Advanced multithreaded UIs for WPF in .Net 4.0
Multithreading is increasingly important now that most system have multiple processors in them. The user also expects user interfaces to stay responsive while calculations happen in the background as well as take advantage of all of the hardware in their machines. With the new Task Parallel Library that is part of .Net 4.0, multithreaded programming has changed radically for the better. I will cover how to integrate these new classes into a multithreaded Mandelbrot set viewer that incorporates several WPF custom controls and utilizes the WriteableBitmap WPF class for image display.
