WorkerThread类是围绕基本.NET线程类的一个高层包装类。WorkerThread类定义为：
public class WorkerThread : IDisposable {
public WorkerThread();
public WorkerThread(bool autoStart);
public int ManagedThreadId {get;}
public Thread Thread {get;}
public WaritHandle Handle {get;}
public void Start();
public void Dispose();
public void Kill();
public void Join();
public bool Join(int millisecondsTimeout);
public bool Join(TimeSpan timeout);
public string Name {get;set;}
public bool IsAlive {get;}
public void Dispose();
}
WorkerThread提供了简单的线程创建和其他特性，包括终止线程的Kill()方法(而不是使用Abort())。Thread类中的一些有潜在危险的方法没包含在WorkerThread的接口中，但是好的方法仍然保留了下来。WorkerThread还强调我们已经讨论过的关于使用.NET线程的最佳实践。下面的示例说明了WorkerThread的执行。由于Thread类是sealed的，在定义WorkerThread时，必须使用包含(containment)而不是派生。WorkerThread拥有Thread类型的m_ThreadObj成员变量，代表了低层的被包装的线程。如果想要进行直接线程操作，可以通过WorkerThread的Thread属性访问底层线程。
