How do I know if a thread has successfully exited?

Question

According to the MSDN Documentation for ThreadState , Stopped status can be entered in one of two ways: the output of the thread or the thread is interrupted.

Is there any mechanism to find out if a thread has entered the Stop state when exiting normally? Thanks!

Answer 1

A thread can reach Stopped state in several ways:

• The main method may exit without any errors.
• An uncaught exception in the thread may end it.
• Another thread may call Thread.Abort (), which will throw a ThreadAbortException into this thread.

Answer 6

A thread can only be canceled by calling Thread.Abort (), which throws a ThreadAbortException, so when handling exceptions, you should be able to determine the normal output and the interrupted output.
