    </summary>
    <remarks>
      <para> A process can create
      and execute one or more threads to execute a portion of the program
      code associated with the process. A <see cref="T:System.Threading.ThreadStart" /> delegate is used to specify
      the program code
      executed by a thread.</para>
      <para>Some operating systems might
      not utilize the concepts of threads or preemptive scheduling. Also, the concept
      of "thread priority" might not exist at all or its meaning might vary, depending on
      the underlying operating system. Implementers of the <see cref="T:System.Threading.Thread" />
      
      type are required to describe their threading policies,
      including what thread priority means, how many threading priority
      levels exist, and
      whether scheduling is preemptive.</para>
      <para> For the duration of its existence, a thread is always in one
      or more of the states defined by <see cref="T:System.Threading.ThreadState" />. A scheduling priority level, as defined
      by <see cref="T:System.Threading.ThreadPriority" /> , can be requested for a thread, but it might
      not be honored
      by the operating system.</para>
      <para>If an unhandled exception is thrown in the code executed by a thread created
      by an application, a <see cref="F:System.AppDomain.UnhandledException" /> event is raised (<see cref="P:System.UnhandledExceptionEventArgs.IsTerminating" /> is set to <see langword="false" />), and the thread
      is terminated; the current process is not terminated.</para>

        <remarks>
          <para> When this method is invoked on a thread, the system
      throws a <see cref="T:System.Threading.ThreadAbortException" /> in the
      thread to abort it. Invoking <see cref="M:System.Threading.Thread.Abort(System.Object)" /> on a thread is similar
      to arranging for the target thread to throw a <see cref="T:System.Threading.ThreadAbortException" />. Because, unlike other
      exceptions, a <see cref="T:System.Threading.ThreadAbortException" /> is sent to another thread, the exception might
      be delayed. A <see cref="T:System.Threading.ThreadAbortException" /> is required to be delayed if and while the
      target thread is executing any of the following:

      of the abort procedure, thereby indefinitely delaying the abort. To ensure a thread has aborted, invoke <see cref="M:System.Threading.Thread.Join" />
