I'm currently trying to see what's happening with a thread, I've created in a C# application. The thread is of type System.Threading.Thread and is embedded inside an internal object (and I have access to the thread inside that object while debugging).
I'm checking the application, using "Process Explorer".
Process Explorer has a "Threads" tab with columns "TID", "CPU", "Cycles Delta", "Suspend Count" and "Start Address".
In order to identify the thread I've started (in the debugger), I believe I can look for either the TID (Thread ID) or the start address, where I believe the thread ID to be the clearest.
However, at first sight I don't see any property/field/attribute in the System.Threading.Thread class which looks like a thread ID.
Does anybody know which attribute/property/field of System.Threading.Thread corresponds with Process Explorer's TID column?
Edit: there seems to be a ManagedThreadId but that's not it.
Essentially, Managed Threads are not Native Threads, looking for a correlation in Task Manager will not be suitable. For more information see CLR Threading Overview - Managed vs. Native Threads
Managed code executes on "managed threads," which are distinct from the native threads provided by the operating system. A native thread is a thread of execution of native code on a physical machine; a managed thread is a virtual thread of execution on the CLR's virtual machine.

However, if you are using Visual studio you can use the Thread Window to debug managed threads.
