Value

true if the thread is or is to become a background thread; otherwise, false. [Edit]

Exceptions

Type	Reason
System.Threading.ThreadStateException	The thread has reached the ThreadState.Stopped state. [Edit]

Remarks

The default value of this property is false. The property value can be changed before the thread is started and before it terminates.

Note: A thread is either a background thread or a foreground thread. Background threads are identical to foreground threads except for the fact that background threads do not prevent a process from terminating. Once all foreground threads belonging to a process have terminated, the execution engine ends the process by invoking Thread.Abort(object) on any background threads that are still alive.
