Question

I’m trying to figure out Win8 C# threading, I know I should be using the ThreadPool class, but what I dont know is how to write my method to work with that.

IAsyncAction MainThread = Windows.System.Threading.ThreadPool.RunAsync(new WorkItemHandler(mainLoop));

public void mainLoop() { ... }

That’s what my best attempt at this is so far, it’s telling me no overload for mainLoop matches the WorkItemHandler delegate, but I have no idea what that means or how to fix it.

Answer 1

It means that mainLoop must have the following signature:

public void mainLoop(
  IAsyncAction operation
)
