Question

I’m trying to use a Thread in a simple winform. I have a ListBox which I want to fill with numbers at the form’s load method. I don’t want to wait until it is filled. I’m using something like this:

void fillList()         {              Invoke(new MethodInvoker(                 delegate                 {                     while(true)                     {                         i++;                         listBox1.Items.Add(i);                         if(i == 4000)                         break;                       }                        }));          } 

Then at the Load method I’m doing this:

Thread tr = new Thread(fillList()); tr.Start(); 

Why it isn’t working?

I get this error: Method name expected (CS0149)

Thanks.

 Thread tr = new Thread(fillList);
