Question

This is the traditional thread creation code:

        public static void Ping()
        {
            new Thread(workThreadPingRequest) { IsBackground = true }.Start();
        }

        private static void workThreadPingRequest()
        {
           line1(); //Create connection
           line2(); //Ask ping
           line3(); //Process the reply and close connection
        }

I’ve got many pairs like them. So how can I remove seperate worker thread function to make the code easier -to me- like below:

        public static void Ping()
        {
            new Thread(new Func<void> fn = () => 
                { line1(); line2(); line3();}) 
                { IsBackground = true }
                .Start();
        }

Or is it possible?

Have you tried using .NET 4’s Tasks?

Task.Factory.StartNew(() => {
    line1();
    line2();
    line3();
});
