anyone know any good threading articles? I don't know all the good places
to search.

I'd like to find an article that can discuss passing variables to a thread
and getting info back that updates the UI. Maybe ones that talk about the
harder stuff like invokerequired. thanks!
 
what exactly is threading i hear a lot about it but have no i dea as to what
it is or it does.

think of it like this... a processor on a cmoputer can only do one thing at
once, a OS has something called a scheduler that determains what task can be
performed at that instance, a thread pretty much is an instance of a task
that you want to run. so you can have many threads (tasks you want to run at
once) running because the scheduler will pick which one needs to be
processed at that point in time... it pretty much makes it possible to look
like the computer is doing more then one thing at once. A single threaded
application can only do one thing at once, multi threaded will use the OS's
scheduler to perform multiple tasks while others are being processed also
(although not at the same time, it creates the apperance they are being done
at once) if you have a multi cpu system, you can actually do many things at
once with out the simulation of it from the scheduler in the os.
