Getting name of current thread
To get the name of the current thread, we created an object of using Thread.CurrentThread property then we assigned the thread name and then printed thread information with the help of Name property.
C# program to print the name of the current thread
/*
* Program to print the Name of the Current Thread
*/
using System;
using System.Threading;
class MyThreadClass {
static void Main(string[] args) {
Thread t = Thread.CurrentThread;
t.Name = "MyNewThread";
Console.WriteLine("Thread information:");
Console.WriteLine("\tName of the thread: " + t.Name);
Console.WriteLine("\tStatus of thread : " + (t.IsAlive == true ? "Alive" : "Not Alive"));
}
}
Output
Thread information:
Name of the thread: MyNewThread
Status of thread : Alive
Press any key to continue . . .
Explanation
In the above program, we created a class MyThreadClass that contains the Main() method to start the execution of the program. In the Main() method, we created using Thread.CurrentThread property then we assigned thread name and then print thread information.
