Hello,

I'm new to threading and want to do something similar to this question:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/100291/speed-up-loop-using-multithreading-in-c-question

However, I'm not sure if that solution is the best one for me as I want them to keep running and never finish. (I'm also using .net 3.5 rather than 2.0 as for that question.)

I want to do something like this:

foreach (Agent agent in AgentList)
{
    // I want to start a new thread for each of these
    agent.DoProcessLoop();
}

---

public void DoProcessLoop()
{
    while (true)
    {
        // do the processing

        // this is things like check folder for new files, update database
        // if new files found
    }
}

Would a ThreadPool be the best solution or is there something that suits this better?

Thanks,

Annelie
