Beginner Problem for Defining threads

Hello Everybody: I have a problem defining threads. Thread td = new Thread(new ThreadStart(ReadSocket)); public void ReadSocket(System.Net.Sockets.Socket soct) { } The error message I am getting is Method 'SocketServer.Form1.ReadSocket(System.Net.Sockets.Socket)' does not match delegate 'void System.Threading.ThreadStart()' How do I rectify the problem . I have to pass (System.Net.Sockets.Socket soct) in the public void ReadSocket() subroutine and start a new thread. Pls guide. Thanks, Kapil

Rahil, I feel that the real problem with your code is that, ReadSocket method is accepting arguements. You cannot pass an argument if you want to use threading. Instead use a different object for e.g class mySocketObject { public System.Net.Sockets.Socket myArgument; public void ReadSocket() { //code to process your socket stored in myArgument } } Your code will work with this, assign the value to the member myArgument and call Start the thread Hope this helps -NT

Does the ReadSocket method have a return type other than void, or any parameters? It must have the same prototype as the threadstart delegate: public delegate void ThreadStart();
