Beginners question on threading

[jvcoach23]

I had turned to the multithreading because I had written a little perfmon utilty that recorded performance monitor data to a sql server. some of the perfmon counters have to be run twice before they will report correct information... so I had created a console app that spawned off other console apps to record the data. I thought if I could get a multi threaded app to work..it would be a cleaner approach.. I'm a sql guy by trade.. so watching locks in sql and coding against getting them but keeping transaction soild I understand.. this vb world is new and getting the best of me. :)
