How to release a thread from a Monitor blocking?

I’m writing a thread wrapper for a safe thread termination by using stop event.
Whenever the thread stop event is signaled, I want to release the thread in
case it’s blocked on Monitor.Enter() or Monitor.Wait().
Note that when I’m writing this code, I do not know on what object the
Monitor will block on.
Is there a way to release the thread from the Monitor blocking except using
Thread.Interrup t() (Any kind of wrapping is acceptable) ???

Sharon,

Interrupt is the only thing that will stop the blocking. The only other
thing I could think of that would stop it would be to actually find the
object that is currently holding the lock, and release it on the thread that
is holding it. However, that doesn't guarantee that your thread will wake
up, because there might be other threads trying to lock on that same object.

Hope this helps.

Why do you not want to use Interrupt in this situation - thats exactly what its there for

So you have this problem, and you decide to use threads to solve it... System is Python 2.3.3 on Solaris 9. I'm using the classic Python thread model. Main thread puts stuff into a Queue.Queue() and worker threads get stuff out of it and do their thing. On occaision, I get an exception in the main thread when it tries to put something into the Queue.

Hi All, In following example, while playing file, if thread goes in WaitSleepJoin state, due to Thread.Sleep method. Now I want to suspend thread by clicking on cmdSuspend button. I have written following code, which doesn't suspend it. Even I tried it by calling m_PlayThread.Interrupt() method which suspends the thread but cannot resume it again by calling Resume method. Any kind help will be appreciated.

Hi All I am using interop blocking COM call from within a worker thread. This is a part of Windows Application. I find that if I remove the blocking COM call and instead use an infinite while loop, the Windows App works fine. However, when I use the blocking COM call from withing the infinite while loop, the Windows Application freezes. Can anyone please tell me what the problem could be? Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi all, I'm trying to to figure out this stuff, and I've got part of the trick in the code below, which updates a textbox with data from another thread. What I'd like to do is put a Pause button on my form which basically pauses the ReadCsv() method wherever it's at. Obviously, the Pause button would need to be responsive to the user during while ReadCsv() is churning. How do I do this? Thanks for any pointers (heh-heh),
