C# – Define Custom Thread

Define Custom thread:

• We need to pass the method(thread logic) as an argument by starting the new Thread as follows
  • Thread t = new Thread(new ThreadStart(method name));

Thread Life Cycle: Every thread has undergone different states in its Life.

1. New State: Thread object created but not yet started.
2. Runnable State: Thread waits in queue until memory allocated to run.
3. Running State: Threads running independently once they started.
4. Blocked State: The thread is still alive, but not eligible to run.
5. Terminated State: A thread terminates either by complete process or by occurrence of error
