Aborted = 256

The thread state includes AbortRequested and the thread is now dead, but its state has not yet changed to Stopped.

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.

The thread has been started, it is not blocked, and there is no pending ThreadAbortException.

StopRequested = 1

The thread is being requested to stop. This is for internal use only.

Suspended = 64

The thread has been suspended.

Unstarted = 8

The Thread.Start method has not been invoked on the thread.
