How to pause and resume a thread?

[endazyar]

Hi all, I'm studying on a traffic simulation project right now. However i have problem with pausing the threads. Each car is considered as a thread in my app. When the simulation is running i want to pause it. Thread.suspend( ) method doesnt work, since i have to stop the thread from altering data. Let's say if there is a car on the road, and i click on pause button, the car should stay there.
Any ideas ?

Thanks in advance.

Thread.Suspend( ) is obsolete. They recomend using Monitor, Mutex, Event, or Semaphores for controlling Threads.

I've never gotten real in-depth with that stuff, so I cannot give you better advice then to look up how to use some of those classes

I would look into Thread.Sleep to stop the thread and Thread.Interrup t to restart it.

Hope that helps :)

NOTE: MSDN has a nice article on pausing & resuming threads.
