Setting thread priority.

[Frank Rizzo]

I set the thread priority via the following statement.

System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.Priority =
Threading.ThreadPriority.AboveNormal;

However, when I look at the thread priority in the Task Manager, it
reports it as Normal.

What am I missing here?

Frank,

However, when I look at the thread priority in the Task Manager, it
reports it as Normal.

As far as I know, Task Manager only lists processes, not threads.
You're probably seeing the process base priority.

You can download from SysInternals site their process explorer tools. With
this one, you are able to see the priority of threads within a given
process.

Thank you all. I figured out how to do it. The priority for the entire
process is changed via the following method:

System.Diagnostics.Process.GetCurrentProcess.PriorityClass =
ProcessPriorityClass.Idle
