Summary

Specifies the scheduling priority of a Thread.

Description

ThreadPriority values specify the relative scheduling priority of threads.

Operating systems are not guaranteed to support preemptive scheduling. Also, the concept of "thread priority" may not exist at all or its meaning may vary, depending on the underlying operating system. Implementers of this type are required to describe how the notion of thread priority maps to operating system priority. For more information about threads, see the Thread class.

The System.Threading.Thread.Priority property sets and returns the priority value information for a thread. Applications can request a scheduling priority for a thread by setting the System.Threading.Thread.Priority property to the appropriate ThreadPriority value. The default thread priority is System.Threading.ThreadPriority.Normal .

[Note: A thread cannot be scheduled if it is in the System.Threading.ThreadState.Unstarted state or the System.Threading.ThreadState.Stopped state. ]
