Question

Is it possible to call a non-static function that uses a public non-static class inside a static function in C#?

public class MyProgram
{
    private Thread thd = new Thread(myStaticFunction);
    public AnotherClass myAnotherClass = new AnotherClass();

    public MyProgram()
    {
        thd.Start();
    }

    public static void myStaticFunction()
    {
        myNonStaticFunction();
    }

    private void myNonStaticFunction()
    {
        myAnotherClass.DoSomethingGood();
    }
}

Well, the invalid code like above is what I need.

Any idea?

It sounds like you want to pass data to your thread. Try this:

public class MyProgram
{
    private Thread thd;
    public AnotherClass myAnotherClass = new AnotherClass();

    public MyProgram()
    {
        thd = new Thread(() => myStaticFunction(this));
        thd.Start();
    }

    public static void myStaticFunction(MyProgram instance)
    {
        instance.myNonStaticFunction();
    }

    private void myNonStaticFunction()
    {
        myAnotherClass.DoSomethingGood();
    }
}
