Suspending Threads

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry

Hi all,

I have an application which has some worker threads which often have to stop
and wait for some further information from other threads. These pauses will
often take a long time (a couple of minutes) and I want the thread to be
able to begin work ASAP once the new information arrives so Thread.Sleep
isn't the best solution. In .NET 1.1 I used .Suspend and .Resume to handle
these pauses but in .NET 2.0 these methods are no longer favoured. I have
been using .Sleep(Infinite) and .Interupt instead and this seems to be
working okay, but is this the best way to replace .Suspend and .Resume? Are
there better alternatives available?
