Timeout Class
.NET Framework 3.0
Contains a constant used to specify an infinite amount of time. This class cannot be inherited.
Namespace: System.Threading
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
The only member of this class, Infinite, is a constant used by methods that accept an integer timeout parameter, such as Thread.Sleep(Int32), Thread.Join(Int32), and ReaderWriterLock.AcquireReaderLock(Int32).
The following code example shows a thread going to sleep for an infinite time and subsequently being woken up.
using System; using System.Security.Permissions; using System.Threading; [assembly: SecurityPermissionAttribute(SecurityAction.RequestMinimum, ControlThread = true)] class ThreadInterrupt { static void Main() { StayAwake stayAwake = new StayAwake(); Thread newThread = new Thread(new ThreadStart(stayAwake.ThreadMethod)); newThread.Start(); // The following line causes an exception to be thrown // in ThreadMethod if newThread is currently blocked // or becomes blocked in the future. newThread.Interrupt(); Console.WriteLine("Main thread calls Interrupt on newThread."); // Tell newThread to go to sleep. stayAwake.SleepSwitch = true; // Wait for newThread to end. newThread.Join(); } } class StayAwake { bool sleepSwitch = false; public bool SleepSwitch { set{ sleepSwitch = value; } } public StayAwake(){} public void ThreadMethod() { Console.WriteLine("newThread is executing ThreadMethod."); while(!sleepSwitch) { // Use SpinWait instead of Sleep to demonstrate the // effect of calling Interrupt on a running thread. Thread.SpinWait(10000000); } try { Console.WriteLine("newThread going to sleep."); // When newThread goes to sleep, it is immediately // woken up by a ThreadInterruptedException. Thread.Sleep(Timeout.Infinite); } catch(ThreadInterruptedException e) { Console.WriteLine("newThread cannot go to sleep - " + "interrupted by main thread."); } } }
