c# - In .NET, what thread will Events be handled in?

I have attempted to implement a producer/consumer pattern in c#. I have a consumer thread that monitors a shared queue, and a producer thread that places items onto the shared queue. The producer thread is subscribed to receive data...that is, it has an event handler, and just sits around and waits for an OnData event to fire (the data is being sent from a 3rd party api). When it gets the data, it sticks it on the queue so the consumer can handle it.

When the OnData event does fire in the producer, I had expected it to be handled by my producer thread. But that doesn't seem to be what is happening. The OnData event seems as if it's being handled on a new thread instead! Is this how .net always works...events are handled on their own thread? Can I control what thread will handle events when they're raised? What if hundreds of events are raised near-simultaneously...would each have its own thread?

After re-reading the question, I think I understand the problem now. You've basically got something like this:

class Producer
{
    public Producer(ExternalSource src)
    {
        src.OnData += externalSource_OnData;
    }

    private void externalSource_OnData(object sender, ExternalSourceDataEventArgs e)
    {
        // put e.Data onto the queue
    }
}

And then you've got a consumer thread that pulls stuff off that queue. The problem is that the OnData event is fired by your ExternalSource object - on whatever thread it happens to be running on.

C# events are basically just an easy-to-use collection of delegates and "firing" an event just causes the runtime to loop through all of the delegates and fire them one at a time.

So your OnData event handler is getting called on whatever thread the ExternalSource is running on.
