What are some examples of threading in C#?

In C#, threading allows you to run multiple operations concurrently. For example, you can use the Thread class to create a new thread.

Can you show me a simple code example?

Sure! Here's a basic example:

using System;
using System.Threading;

class Program
{
    static void Main()
    {
        Thread thread = new Thread(WriteNumbers);
        thread.Start();
        thread.Join(); // Wait for the thread to finish
    }

    static void WriteNumbers()
    {
        for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++)
        {
            Console.WriteLine(i);
            Thread.Sleep(100); // Simulate work
        }
    }
}

What is the difference between Thread and Task?

Thread is a lower-level construct for managing threads, while Task is part of the Task Parallel Library (TPL) and provides a higher-level abstraction for asynchronous programming.

When should I use Task instead of Thread?

You should use Task when you want to take advantage of the TPL's features like easier error handling, cancellation, and better resource management.
