The following is the code showing how to set a counter for the thread and set it to sleep for 1000 milliseconds on every iteration of for loop −
Example
using System;
using System.Threading;
namespace MultithreadingApplication {
public class ThreadCreationProgram {
public static void CallToChildThread() {
try {
Console.WriteLine("Child thread starts");
for (int counter = 0; counter <= 10; counter++) {
Thread.Sleep(1000);
Console.WriteLine(counter);
}
Console.WriteLine("Child Thread Completed");
} catch (ThreadAbortException e) {
Console.WriteLine("Thread Abort Exception");
} finally {
Console.WriteLine("Couldn't catch the Thread Exception");
}
}
public 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();
//stop the main thread for some time
Thread.Sleep(5000);
}
}
}Output
