Threading System in .NET

Introduction

Threading is a fundamental mechanism in .NET that allows multiple methods to execute concurrently, improving responsiveness and efficiency. It enables non-blocking operations, preventing threads from waiting for long-running tasks.

Key Concepts

• Concurrency: Allows multiple tasks to run simultaneously.
• Threads: Lightweight processes within a single OS.
• Synchronization: Ensures data consistency between threads.

The System.Threading.Thread Class

The `System.Threading.Thread` class provides the foundation for managing threads in .NET.

It offers methods for creating, starting, stopping, and controlling threads.

Example: Creating a Thread

Here's a simple example: Create a thread to perform a task.

```csharp // Create a thread System.Threading.Thread t = new System.Threading.Thread(); t.Start(); ```

Example: Working with a Thread

Let's see what happens if we keep a thread running.

A thread is running in the background.

The server continues to respond to client requests.
