Syntax

Visual Basic
C#

'Declaration
 
Public Shared Function CreateThread( _
   ByVal start As ThreadStart _
) As Thread

'Usage
 
Dim start As ThreadStart
Dim value As Thread
 
value = ThreadFactory.CreateThread(start)

public static Thread CreateThread( 
   ThreadStart start
)

Parameters

start: A ThreadStart delegate that represents the methods to be invoked when this thread begins executing

Return Value

A new Thread object

Remarks

The purpose of CreateThread is to provide a layer of abstraction between code which wants to create a new thread and the creation of that thread. This layer is used for ensuring that all threads are initialized appropriately. This means ensuring that the new Thread's CurrentCulture and CurrentUICulture properties are set. Use this method to replace lines like this:- Thread thread = new Thread(new ThreadStart(DoWork));

Requirements
