# Multithreading

In C# multithreading is a way to implement multitasking.

##### Example

```
  for (int i = 1; i <= 5;i++)    {      //creating thread for display() method      Thread t = new Thread(new ThreadStart(display));       //starting thread.      t.Start();    }       int i =0;         public void display()   {    i++;      //displaying messagebox.    MessageBox.Show(i.ToString());              }
```

Here we can see that all five message boxes are displayed. But if we had not used

\

threading then only one message box will be displayed and second box will be

\

displayed only after clicking on OK button of first Message Box. All five message

\

boxes are displayed simultaneously as different thread are created for display()

\

method called from loop.
