Hello All,

I was reading thru SQL Server documentation where I found that it uses
something called as a Fibre instead of usual Threads.

This brought up a question of what really is a Fibre and can we use
Fibre in our C# apps as well?

regards,
Abhishek.

Click to expand...

Fibers must be scheduled by the application.
There is yet no native support of fibers in C#.

You can use it via P/Invoke (but I never tried fibers).
