ProcessAndThread Demo

This project demonstrates fundamental concepts of multithreading and process management in C# using .NET Framework 4.8. It includes practical examples of thread creation, synchronization, race conditions, and process/thread inspection.

Features

  • Process Management: Launch and inspect processes and their threads.
  • Thread Basics: Create threads using named methods, delegates, and lambda expressions.
  • Thread Lifecycle: Demonstrate thread states and lifecycle management.
  • Thread-Local Storage: Show how each thread has its own stack.
  • Shared Data Section: Illustrate race conditions and thread-safe techniques using lock and Interlocked.
  • Race Condition Patterns: Examples of Check-Then-Act, Read-Modify-Write, and Initialization Races.
  • Shared OS Resources: Demonstrate sharing OS-level resources between threads.

Getting Started

Prerequisites

  • Visual Studio 2022 or later
  • .NET Framework 4.8

Running the Project

  1. Clone the repository.
  2. Open the AsyncDemoSolution.sln under folder AsyncDemoSolution in Visual Studio.
  3. Set ProcessAndThread as the startup project.
  4. Build and run (F5).

You can enable or comment out different demo methods in Program.cs to explore various threading and process scenarios.
