This is not a topic for just one question and answer. And -- C++ or C++/CLI? -- they are very different in this respect.

I have to agree with SA - this is far too big a subject for a Quick Answer, even if you ignore the language specific parts.

Time to start reading: Wikipedia[^] does a good overview of threading and what threads are. For more detail, most good development teaching books devote a chapter (or three) to teh subject.

As I say, this is not a topic for just one question and answer. Please try to start here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thread_%28computing%29[^],
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multi-core_%28computing%29[^],
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thread_pool_pattern[^],
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thread_safety[^],
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thread_synchronization[^].

Now, managed threading for .NET:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/3e8s7xdd%28v=vs.110%29.aspx[^],
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.threading.aspx[^].

This is pretty long way to go. Don't expect some simple cookbook recipes or a quick conceptual fix — they would not be helpful at this stage. This is more of education than of quick training in some techniques. The only one conceptual fix for you would be this: this topic is not covered by a swift cavalry attack. :-)
