What is multithreading in C#?
In C#, the System.Threading.Thread class is used for working with threads. It allows creating and accessing individual threads in a multithreaded application. The first thread to be executed in a process is called the main thread.
When a C# program starts execution, the main thread is automatically created. The threads created using the Thread class are called the child threads of the main thread.
The following is an example showing how to create a thread in C# −
using System;
using System.Threading;
namespace Demo {
class Program {
static void Main(string[] args) {
Thread th = Thread.CurrentThread;
th.Name = "MainThread";
Console.WriteLine("This is {0}", th.Name);
Console.ReadKey();
}
}
}Here is another example showing how to manage threads in C# −
Example
using System;
using System.Threading;
namespace MultithreadingApplication {
class ThreadCreationProgram {
public static void CallToChildThread() {
Console.WriteLine("Child thread starts");
// the thread is paused for 5000 milliseconds
int sleepfor = 5000;
Console.WriteLine("Child Thread Paused for {0} seconds", sleepfor / 1000);
Thread.Sleep(sleepfor);
Console.WriteLine("Child thread resumes");
}
static void Main(string[] args) {
ThreadStart childref = new ThreadStart(CallToChildThread);
Console.WriteLine("In Main: Creating the Child thread");
Thread childThread = new Thread(childref);
childThread.Start();
Console.ReadKey();
}
}
}Output
In Main: Creating the Child thread Child thread starts Child Thread Paused for 5 seconds Child thread resumes
