Public Methods

	Abort() Raises a System.Threading.ThreadAbortException in the thread on which it is invoked, to begin the process of terminating the thread. Calling this method usually terminates the thread.
	Abort(object) Raises a System.Threading.ThreadAbortException in the thread on which it is invoked, to begin the process of terminating the thread while also providing exception information about the thread termination. Calling this method usually terminates the thread.
static	AllocateDataSlot() : LocalDataStoreSlot Allocates an unnamed data slot on all the threads. For better performance, use fields that are marked with the ThreadStaticAttribute attribute instead.
static	AllocateNamedDataSlot(string) : LocalDataStoreSlot Allocates a named data slot on all threads. For better performance, use fields that are marked with the ThreadStaticAttribute attribute instead.
static	BeginCriticalRegion() Notifies a host that execution is about to enter a region of code in which the effects of a thread abort or unhandled exception might jeopardize other tasks in the application domain.
static	BeginThreadAffinity() Notifies a host that managed code is about to execute instructions that depend on the identity of the current physical operating system thread.
static	EndCriticalRegion() Notifies a host that execution is about to enter a region of code in which the effects of a thread abort or unhandled exception are limited to the current task.
static	EndThreadAffinity() Notifies a host that managed code has finished executing instructions that depend on the identity of the current physical operating system thread.
	Finalize() Releases the resources held by this instance.
static	FreeNamedDataSlot(string) Eliminates the association between a name and a slot, for all threads in the process. For better performance, use fields that are marked with the ThreadStaticAttribute attribute instead.
	GetApartmentState() : System.Threading.ApartmentState Returns an System.Threading.ApartmentState value indicating the apartment state.
	GetCompressedStack() : System.Threading.CompressedStack Returns a System.Threading.CompressedStack object that can be used to capture the stack for the current thread.
static	GetData(LocalDataStoreSlot) : object Retrieves the value from the specified slot on the current thread, within the current thread's current domain. For better performance, use fields that are marked with the ThreadStaticAttribute attribute instead.
static	GetDomain() : AppDomain Returns the current domain in which the current thread is running.
static	GetDomainID() : int Returns a unique application domain identifier.
override	GetHashCode() : int Returns a hash code for the current thread.
static	GetNamedDataSlot(string) : LocalDataStoreSlot Looks up a named data slot. For better performance, use fields that are marked with the ThreadStaticAttribute attribute instead.
	Interrupt() Interrupts a thread that is in the WaitSleepJoin thread state.
	Join() Blocks the calling thread until a thread terminates, while continuing to perform standard COM and SendMessage pumping.
	Join(int) : bool Blocks the calling thread until a thread terminates or the specified time elapses, while continuing to perform standard COM and SendMessage pumping.
	Join(TimeSpan) : bool Blocks the calling thread until a thread terminates or the specified time elapses, while continuing to perform standard COM and SendMessage pumping.
static	MemoryBarrier() Synchronizes memory access as follows: The processor executing the current thread cannot reorder instructions in such a way that memory accesses prior to the call to Thread.MemoryBarrier execute after memory accesses that follow the call to Thread.MemoryBarrier.
static	ResetAbort() Cancels an Thread.Abort(object) requested for the current thread.
	Resume() Resumes a thread that has been suspended.
	SetApartmentState(System.Threading.ApartmentState) Sets the apartment state of a thread before it is started.
	SetCompressedStack(System.Threading.CompressedStack) Applies a captured System.Threading.CompressedStack to the current thread.
static	SetData(LocalDataStoreSlot, object) Sets the data in the specified slot on the currently running thread, for that thread's current domain. For better performance, use fields marked with the ThreadStaticAttribute attribute instead.
static	Sleep(int) Suspends the current thread for the specified number of milliseconds.
static	Sleep(TimeSpan) Suspends the current thread for the specified amount of time.
static	SpinWait(int) Causes a thread to wait the number of times defined by the iterations parameter.
	Start() Causes the operating system to change the state of the current instance to ThreadState.Running.
	Start(object) Causes the operating system to change the state of the current instance to ThreadState.Running, and optionally supplies an object containing data to be used by the method the thread executes.
	Suspend() Either suspends the thread, or if the thread is already suspended, has no effect.
	TrySetApartmentState(System.Threading.ApartmentState) : bool Sets the apartment state of a thread before it is started.
