vb.net thread problem

[jaseem ahmad]

Hi all, I have a problem using multithread application with vb.net . I am opening a thread ,inside that thread i am calling third party DLL function . but that function internally opening child threads . whenever I am aborting the main thread , child thread is not aborting . is that any function to close the main as well as child thread.

Not unless you are getting a handle on those internal child threads and can then call abort on them. Seems to me that those internal threads should have been created with the background attribute set or the library should provide you with a method to call to close them down.

Are you sure the DLL is spawning threads? If that were the case, destroying the main thread should kill all other threads created by it. Most likely the DLL is spawning a new process which runs independently of your main code and hence it will not terminate when your main thread terminates. In this case you'll need to manually kill the spawned processes as already described in the previous post. ...Steve 1. quod erat demonstrandum 2. "Give a man a fish and you've fed him for a day.
