Dear MathWorks team
In our .NET Framework 4.7.2 application we instanciate a class from a Matlab .NET assembly and call one function to calculate.
The call is done in a own background thread of the application.
If the calculation takes too long or the calculation request has been canceled, we just aborted the .NET thread with thread.Abort().
.NET core (at least v8) does not support the Abort() function anymore. The only general alternative suggestion I could find is to outsource the call into an own process and then kill the process if required. This seems to be quite complicated and Matlab takes a few seconds to initialize on the first call, which is too slow for us.
Is there any best practice / example how to achieve this?
Thanks in advance
