C# - ThreadPool QueueUserWorkItem Use?

Question

Just right now I\'m using following code to add queued threads. I don\'t like it. And my colleagues won\'t either because they don\'t know C# very well. All I want is of cou

What about this?

class Program
{
    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        ThreadPool.QueueUserWorkItem(MyWork, "text");
        Console.ReadKey();
    }

    private static void MyWork(object argument)
    {
        Console.WriteLine("Argument: " + argument);
    }
}

Or if you do not want to be signature restrictive and have a simple way of putting methods on a thread you can do it like this.For methods that do and do not return a value and have up to 6 parameters it would require you to define 12 overloads if I am not mistaken. It requires a bit more work up front, but is more simple to use.

class Program
{
    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        var myClass = new MyClass();
        myClass.DoWork();
        Console.ReadKey();
    }
}

public static class ObjectThreadExtension
{
    public static void OnThread(this object @object, Action action)
    {
        ThreadPool.QueueUserWorkItem(state =>
        {
            action();
        });
    }

    public static void OnThread(this object @object, Action action, T argument)
    {
        ThreadPool.QueueUserWorkItem(state =>
        {
            action(argument);
        });
    }
}

public class MyClass
{
    private void MyMethod()
    {
        Console.WriteLine("I could have been put on a thread if you like.");
    }

    private void MySecondMethod(string argument)
    {
        Console.WriteLine(argument);
    }

    public void DoWork()
    {
        this.OnThread(MyMethod);
        this.OnThread(MySecondMethod, "My argument");
    }
}
