End Module

Output

Thread information:
        Name of the thread: MyNewThread

Explanation

In the above program, we imported the System.Threading namespace to implement multithreading in the program. After that, we created a module Module1. The Module1 contains Main() function.

The Main() is the entry point for the program, we created the reference of Thread class and assigned the object of the current thread using the CurrentThread property. After that, we used the Priority property of the Thread class and print the priority of the current thread on the console screen.
