Can't We pass Parameterized Method to a thread??

Ron S

Hello All, I am trying to call a method through thread . it is working if the method does not contain any parameter, if it has got a parameter then it will pop up error stating that method name expected. Am i missing something here to perform this action. Thanks

you need to use the ParameterizedThreadStart delegate which is part of the Threading namespace in .NET 2.0. i.e

public void RunThread()
{
 int parameter = 20;
 Thread t = new Thread(new ParameterizedThreadStart(SampleMethodWithParameters));
 t.Start(parameter);
}


private void SampleMethodWithParameters(object parameter)
{
 for(int index = 0; index < Convert.ToInt32(parameter); index++)
 {
   Console.WriteLine("HelloWorld " + index.ToString());
   Thread.Sleep(1000);
 }
}

edit: no idea why my half my FOR loop is being displayed but hopefully that should give you an idea. -- modified at 3:28 Wednesday 25th July, 2007
