Threading: does c# have an equivalent of the Java Runnable interface?

Question

Does c# have an equivalent of the Java Runnable interface?

If not how could this be implemented or is it simply not needed?

thanks.

Answer 1

The closest to a high level task-oriented threading API would be a BackgroundWorker. As others have mentioned, .NET (and thus C#) use delegates for representing a callable method. Java doesn't have that concept (function pointers), and instead uses interfaces for callable objects.
