Receive Paremeters on Multithreaded Server

[rex64]

I have created a multi-threaded server but can not figure out how to send an object/string. I think I have the ability to receive it already.

Server created:

serverThread = New Threading.Thread(AddressOf startHosting)

How do I specify an object or string parameter here?

connection.Connect(ip, port)

When new users connect my thread accepts an object parameter:

Private Sub clientWorker(ByVal param As Object)
End Sub
