Fibonacci Number Generator

This Windows Forms application generates Fibonacci numbers asynchronously using threads.

Description

This program allows users to input a positive integer and generates Fibonacci numbers up to the specified count in a ListBox control. The generation of Fibonacci numbers is performed asynchronously using Task-based asynchronous programming (TAP) and multithreading.

Features

• Asynchronously generates Fibonacci numbers.
• Validates user input to ensure it is a positive integer.
• Clears previous output before generating new Fibonacci numbers.

Controls

• btnGenerate: Button control to initiate the generation of Fibonacci numbers.
• txtNumber: TextBox control for the user to input the count of Fibonacci numbers to generate.
• listBoxOutput: ListBox control to display the generated Fibonacci numbers.

Usage

1. Enter a positive integer in the TextBox.
2. Click the "Generate" button.
3. The generated Fibonacci numbers will be displayed in the ListBox.

Implementation Details

• btnGenerate_Click: Event handler for the button click to start the Fibonacci number generation process. It validates user input and triggers the asynchronous generation of Fibonacci numbers.
• GenerateFibonacciNumbersAsync: Asynchronously generates Fibonacci numbers up to the specified count. It uses Task-based asynchronous programming (TAP) and locks the access to the ListBox control to ensure thread safety.
• GenerateFibonacciNumber: Recursive function to generate the nth Fibonacci number.

Technologies Used

• C#
• .NET Framework
• Windows Forms

Requirements

• .NET Framework installed on the system.
