Thread Class in C#

January 18, 2022 C#

In this post, you will learn how to work with the Thread class so that you can use that same knowledge and thus evolve.

this class (belonging to the System.Threading library) allows the creation/control of a certain process and it is possible to define its priority and obtain its status;
the thread is basically a task.

`Thread (object).Start()`	Starts the particular thread that was instantiated
`Thread (object).Join()`	Block the starting (calling) thread until the current thread ends
`Sleep()`	Suspend the current thread for the specified time (time in milliseconds)

using System;
using System.Threading;

namespace Base {
  class ThreadClass {
    private Thread thread;

    public void Run() {
      thread = new Thread(ExecuteThread);
      thread.Start();

      for (int index = 1; index <= 5; index++) {
        Console.WriteLine($"Run() #{index}");
        Thread.Sleep(1000);
      }

      Console.WriteLine("The Run() thread terminated.");

      thread.Join();

      Console.WriteLine("The ExecuteThread() thread terminated.");
    }

    private void ExecuteThread() {
      for (int index = 1; index <= 10; index++) {
        Console.WriteLine($"ExecuteThread() #{index}");
        Thread.Sleep(1000);
      }
    }
  }
}

/*
  Run() #1
  ExecuteThread() #1
  Run() #2
  ExecuteThread() #2
  Run() #3
  ExecuteThread() #3
  Run() #4
  ExecuteThread() #4
  Run() #5
  ExecuteThread() #5
  The Run() thread terminated.
  ExecuteThread() #6
  ExecuteThread() #7
  ExecuteThread() #8
  ExecuteThread() #9
  ExecuteThread() #10
  The ExecuteThread() thread terminated.
