copied!<p>Well... Hope this helps...</p> <p>To run a method in other Thread, simply do:</p> <pre><code>new System.Threading.Thread(() => YourMethodName()).Start(); </code></pre> <p>This can be used multiple times.</p> <p>Note that this method returns void and does not receive any parameters.</p> <p>To achieve what you want, you need to do:</p> <pre><code>for (int i = 0; i <= 500; i++) { new System.Threading.Thread(() => YourMethodName()).Start(); } </code></pre> <p>Notes:</p> <p>a) With this code, you dont know when a thread will end. To verify when a thread is finished, you need to use the .IsAlive property. Example:</p> <pre><code>Thread t = new System.Threading.Thread(() => YourMethodName()); t.Start(); </code></pre> <p>To verify:</p> <pre><code>if (t.IsAlive) { // running } else { // finished } </code></pre> <p>2) Exceptions cannot be handled from outside. You need to handle all the exceptions inside the thread, otherwise the program will break if an exception is raised.</p> <p>3) You can't access UI elements inside the thread. To access the UI elements, you will need to use the Dispatcher.</p> <p><strong>Edit</strong></p> <p>You can do more things in other thread than just firing a method. </p> <p>You can pass parameters:</p> <pre><code>new System.Threading.Thread(() => YourMethodName(a, b, c)).Start(); </code></pre> <p>You can run more than a single method:</p> <pre><code>new System.Threading.Thread(() => { YourMethodName(a, b, c); OtherMethod(a); }).Start(); </code></pre> <p>And you can receive values returned from the thread:</p> <pre><code>int x = 0; new System.Threading.Thread(() => { x = YourMethodName(); }).Start(); </code></pre> <p>To know when the x receive the value from the thread, you can do (lets suppose an int): </p> <pre><code>int x { set { VariableSetted(value); } // fire the method } // put it in global scope, outside the method body </code></pre> <p>and</p> <pre><code>new System.Threading.Thread(() => { x = YourMethodName(); }).Start(); </code></pre> <p>and a method to run when the thread has returned the value:</p> <pre><code>public void VariableSetted(int x) { // Do what you want with the value returned from thread // Note that the thread started this method, so if you need to // update UI objects, you need to use the dispatcher. } </code></pre> <p>I don't know if you are using WPF to make the UI, but if is, to update the screen you can do this:</p> <pre><code>new System.Threading.Thread(() => { string result = YourMethodName(); this.Dispatcher.Invoke((Action)(() => { yourTextBox.Text = result; })); }).Start(); </code></pre> <p>You can also start nested threads (thread inside thread).</p>
