Why is there no detach method for threads in C# like in C++?

Question

.NET

Can someone explain why C# doesn't have a method like detach for threads like C++ does?

Answer 1

I'm not a C++ expert, so please correct me if I'm wrong.
As far as I understand, detach in C ++ is needed to "detach" a child thread from the main one? Those. If the main thread terminates, does the child continue to run?
For Thread in C# there is a property IsBackground https://docs.microsoft.com/ru-ru/dotnet/api/system... maybe this is the analogue you need?

Answer 2

"There are two types of threads: foreground and background threads. Background threads are automatically terminated when the foreground threads finish"

--- Article

"We can change the types of threads ourselves. The IsBackground thread property determines whether the thread is in the background. Thus, we can make the thread a priority"
