Calling Thread.Suspend and it's affect on the target thread...

Quick question.

If i call Thread.suspend( ) on a thread does the thread which is being
suspended get any notification that it has been/is being suspended?

I am thinking i want the thread-to-be-suspended to log the fact that it is
being suspended.

Any ideas?

I suggest you don't use Thread.Suspend/Thread.Resume:
1. Both methods are obsolete in v2.0
2. You have no idea what the thread your are suspending is doing when you
suspend it's execution. Using these services are a recipt for deadlocks or
corrupted state, as it can suspend a thread that holds a managed lock, or is
actually executing a type constructor.

Use appropriate synchronization mechanisms based on Monitor and/or
Waithandle.

I have a multi-threaded C# console application that uses WMI (System.Management namespace) to make RPC calls to several servers (600+ ) and returns ScheduledJobs. The section of my code that performs the query is contained in a delegate function that I execute via a second thread. On 1 or 2 of the 600+ servers the query hangs. I've tried to use Thread.Join() coupled with a Thread.Abort() but this does not kill the thread. Based on...

My first thought was to call WorkerThread.Suspend but the help cautions against this (for good reason) because the caller has no control over where the thread actually stops, and it might have a lock pending, for example. I want to be able to stop a thread temporarily, and then optionally resume it or stop it for good.

Hi all, I have a loop in the thread checking for a particular service status, whenever the status changes to "stopped" a RaiseEvent is generated by thread and another function runs. At the same time the thread is suspended. When I try to resume it from the another function I have some problems. Thank you. Juky

I have a code which registers all threads with a thread dump class. At intervals this thread dump class will dump the stack trace of all threads. As calling StackTrace(threadtoDump) from a different thread other than the treadToDump the threadToDump must be suspended otherwise a ThreadStateException gets thrown. However under .NET 2.0 System.Threading.Thread.Suspend/Resume have been marked as obsolete with reference to better methods of...

Hi all, I have a thread which is running a long method in a third party component (witch is a com object and accessed via interop). I need to be able to suspend this thread. the thread.Suspend() method is deprecated in .NET 2.0 the AutoResetEvent and similar are not good for me since my thread is running an external method which I cannot modify to add such synch events. Is there any safe way to suspend such a thread?

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

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,...
