project to learn multithreading 1

[voodoojon]

Hi everyone,

I am trying to teach myself C#, and I want to learn how to use C#'s multithreading capacities. I have looked on the web for example projects, but they are all incredibly simple, for example a console app which creates a few threads, starts them and outputs some text. This still doesn't really give me a feel for how threads are used in real applications that do useful things. Can anyone give me an idea for a project I can create where I will need to manage threads properly to make it sucessful.

Thanks in advance,

Jon

One day I will find a signature worthy of this space. That day has not yet come.

Generally, you should try to keep threads simple.

If you want something a bit complex, try listening to traffic on a port on a separate thread and when a message is received, pass that message to a different socket on a different thread.

Suddenly you have a type of routing system.
