Re: how to abort a thread in wince for pocket pc

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Even if there was an Abort method, the recommended approach is to periodically check from your worker thread a flag that indicates whether it should exit - you set the flag from your UI thread when you are about to exit your app. In other words, threads should not be killed rather they should be asked to commit suicide.

An example is here:

Note that with CF 2.0 there are more options (such as setting the IsBackground=true property and not worrying about your thread keeping the process alive).

Cheers
Daniel
