Question

I am explaining my scenario, i have a function which print 1 to 10000 while printing i have to stop the process and let user know the current i value and if user presses enter it should continue again.

i am using

if ((Console.KeyAvailable) && (Console.ReadKey(true).Key == ConsoleKey.Escape))

but it doesn,t work, to complicate my task i am using threads, even if i manage to break this thread, child thread starts executing, i just want to stop the entire execution process for a moment and execute another function.

Check out the BackgroundWorker class, specifically, how to implement cancellation.

You’ll basically need to check inside the loop if a cancellation is pending. If it is, then exit the loop.
