Hi,
I am writing a small program, that makes use of threads. Now in on
of the threads I have a critical section, where I am using the Monitor
to handle this.
*** Thread_1 *** started
for(...)
{
....doing some work
Monitor.Enter(T hread_1);
....doing a critical job
Monitor.Exit(Th read_1);
....doing some work
}
*** Another Thread....when pressing a button,
Thread1.Abort() ;
While Thread_1 is in the critical section, and I press the button to
abort, in some circumstances, the critical section is being interupted
without being finished.
Does the Thread.Abort() have that behaviour. If yes how can I get
around this problem?
Thanks in Advance 2 2027
Abort terminates the current thread where it is as far as i know. You should
perhaps have a "isRunning" variable that the threads check against to see if
they are required to run or exit. This way you can determine when they are
able to exit.
Secondly, I'd not use Monitor but lock on a local object.
As a suggestion for multi-threading, read Jon Skeets article about it: http://www.yoda.arachsys.com/csharp/threads/
Hope that helps.
Dan.

You can get around it by not using Thread.Abort.
You should never call Thread.Abort unless you are aborting your current thread or taking down the AppDomain - you have just witnessed some of its evils. Even using try ... finally (or lock() which is equivalent) is no guarantee of correctness.
First make sure you wrap the monitor access in a try finally or use the lock keyword which does that for you. Even better use Ian Griffith's Timedlock class [1] which allows the waiting thread to timeout rather than potentially get stuck in an unrecoverable deadlock.
Secondly use a boolean flag to indicate the thread should terminate and if the thread is blocking then call Thread.Interrup t to wake it up

Greetings, all! I've been pondering the pitfalls of aborting a
secondary thread in a service app I'm writing (VB, fx v1.1).
Everything I've read so far pretty much dissuades one from aborting one
thread from another, and I'm almost at the point of acquiescing but
curiosity leads me on.
Below is a procedure template that I wonder might guarantee behavior
during an abort, and I'd like to get some feedback in case it's just
plain nonsense.

I'm having some weird threading issues.. almost at random, if I dare change

I'm using a thread to receive data from the network, that I suspend and
resume whenver needed. In order to properly shut down the program every
thread has to be aborted. So, I override OnClosing(CancelEventArgs e) in my

In a multi-threaded application, say a worker thread makes an asynchronous

an exception is thrown, can it be caught?

Hello,
I am trying to write a multithread program that simulates producers and

It's a console application. My implementation is working with Semaphores
to synchornize everything. I think it's synchornized...

Hi to all.
I have a little problem. I'm working with threads, and I need to abort

When I do this, I put a special value in the queue (like None) and in

Threads can also be marked as "daemon threads" (see docs for

only "daemon threads" are left.

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