A common strategy is to use worker threads to perform time-consuming or time-critical tasks that do not require many of the resources used by other threads. Naturally, some resources in your program must be accessed by multiple threads. For these cases, the <xref:System.Threading> namespace provides classes for synchronizing threads. These classes include <xref:System.Threading.Mutex>, <xref:System.Threading.Monitor>, <xref:System.Threading.Interlocked>, <xref:System.Threading.AutoResetEvent>, and <xref:System.Threading.ManualResetEvent>.

You can use some or all these classes to synchronize the activities of multiple threads, but some support for threading is supported by the C# language. For example, the [Lock Statement](../../../../csharp/language-reference/keywords/lock-statement.md) provides synchronization features through implicit use of <xref:System.Threading.Monitor>.

> Beginning with the [!INCLUDE[net_v40_long](~/includes/net-v40-long-md.md)], multithreaded programming is greatly simplified with the <xref:System.Threading.Tasks.Parallel?displayProperty=nameWithType> and <xref:System.Threading.Tasks.Task?displayProperty=nameWithType> classes, [Parallel LINQ (PLINQ)](../../../../standard/parallel-programming/parallel-linq-plinq.md), new concurrent collection classes in the <xref:System.Collections.Concurrent?displayProperty=nameWithType> namespace, and a new programming model that is based on the concept of tasks rather than threads. For more information, see [Parallel Programming](../../../../../docs/standard/parallel-programming/index.md).
