A more convenient way to pass parameters to method is using lambda expressions or anonymous methods, why because you can pass the method with the number of parameters it needs. ParameterizedThreadStart is limited to methods with only ONE parameter.
Thread t = new Thread(()=>myMethod(myGrid));
t.Start();
public void myMethod(UltraGrid myGrid)
{
}
if you had a method like
public void myMethod(UltraGrid myGrid, string s)
{
}
Thread t = new Thread(()=>myMethod(myGrid, "abc"));
t.Start();
Thats a great book to read!
Change your thread initialization to:
var t = new Thread(new ParameterizedThreadStart(myMethod));
t.Start(myGrid);
And also the method to:
public void myMethod(object myGrid)
{
var grid = (UltraGrid)myGrid;
}
public void myMethod(object myGrid)
{
var typedParam = (UltraGrid)myGrid;
//...
}
Thread t = new Thread(new ParameterizedThreadStart(myMethod));
t.Start(myGrid);
