What is the value of the ThreadState property?

Question

This question made me think of the .NET equivalent. What does a property ThreadStateof the Thread class have? In this code example:

if (someThread.ThreadState != System.Threading.ThreadState.Running)
{
    someThread = new Thread(SomeMethod);
    someThread.Start();
}

A property someThread ThreadStatecan switch Runningbetween ifand with code inside if, right?
