Can you do multi-threading in web applications? I basically understand
how to do it in winforms but am not sure about it in web apps. Can
someone point me to to an exmaple or an article that shows how?
You should not attempt multithreading in web applications, except in very
limited circumstances. This has to do with the totally different lifecycle
between a web application and a winforms application. In particular, a Page
is an object which exists only for the duration of a request. When the
request is over, the page is gone. If you start a thread from that Page, it
should expect to execute after the page, and the request, are gone.
Leave multithreading out of web applications unless you have no other choice
or are an expert.
