public enum ThreadStateFields
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| Aborted | The thread state includes AbortRequested and the thread is now dead, but its state has not yet changed to Stopped. |
| AbortRequested | The Thread.Abort method has been invoked on the thread, but the thread has not yet received the pending System.Threading.ThreadAbortException that will attempt to terminate it. |
| Background | The thread is being executed as a background thread, as opposed to a foreground thread. This state is controlled by setting the Thread.IsBackground property. |
| Running | The thread has been started, it is not blocked, and there is no pending ThreadAbortException. |
| Stopped | The thread has stopped. |
| StopRequested | The thread is being requested to stop. This is for internal use only. |
| Suspended | The thread has been suspended. |
| SuspendRequested | The thread is being requested to suspend. |
| Unstarted | The Thread.Start method has not been invoked on the thread. |
| WaitSleepJoin | The thread is blocked. This could be the result of calling Thread.Sleep or Thread.Join, of requesting a lock � for example, by calling Monitor.Enter or Monitor.Wait or of waiting on a thread synchronization object such as ManualResetEvent. |
