Parallel Class (System.Threading)

.NET Framework Class Library

Parallel Class

[This documentation is for preview only, and is subject to change in later releases. Blank topics are included as placeholders.]

Provides support for parallel loops and regions.

Namespace: System.Threading
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)

Syntax

Visual Basic (Declaration)

<HostProtectionAttribute(SecurityAction.LinkDemand, Synchronization := True,  _
    ExternalThreading := True)> _
Public NotInheritable Class Parallel

Visual Basic (Usage)

You do not need to declare an instance of a static class in order to access its members.

[HostProtectionAttribute(SecurityAction.LinkDemand, Synchronization = true, 
    ExternalThreading = true)]
public static class Parallel

Visual C++

[HostProtectionAttribute(SecurityAction::LinkDemand, Synchronization = true, 
    ExternalThreading = true)]
public ref class Parallel abstract sealed

JScript

public final class Parallel

[<AbstractClassAttribute>]
[<SealedAttribute>]
[<HostProtectionAttribute(SecurityAction.LinkDemand, Synchronization = true, 
    ExternalThreading = true)>]
type Parallel =  class end

Remarks

Note
The HostProtectionAttribute attribute applied to this type or member has the following Resources property value: Synchronization \| ExternalThreading. The HostProtectionAttribute does not affect desktop applications (which are typically started by double-clicking an icon, typing a command, or entering a URL in a browser). For more information, see the HostProtectionAttribute class or SQL Server Programming and Host Protection Attributes.

The System.Threading..::.Parallel class provides library-based data parallel replacements for common operations such as for loops, for each loops, and execution of a set of statements.
