How to stop Thread in Managed C++ Code

Hi,
 
I have managed C++ code in which i am using Thread.
I have started Thread like below
 
ThreadStart* threadStart = new ThreadStart(pThread, CThread::MyFile);
Thread* oThread = new Thread(threadstart);
oThread->Start();
 
Once my requested job done. I have to stop thread. How can i do this?
Is it really required to stop the thread? I was assuming that once my requested job will done, Thread will automatically stop itself.
 
Any suggestion?
 
Regards,
AJ83

One of the way is Thread.Abort, but read very thoroughly about it to understand how exactly it works -- this is not trivial and takes really delicate reasoning to use it safely. I use it, but I know what I do; and many consider this matter as very contradictory (but most don't know how it's really works). I don't want to cause a flame war here. Another way is cooperative: the thread should exit its main method to get finished; and the other threads can only signal the suggestion to terminate... --SA

Please see my comments to the question. As you say "once my requested job is done", you don't need to do anything.
The thread will exit the method threadstart and it will stop it.
 
As to the object oThread, it will be destroyed by GC eventually, after the object becomes unreacheable.
