How to terminate a thread that is listening on a port

Question

C++ / C#

There is an application, on the button "Start" in a separate flow the port is listened. It is necessary to pause the flow on the "Stop" button. The problem is that while (true) is there and when the Thread.Abort () method is called, a blocking occurs. Please tell me how to solve this problem.

Answer 1

Why are you using Thread? Why not a BackgroundWorker with while (!worker.CancellationPending)?

Answer 2

Abort does not interrupt the execution of the thread, but only tells it that someone wants to abort it.
Replace while(true) with while(Thread.CurrentThread.ThreadState & (ThreadState.AbortRequested)
