Explore how to use lambda expressions to create threads and capture variables in C#. Understand the benefits and tuning of thread pools for managing concurrent tasks. Learn methods for pausing and interrupting threads, including handling exceptions like ThreadInterruptedException and ThreadAbortedException.

We'll cover the following...

Using Lambda Expressions to Create Threads

We can also use lambda expression to pass an anonymous function instead of a ThreadStart object to the Thread constructor. For example:Apart from being a shorthand, the lambda expression also allows us to capture outer variables in the current scope. The standard rules of variable capture apply. We can rewrite the previous example to capture the arguments in a lambda expression rather than explicitly pass them to the thread in the Start() method.

C#
Thread thread = new Thread(()=>{
  // Do something imporant
});
     
thread.Start();
thread.Join();
