Question

I have the following code:

foreach (XmlNode xn in xnList)
{
 String NAME = xn["name"].InnerText;
}

I want to launch each loop in parallel. How can I do this? I thought that I could use the following method, but I can’t figure out the way to make it work:

        ParallelOptions parOptions = new ParallelOptions();
        parOptions.MaxDegreeOfParallelism = 4; //only up to 5 threads allowed.
        Parallel.ForEach(xnList.AsEnumerable(), parOptions, xn=>
        { 
         String NAME = xn["name"].InnerText;
        }

Answer 1

I came up with this solution:

        var parallelLoop1 = xnList.Count;
        Parallel.For(0, parallelLoop1, index =>
        {
         String NAME = xnList[index]["name"].InnerText;
        }
