Threading a routine with parameters?

[Amjad]

Hi,

To start a new thread of a sub routine I use:
'///////////
Dim t as Thread = New Thread (AddressOf MySub)
t.Start
'\\\\\\\\\\\

How do I start a thread of a sub routine that takes parameters?
For example:
'////////////
Sub MySub (filePath as String)
if File.Exists(filePath) Then File.Delete(filePath)
End Sub
'
'
Dim t as Thread = New Thread (AddressOf MySub("C:\test.txt"))
t.Start
'
'\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

I don't know if it is possible to do it with a non-member function. What I
usually do in this situation would be to declare a class that takes the
arguments I need in its constructor and then make the method I want to call
have no parameters so I can use it on the thread.

For Example:

Public Class ThreadWorker
Private path as String

Public Sub New(filePath as String)
path = filePath
End Sub

Public Sub MySub()
If File.Exists(path) Then File.Delete(path)
End Sub
End Class

....

Dim worker as new ThreadWorker("C:\test.txt")
Dim t as new Thread(AddressOf worker.MySub)
t.Start()

Hope this helps,
Brian

Excellent SIMPLE example but yet expandable to using many parameters that
works great! Thanks for posting.
