parallel (threads)

[csharpula csharp]

Hello,
I build a console application which will run few actions in parallel. I
wanted to know what is the best way to implement it : by regular
threads,some thread interfaces or background workers? And where can I
find good example for that?
Thank you!

Well, how much do you already know about threading? I've got a tutorial
of sorts at

Hi,

Hello,

This is the part I do not nderstand, are those external apps? if so all you
have to do is start them.

I will work with external applications running via web service but I
need to manage their running by getting the result status and start
them.So what is the best way? SHould I use background worker from main
thread or some other way?
Thanks!

If your own code isn't going to do any of the actual work, you will
probably be best off just starting the processes normally in a single
thread and handling the Process.Exited event to deal with processing any
results.

But I want them to run in parallel so how can I do that?
Thank u!

When you call Process.Start, that starts a whole extra *process* - so
if you start multiple processes, they'll naturally run in parallel.
