This chapter takes a look at improving your code's performance using multithreading and parallel programming. In this chapter, we will cover the following recipes:
- Creating and aborting a low-priority background thread
- Increasing the maximum thread pool size
- Creating multiple threads
- Locking one thread until the contended resources are available
- Invoking parallel calls to methods using Parallel.Invoke
- Using a parallel foreach loop
- Cancelling a parallel foreach loop
- Catching errors in parallel foreach loops
- Debugging multiple threads
