Visual Studio 2010, still in Beta 1, offers two new debugging windows: Parallel Stacks and Parallel Tasks. Using them, it is easier to understand the new Parallel Extensions offered by .NET 4.
In my previous post Tasks Are Not Threads in .NET 4 Beta 1, I began talking about the differences between tasks and threads when working with .NET 4. The easiest way to understand the relationship between the new tasks and the underlying threads in .NET 4 is working with simple parallelized code snippets and running them step-by-step using the new debugging windows.
