creating threads

BobLewiston

Can someone please break down a simple statement for a relative newbie?

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

Thread firstThread = new Thread (new ThreadStart (Method1));

In other words, what is happening at each stage here:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

new ThreadStart (Method1)

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

new Thread (new ThreadStart (Method1))

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

Thread firstThread = new Thread (new ThreadStart (Method1));

Thanks for any help you can give.

I'd recommend MSDN for things such as this, but here's a summary for you.

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

new ThreadStart (Method1)

A Thread needs somewhere to start, which obviously will be a Method. Normally this will be
a parameterless method with no return. e.g.

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

private void DoStuff()

Overall we call this starting point a ThreadStart, and we pass in a method to the constructor.

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

new Thread (new ThreadStart (Method1))

This simply takes what we had before 1 step further. We are now constructing a new Thread, and passing
a ThreadStart to the constructor (which in this case is being constructed on the same line of code). This
tells the Thread whereabouts it should start.

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

Thread firstThread = new Thread (new ThreadStart (Method1));

You're now taking it further by saving a reference to your Thread in a parameter called firstThread so you
can then refer to it later.
