How many threads should I create?

Is there a systematic way to determine the number of threads to create? Currently I've been setting the number of threads according to the number of processors on my machine i.e. int numberOfThreads = Enviornment.ProcessorCount.

what's the correct way to determine the number of threads needed to handle a particular task?

What task? It depends on the task.
