Using Class's and multiThreading

[James]

Hi All,

Just going into the world of Multithreading and have a few questions about
using class's in them.

If I create a calls in the main thread then start a new thread that calls
another class can i use the class that i created in the main thread? It does
work but not sure if this is the correct way to do it.

Or should I create a new class in the class that was created by the new
thread?

Also can you use vars from the main thread in the new thread or should i
only use vars that are created in the new thread? i.e. dimmed in the new
thread class.

Hope that makes sense.

Thanks


James

You can use whatever accessible objects and variable you like, but you
must take care to synchronize access to them.

The best advice I can give you on entering the world of Multithreading
would be to read Jon Skeet's threading pages (in C#) at
