How to terminate Thread

Question

I know there is a lot of questions about this. I tried them but can't get any result.

I'm creating a thread at first run, when I try to close the form, form closing but application (thread) is still running.

I don't care what will happen to thread. I just want whole application to close when user click to X button. I tried thread_name.Abort(); but nothing happens.

Answer 1

In the absence of code, a full answer is tricky.

I suspect the easiest solution might be to set the Thread's IsBackground property to true.

From the docs:

A thread is either a background thread or a foreground thread. Background threads are identical to foreground threads, except that background threads do not prevent a process from terminating

Answer 2

Try setting Thread.IsBackground to true when you create the thread.

Background threads do not stop the process from terminating if they are running.
