TPL Parellel.ForWorker<T> completely broken

• 
  There is no such library System.Threading.dll in .Net framework from Microsoft. System.Threading is a namespace in mscorlib.dll. I have not found Parallel class in mscorlib.dll. What version of .Net framework which is installed in your system?

  I think this is an experimental thing, however, you might try View > Options, and then switch "Optimization" to ".NET 3.5" to see if that makes any difference.
  
  Hope that helps.

  In fact, the result is (a little bit) better if you revert to .NET 1.0 optimizations. This way, Reflector won't try to display anonymous delegates and will revert to a .NET 1.0 syntax, (with inner classes). But because these classes are generated, their name isn't C# compliant and it won't compile. In these sort of case, I use global renamings (replacing each invalid character in a name by an underscore, and hopping I won't have collisions).
  
  For instance here the same piece of code with .NET 1.0 optimization:
  

  using (Task task = Task.Create(new Action<object>(class2.<ForWorker>b__3), manager, options | TaskCreationOptions.SelfReplicating))
          {
              task.Wait();
          }
  

  
  And if you go to the <ForWorker>b__3 method, you can see this:
  

      int sharedIndex;
      int num3;
      int step = this.step;
      do
      {
          sharedIndex = this.sharedIndex;
          num3 = sharedIndex + step;
          if (num3 < sharedIndex)
          {
              num3 = 0x7fffffff;
          }
      }
  

  
  Better, isn't it?
  
  And for information, System.Threading.dll is new and not yet RTM, but so useful! It is the new Microsoft Parallel extensions for .NET
