I have a code like this:

C#

while (true)
            {
                _isoMsgProcessEvent.WaitOne();
                while (_isoRxFrameQueue.Count > 0)
                {
                    Iso15765Frame rxFrame = null;
                    lock (_isoRxFrameQueue)
                    {
                        rxFrame = _isoRxFrameQueue.Dequeue();
                        //Do all processing for the recieved iso frame.
                        
                    }
                    ProcessTxMsg(rxFrame);
                }
                _isoMsgProcessEvent.Reset();
            }

This is happening in a worker thread. In this i have to handle ThreadAbort exception.
Can someone explain best way to do the cleanup for thread. What all things might happen if such exception is thrown.

This is how i have started this thread:

C#

_isoProcessingThread = new System.Threading.Thread(new System.Threading.ThreadStart(ProcessIsoMessagesProc));

use try-catch to catch the ThreadAbortException and do your clean up in the catch block.

There is nothing wrong with the way you use threads, but I though make you aware of the Task Parallel Library introduced in .NET 4.0.
Sacha Barber has written a series of articles about it here is the first one
