[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!

 

Thanks man +rep, i still got lots of things to learn.

 

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