Question

Often, I need to do an expensive task then display results. So I ramp up a thread. Is there less code, or a better way to doing this than I am currently using?

Example:

ThreadStart job = new ThreadStart (delegate {
    Search d = new Search ();
    x = d.DoSomeWork();
    InvokeOnMainThread (delegate {
         ctl.Show (x);
          });
});

–start the thread here….

You can use the thread pool and simplify things a little bit.

ThreadPool.QueueUserWorkItem( delegate { /* … */ } );
