Thread.Abort.txt

Raises a ThreadAbortException in the thread on which it is invoked, to begin the process of terminating the thread. Calling this method usually terminates the thread.

When this method is invoked on a thread, the system throws a ThreadAbortException in the thread to abort it. ThreadAbortException is a special exception that can be caught by application code, but is re-thrown at the end of the catch block unless ResetAbort is called. ResetAbort cancels the request to abort, and prevents the ThreadAbortException from terminating the thread. Unexecuted finally blocks are executed before the thread is aborted.


If Abort is called on a thread that has not been started, the thread will abort when Start is called. If Abort is called on a thread that is blocked or is sleeping, the thread is interrupted and then aborted.

If Abort is called on a thread that has been suspended, a ThreadStateException is thrown in the thread that called Abort, and AbortRequested is added to the ThreadState property of the thread being aborted. A ThreadAbortException is not thrown in the suspended thread until Resume is called.

If Abort is called on a managed thread while it is executing unmanaged code, a ThreadAbortException is not thrown until the thread returns to managed code.

If two calls to Abort come at the same time, it is possible for one call to set the state information and the other call to execute the Abort. However, an application cannot detect this situation.

After Abort is invoked on a thread, the state of the thread includes AbortRequested. After the thread has terminated as a result of a successful call to Abort, the state of the thread is changed to Stopped. With sufficient permissions, a thread that is the target of an Abort can cancel the abort using the ResetAbort method. For an example that demonstrates calling the ResetAbort method, see the ThreadAbortException class.


using System;
using System.Threading;

class Test
{
    public static void Main()
    {
        Thread newThread  = new Thread(new ThreadStart(TestMethod));
        newThread.Start();
        Thread.Sleep(1000);

        // Abort newThread.
		// 發出 ThreadAbortException 給子執行緒
        Console.WriteLine("Main aborting new thread.");
        newThread.Abort("Information from Main.");

        // Wait for the thread to terminate.
		// 子執行緒不會馬上結束, 必須以 Join() 等候子執行緒確認結束.
        newThread.Join();
        Console.WriteLine("New thread terminated - Main exiting.");
    }

    static void TestMethod()
    {
        try
        {
            while(true)
            {
                Console.WriteLine("New thread running.");
                Thread.Sleep(1000);
            }
        }
        catch(ThreadAbortException abortException)
        {
			// 子執行緒捕捉到 Abort() 發出的 ThreadAbortException 後, 可再執行一些指令後才結束. 
            Console.WriteLine((string)abortException.ExceptionState);
        }
    }
}


Remarks
When this method is invoked on a thread, the system throws a ThreadAbortException in the thread to abort it. ThreadAbortException is a special exception that can be caught by application code, but is re-thrown at the end of the catch block unless ResetAbort is called. ResetAbort cancels the request to abort, and prevents the ThreadAbortException from terminating the thread. Unexecuted finally blocks are executed before the thread is aborted.

The thread is not guaranteed to abort immediately, or at all. This situation can occur if a thread does an unbounded amount of computation in the finally blocks that are called as part of the abort procedure, thereby indefinitely delaying the abort. To wait until a thread has aborted, you can call the Join method on the thread after calling the Abort method, but there is no guarantee that the wait will end.

If Abort is called on a thread that has not been started, the thread will abort when Start is called. If Abort is called on a thread that is blocked or is sleeping, the thread is interrupted and then aborted.

If Abort is called on a thread that has been suspended, a ThreadStateException is thrown in the thread that called Abort, and AbortRequested is added to the ThreadState property of the thread being aborted. A ThreadAbortException is not thrown in the suspended thread until Resume is called.

If Abort is called on a managed thread while it is executing unmanaged code, a ThreadAbortException is not thrown until the thread returns to managed code.

If two calls to Abort come at the same time, it is possible for one call to set the state information and the other call to execute the Abort. However, an application cannot detect this situation.

After Abort is invoked on a thread, the state of the thread includes AbortRequested. After the thread has terminated as a result of a successful call to Abort, the state of the thread is changed to Stopped. With sufficient permissions, a thread that is the target of an Abort can cancel the abort using the ResetAbort method.
