Book recommendation - Parallel programming for C#

Question

I'm looking for a book which contains information about the following topics:

• Thread synchronization methods
• Parallel Extension
• Asynchronouse programming (Invoke, BeginInvoke, BackgroundWorker, Threads, ...)

I've already knowledge about these topics but I'll refresh all these in deep and with focus on C#.

The book recommendations should be for C# / .NET 4.0 (not Java) and in English or German.

Thank you guys. Danny

Answer 1

Another nice document comes from Microsoft:

• Patterns for Parallel Programming: Understanding and Applying Parallel Patterns with the .NET Framework 4

Answer 2

I think Parallel Programming wiht .NET is exactly what you're looking for.

• You can read it online in the MSDN library but it is also available as hardcopy.
• It has a plenty of samples (that can be reused easily) in C#, VB and F#.

• To read more about the F# versions, you can read my blog post series

Even though it is not specific to parallel programming, C# in a nutshell 4 is a decent reference to understand these concepts
