Thread.Suspend()

[Alan T]

As the Suspend method is deprecated, what method can I use?

What I want to do is when the user press the button "Cancel", it will prompt
the user to confirm it he want to stop the process, I need to suspend the
thread before the user choose "Yes" or "No".
If he choose "Yes", I will call
Thread.Abort()
If he choose "No", I will call
Thread.Resume().

Hi Alan,

Suspending and then Aborting a thread may cause data integrity problems if
your thread in middle of updating some business data. And anyway these two
methods are deprecated in .Net 2.0.

If your thread is doing some routine data related manipulations in a loop
(or some loop kind of thing), then implement a small class that wraps your
thread and provide "Pause", "Resume" and "Stop" methods on that class. Define
your thread handler method as a method inside the class and based on the
state of the class object ("Pause", "Resume" and "Stop") let the thread
handler method pause, resume and stop by itself.

This way you gurantee the data safety in your application and also provide a
decent way of pausing, resuming and stopping the work done by your thread.

See http://www.pobox.com/~skeet/csharp/threads/shutdown.shtml

You can very easily apply the same technique to pausing a thread.
