The only words of caution that I have are to be very familiar with Control.Invoke() because any time you're on a background thread and you want to talk to the main thread, you'll have to invoke on a control that belongs to the main thread or you'll get a CrossThreadException (I think it's actually an IllegalOperationException with a cross-thread message, I can't remember).  WPF controls have the same Invoke() method through the DispatcherObject.Dispatcher property.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Also, that module might be tightly coupled with LINQ for parallel queries, and we don't currently support LINQ within StrataFrame, so you might have to explicitly run the queries.</description><pubDate>Thu, 06 Dec 2007 09:35:59 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>Ben Chase</dc:creator></item><item><title>Parallel Extensions to the .NET framework 3.5 CTP</title><link>http://forum.strataframe.net/Topic12904-14-1.aspx</link><description>Chaps,&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Microsoft have released a CTP called Parallel Extensions to the .NET framework 3.5 CTP which is to ease the ability to take advantage of multi-processor or multi-core computing environments.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I am thinking of trying out this library, even though its still only a CTP, does anyone have any perceptions of issues that I may hit while using it in conjunction with Strataframe, or should I just not try it yet?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;thanks&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Geoff</description><pubDate>Wed, 05 Dec 2007 04:59:04 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>Geoff Hirst</dc:creator></item></channel></rss>
