C# Multithreading: Thread, Task & Parallel
In C#, there are several ways to use multithreading.
- Using the Thread class: You can create a new thread by instantiating the Thread class and calling its Start method.
- Using the ThreadPool class: The ThreadPool class provides a thread pool, where work items can be added and executed using the QueueUserWorkItem method.
- The Task class in .NET Framework is used for managing concurrent tasks, allowing tasks to be executed by creating a Task object and calling its Start method.
- Utilize the Parallel class: The Parallel class offers a set of static methods that can be used to concurrently execute tasks, such as the Parallel.For and Parallel.ForEach methods.
- You can use the async and await keywords to create asynchronous methods and manage asynchronous operations using the Task class.
These are several commonly used ways of multi-threading, developers can choose the appropriate method according to specific needs to implement concurrent operations.
