Killing all thread when closing applications.

Hi,

I spawns a number of background threads while creating a windows forms
application. I noticed that when I quit the application or calling
Application.Exi t, it hasn't really stop. Is there a quick way to say
"terminate all threads and quit"?

thanks,

Set property isBackground to true.

Foreground and Background Threads
A foreground thread runs indefinitely, while a background thread
terminates once the last foreground thread has stopped. You can use
the IsBackground property to determine or change the background
status of a thread.

Hi,

I assumed he does this already (... a number of background threads).

As someone else pointed out, make sure all your background threads are
marked as background. When the appdomain is exiting the runtime goes to
great lengths to unwind all threads and terminate. One thing to watch for
are threads that are blocked in unmanaged code - the runtime has no easy way
of forcing them to terminate.

Other then that there is no quick way to terminate all the threads.

Ah yes, after some debugging I found out that there are references to
unmanaged code threads that are still running.

VS 2003, vb.net ... Is there an easy way to kill from the main form all threads running ? Is there a thread collection to iterate through to kill each one? I know each thread's name, so could I kill it via the name? The trick is I am not in any of these threads I am trying to kill. None of these threads on there own ever die (they are always running in the background). I think I could set up an array when the threads are started,...

Hello, I've got an issue where a process in a third party application has a dll which while exiting sort of freezes and runs away with processor cycles. i've written a block of code so that I can drill down into the process, and get the offending Thread's ID (since the only ones that will have the issue have higher User processor Time). But, I can't figure out how to have my .Net app 'kill' or 'suspend' a Thread

I can't see that approach scaling particularly well but I guess there's no choice. Does anyone think it likely that the threading...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
