System.Threading.ManualResetEvent provides an easy way to allow cross-thread communication and to let other threads know when something has completed.

From what I've seen, this is a great time to use the ManualResetEvent.

Has anyone ever heard that saying? One of my MBA professors said that it was the number one rule for managers. "You get what you reward." Basically, the idea is that if you want a team to work together, then you need to reward good team behavior. It is all about recognizing what true motivation is, because the reward has to be perceived as a reward. A nice pat on the back isn't a real reward for someone unless that pat on the back will motivate them.
