Component/Control using threads how can I do........Hi,
I want to develop a component or a control(no UI, just like a timer or something)... This component will have a thread running from it's constructor or from a start function until a stop function or the end of the application. What I want to know is the following : How can I know when the application stops (in case I forgot to call the stop function) so I can stop my thread quickly? I'd use dispose, but it can be called whenever the GC decides to and it's not always at Application end, it could be seconds or worse, minutes later... How should I do? Is there a sandard for this kind of behavior? thanks ThunderMusic Hi,

IMO if you mark your thread with IsBackground = true you are safe. Note that this does not assure you a "clean" termination, if you want to do some cleaning you better implement the IDisposable pattern. -- -- Ignacio Machin, ignacio.machin AT dot.state.fl.us Florida Department Of Transportation  |
