C# code snippet need help converting to VB

bubk

I am trying to convert this C# code to vb and am having some trouble, it is from a WCF project located here http://www.codeproject.com/KB/webservices/wcftransfer.aspx?msg=3269789 I did try a online C# to VB translator but what it spit out as code the VS IDE didn't like Here is the piece of code:

                        ThreadStart start = delegate
                        {
                            form = new TProgress(null, port);
                            form.sport = sport;
                            form.Show();
                            form.GetThread = new Thread(new ParameterizedThreadStart(form.GetInvoke));
                            form.GetThread.Start(transfer);
                        };
                        HelpClass.Form.BeginInvoke(start);

this is as far as I have gotten

                    'Dim start As New ThreadStart(AddressOf ) <--Not sure what this delegate is, AddressOf "what"?
                    Dim form As New TProgress(DBNull.Value, port)
                    form.sport = sport
                    form.Show()
                    form.GetThread = New Thread(New ParameterizedThreadStart(AddressOf form.GetInvoke))
                    form.GetThread.Start(Transfer)
                    'HelpClass.Form.BeginInvoke(start)

Thanks in advance...

Easy, put your VB code in a seperate method than create the ThreadStart using that method.

Private Sub SomeMethodName()
Dim form As New TProgress(DBNull.Value, port)
form.sport = sport
form.Show()
form.GetThread = New Thread(New ParameterizedThreadStart(AddressOf form.GetInvoke))
form.GetThread.Start(Transfer)
End Sub

And for the line you couldn't convert:

Dim start As New ThreadStart(AddressOf SomeMethodName)

Now, I'm not saying this code is going to work. Also, if this is doing what I think it's doing, it's a REALLY bad idea to create and show a form from a thread that is not the UI thread (the one your app started on).

Thanks Dave, I believe I understand now...Right now I just want to get the project converted to VB so I can try and understand how it works in VB...yes starting another thread to create and show a form does look like a REALLY bad idea, now that you mention it. thanks again for the help

Private Sub test()
Dim start As ThreadStart = Function() AnonymousMethod1()
HelpClass.Form.BeginInvoke(start)
End Sub

Private Function AnonymousMethod1() As Object
form = New TProgress(Nothing, port)
form.sport = sport
form.Show()
form.GetThread = New Thread(New ParameterizedThreadStart(AddressOf form.GetInvoke))
form.GetThread.Start(transfer)
Return Nothing
End Function
