(Sorry,my English is poor)I created a thread in my program to use an api.It is in a C++ library.This api is about to accept input messages from COM port.It is maybe a loop code.I have to wait for its timeout and then it will return information.Now I have to kill the thread to quit input messages from COM port.I've used Thread.Abort function to stop the thread,but not work.How can I make it?I think maybe I have to create a thread using unmanaged method and then I can kill it.

try t.Interrupt(); and then t.Abort();

Or:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Data;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Windows.Forms;
using System.Threading;
namespace WindowsFormsApplication1
{
    public partial class Form1 : Form
    {
        public Boolean run = true;
        public Form1()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
        }

        private void button2_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            Thread t = new Thread(new ThreadStart(trun));
            t.Start();
        }
        public void trun()
        {
            while (run == true)
            {
                MessageBox.Show("dfg");//doing something 
            }
        }

        private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            run = false;//change value to abort function(and thread(tested(see in Task Manager));
        }
    }
}
