Title: "Asynchronous Programming with .NET"
Description: It wasn't very long ago that only hard-core system developers worried about multithreading. Today, with multiprocessor machines becoming commonplace, nonconcurrent applications are at a disadvantage, unable to benefit from the computing power available to them. The .NET Framework 1.0 and 1.1 offered useful and powerful tools to help you build multithreaded functionality into your programs, but it's even better with the .NET Framework 2.0. From new synchronization primitives to the BackgroundWorker component to ThreadPool enhancements, this session will take you on a tour of what's new with threading in the .NET Framework 2.0 and show you how to change your current applications to help them make better use of multiple processors.
