C# Threading.Suspend in Obsolete, thread has been deprecated?

Question

In my application, I am performing my file reading by another thread(other that GUI thread). There are two buttons that suspend and resume the Thread respectively.

Answer 1

The reason Suspend and Resume are deprecated is because there are no guarantees at what point in the execution the thread will be suspended on. This is a bad thing. The issue is described here as well as a solution.

The solution should involved a WaitHandle (maybe AutoResetEvent or ManualResetEvent) which you can use to signal to your autoReadThread to stop/start.
