 property System::String ^ Name { System::String ^ get(); void set(System::String ^ value); };

Public Property Name As String

Property Value

A string containing the name of the thread, or null if no name was set.

Exceptions

.NET Framework only: A set operation was requested, but the Name property has already been set.

Remarks

In .NET Framework, this property is write-once, and because the default value of a thread's Name property is null, you can determine whether a name has already been explicitly assigned to the thread by comparing it with null.

The string assigned to the Name property can include any Unicode character.
