Threading A Nitemare

[carlblanchard]

Hey all

here goes

i have in my form a call to an object in my class i wish for this to execute in a new thread so

on the fom something like

Dim t As New Thread(AddressOf objSpider.SpiderURL)
            t.Name = "Spider Thread"
            t.Start()

this then calls a FUNCTION in my class

Public Function Spider() As Boolean

i wish to return a string from this class, therefore im using a function and just returning the string by RETURN BLAH
however as soon as i start threading i get problems

cant thread on a function so change to sub and then i cant return anything


can anyone advise

You may want to create a class whose only purpose is to hold some data - update this with your threaded sub, then read from another thread.
