Right on. 5.

Agree, my 5, but also a Parallel network. It is build on top of threads anyway, but provides additional and very different functionality.

If you're using .net 4.0 then I would prefer to use of the new Parallel framework

Yes, the new TPL in .NET 4 is amazing. My 5.

Sergey Alexandrovich Kryukov 8-Aug-11 8:36am

Good point, my 5, but System.Threading.Thread and thread pool no to be forgotten.
