Question

Running into problems creating objects through reflection and then running them on multiple threads.

I just cannot seem to figure out what I need to here:

            For Each WorkerNode As XmlNode In oRunSettings.GetWorkerValues
                Dim sWorkerName = WorkerNode.Attributes(SETTING_NAME_ID).Value
                Dim oWorkerType As Type = Type.GetType(String.Format("Worker.{0}", sWorkerName))
                Dim oWorker As Object = Activator.CreateInstance(oWorkerType)
                Dim tWorker As Thread = New Thread(AddressOf oWorker.Process)
                tWorker.Start()
            Next

It is causing errors at the “AddressOf” because Object does not have a method called that. Do I need to do something with an interface?

I hate when people answer their own question, but while waiting for an answer, I realized that I could just cast the object as its base object, and set the reflection from there. That is working now.
