ThreadStateException Class
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
[SerializableAttribute] [ComVisibleAttribute(true)] public class ThreadStateException : SystemException
/** @attribute SerializableAttribute() */ /** @attribute ComVisibleAttribute(true) */ public class ThreadStateException extends SystemException
SerializableAttribute ComVisibleAttribute(true) public class ThreadStateException extends SystemException
Not applicable.
Once a thread is created, it is in at least one of the ThreadState states until it terminates. ThreadStateException is thrown by methods that cannot perform the requested operation due to the current state of a thread. For example, trying to restart an aborted thread by calling Start on a thread that has terminated throws a ThreadStateException.
ThreadStateException uses the HRESULT COR_E_THREADSTATE, which has the value 0x80131520.
For a list of initial property values for an instance of ThreadStateException, see the ThreadStateException constructors.
The following example demonstrates an error that causes the system to throw a ThreadStateException.
using System; using System.Threading; public class ThreadWork { public static void DoWork() { Console.WriteLine("Working thread..."); } } class ThreadStateTest { public static void Main() { ThreadStart myThreadDelegate = new ThreadStart(ThreadWork.DoWork); Thread myThread = new Thread(myThreadDelegate); myThread.Start(); Thread.Sleep(0); Console.WriteLine("In main. Attempting to restart myThread."); try { myThread.Start(); } catch(ThreadStateException e) { Console.WriteLine("Caught: {0}", e.Message); } } }
import System.*;
import System.Threading.*;
public class ThreadWork
{
public static void DoWork()
{
Console.WriteLine("Working thread...");
} //DoWork
} //ThreadWork
class ThreadStateTest
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
ThreadStart myThreadDelegate = new ThreadStart(ThreadWork.DoWork);
System.Threading.Thread myThread =
new System.Threading.Thread(myThreadDelegate);
myThread.Start();
System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(0);
Console.WriteLine("In main. Attempting to restart myThread.");
try {
myThread.Start();
}
catch (ThreadStateException e) {
Console.WriteLine("Caught: {0}", e.get_Message());
}
} //main
} //ThreadStateTest
This code produces the following output:
In main. Attempting to restart myThread.
Working thread...
Caught: Thread is running or terminated. Cannot restart.
