Passing parameters to a thread

1 New Member

Hi,

I called a function of a class from a form like:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

myController.BackupProc(myHandle);

In the class myController, I have the following code:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 
public virtual void BackupProc(IntPtr thisHandle)

{

      mBackgroundThread = new Thread(new ThreadStart(DoBackup));

      mBackgroundThread.Start();

}

i.e. I am trying to start a thread from this function backupproc that I called from the form.

In DoBackup(), I have to do the following:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 
private void DoBackup()

{

   this.invoke(new BackgroundThreadCB(HandleDeviceBusy));

}

This I can do if I do not call a seperate class, but keep the code on the same form which makes it too busy.

I want a way so that I can pass the 'this' instance of the form from the form to the class and through the thread.

The problem comes here when I want to pass the instance of the form through the thread.
I am trying to do something like:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 
myController.BackupProc(myHandle, this);

public virtual void BackupProc(IntPtr thisHandle, Form1 thisForm)

{

      mBackgroundThread = new Thread(new ParameterizedThreadStart(DoBackup(thisForm)));

      mBackgroundThread.Start();

}

this here gives me an error 'method required'. Kindly advise what needs to be done.
