You can run the code in an app domain and then just unload the app domain. Any code running in the app domain will be Thread.Abort'd by the CLR and all of the finalizers will run once the threads have been killed - and that should close the serial port or any other resources. Any code with finally blocks and the such will still be given a chance to cleanup as well. _______________________________________________ Users mailing list Users@lists.ironpython.com http://lists.ironpython.com/listinfo.cgi/users-ironpython.com
