Multi-threaded Asynchronous Programming in C#. Async Database Calls. Part III. by Matthew Cochran on Jun 01, 2007
In my last couple articles we looked at basic ways to have long-running i/o bound process be handled by the ThreadPool using the asynchronous programming model. In this article we’ll take a look at coding async calls against SqlServer which really comes in handy in production environments where our database is on another machine.

C# Asynchronous, Multi Threaded Development... Digging In. Part II by Matthew Cochran on Jun 01, 2007
In this article we'll dig a bit deeper into what is actually happening when we use the asynchronous calls using C#. Just as in my previous article, we'll simulate a long running I/O bound process as if we were fetching records from a database, making a web service call or reading or writing from a file and see how we can write more performant code by letting the main thread continue on and not wait for the results.

Thread Synchronization using VS.NET 2005 by Sonu Chauhan on Jan 30, 2007
When two or more threads need access to a shared resource, they need some way to ensure that the resource will be used by only one thread at a time. The process by which this is achieved is called synchronization.
