(I should really switch to another blog platform, I didn’t find a decent way to write code in Blogspot).
class ThreadCrashTest { static void Main() { new Thread(Foo).Start(); for (int i = 0; i < 10; ++i) { Console.WriteLine(i); Thread.Sleep(100); } } private static void Foo() { Console.WriteLine("Crashing"); throw new Exception(""); } }
According to Yan, the behavior on .NET 3 is to crash the AppDomain instead of the entire process.
