Hi,
I have a VB Windows Forms app that has a single form ('MainForm'). MainForm
has a shared (C#: static) class variable that holds a reference to a newly
created Thread. This thread does some work and then supends itself
(Thread.Current Thread.Suspend( )). When the user closes the MainForm window
the application does not quit since it has one thread that is not finished
(the one which is suspended).
What is the suggested way of quitting an application that might have
suspended and/or waiting (sleeping) threads?
Thanks for any ideas,
Guido

If you set the thread's IsBackground property to True it will not
prevent the application from terminating.
That said, why do you suspend the thread rather than let it finish? If
it has to be suspended, can't you set a flag at shutdown to indicate
that the thread should finish and then wake it up?

Don't suspend a thread use a wait primitive like an event instead.
BTW. Thread.Suspend will go away in v2.0.
Willy.
Thanks for your ideas.
I changed my code from Thread.CurrentT hread.Suspend() to
Thread.Sleep(Ti meout.Infinite)
To let it awake I use myThread.Interr upt().
Unfortunately I cannot let the thread finish and use a new one. The problem
has to do with unmanaged code. To terminate my thread I subscribe to the
System.Windows. Forms.Applicati on.ApplicationE xit event from within my thread
so that it can Abort() itself.
As far as I can see this solution works for me but I will look at the
IsBackground property to see if this is a more elegant way.
Thanks,
Guido

That's not a terribly nice idea. Use Monitor.Wait/Pulse or a
Manual/AutoResetEvent - interrupting a thread just to wake it up is
like detecting the end of a loop which iterates through an array by
letting it go off the end of the array and catching the out of bounds
exception.

That would certainly terminate the process without you having to
terminate the thread, if that's all you need to do.

Hi All,
What I want to do, is to reuse a thread after it was supended. However,
if the thread was suspended for a while and I reinvoke it using
Thread.Resume(), an exception is thrown. If I look at the ThreadState of
the thread, it does not show Suspended, but WaitSleepJoin.
Am I missing something between Thread.Suspend() and Thread.Resume()?
Thanks in advance,
Andy
