Create a new thread in VB.NET

Question

I am trying to create a new thread using an anonymous function but I keep getting errors. Here is my code:

New Thread(Function() 
    // Do something here
End Fu         


        

Answer 1

What is called has to be a functinon not a sub.

Single line(has to return value):

Dim worker As New Thread(New ThreadStart(Function() 42))

Multiline:

Dim worker As New Thread(New ThreadStart(Function()
                                                     ' Do something here
                                                 End Function))
