[RESOLVED] [02/03] Multithreading a Form

[ProphetBeal]

What I want to do is create a ThreadPool and assign that pool of thread to a specific form. I don’t know if this is possible, but any help would be greatly appreciated. Even if you can’t give me specifics, I point in the right direction would help.

Like any other object, a ThreadPool is available anywhere you have a reference to it. If you create one within a form and assign it to a private variable then it's not accessible from outside the form. If you create one outside a form you can pass it in by assigning it to a property or passing it to a method argument. It is still accessible from outside the form though, as long as you have a reference to it outside the form. This is all true of any object, not just ThreadPools.

Thanks for the info jmc...I feel really dumb for overlooking the obvious answer . Just 1 more quick question; how many threads are in a Threadpool?
