Join, Sleep and Abort methods in C# Threading

Anonymous User20993 27-Aug-2011

There are lots of methods in Thread class. Here I am discussing about three main methods which is widely used in multithreading. Join method are used to calling threads and execute it  until thread not terminate, i.e Join method waits for finishing other threads by calling its join method. 

Sleep methods are generally used for suspends thread for specified time and after that time it will notify automatically in process. Abort method are used to terminate the threads.

Example:  

To use these method use System.Threading namespace and writes the following code.

using System.Threading;
 
namespace ThreadTest
{
    class Program
    {
        static voidMain(string[] args)
        {
            // Creating thread object to strat it
            Thread threadB= newThread(ThreadB);
            Thread threadC= newThread(ThreadC);
            Console.WriteLine("Threads started :");
            // Assign thread name
            threadB.Name= "Child thread";
            // Start thread B
            threadB.Start();
             threadC.Start();
            // join the Second thread after finishing the first thread
             threadB.Join();
              
            //Assign main thread name
            Thread.CurrentThread.Name= "Main Thread";
            //Thread A executes 10 times
            for (inti=0i<10i++)
            {
                if (i==4)
                    // Join thread c 
                    threadC.Join();
                if (i==5)
                {
                    // Terminate thread C
                    threadC.Abort();
                }
                Console.WriteLine(Thread.CurrentThread.Name);
                Thread.Sleep(100);
            }
         
            Console.WriteLine("Threads completed");
            Console.ReadKey();
        }
        public staticvoidThreadB()
        {
           // Executes thread B 10 times
          for(inti=0;i<10;i++)
          {
              // Suspends thread for 2 seconds
              Thread.Sleep(200);
             Console.WriteLine("Thread B");
          }
        }
        public staticvoidThreadC()
        {
            // Executes thread B 10 times
            for (inti=0i<20i++)
            {
                // Suspends thread for 2 seconds
                Thread.Sleep(200);
                Console.WriteLine("Thread C");
            }
        }
    }
}
 

 

Output:
