{
   //some processing
}

a thread function by

Thread t = new Thread (new ThreadStart (myfunc));

then some where

t.Start();

and can i pass any type of arguments to that?

Answer 1

In theory you can make any method execute in a separate thread, as long as you follow some rules (e.g. synchronization, invoke delegates to update ui, etc.).

From your question I understand that you do not have much experience with multi threaded programming, so I advise you to read a lot about threading and learn about the dangers and problems that can arise. You may also use the background worker class that take some of the responsibilities from you.

Also, yes, you can pass parameters to a thread method:

private class ThreadParameters
{
   ....
}

...

public void ThreadFunc(object state)
{
    ThreadParameters params = (ThreadParameters)state;
    ....
}

Thread t = new Thread(new ParameterizedThreadStart(ThreadFunc));
t.Start(new ThreadParameters() { ... });
