Task Parallel System.Threading

Enables multiple tasks to cooperatively work on an algorithm in parallel through multiple phases.

Namespace:  System.Threading
Assembly:  System.Threading (in System.Threading.dll)

Syntax

Visual Basic (Declaration)
<ComVisibleAttribute(False)> _
<HostProtectionAttribute(SecurityAction.LinkDemand, Synchronization := True,  _
	ExternalThreading := True)> _
Public Class Barrier _
	Implements IDisposable
C#
[ComVisibleAttribute(false)]
[HostProtectionAttribute(SecurityAction.LinkDemand, Synchronization = true, 
	ExternalThreading = true)]
public class Barrier : IDisposable

Remarks

A group of tasks cooperate by moving through a series of phases, where each in the group signals it has arrived at the Barrier in a given phase and implicitly waits for all others to arrive. The same Barrier can be used for multiple phases.

All public and protected members of Barrier are thread-safe and may be used concurrently from multiple threads, with the exception of Dispose, which must only be used when all other operations on the Barrier have completed.
