Shared Sub Main()
' Check whether the thread has previously been named
' to avoid a possible InvalidOperationException.
If Thread.CurrentThread.Name = Nothing Then
Thread.CurrentThread.Name = "MainThread"
Else
Console.WriteLine("Unable to name a previously " & _
"named thread.")
End If
End Sub
End Class
using System;
using System.Threading;
class Name
{
static void Main()
{
// Check whether the thread has previously been named
// to avoid a possible InvalidOperationException.
if(Thread.CurrentThread.Name == null)
{
Thread.CurrentThread.Name = "MainThread";
}
else
{
Console.WriteLine("Unable to name a previously " +
"named thread.");
}
}
}
using namespace System;
using namespace System::Threading;
int main()
{
// Check whether the thread has previously been named to
// avoid a possible InvalidOperationException.
if ( Thread::CurrentThread->Name == nullptr )
{
Thread::CurrentThread->Name = "MainThread";
}
else
{
Console::WriteLine( "Unable to name a previously "
"named thread." );
