.NET Forum / Languages / C# / September 2007Thread Timeout
Hi! Is there anyway to set a timeout for a Thread? Regards! You can use the Thread.Join method with an TimeSpan parameter, to set the length of time the process will wait for a Thread to exit. You can then handle what to do if the Thread does not exit by the end of the TimeSpan.

It's not clear exactly what you mean. You can call Thread.Join with a timeout, but threads are generally independent - it doesn't really make sense to think of a "general" timeout. Jon What he does when the Timeout occurs, and the process continues is not clear to me, so I omitted any mention of it. He may or may not want to kill the Thread, or do something else entirely. My point was that he can cause the process to wait for an arbitrary time for the Thread to exit, and do something afterwards, whatever his requirements may be.
