This is a C# Program to kill a thread.

This C# Program Kills a Thread.

Here the working of the thread is stopped when a key is pressed else the work continues.

Here is source code of the C# Program to Kill a Thread. The C# program is successfully compiled and executed with Microsoft Visual Studio. The program output is also shown below.

using System;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using System.Threading;
class Program  
{  
     static void Main(string[] args)  
     {  
 
         ThreadingClass th = new ThreadingClass();  
         Thread thread1 = new Thread(th.DoStuff);
         thread1.Start();  
         Console.WriteLine("Press any key to exit!!!");  
         Console.ReadKey();  
         th.Stop();
         thread1.Join();  
     }   
}
public class ThreadingClass  
{  
     private bool flag = false;  
    public void DoStuff()  
    {  
         while (!flag)  
         {  
             Console.WriteLine(" Thread is Still Working");  
             Thread.Sleep(1000);  
         }  
     }  
    public void Stop()  
     {  
         flag = true;  
     }  
 }

In this C# Program, we are creating an object ‘th’ for ThreadingClass. then we are creating a new thread named as thread1 by calling the DoStuff() function in threading class. Using while loop in Dostuff() function check the thread is still working by checking the condition of the value of ‘flag’ variable is equal to true.

If the condition is true, then execute the statement and print the statement as Thread is Still Working. The sleep() method is used for making a thread pause for a specific period of time. Here the working of the thread is stopped when a key is pressed else the work continues.
