    I am using following C# code to process request.

    Parallel.ForEach(reqs, parallelOptions, req => ProcesRequest(req));


    Inside ProcesRequest method can I set thread name. See following code:

    Thread.CurrentThread.Name = "Some name with " + i;

    Please suggest if above code is will give consistent thread names.

    Is it fine to write such code. And does it affect when lot of threads will get created.

    Is there any reusing of threads happens internally?

    Hi Omkaraaa,

    >> if above code is will give consistent thread names.

    It will give different names based on “i” parameter.

    >> Is there any reusing of threads happens internally?

    Yes, it will reuse the threads when previous threads finished.

    >> Is it fine to write such code. And does it affect when lot of threads will get created

    Thread.Name property is write-once, you will receive exception when you try to set name for a thread whose name already set.

    For your above code, it will throw exception when it reuses previous thread and set the name property.
