Running one thread multiple times

[Guest]

Hi,

I'm new to threading, and I need some beginner help. I have a thread that
successfully runs and then terminates. I want to run it a second time, but
doing myThread.Start() again brings an unhandled exception saying, "Thread is
running or terminated; it can not restart." (Note: I've checked the status
of the thread at this point and it is indeed "Stopped.") There must be
another way to go about this?

Thanks,
Nathan

AFAIK, You can not rerun the same thread. You need to create the thread
again using "MyThread = New Thread"

Add the code that creates the thread to your loop and see if that solves
the problem for you.
