When writing reactive applications using F# asynchronous workflows, it is important to run some operations on the right thread. User interface elements are accessible only on GUI threads and CPU-intensive computations should be done on a background thread. This article describes an extension of F# asynchronous workflows that guarantees correct use of threads using types. (more)

F# asynchronous workflows are mainly used for non-blocking I/O and concurrency, but they provide nice abstraction for writing user interface interactions. This article shows an Silverlight example and explains how F# makes it easy to write code that avoids blocking the user-interface when performing CPU-intensive processing. (more)

Asynchronous programming used to be handled using threading in C#. If you had a process you wished to run asynchronously then you just opened up a thread, ran the process on it and then closed it down once the process was complete. Threading however introduces its own set of problems, managing the threads can be tricky and managing the resources applied to them is also a headache. The Visual Studio Async CTP adds  two new keywords to C# –  await and async which vastly simplify converting asynchronous pr... (more)
