Passing Data to a Thread Entry Method

[jmcilhinney]

hello thanks jmcilhinney for this brief,

in the class approach of this threading, will this method avoid data overwriting (race condition) since the same DoWork will be used by multiple threads
since you say

Private Sub InitiateThread()
    Dim w As New Worker
 
    w.Data = 100
 
    Dim t As New Thread(AddressOf w.DoWork)
 
    t.Start()
End Sub

But it's not the same DoWork method. You're creating a new Worker object each time and each of those objects has its own Data property and DoWork method. It would only be if you used the same Worker object each time or Worker was a module or a class with Shared members that you would experience interference between threads.
