I was translating a threading example that I originally wrote in VB and C# was giving me a hard time about something that made no sense.
It turned out that in C#, a delegate for a ParameterizedThreadStart must literally use the object class in its signature.
For example in VB, I had this method
Public Sub UpcomingTripEmail(ByVal cust as Customer)..do some stuffEnd Sub
And I had no problem creating a Thread with it
Dim workerThread = New Thread(UpcomingTripEmail)
But when I tried it in C#
public void UpcomingTripEmails(Customer cust){..do some stuff}
The code for creating the thread
Thread workerThread = new Thread(emailThread.UpcomingTripEmails);complained that it had invalid arguments.
What it wanted was
public void UpcomingTripEmails(object cust){ var cust = (Customer)cust;...do some stuff
}
Picky picky picky!
