[C#] ThreadRunner Example

A couple things to add to this.
You should have your thread class expand the IDisposable interface instead of just implementing a dispose function.

public class Worker : IDisposable
{
private Thread t;
private frmMain parent;
public int interval, cycle = 1;
private volatile bool _ShouldStop;
private bool disposed = false;
public Worker(frmMain parent, int interval = 1000)
{
this.parent = parent;
this.interval = interval;
this.t = new Thread(new ThreadStart(this.loop));
t.Start();
}

public void loop()
{
parent.logger.Write("Thread " + getID() + " executing.");
while (!_ShouldStop)
{
Thread.Sleep(this.interval);
parent.logger.Write("Thread" + getID() + " - cycle " + this.cycle + ".");
cycle++;
}
}

protected virtual void Dispose(bool disposing)
{
if (!disposed)
{
if (disposing)
{
///Terminates thread
t.Join();
}

disposed = true;
}
}

public void Dispose()
{
Dispose(true);
GC.SuppressFinalize(this);
}

public int getID()
{
return t.ManagedThreadId;
}
}


So with this you can use the using keyword to automatically dispose of threads once you are done with them.

Anyways, good job with the program!

 

Update your source link. I'm eager to run through the mistakes it may have.
