Thanks for your followup Adrian,
Yes, that's also why I'd prefered test through the page out of debugger (or
in debuggin mode...) :-)...
Have a good day!

| Thank you Steven you have been very helpfull!
|
| I modded your code to generate lots of threads per click, initialy they
seem
| to hang arround in the debugger. but i added some more code to remove
| stopped threads from the arraylist( i assume they were still reachable
| because of the reference in the arraylist). And now they are gone! GOOD.
|
| I went back to my simpler code and noticed that if i detach and reattach
the
| debugger to aspnet_wp.exe then the thread window get updated correctly,
so
| i've been lead a bit of a dance by the vs2003 debugger!
