Remarks

You should use this class instead of ThreadPool.QueueUserWorkItem directly because the work items that you enqueue to an instance of InOrderThreadPoolQueue are run in the order that they were queued. This is useful if you want to use the ThreadPool to work asynchronously, but order is important. For example, if you queue two work items, A and B, work item B will not start until work item A has finished.

Disposing of an InOrderThreadPoolQueue object cancels any work items that have not run, but a work item that has already started cannot be stopped.

Thread Safety

Any public static ( Shared in Visual Basic) members of this type are thread safe. Any instance members are not guaranteed to be thread safe.
