Column 53 is the T of ThreadStart.

I don't understand what is wrong. I' following the example given in the
MSDN doc, and from another book.

I suspect you're not *quite* following the example - you're calling a
method, rather than providing a method *name*. Normally you'd do:

Thread startThread = new Thread (new ThreadStart (plugin.StartPlugin));

Note that if your method takes a parameter, you can't use it as a
ThreadStart anyway.

Hi,

ThreadStart is a delegator of kind:

public delegate void ThreadStart();

Which means you have to provide its constructor a method with a return
type of VOID and does not receive any parameter.

and in addition, you have to provide only the method name, without the
().

In your code:
plugin.StartPlugin*(session)

you provide a parameter "session".

Eyal.

Thank you

I finally decided to use a delegate that I call asynchronously. I think
the result will be the same: a new thread will be created for this call.
