Each thread has a Name property that you can set for the benefit of debugging.This is particularly useful in VISUAL Studio, SINCE the thread’s name is displayed in the Threads Window and Debug Location toolbar. You can set a thread’s name just once; attempts to CHANGE it later will throw an exception. The static Thread.CurrentThread property gives you the currently EXECUTING thread. In the following example, we set the main thread’s name:

class ThreadNaming

{

static void Main()

{

Thread.CurrentThread.Name = "main";

Thread worker = new Thread (Go);

worker.Name = "worker";

worker.Start();

Go();

}

static void Go()

{

Console.WriteLine ("Hello from " + Thread.CurrentThread.Name);

}

}
