Aborting a thread while on sleepHi,
I have a thread which runs in a loop. Between each loop cycle it sleeps for 10 seconds. The problem is that if i'm aborting the thread during its sleep, the thread will be aborted only after the sleep time is over meaning it can be up to 10 seconds. Is there a way to force the abortion immediately without waiting for the sleep to be over?? I'm using the following 2 lines to abort: myThread.Abort(); myThread.Join(); Thanks! Call the Interrupt method if it is a WaitJoinSleep ThreadState. Then call
Abort. -- Show quoteHTH, Kevin Spencer Microsoft MVP ..Net Developer Who is Mighty Abbott? A twin turret scalawag.

I'm sorry but that doesn't help. I did this:
if (snmpThread.ThreadState == (System.Threading.ThreadState.WaitSleepJoin | System.Threading.ThreadState.Background)) snmpThread.Interrupt(); snmpThread.Abort(); snmpThread.Join(); I checked with the debugger and the Interrupt method is invoked followed by the Abort method but still the Abort method takes too long untill the sleep ends. Any suggestion??? Show quote "Kevin Spencer" wrote: > Call the Interrupt method if it is a WaitJoinSleep ThreadState.

Thus move logic to separate appDomain and reload whole domain, if nothing better helps b> I'm sorry but that doesn't help.

My thread work loop is doing
something like that: while (true) { // DO Something Thread.Sleep(10000); } I don't want the thread to be over by itself i want to stop it immediately and not to raise some "stop" flag and wait for it to stop gracefully (as in the article you pointed). The thing is that the Abort method does not abort the thread while in sleep state. I tried the Interrupt method as Kevin suggested and according to the MSDN this method should interrupt a sleep state but it doesn't so i don't know what else to do.

You need to accept, however, that calling Abort is not going to guarantee an immediate abort. If you're in unmanaged code for whatever reason, it won't abort the thread until that finishes anyway. -- Jon Skeet - <sk***@pobox.com> http://www.pobox.com/~skeet Blog: http://www.msmvps.com/jon.skeet If replying to the group, please do not mail me too  |
