parameter in thread, this is a real thread??

in this code:

VB Code:

'make delegate with same signature
Public Delegate Sub DoOperationHandler(param1 as integer,param2 as integer)
 
'with params
Private Sub DoOperation(param1 as integer,param2 as integer)
    Result=param1+param2
    'Do your stuff...
End Sub
 
'you don't need this sub to fire the threaded method
Private Sub eheheheh()
    Dim x As New DoOperationHandler(AddressOf DoOperation)
    x.BeginInvoke(1,4,Nothing,Nothing)
End Sub

this launch a real thread?? how can a I interrupt, resume, abort and etc???

Thnak you,

no thats not a real " Thread " ( eg: seperate thread to the one you call it from )
since you can't use the AddressOf call in the same way in .NET as you could in vb6 , you sometimes need to create a Delegate which invokes the call you wish to make.

BeginInvoke runs it on another thread or Asynchronously but there is no way (that I know of) to get a thread object from it and you need a thread object to have that functionality. If you call EndInvoke it will work the same as Join on a thread. You can also check and do certain things with it through the IAsyncResult object that it returns.
