My main program starts a thread. My question is what happens to the thread
when the main program goes away? Does the thread exits automaticly with the
main, or does the main program need to make sure that it stops the thread
before it terminating itself?

Thanks.

Why not try it? :-)

Unless the new thread is not a background thread (t.IsBackground = True),
the process does not exit before all threads exited.
