What books should I read and reference to? THANKS! Arjay September 13th, 2007, 04:23 AM A good start is to read DLLs, Processes and Threads (http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms682584.aspx) in msdn if you haven't already. The processes and threads link discusses these topics. For events check out the topic under the Synchronization section. Tasks aren't really related to the other topics. When you mention tasks, I think of Scheduled Tasks (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/308569). valikac September 13th, 2007, 09:01 AM Process and thread are core concepts of operating system architecture. Typically, the operating system creates a new process when you open an application and each process contains at least one thread - main thread. Event and tasks are similar. They rely on a predefined factor, for example, time. valikac codeguru.com
