This brief blog post is about how I recently implemented a parameterized thread start in CSharp. I’ve come across the problem that I wanted to start a new thread, pass a method/void to the Thread-constructor and this void should accept one parameter (also works with multiple parameters).

I managed to accomplish this task with the following code:

ThreadStart start = () => { InstallUpdateAsync(f); };
Thread t = new Thread(start);
t.Start();

InstallUpdateAsync is the method my thread is supposed to execute and f is the parameter I pass to this void.

This code is also compatible to the .NET Framework 2.0. I’ve adapted this code snippet from StackOverflow.
