Re: Windows Forms advice

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

A Windows Forms application runs in a Single-Threaded Apartment model, with
a single thread handling the execution of the UI. Any threading you do will
have to be done by non-UI classes. Putting various forms into different
assemblies has no effect on the application, though.

I had the same problem once. Fixed it using the same solution.

Hi,
This is a very general question. I am about to embark on
developing a new application (Windows Forms based). All the business
logic, external interfaces etc have already been developed and are
available as ready to use libraries.
This application is going to be multi-threaded. Is it recommended
to have each of the different forms or at least a couple of related
forms packaged into separate libraries. Is such a packaging going to
have any effect on the multi-threaded nature of the application. This
is the first time I am using threading and I need to use threads to
display the status of some of the devices in the system in real time.
Any recommendations and any advice is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
AM
