Question

I want to start a new thread for one simple method but that method has variables I need to pass it.

    Thread tempmovethread = new Thread(new ThreadStart(widget.moveXYZINCHES(xval,yval,zval));

I am getting the error: “Method name expected”.

That is the right method name and I did something very similar to this in an earlier bit of code and it worked, the only difference is the method I called before didnt need any variables to be passed:

    executethread = new Thread(new ThreadStart(execute.RunRecipe));

Is it possible to start a new thread and pass the variables like this, or do I have to do it another way?

Use an Action to create the correct delegate type.

Thread tempmovethreading = new Thread(new ThreadStart(new Action(() => widget.moveXYZINCHES(xval,yval,zval)));
