Number of threads in a .Net Application

Hi Vijaye,

Even that little tiny application requires .NET runtime in order to work.
CLR is not as tiny as your sample and I'm not surprised that it runs 3
threads. On my machine the threads are three not four if it could be any
consolation :) .

I create a test app in C# as below:

using System
namespace Test1
{
class Test2
{
static void Main()
{
Console.ReadLine();
}
}
}

When I compile and run this app, I see this "tiny" app, running 4 threads.
Accounting one for the garbage collector, what are the other two threads and what are their functions?

1. Unmanaged thread used to load/run/unload the CLR .
2. Managed thread running Main() in a default domain.
3. Managed Finalizer thread.
4. Unmanaged Debugger thread (optional).
