Looping a function while running a program

[Stan.Loughmiller]

I am trying to get a function to loop in C# while allowing the rest of
the program to run. The function is a boolean that constantly checks
the state of a switch while a program is run. If the switch is
activated then the program is stopped and a new program is started. Is
this possible in C#, if so, where do I start.
Thanks,
Stan

I would think that multiple threads would do the trick.

Something like: (ish!)


class MyClass
{
Boolean myBool = false;

private void Main()
{
Thread CheckingThread = new Thread(new Thread(CheckFunc));
CheckingThread.Start();

//Do other stuff

if (myBool == true) DoSomethingElse();
}

Private void (CheckingFunc)
{
if (Something == true) myBool = true;
}
}

I'll give this a try and see what happens. Thanks for the help.

The Thread class and what not are part of the System.Threading
namespace by the way.

Definately get familiar with that.
