Killing a thread

Question

I have the following code fragment from a project I'm working on:

public void Start()
      {
         Thread t = new Thread(NotifyIfNecessary);
         Threads.Add(t);
         t.Start();
         t.Abort());

      }

What I want is that thread 't' should execute the method NotifyIfNecessary and abort only after the method has completed execution. In my current code, t.Abort() gets called prematurely.

Answer 1

This is being caused because you're creating a new thread and starting it, then immediately killing it from the thread that you just created it in by calling the Thread.Abort() method. You don't need to do this; your thread will finish when NotifyIfNecessary has completed execution. Just remove the line t.Abort(); and your code should work properly.
