multithreading - thread start stop c# WinForm -

multithreading - thread start stop c# WinForm -

background: in c# winform, utilize several threads this

private thread thread1; thread1 = new thread(new threadstart(dosomething)); thread1.start();

and want set timer stop/kill thread1 every hour, , restart new thread1 this:

abort/kill thread1; thread1 = new thread(new threadstart(dosomething)); thread1.start();

so how kill thread1 , restart new 1 without restart winform?

thank kindly reply. much appreciated it

here sample.

private void button1_click(object sender, eventargs e) { var = 0; action dosomething = () => { while (true) { (++i).tostring(); thread.sleep(100); } }; thread thread1; thread1 = new thread(new threadstart(dosomething)); thread1.start(); thread.sleep(1000); text = i.tostring(); thread1.abort(); thread1 = new thread(new threadstart(dosomething)); thread1.start(); }

i don't recommend thread.abort method. when possible, design thread can stop safety. , utilize bring together method.

private void button2_click(object sender, eventargs e) { // flag, stop thread outside. var needstop = false; var = 0; action dosomething = () => { while (!needstop) { (++i).tostring(); thread.sleep(100); } }; thread thread1; thread1 = new thread(new threadstart(dosomething)); thread1.start(); thread.sleep(1000); text = i.tostring(); // alter flag stop. needstop = true; // wait until thread stop. thread1.join(); // start new thread. thread1 = new thread(new threadstart(dosomething)); thread1.start(); // needstop = true; // thread1.join(); }
