threading examples?

[Glyn Meek]

I have been using VB .net since it came out, on the PC framework and the
Compact Framework, but have never had to use threading before. I now have to
write a 'thread' to monitor and display 'progress' on a job that takes 10
hours to run. I have looked at (and piondered at length!) some of the Visual
C++ examples that I was referred to from this forum, but am struggling with
getting anything for Visual Basic. Anyone got any good Visual Basic code
examples they know of, or of a good book that is something like "Threading
for the under 7s" or "Threading made easy" or "Idiots guide to Threading" or
something simple...lol?

regards and thanks in advance

maybe these links will help:

http://www.codeproject.com/vb/net/threadingvbnet.asp
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/d.../en-us/cpguide/html/cpconthreadsthreading.asp
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/d...s/cpguide/html/cpconUsingThreadsThreading.asp

the last one has links to examples of the various threading techniques.

hope that helps..
Imran.

The following article has all its examples in C#, but it's still an
introductory guide to threading:
