创建线程
线程是通过扩展 Thread 类创建的。扩展的 Thread 类调用 Start() 方法来开始子线程的执行。
下面的程序演示了这个概念：

 class ThreadCreationProgram
    {
        public static void CallToChildThread()
        {
            Console.WriteLine("Child thread starts");
        }
       
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            ThreadStart childref = new ThreadStart(CallToChildThread);
            Console.WriteLine("In Main: Creating the Child thread");
            Thread childThread = new Thread(childref);
            childThread.Start();
            Console.ReadKey();
        }
    }

当上面的代码被编译和执行时，它会产生下列结果：

In Main: Creating the Child thread
Child thread starts

管理线程
Thread 类提供了各种管理线程的方法。下面的实例演示了 sleep() 方法的使用，用于在一个特定的时间暂停线程。

class ThreadCreationProgram
    {
        public static void CallToChildThread()
        {
            Console.WriteLine("Child thread starts");
            // 线程暂停 5000 毫秒
            int sleepfor = 5000;
            Console.WriteLine("Child Thread Paused for {0} seconds",
                              sleepfor / 1000);
            Thread.Sleep(sleepfor);
            Console.WriteLine("Child thread resumes");
        }
       
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            ThreadStart childref = new ThreadStart(CallToChildThread);
            Console.WriteLine("In Main: Creating the Child thread");
            Thread childThread = new Thread(childref);
            childThread.Start();
            Console.ReadKey();
        }
    }

当上面的代码被编译和执行时，它会产生下列结果：

In Main: Creating the Child thread
Child thread starts
Child Thread Paused for 5 seconds
Child thread resumes

销毁线程
Abort() 方法用于销毁线程。通过抛出 threadabortexception 在运行时中止线程。这个异常不能被捕获，如果有 finally 块，控制会被送至 finally 块。

下面的程序说明了这点：

class ThreadCreationProgram
    {
        public static void CallToChildThread()
        {
            try
            {

                Console.WriteLine("Child thread starts");
                // 计数到 10
                for (int counter = 0; counter <= 10; counter++)
                {
                    Thread.Sleep(500);
                    Console.WriteLine(counter);
                }
                Console.WriteLine("Child Thread Completed");

            }
            catch (ThreadAbortException e)
            {
                Console.WriteLine("Thread Abort Exception");
            }
            finally
            {
                Console.WriteLine("Couldn't catch the Thread Exception");
            }

        }
       
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            ThreadStart childref = new ThreadStart(CallToChildThread);
            Console.WriteLine("In Main: Creating the Child thread");
            Thread childThread = new Thread(childref);
            childThread.Start();
            // 停止主线程一段时间
            Thread.Sleep(2000);
            // 现在中止子线程
            Console.WriteLine("In Main: Aborting the Child thread");
            childThread.Abort();
            Console.ReadKey();
        }
    }

当上面的代码被编译和执行时，它会产生下列结果：

In Main: Creating the Child thread
Child thread starts
0
1
2
In Main: Aborting the Child thread
Thread Abort Exception
Couldn't catch the Thread Exception
