It is very easy to create threads and start them in .Net.
However, the way it provides messaging between threads is a little
confusing to me or I might be just over analysing it. I could use
monitor like the critical section variables to protect the global
memory structure, but how I do I notify Child Thread 2 that there is a
message waiting in the Queue.

What is the recomended way to do this in .Net?

Use a ManualResetEvent. Have thread 2 wait on it. In thread 1, when a new
item is placed on the queue, set the event. This will Cause thread 2 to
wake up. Then thread 2 can do it's job and process all the items in the
queue. When it's done it can reset the ManualResetEvent and wait until
woken up again.
