as soon as you triggered the start() method, your thread enters RUNNING STATE from UNSTARTED STATE, and it will continually running
There is no way to stop it like breakpoints not unless you will explicitly call Sleep() with maximum time that could give you chance to investigate. You cannot put a thread into ABORT/FINISH STATE, coz there's no way you could make it back to RUNNING STATE.
The only thing I hope is the release of Intel's Studio for the support of .NET/C#, and I hope they will shift this freely in our office, because it only support Unmanaged C++ so far...
you can checked it here ->
Intel Software Development Products for Windows* - IntelŽ Software Network there is an Intel Thread Checker 3.1 and Intel Thread Profiler, this is what we are currently using.
I was looking something like this, in .NET Framework, but what they introduced is another API for CLR.
I was about to asked this also, but I found on gaston post here
.NET Support - IntelŽ Software Network last nov. 19.
by the way, gaston is an author of this wonderful book
Professional Parallel Programming with C#: Amazon.co.uk: Gaston C. Hillar: Books the author itself says that it is terribly difficult to handle threading in .NET Framework,
But don't close your doors of what you had previously think about .NET Threading. If you heard about Intel and Microsoft collaboration you will amaze. Intel is supporting its multi-core for .NET; this is how great Microsoft is when it comes to marketing. Check this out:
Running .NET on IntelŽ XeonŽ processors: The Fastest Platform in Town - IntelŽ Software Network
from the site:
the XeonŽ processors' technological improvements come to the fore when running .NET appli cations on Windows servers. However, for the most part, .NET developers need not take any specific action to optimize their applications for the hardware, b
ecause Intel is working with Microsoft to build Xeon-processor-specific optimizations into the Windows .NET operating-system kernel and into the code for the Common Language Runtime managed execution environment.
