Little question about threading... is this right?

I dont know that much about threading, so I just looked at the namespace and I came up with this. Basically I want the sub to run on a separate thread:

VB Code:

Private Sub pnlThumbs_Paint(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.PaintEventArgs) Handles pnlThumbs.Paint
        Dim t As New Threading.Thread(AddressOf LoadVisibleThumbs)
        t.Start()
    End Sub

it works fine. I just want to make sure I'm doing it right.

btw I get this in the output window:
The thread '<No Name>' (0x8a0) has exited with code 0 (0x0).

Seems like you are doing it just fine. The output window is just saying that the thread has ended with no errors.
