Anyone care to explain threads

JamesJeffery · 02-07-2010, 01:03 PM

Im serious stuck on threads.

All I need the thread to do is call a function, and update the UI, nothing major but I cant seem to work out which is the best way. I'm using C#.

Any ideas

I used to face the same problem as well. I found an easy to understand explanation here: Accessing Controls from Worker Threads - VBForums

Post no.3 makes everything clicked for me.

I figured out how to create them, but programming multi threaded apps is difficult. Especially scrapers. From what I can gather threads need to be chained.

Like I got a program that scrapes sites. I gather the list of sites in 1 thread, then set off 20 threads to scrape the 1k+ sites. Loop around them.

Ill crack it eventually.
