Threading in C#
Posted by Mikhail Esteves under: C#; Tips .
C# supports parallel execution of code through multithreading. A thread is an independent execution path, able to run simultaneously with other threads.
A C# program starts in a single thread created automatically by the CLR and operating system (the “main” thread), and is made multi-threaded by creating additional threads. Here’s a simple example and its output:
class ThreadTest { static void Main() { Thread t = new Thread (WriteY); t.Start(); // Run WriteY on the new thread while (true) Console.Write ("x"); // Write 'x' forever }static void WriteY() { while (true) Console.Write ("y"); // Write 'y' forever } }
