Name a Thread

Is there any way to name a thread in the MF? Something like Thread.Name in the full size framework.

I could be wrong, but it looks like that property doesn't exist in the MF:

You can, of course, create a thread as a variable:

var foo = new Thread(bar);foo.Start();

But that may not be what you're looking for.

I haven't been able to find one yet. But it's interesting that in Visual Studio is does show a field for name when you look in the thread window. I'm hoping that maybe someone has found a way around this.

I'm pretty sure you can not set the thread name; that it's either not available in netmf, or at best would mean changing a build option of the firmware if it is capable.

In my case, I get around it by having my worker threads emit a log message identifying themselves by id.  Then at least I can correlate it in my logs.  E.g.

Debug.Print("XXX starting on thread: " + Thread.CurrentThread.ManagedThreadId);
