How can we use same thread object multiple times

Question

We want to call start method 4 times but we do not want to create thread object for each time. Is it possible to create one object of thread and call same method 4 times.

we tried different ways but new initialization require for every time when we are calling method.

Thread thr1 = new Thread(obj.value); thr1.Start(); // doing some operaton Thread thr2 = new Thread(obj.value); thr2.Start(); // doing some operaton Thread thr3 = new Thread(obj.value); thr3.Start(); // doing some operaton Thread thr4 = new Thread(obj.value); thr4.Start(); // doing some operaton but we do not want to inialize every time

we'll need more details is it not async? why not create a thread

You cannot run a thread more than once. If you want to reuse threads, then use the ThreadPool . A thread pool is a pool of worker threads which are always running. Those threads then normally take tasks from a list, execute them, then try to take the next task. If there's no task, the thread will wait. It will automatically handle your "work" and pushing it into a free thread, scheduling, and queuing tasks that can't be run because you're using all of the available threads.

not every time call in a sequence some other function call in between I gave just an example. all 4 methods call different time and different sequence

Why don't you use Task.Run() and use a loop in there to run the thing you want 4 times? It's not really necessary to create threads yourself..you know. This will run it in a thread pool

why the need for a thread,what your trying todo, you can do as below public void MethodName) { // Start the task executing: Task.Factory.StartNew(() => OtherMethod()); // Pass parameter if required //other code goes here as you require // Start the task executing: Task.Factory.StartNew(() => OtherMethod()); // Pass parameter if required //other code goes here as you require // Start the task executing: Task.Factory.StartNew(() => OtherMethod()); // Pass parameter if required } static string OtherMethod() { // }
