The constrctor for a Thread class accepts a ThreadStart delegate. Whatever method you pass to Thread constructor must match the ThreadStart delegate. The ThreadStart delegate has no parameters, and your ClientProcess method does; you need to remove the param from that method. If you need to pass values into your ThreadStart delegate you can do something like this:

using System;
using System.Threading;

namespace Tester
{
    public class MainApp
    {
        public static void Main( string[] args )
        {
            Worker worker = new Worker("Chris");
            Console.WriteLine("Before: Worker valid? {0}", worker.Valid);
            Thread t = new Thread(new ThreadStart(worker.DoSomething));
            t.Start();
            while(t.IsAlive && !worker.Valid)
            {
                Thread.Sleep(200);
            }
            Console.WriteLine("After: Worker valid? {0}", worker.Valid);
            Console.WriteLine("Done...");
            Console.ReadLine();
        }
    }
    public class Worker
    {
        private string _name = "";
        private bool _valid = false;
        public bool Valid
        {
            get
            {
                return _valid;
            }
            set
            {
                _valid = value;
            }
        }
        public string Name
        {
            get
            {
                return _name;
            }
            set
            {
                _name = value;
            }
        }
        public Worker(string name)
        {
            this._name = name;
        }
        public void DoSomething()
        {
            this._valid = true;
            Console.WriteLine("Hello {0} from the ThreadStart delegate", this.Name);
        }
    }
}
