With ThreadStart class

With ThreadStart class, you can avoid explicit delegation to thread.

Note this

delagate a job to a

thread ThreadStart job = new ThreadStart(cycle.Count);

Create a thread and link with delegation

Thread thread = new Thread(job);

You may name the thread (optional)

thread.Name ="secondary thread ";

Start the thread

thread.Start();

MSDN Notes

Beginning in version 2.0 of the .NET Framework,
        // it is not necessary to create a delegate explicityly.
        // Specify the name of the method in the Thread constructor,
        // and the compiler selects the correct delegate. For example:
        //
        // Thread newThread = new Thread(Work.DoWork);

When a managed thread is created, the method that executes on the thread is represented by a ThreadStart delegate or a ParameterizedThreadStart delegate that is passed to the Thread constructor. The thread does not begin executing until the System.Threading.Thread.Start method is called. Execution begins at the first line of the method represented by the ThreadStart or ParameterizedThreadStart delegate.

The example below shows how to delegate a thread and schedules two processes.

using System;
using System.Threading;
using System.Diagnostics;
// csc thread_delegation.cs
//also imples to ThreadStart examples
public class Test
{
static void Main()
{
thread_count cycle = new thread_count();
ThreadStart job = new ThreadStart(cycle.Count);
//job.Name= "Master counter" ;
//copy to anothr thread
Thread thread = new Thread(job);
thread.Name ="secondary thread ";
thread.Start();
for (int i=0; i < 3; i++)
{
Console.WriteLine ("Main thread:------- {0}", i);
Thread.Sleep(1000);
}

Console.ReadLine();
}
}

public class thread_count
{
public void Count()
{
Console.WriteLine ("name thread:---count down---- {0}",Thread.CurrentThread.Name.ToString());
for (int i=0; i < 10; i++)
{
Console.WriteLine ("Other thread: {0}", i);
Thread.Sleep(500);
}

//Process newProc = Process.Start("iexplore.exe");
Process newProc = Process.Start("notepad.exe");
Console.WriteLine("New process started...Must close the application you open with");
newProc.WaitForExit();
newProc.Close();

}
}

The process continues as a countdown and then opens an application that you must close. There are two system utilities are involved threading and diagnostics. You can open any program and force the console windows remain open till the applications are open.

unless you close the application on the thread, cursor will not return to console window.

Below is the revised version of the same

using System;
using System.Threading;
using System.Diagnostics;
// csc thread_delegation_schedule.cs
//also imples to ThreadStart examples
public class Test
{
static void Main()
{
thread_count cycle = new thread_count();
ThreadStart job = new ThreadStart(cycle.Count);
//job.Name= "Master counter" ;
//copy to anothr thread
Thread thread = new Thread(job);
thread.Name ="secondary thread ";
thread.Start();
for (int i=0; i < 3; i++)
{
Console.Write("Thread no:{0}",Thread.CurrentThread.GetHashCode().ToString());
Console.WriteLine (" Main thread:--- {0}", i);
//pause intermitantly that allows another thread to work
//with in the life time of this thrad
Thread.Sleep(1000);
}

Console.ReadLine();
}
}

public class thread_count
{
public void Count()
{
Console.WriteLine ("name thread:---count down---- {0}",Thread.CurrentThread.Name.ToString());
for (int i=0; i < 10; i++)
{
Console.WriteLine ("Other thread: {0}", i);
Thread.Sleep(500);
}

//Process newProc = Process.Start("iexplore.exe");
Process newProc = Process.Start("notepad.exe");
Console.WriteLine("New process started...Must close the application you open with");
newProc.WaitForExit();
newProc.Close();

}
}
