first time multithreading an app

Question

ive never multithreaded an app before. i have a bot class. this bot is supposed to navigate its way through a corridor. the corridor is drawn onto a forum. all the bots are created on the forum given various parameters added to an arraylist and their processing methods are called through a loop. im trying to time the duration of processing for each bot but the last bot always has the accumulated time for all bots. if i multithread i imagine i could get rid of this. can anyone explain how i might go about this?

1) If the processing method (in bot class) has signature void xxxx() (or it can be changed to this form) you can use System.Threading namespace: ThreadStart threadDelegate = new ThreadStart(bot.xxxx); Thread newThread = new Thread(threadDelegate); newThread.Start(); call code above in a loop for every bot in list 2)if you need pass parameters to process method You can call processing methods of each bot asynchronously using method ISynchronizeInvoke.BeginInvoke more information can be found on msdn http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/cpguide/html/cpovrasynchronousprogrammingoverview.asp I hope you'll find this informations helpful
