c#: lowering priority of Task.Factory.StartNew thread

Question

Hello,

If you are reading this (hoping you will be able to help me!), you most probably know that a code like below will start a new thread to do the job. Is there any way I can control the priority of that thread?

Task.Factory.StartNew(() => {
    // everything here will be executed in a new thread.
    // I want to set the priority of this thread to BelowNormal
});

Thanks :)

This is one of "not to do" when you decide whether to use thread pool or not ;-)

So the answer is "No, you cannot specify particular priority for thread created in Theads Pool"

As of general threadings I bet you already know about Thread.Priority property
