Question

I have a method which loads data from 2 regions. Currently its processes region1 and then processes region 2. So its single thread. I would need to do them so its simultaneous. Here is the curent code. Please advice what do I need to do.

enter code here

public override object RProcess()            
{            
      string queueName = Config.AppSettings["MQSIInboundQueueName"];

        string Region1 = Config.AppSettings["Region1"];
        string Region2 = Config.AppSettings["Region2"];

        string returnMessage = string.Empty;
        if (Region1.Trim().Length > 0)
        {                
            returnMessage = ProcessMessage(string.Format(queueName, Region1));
            Logger.Log(returnMessage);
        }

        if (Region2.Trim().Length > 0)
        {
            returnMessage = ProcessMessage(string.Format(queueName, Region2));
            Logger.Log(returnMessage);
        }

        return null;
    }

In addition to @Drew Marsh answer here if you are using older version of .net, you can invoke every operation in new thread, using Thread class or ThreadPool.QueueUserWorkItem

//example using Thread class
new Thread(() =>
{
    if (Region1.Trim().Length > 0)
    {                
        returnMessage = ProcessMessage(string.Format(queueName, Region1));
        Logger.Log(returnMessage);
    }
}) { IsBackground = true }.Start();

//example using ThreadPool
ThreadPool.QueueUserWorkItem(new WaitCallback((_) =>
{
    if (Region2.Trim().Length > 0)
    {
        returnMessage = ProcessMessage(string.Format(queueName, Region2));
        Logger.Log(returnMessage);
    }
}));

Anyway if you are updating Region1 or Region2 form any other place in the application, then you should consider using synchronization mechanism to access them here such as lock..
