ARCast - Manufacturing Industry Architecture

Several years ago I climbed a high mountain to meet a guru atop. He promised that if I would spend months studying his ways that one day I too would become a threading master. I would learn the ways of threads, thread pools, the mutex, the semaphore and lock. I would one day learn to avoid the dreaded race condition and emerge as one of the few who understand the mysteries of threading. After a moment I said… nah – I’ll just call Jeff Richter.

Hi Jeff (& Ron ),
I found the show very interesting, and I hope you have time for a few questions.
1) So to call a web service using async I/O I just use one of the Begin methods, and thats it? I dont have to launch a thread or anything?
2) What do I do for other resources like Files or a COM method call?
Best regards,
