each button click starting a new thread

[lane0p2]

Hi All, i'm trying to write a program where the button1_Click event will start a new thread and everything within the button1_Click runs within this thread, rather than starting new threads within the button1_Click. so, i want this: thrd_1 = new Thread(new ThreadStart(button1_Click)); private void button1_Click(object sender, eventArgs e) { things to do 1 things to do 2 } rather than private void button1_Click(object sender, eventArgs e) { thrd_1.start() thrd_2.start() } i hope this makes sense! Many thanks, Phil

so what exactly is your question? from what it looks like you already have the answer. Prateek

Hi, thanks for replying so quickly. the problem is it won't compile. it errors saying - No overload for button1_Click matches delegate 'System.Threading.ThreadStart.

You must do it like in the second solution, the first one won't work. regards

The error message explains it... The ThreadStart delegate looks like this:

public delegate void ThreadStart()

Are you looking for something like this?

private void button1_Click(object sender, eventArgs e)
{
thrd_1 = new Thread(new ThreadStart(button1_Clickthread));
thrd_1.start()
}

private void button1_Clickthread()
{
things to do 1
things to do 2
}
