Sample of MulthiThreaded Application using C#.Net: Part III

Writing multithreaded application in C# in pretty easy. The following are the steps to be followed while writing a multithreaded program.

Step 1: Define Namespace

Since in .NET, threading functionality is defined in System.Threading namespace we have to define it before using any thread class.

using System.Threading

Step 2: Start a thread

The Thread class of System.Threading namespace represents a Thread object. By using this class object, you can create new threads, delete, pause, and résumé threads. The Thread class creates a new thread and thread. Start method starts the thread. The general syntax for initializing a new instance of the thread class is given blow.

using System;

using System.Collections.Generic;

using System.Text;

using System.Threading;

namespace MyFirstConsoleApplication

{

class Program

{

static void Main(string[] args)

{

new Program();

for(int j=0;j<10;j++)

{

Console.WriteLine("Main Thread" + j.ToString());

Thread.Sleep(1000);

}

//When Start will called, the new thread will begin executing the ThreadStart delegate //passed
in the constructor. Once the thread is dead, it cannot be restarted with //another call to start.

public Program()

{

Thread thread = new Thread(new ThreadStart(WriteData));

thread.Start();

}

/// <summary>

/// WriteData is a function which will be executed by the thread

/// </summary>

protected static void WriteData()

{

string str;

for (int i = 0; i <= 10; i++)

{

str = "Secondary Thread" + i.ToString();

Thread.Sleep(1000);

Console.WriteLine(str);

}

And the output will be:
