How to stop threads?

Question

Hi guys I start threads with such code:

    Thread[] thr;
    private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        decimal value = numericUpDown2

If you want to know how to terminate the thread gracefully, I'd recommend you to take a look the following example on MSDN:

using System;
using System.Threading;

public class Worker
{
    public void DoWork()
    {
        while (!_shouldStop)
        {
            Console.WriteLine("worker thread: working...");
        }
        Console.WriteLine("worker thread: terminating gracefully.");
    }
    public void RequestStop()
    {
        _shouldStop = true;
    }
    // Volatile is used as hint to the compiler that this data
    // member will be accessed by multiple threads.
    private volatile bool _shouldStop;
}

public class WorkerThreadExample
{
    static void Main()
    {
        Worker workerObject = new Worker();
        Thread workerThread = new Thread(workerObject.DoWork);
        workerThread.Start();
        Console.WriteLine("main thread: Starting worker thread...");

        while (!workerThread.IsAlive); // Loop until worker thread activates

        // Put the main thread to sleep for 1 millisecond to
        // allow the worker thread to do some work:
        Thread.Sleep(1);

        workerObject.RequestStop();

        // Use the Join method to block the current thread 
        // until the object's thread terminates.
        workerThread.Join();
        Console.WriteLine("main thread: Worker thread has terminated.");
    }
}
