how to set priority on a backgroundworker thread
when i create the thread , do i use
thread.currentthread


not sure how to accomplish this
thanks
 
Analizer1,

No, you have a Thread instance when you create a Thread, so you set the
Priority property on that instance.

Mind you, setting the thread priority is usually not a good idea for
most scenarios.
 
I am Using "BackgroundWorker" , which is new in .net20
i dont see the thread Properties for this class

tks

You would use Thread.CurrentThread to get the current thread for setting
the priority.

That said, you should pay very close attention to Nicholas's statement
about setting thread priority being a bad idea in most scenarios.

It is almost always the case that if you think you need to set the thread
priority, you're wrong. This is especially true in managed applications,
since they rarely support the kinds of things that would actually benefit
from setting thread priorities.

In addition to what Peter said, my confusion came from the fact that you
capitalized Backgroundworkerthread in the post title, lower-cased it in the
post itself (and never correctly referenced the BackgroundWorker instance).
There is a property called IsBackground on the Thread instance which causes
it to be a background thread.

Sorry for the confusion.
