MSDN Webcast: Use Multithreading to Create Better Responding Smart Client Applications (Level 200)  

Do you often find yourself looking for ways to improve the performance of your smart client applications? With the processing power available in today's personal computers, it makes sense to consider whether splitting up your application into multiple threads will improve performance. In this demonstration-loaded webcast, we show you how to create multithreaded applications using functionality that is provided in the Microsoft .NET Framework. Learn how to properly create and terminate threads, and how to update user interface controls properly from inside worker threads. Find out how to choose between Thread and Thread Pool objects, and learn when it is necessary to synchronize multiple threads with each other.
