The method can either be parameter-less or parameterized. There are two delegates that are provided by the framework to wrap these functions:
- System.Threading.ThreadStart
- System.Threading.ParameterizedThreadStart
We will learn both of these through examples. Before showing you how to create a thread, I will try to explain how a synchronous program works. Later on, we will introduce multithreading so that we understand the ...
