, no threads are created.

handler?

You can use Delegate.GetInvocationList to get each event handler
delegate. You may want to consider using the thread pool rather than
creating the threads explicitly.
