How to close a thread

Hi.
In my program, I'm initiating a thread in (console application) by getting a signal from my client(windowsform)who hits a connect button and it works the way i want.....
Now i am trying to close this thread when my client clicks on the disconnect button but i'm unable to find a way.

Kindly suggest what should be done to close the thread and terminate the form.

Here is the code I tried

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 
//declaring a flag to keep a check on when the user hits disconnect
 
public int flag = 0;
 
//to start a thread  
 
private void button2_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)

        {

            readData = "Connected to Chat Server ...";

            msg();

            clientSocket.Connect("192.168.1.7", 5060);

            serverStream = clientSocket.GetStream();
 
            byte[] outStream = System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(textBox2.Text + "$" + textBox4.Text + "%");

            serverStream.Write(outStream, 0, outStream.Length);

            serverStream.Flush();
 
            Thread ctThread = new Thread(getMessage);

            ctThread.Start();

       if (flag == 10)

{

ctThread.Abort();

}

        }
 
// other processes
 
// When the client hits diconnect
 
  private void button3_Click_1(object sender, EventArgs e)

        {

            readData = "You have left the session";

            msg();
 
         // here i want to close the respective thread
 
flag = 10;

        }

The simplest way would be to declare ctThread as a private variable, assign it in button2_Click() and call it's Abort()-method in button3_Click_1()

e.g.

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 
class xy {

  Thread ctThread = null;
 
  private void button2_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) {

   // ...

   ctThread = new Thread(getMessage);

   ctThread.Start();

   // ...

  }
 
private void button3_Click_1(object sender, EventArgs e) {

   // ...

   if(ctThread != null)

     ctThread.Abort();

   // ...

  }

}
