Thread Debug, Want A Name

Question

Still trying to debug 3 different threads.

I can see that the threads are cooperating; sortta; sometimes; but I can't really see which thread is doing what.

The "console" window shows me things like this...

The thread '< No Name >' (0x14a4) has exited with code 0 (0x0).
The thread '< No Name >' (0xec8) has exited with code 0 (0x0).
The thread '< No Name> ' (0x15a8) has exited with code 0 (0x0).

I thought it would be great to put a name with these hex values that don't tell me anything.

I looked on this MSDN page and this other one which were probably accurate, but I missed the part on where you change <No Name> to something like Background Rx or Label1_Text_Change or whatever.

Example...

this.demoThread =
     new Thread(new ThreadStart(this.Antarctica));

this.demoThread.Start();

I hate being the site's leading dunce, but could someone please demonstrate, in this three line example (really it's two lines, but whatever) how do I tell C# and Visual Studio to change <no name> to Antarctica ? I'm talking about watching the sequence in the console window a the bottom of the Visual Studio IDE.

If it matters, the app is displayed on one screen while the Visual Studio IDE is displayed on the other.

Answer 1

this.demoThread.Name = "Antarctica";
