Hi,

I'm trying to get parent thread name/info in child thread. I want to do that; My classes need to use parent thread info for connect to database. My application running multithread and each threads classes connecting diffrent connection string. So when my parent threads create sub thread, sub threads should use parent thread classes connection string.

How can take parent thread informations in sub threads?

Thanks,
Gökhan

I tried to answer, but I wonder: why? Don't you think using such relationships between thread would not be a good programming practice.

Also, you should always tag your platform and language. It's really hard to try to take into account all thinkable OS. :-)

Yes You are right. This is not a good idea but our application is currently using. If I manage to all sql connection, we have to change all current code blocks. So I'm tring to find simple method for to do this. I thought that; If I take thread info in base class, I can manage all classes connections by using parent Thread classes connecton.

I will resource another ways.. :)

Thanks

Not quite clear, but having some legacy code can explain many things... Thank you for answering.

Threads don't have names. To best of my knowledge, parent-child relationships between threads are not generally preserved by the OS. They are hosted by a certain process, of course. In other words, threads of the same process are equal in their relationships, no one is known to be a parent or a child of another one. You can only preserve some relationships like that, if you actually pass some parent thread information to the child thread when you create them.
