Abort is not supported on this platform. Need guidence. How to solve this issue? i am working on splash screen.

Question

Answer 1

The cleanest way to stop a thread is by stopping them cooperatively, i.e. you pass an object to your thread to communicate that you want it to terminate. You can create one CancellationToken and pass it to any third-party calls you're executing in your thread:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/standard/threading/using-threads-and-threading#how-to-stop-a-thread
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/standard/threading/cancellation-in-managed-threads#code-example

Since .NET 5 the Thread.Abort method throws this exception, so either the thread needs to be cancelled or it needs to be ran as part of a separate process. If you use a separate process you can call Process.Kill to force it to terminate, although that may not be ideal depending on your application.

Answer 2

@sherry leo , as the Microsoft article said, Thread.Abort is obsolete.

Previously, calls to Thread.Abort did not produce compile-time warnings, however, the method did throw a PlatformNotSupportedException at run time.

You can refer to the following link to use CancellationToken and suppress the compile-time warning to try to solve your problem.

I am working like this i have tried join and timer but it didn't work and i have tried cancelation token too but cancelation token is not accepting splash screen. Any other alternative to start a form until the second form loads and then close it in .net5?
