ThreadStart with parameter.

[Victor Hadianto]

Hello,

Can someone explain to me why are we not allowed to have a parameter on the
ThreadStart delegate? Does anyone know the design decision behind this
feature? This, IMO, rather annoying when we want to create a quick thread to
execute a function.

Thanks,

Victor

Hi Victor,

Did you consider using delegates for this purpose?
Anyway, you might read this fine article from Jon Skeet:

I don't know why in terms of a design decision, but here is a page of
workarounds:
