Example: Creating a thread with help of Thread class

Here I am creating two threads that are executed concurrently without effecting to each other, a first thread is the main thread which prints ‘Thread: A ‘message and the second one is ThreadB which prints ‘Thread: B’ message.

using System.Threading;
  
namespace ThreadTest
{
     class Program
    {
         static voidMain(string[] args)
         {
             //Creating thread object to strat it
             Thread th= newThread(ThreadB);
             Console.WriteLine("Threads started :");
             // Start thread B
            th.Start();
             //Thread A executes 10 times
             for (inti=0; i<10; i++)
            {
                 Console.WriteLine("Thread : A");
            }
            
             Console.WriteLine("Threads completed");
             Console.ReadKey();
         }
         public staticvoidThreadB()
         {
            //Executes thread B 10 times
           for(inti=0;i<10;i++)
          {
              Console.WriteLine("Thread : B");
          }
         }
    }
}

Output:

Example: Creating thread with help ThreadStart Delegate.

When a managed thread is created, then a method that executes within a thread is represented by the ThreadStart delegate and passed into Thread constructor.  

That is ThreadStart delegate represent a method which used in thread execution.

Let’s see the brief description of creating thread with help of ThreadStart delegate.

Example:

using System.Threading;
  
namespace ParameterizedThread
{
     class Program
    {
         static voidMain(string[] args)
         {
             // Create Thread class object and paas object of ThreadStart delegate with specified method its constructor 
             Thread th=newThread(newThreadStart(MyMethod));
            th.Name="Child thread";
             // Start child thread
            th.Start();
             for (inti=0; i<20; i++)
            {
                 Console.WriteLine("Main Thread");
            }
             Console.WriteLine("End Thread...");
             Console.ReadKey();
         }
         // Method used in thread execution
         public staticvoidMyMethod()
         {
            
             for (inti=0; i<10; i++)
            {
                 Console.WriteLine("Child Thread");
            }
  
         }
    }
}

 Output:

Example: Create thread with taking parameter or Parameterized Thread.

We can also create a parameterized thread for creating parameterized thread writes the following code.

using System.Threading;
  
namespace ParameterizedThread
{
     class Program
    {
         static voidMain(string[] args)
         {
             // Create object of ParameterizedThreadStart to create parameterized thread  
             ParameterizedThreadStart paraThread= new ParameterizedThreadStart(MyMethod);
             // Paas the object ParameterizedThreadStart in Thread constructor  
             Thread th= newThread(paraThread);
             // Assign name of thread 
            th.Name="Child Thread";
             Console.WriteLine("Start thread...");
             //Pass the parameter into child thread
            th.Start(th.Name);
             // Execute the main thread
             for (inti=0; i<10; i++)
            {
                 Console.WriteLine("Main Thread");
            }
             Console.WriteLine("End Thread...");
             Console.ReadKey();
         }
         public staticvoidMyMethod(objectobj)
         {
             string name=Convert.ToString(obj);
             for (inti=0; i<10; i++)
            {
                 Console.WriteLine(name);
            }
  
         }
    }
}

Output:

Thread Priority:

Thread priority specifies the scheduling priority of threads, and the executions of threads perform on its priority basis.

When we create any thread and not assign its priority then by default normal priority will be assigned for it. The thread priority does not affect the state of a thread.

Example: Let’s see a brief example of thread priority.

using System.Threading;
  
namespace ForegroundThread
{
     class Program
    {
         static voidMain(string[] args)
         {
             // Create ThreadA object
             Thread threadA= newThread(newThreadStart(ChildThreadA));
             // Create ThreadB object
             Thread threadB= newThread(newThreadStart(ChildThreadB));
  
            threadA.Name= "Thread A";
            threadB.Name= "Thread B";
             // set highest priority of threadB
            threadB.Priority= ThreadPriority.Highest;
            threadA.Start();
            threadB.Start();
             Thread.CurrentThread.Name= "Main";
             for (inti=0; i<20; i++)
            {
                 Console.WriteLine(Thread.CurrentThread.Name);
            }
             Console.ReadKey();
       }
         public staticvoidChildThreadA()
         {
             for (inti=0; i<10; i++)
            {
                 Console.WriteLine("Child thread A:");
            }
         }
         public staticvoidChildThreadB()
         {
             for (inti=0; i<10; i++)
            {
                 Console.WriteLine("Child thread B:");
            }
         }
    }
}
