8
points
To name thread in C#/.NET Thread.Name
property can be used.
using System;
using System.Threading;
namespace Test
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
Thread.CurrentThread.Name = "MyMainThread";
Thread thread = new Thread(() =>
{
Thread.Sleep(5000);
Console.WriteLine(Thread.CurrentThread.Name + " is stopping");
});
thread.Name = "MyFirstThread";
thread.Start();
Thread.Sleep(5000);
Console.WriteLine(Thread.CurrentThread.Name + " is stopping");
}
}
}
Where:
Thread.CurrentThread
property - keeps reference to currently executed thread objectThread.Name
property - gets and sets thread name
Output:
MyFirstThread is stopping
MyMainThread is stopping
Note:Thread.Name
helps to identify more precisely threads. Threads window shows all threads with their names during debugging proces. To display the window use menu: Debug->Window->Threads (this menu is available only during debugging process).
