Networking and Threading
Apress eBooks · 2006
SummaryAs you’ve seen, developing multithreaded network applications with VS .NET is a straightforward process. Much of the plumbing and infrastructure has already been abstracted away in the form of a comprehensive and OO set of classes. For even greater control over the network sockets, the System. Net.Socket offers plenty of rich functionality. We also experienced how simple it is to use .NET’s intrinsic support for asynchronous operations that run in the background worker thread without much code.We hope that you found this book both helpful and enjoyable. The extra features in .NET give the VB developer more power than they have ever had—threading is just one of them.
