Threading
-
Hi, the Main() method of an app has to be static, that is where the app starts. Apart from that, no method has to be static. I typically create a "Job" class that holds the job's parameters and then creates a thread and runs it, nothing static in there. :)

Sure... The
statickeyword has nothing to do with how the code is executed, but only with where it lives (instance or type). Static/not static is simply irrelevant when it comes to different threads. In the end, it's all bytes that run through the processor, no matter where they come from...

Can you use threading without a static method?
I don't see any static methods other than main in the example code in the documentation for BackgroundWorker[^], do you?
