or to have a default constructor:

public class MyClass<T> where T : new( )

Example 8-15 is missing this code:

~WorkerThread()

{

Kill();

}

IsAlive should be:

public bool IsAlive

{

get

{

if(m_ThreadHandle.SafeWaitHandle.IsClosed)

{

return false;

}

Debug.Assert(m_ThreadObj != null);

bool handleSignaled = m_ThreadHandle.WaitOne(0,true);

while(handleSignaled && m_ThreadObj.IsAlive)

{

Thread.Sleep(0);

}

return m_ThreadObj.IsAlive;

}

}

Remove this text:

However, because Kill() is called on the client thread, the WorkerThread
object must store a Thread object referring to the worker thread as a member
variable. Fortunately, there is already such a member-the m_ThreadObj member
variable. You can only store the thread value in the thread method; you
can't store it in the constructor, which executes on the creating client's
thread. This is exactly what Run() does in this line:

m_ThreadObj = Thread.CurrentThread;
