C# Threading.Suspend in Obsolete, thread has been deprecated?

Question

In my application, I am performing my file reading by another thread(other that GUI thread). There are two buttons that suspend and resume the Thread respectively.

Answer 1

 //true makes the thread start as "running", false makes it wait on _event.Set()
  ManualResetEvent _event = new ManualResetEvent(true); 
  Thread _thread = new Thread(ThreadFunc);

  public void ThreadFunc(object state)
  {
      while (true)
      {
          _event.Wait();

          //do operations here
      }
  }


  _thread.Start();

  // to suspend thread.
  _event.Reset();

  //to resume thread
  _event.Set();

Note that all operations are completed before the thread is "suspended"

What you want

private void ThreadFunc(object fileName)
{
    string fileToUpdate = (string)fileName;
    while (Run)
    {
        _event.WaitOne(); 

        string data;
        using (StreamReader readerStream = new StreamReader(fileToUpdate))
        {
            data = readerStream.ReadToEnd();
        }

        if (Textbox.InvokeRequired)
        {
            UpdateTextCallback back = new UpdateTextCallback(UpdateText);
            Textbox.BeginInvoke(back, new object[] { data });
        }

                Thread.Sleep(1000); 
    }       
}


private void UpdateText(string data)
{
    Textbox.Text = data;
}
