The ReaderWriterLock class is used to synchronize access to a resource. At any given time, it allows concurrent read access to multiple (essentially unlimited) threads, or it allows write access fo...

System.Threading.SpinLock provides a mutual exclusion lock primitive where a thread trying to acquire the lock waits in a loop repeatedly checking until the lock becomes available.

The volatile keyword is a convenience keyword for those who need to access member variables of a class or structure in multithreaded conditions.

The Timer class provides a way to execute methods at specified intervals and it cannot be inherited.

The purpose of Wait and Pulse is to provide a simple signaling mechanism: Wait blocks until it receives notification from another thread; Pulse provides that notification.

WaitHandle provides a class definition for three other classes, Mutex, ManualResetEvent and AutoResetEvent, and provides means for your own objects to inherit synchronization functionality.

The Collection classes in the System.Collections namespace are not threadsafe and their behavior is “undefined” when collisions occur. This program illustrates the issue.

Sometime application need to perform long running tasks and yet it should be responsive. Or we need to execute multiple task simultaneously to boost the performance of the application.

A race condition occurs when two or more threads are able to access shared data and they try to change it at the same time.

A deadlock is a situation where an application locks up because two or more activities are waiting for each other to finish.

The semaphore class works similar to the Monitor and Mutex class but in this you can set a limit on how many threads have access to a critical area.

A monitor is a mechanism for ensuring that only one thread at a time may be running a certain piece of code (critical section).

Threads are executed based on their priority levels. High priority threads always get more processor time than their counterparts.

We know that every thread has a name property that you can set for the benefit of debugging. Thread’s name is displayed in the threads window and debug location toolbar.

A process is a program that is running on your computer. This can be anything from a small background task, such as a spell-checker or system events handler to a full-blown application like Interne...

In this article let's see about Parallel.Invoke method.

There was a requirement that the application can’t run more than one instance, and if already running then show the message to the user and set that window as active. Here we will see how to do that.

In this article I will explain you about the Diagnostics and Process in C#.

In this article we will see one of the bad practices developers always do.

PLINQ is a welcome addition to the .NET 4.0 framework, allowing us to operate on collection elements in parallel. This article examines the performance improvements of PLINQ over LINQ when doing h...
