由于时间片的原因,虽然所有线程在微观上是串行执行的,但在宏观上可以认为是并行执行。
线程有两种类型:前台和后台。我们可以通过线程属性IsBackground=false来指定线程的前后台属性(默认是前台线程)。
区别是:前台线程的程序,必须等所有的前台线程运行完毕后才能退出;而后台线程的程序,只要前台的线程都终止了,那么后台的线程就会自动结束并推出程序。
用法方向:一般前台线程用于需要长时间等待的任务,比如监听客户端的请求;后台线程一般用于处理时间较短的任务,比如处理客户端发过来的请求信息。
【前台线程】
- using System;
- using System.Collections.Generic;
- using System.Text;
- using System.Threading;
- namespace Demo
- {
- class Program
- {
- static void Main(string[] args)
- {
- Thread aThread = new Thread(threadFunction);
- Console.WriteLine("Thread is starting...");
- aThread.Start();
- Console.WriteLine("Application is terminating...");
- }
- public static void threadFunction()
- {
- Console.WriteLine("Thread is sleeping...");
- Thread.Sleep(5000);
- Console.WriteLine("Thread is aborted!");
- }
- }
- }
【后台线程】
- using System;
- using System.Collections.Generic;
- using System.Text;
- using System.Threading;
- namespace Demo
- {
- class Program
- {
- static void Main(string[] args)
- {
- Thread aThread = new Thread(threadFunction);
- aThread.IsBackground = true;
- Console.WriteLine("Thread is starting...");
- aThread.Start();
- Console.WriteLine("Application is terminating...");
- }
- public static void threadFunction()
- {
- Console.WriteLine("Thread is sleeping...");
- Thread.Sleep(5000);
- Console.WriteLine("Thread is aborted!");
- }
- }
- }
