C# Thread Termination and Thread.Abort()

by

Thread.Abort() injects a ThreadAbortException on the thread. The thread may cancel the request by calling Thread.ResetAbort(). Also, there are certain code parts, such as finally block that will execute before the exception is handled. If for some reason the thread is stuck in such a block the exception will never be raised on the thread.

As the caller has very little control over the state of the thread when calling Abort(), it is generally not advisable to do so. Pass a message to the thread requesting termination instead.
