Update: The survey is now closed. Thanks to all that participated! We’ve heard our customers’ frustrations with asynchronous programming and their call for improved support. We are hoping to better understand why and how you and your customers use asynchronous programming in .NET and how the support we provide for...
In the introductory post on CLR Binder (‘Understanding the Binder – Part 1’), we listed the set of steps that the CLR Binder follows, in order to locate an assembly and bind to it. On reading this, an obvious question comes to mind. What happens when all of these steps fail to locate the assembly? Does the binder simply quit...
Here is a survey to understand you think about .Net 4 Beta1, and to get a sense of the level of satisfaction, particularly while trying to upgrade existing managed applications to CLR 4, or while creating new CLR 4 applications. This survey should take you about 20 minutes to complete. Here is the link to the survey.

Take that interest a step further, and help us make the manycore era a successful reality by coming to work on the Parallel Computing Platform team at Microsoft.We currently have several positions avai...
Parallel Extensions offers a large variety of APIs supporting parallelism. During this blog the discussion will be focused on the methodology for making a choice between two of the new Parallel Extensions concepts: parallelism achieved by using Parallel.Invoke() and parallelism achieved through the use of Tasks. Suppose that you wa...
One of the ways in which the Task Parallel Library achieves good performance is through “work-stealing”. Work-stealing is supported in the .NET 4 ThreadPool for access through the Task Parallel Library and its default scheduler. This manifests as every thread in the ThreadPool having its own queue for work; when that thread ...
