ParameterizedThreadStart function must be static?

Question

Hello all,

Is it necessary to declare the function that is passed as the "ParameterizedThreadStart" argument as static?

Answer 1

No.  See the sample in ParameterizedThreadStart on MSDN: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.threading.parameterizedthreadstart.aspx

The "DoMoreWork" sample delegate is an instance method, not a static method.

No not at all, but you would have to instantiate the target object and pass in its reference. Just make sure the reference stays alive, otherwise the thread will have the rug pulled out from under it.
