Multithreading in Whidbey

[Ioannis Vranos]

I am finishing learning the fundamentals of Managed Extensions, however
my current book has not anything about multithreading.

I am thinking to read a chapter about that of another VC++ 2003 oriented
book.

However I would like to know, will multithreading in VC++ 2005 with the
new C++/CLI stuff, be significantly different than what is in 2003 version?

If yes, I'll wait for the next release to read about the subject, if not
I will read it now.


Thanks in advance.






Best regards,

With respect to threading, there is not much difference. Learning the System
threading APIs is a good starter. Of course, there are some minor
improvements to it in Whidbey, but nothing specific to any language.

The one thing that is very much worth learning is AppDomains and their
association with threads. That too is not a C++ specific topic, but will be
invaluable knowledge if you get into more involved areas of managed code.

Thank you for your reply. And for all the useful replies you have
provided me in all discussion threads.

Hello Brandon,

The one thing that is very much worth learning is AppDomains and their
association with threads.

But it also very much worth learning that there is no need on association
with threads...
