    My ApplicationManager object is running in a thread called _updaterThread.
    I'm unable to kill it. After this code executes, I can still see the
    process in Task Manager. Is this the proper way to kill it? Do I have to
    call _updaterThread.Abort ?

    _updater.StopUpdater();
    if( null != _updaterThread )
    {
     // join the updater thread with a suitable timeout
     bool isThreadJoined = _updaterThread.Join( UPDATERTHREAD_JOIN_TIMEOUT );
     // check if we joined, if we didn't interrupt the thread
     if( !isThreadJoined )
     {
      _updaterThread.Interrupt();
     }
     _updaterThread = null;
    }
