thread ID

[George2]

Hello everyone,


I am migrating from C++ to C#. And I am debugging a multi-threaded program and I need to print out the thread ID. In C++, I am using GetCurrentThreadID method, but in C#, I only find Thread.CurrentThread.ManagedThreadId.

My questions are,

1.

Does Thread.CurrentThread.ManagedThreadId have the same effect and can serve my purpose?

2.

I am confused about what means "ManagedThreadId", does there is some peer called "NonManagedThreadId"?


thanks in advance,
George

The Thread class in C# has a Name property. Setting this property will make debugging much easier, because you can name your threads after what they do and VS will show the names of the running threads while debugging. For example you can name your main thread "UI Thread" and your listener thread "ListenerThread". Those names will appear in VS.

For seperating threads in your program and identifying them later, you can use the managed thread ID. Name would be easier though
