how to make threads with continuous id's

Question

I need to assign continuous Ids for some threads when i'm creating them, and doesn't matter what starting id is (like 11, 12 , 13,.. or 9, 10, 11)

This is what i have done, here i am creating 4 threads and invoke My_function()

for ( byte i = 0 ; i < 4 ; i++ )
    {
     myThreadArray[i] = new Thread(new ParameterizedThreadStart(My_function));
     myThreadArray[i].Start(i);
    }

it seems working but can i be guaranteed that i always assign continuous id's for them

Answer 1

Since you are using an array to contain your threads, each sequentially assigned element of that array will have a sequential index.

However, if you need to map a Thread ID to an element in MyThreadArray, since you have no control over thread IDs when the threads are created (only the thread Name), you could use a Dictionary<int, int> to map the actual thread IDs to the MyThreadArray index

for ( byte i = 0 ; i < 4 ; i++ )
    {
     myThreadArray[i] = new Thread(new ParameterizedThreadStart(My_function));
     myThreadArray[i].Start(i);
     MyThreadDictionary.Add(MyThreadArray[i].ManagedThreadId(), i)
    }

and access it by:

logSet[MyThreadDictionary(System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.ManagedThreadId)]

or use Array.FindIndex to retrieve the index of the MyThreadArray element that contains the thread matching the thread ID you want to match, in much the same way.
