Simple Threads

In the following listing, you learn to create and manage simple threads. Let's have a look at the code:

using System;
using System.Threading;

class MyThread
{
        static void Main()
        {
                MyThread sth = new MyThread();
                Thread thr = new Thread(new ThreadStart(sth.Message));
                thr.Start();
        }

        public void Message()
        {
                Console.WriteLine("Hello from thread");
        }
}

The following example works without explicitly creating an instance of an object:

using System;
using System.Threading;

class MyThread
{
        static void Main()
        {
                Thread thr = new Thread(new ThreadStart(Message));
                thr.Start();
        }

        static public void Message()
        {
                Console.WriteLine("Hello from thread");
        }
}

We create a class called MyThread. Inside the Main function, we create an instance of ...
