Thanks again, I'll take note of these.

I can't see anything on MSDN indicating thread safety for this API. For the Publisher interface at least, it's generally a case that you'll set up the publisher, register a notification callback interface, and call Publish, which one would assume you'd do on a single thread. The callbacks from WSD will almost always be executed on a different thread (so the client will need to ensure thread safety there), and the client may then call other Publisher functions (e.g., MatchProbe).

Internally the publisher listening threads, which will execute the callback functions (patches still to be submitted) are thread-safe.

Thanks,

Owen
