In C# what is the difference between manual reset event, autoresetevent. Also when should one use the same. What is difference between setting autoresetevent to true or false.

For the <code>ManualResetEvent</code>, once you've called <code>Set()</code>, you have to deliberately call <code>Reset()</code> to put it back in an unsignaled state such that calls to <code>WaitOne()</code> will block. This is not necessary for <code>AutoResetEvent</code>. The documentation is pretty good on MSDN for ManualResetEvent and AutoResetEvent.
