<p>I am looking to build a multi-threaded text import  facility (generally CSV into SQL Server 2005) and would like to do this in VB.NET but I am not against C#.  I have VS 2008 trial and just dont know where to begin.  Can anyone point me in the direction of where I can look at and play with the source of a <em>VERY</em> simple multi-threaded application for VS 2008?</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

This is a great article:

In particular:
```
```
Dim t As Thread
t = New Thread(AddressOf Me.BackgroundProcess)
t.Start()

Private Sub BackgroundProcess()
   Dim i As Integer = 1
   Do While True
        ListBox1.Items.Add("Iterations: " + i)
        i += 1
        Thread.CurrentThread.Sleep(2000)
   Loop
End Sub
```
```
