Namespace:  System.Threading
Assembly:  mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)

'Declaration
Public Sub Suspend
public void Suspend()
public:
void Suspend()
member Suspend : unit -> unit 
public function Suspend()

Remarks

If the thread is already suspended, this method has no effect.

Warning

Do not use the Suspend and Resume methods to synchronize the activities of threads. You have no way of knowing what code a thread is executing when you suspend it. If you suspend a thread while it holds locks during a security permission evaluation, other threads in the AppDomain might be blocked. If you suspend a thread while it is executing a class constructor, other threads in the AppDomain that attempt to use that class are blocked. Deadlocks can occur very easily.
