Hi, You must use a ParameterizedThreadStart. Look for the following example. using System; using System.Threading; public class Work { public static void Main() { // To start a thread using a shared thread procedure, use // the class name and method name when you create the // ParameterizedThreadStart delegate. C# infers the // appropriate delegate creation syntax: // new ParameterizedThreadStart(Work.DoWork) // Thread newThread = new Thread(Work.DoWork); // Use the overload of the Start method that has a // parameter of type Object. You can create an object that // contains several pieces of data, or you can pass any // reference type or value type. The following code passes // the integer value 42. // newThread.Start(42); // To start a thread using an instance method for the thread // procedure, use the instance variable and method name when // you create the ParameterizedThreadStart delegate. C# infers // the appropriate delegate creation syntax: // new ParameterizedThreadStart(w.DoMoreWork) // Work w = new Work(); newThread = new Thread(w.DoMoreWork); // Pass an object containing data for the thread. // newThread.Start("The answer."); } public static void DoWork(object data) { Console.WriteLine("Static thread procedure. Data='{0}'", data); } public void DoMoreWork(object data) { Console.WriteLine("Instance thread procedure. Data='{0}'", data); } } /* This code example produces the following output (the order of the lines might vary): Static thread procedure. Data='42' Instance thread procedure. Data='The answer' */ Best regards, John.
