I have an monitoring application that will have multiple threads constantly monitoring the CPU usage, memory usage, hard disk usage, etc. I create a separate thread to monitor each of this and it keeps on running under the while loop get the values for the same.

Now my question is what happens if I keep thread.IsBackGround = true and what happens if I keep thread.IsBackGround = false?

I know the difference between foreground and background thread. But I am not able get what would be the better for me to use. If I have multiple foreground threads running then if I stop the application will all foreground threads stop automatically? or I need to explicitly stop them?

In case background threads, those will be aborted by the system.

Please define the method for stopping the application. – Alexandru Lache Jun 28 '13 at 07:44

How is the application stopped? (Application.Exit(), closing threads, dropping AppDomain, windows message quit ...) Is called by code or by user in what way – Alexandru Lache Jun 28 '13 at 12:37
I think you'll find the answer after reading [this](http://www.c-sharpcorner.com/uploadfile/40e97e/what-is-foreground-or-background-thread/). :-) – Szabolcs Antal Dec 27 '15 at 21:27
