How to run a thread in BackGround in C#

Threads either run in background or foreground. There is a property by which one can know thred running status.

Thread.CurrentThread.IsBackground

One can force thread to run in background or forground by setting the property

thread1.IsBackground = true; //thread will run in background

thread1.IsBackground = false; //thread will run in foreground

like in current example the new thread is running in background and the parent thread is running in foreground.
