public object? ExceptionState { get; }
public object ExceptionState { get; }
member this.ExceptionState : obj
Public ReadOnly Property ExceptionState As Object
An object containing application-specific information.
The following code example shows how to pass information to a thread that is being aborted.
using System;
using System.Threading;
class Test
{
public static void Main()
{
Thread newThread = new Thread(new ThreadStart(TestMethod));
newThread.Start();
Thread.Sleep(1000);
// Abort newThread.
Console.WriteLine("Main aborting new thread.");
newThread.Abort("Information from Main.");
// Wait for the thread to terminate.
newThread.Join();
Console.WriteLine("New thread terminated - Main exiting.");
}
static void TestMethod()
{
try
{
while(true)
{
Console.WriteLine("New thread running.");
Thread.Sleep(1000);
}
}
catch(ThreadAbortException abortException)
{
Console.WriteLine((string)abortException.ExceptionState);
}
}
}
Imports System.Threading
Public Class Test
<MTAThread> _
Shared Sub Main()
Dim newThread As New Thread(AddressOf TestMethod)
newThread.Start()
Thread.Sleep(1000)
' Abort newThread.
Console.WriteLine("Main aborting new thread.")
newThread.Abort("Information from Main.")
' Wait for the thread to terminate.
newThread.Join()
Console.WriteLine("New thread terminated - Main exiting.")
End Sub
Shared Sub TestMethod()
Try
While True
Console.WriteLine("New thread running.")
Thread.Sleep(1000)
End While
Catch abortException As ThreadAbortException
Console.WriteLine( _
CType(abortException.ExceptionState, String))
End Try
End Sub
End Class
The object returned by this property is specified through the stateInfo
parameter of the Abort method. The exact content and usage of this object is application defined; it is typically used to convey information that is meaningful to the thread being aborted.
