Here are a few things you need to understand when working with threads:

• Threads are  light-weight processes that make multitasking within a single application possible.
• System.Threading is the base class used for threading
• Programmers don’t have to manage any threads explicitly – Threads are managed under the Common Language Runtime.
• When using threading with the combination of components, it is a good idea to use explicit definition and management of the thread.
• Threads are used in situations where you want to perform more then one task at a time.
• In the case of Synchronization, you may have to restrict the access to the resource to one thread at a time because you have limited amount of resourses, . In this situation, you may implement locking on the threading to over come the scenarios.
• An apartment is a logical container within a process and is used for objects that shares the same thread-access requirement. Objects in the apartment can all receive method call from any object in any thread in the apartment. A managed object (object created within CLR) is responsible for thread safety.
• Threads can be used in situations where we must wait for an event such as user input, a read from file, or receipt of data over the network. Freeing the memory to turn it a safe, and it makes our program to appear to run more quickly.
