Thread.Start Method

Definition

Causes a thread to be scheduled for execution.

Overloads

Start()

Causes the operating system to change the state of the current instance to Running.

Start(Object)

Causes the operating system to change the state of the current instance to Running, and optionally supplies an object containing data to be used by the method the thread executes.

Start()

Source:
Thread.cs
Source:
Thread.cs
Source:
Thread.cs

Causes the operating system to change the state of the current instance to Running.

Attributes

Exceptions

The thread has already been started.

There is not enough memory available to start this thread.

Examples

The following example creates and starts a thread.

using namespace System;
using namespace System::Threading;

public ref class ThreadWork
{
public:
   static void DoWork()
   {
      for ( int i = 0; i < 3; i++ )
      {
         Console::WriteLine( "Working thread..." );
         Thread::Sleep( 100 );
      }
   }
};

int main()
{
   ThreadStart^ myThreadDelegate = gcnew ThreadStart(&ThreadWork::DoWork);
   Thread^ thread1 = gcnew Thread( myThreadDelegate );
   thread1->Start();
   for ( int i = 0; i < 3; i++ )
   {
      Console::WriteLine( "In main." );
      Thread::Sleep( 100 );
   }
}
// The example displays output like the following:
//       In main.
//       Working thread...
//       In main.
//       Working thread...
//       In main.
//       Working thread...
using System;
using System.Threading;

public class ThreadWork
{
   public static void DoWork()
   {
      for(int i = 0; i<3;i++) {
         Console.WriteLine("Working thread...");
         Thread.Sleep(100);
      }
   }
}
class ThreadTest

   public static void Main()
   {
      Thread thread1 = new Thread(ThreadWork.DoWork);
      thread1.Start();
      for (int i = 0; i<3; i++) {
         Console.WriteLine("In main.");
         Thread.Sleep(100);
      }
   }
}
// The example displays output like the following:
//       In main.
//       Working thread...
//       In main.
//       Working thread...
//       In main.

        for _ = 0 to 2 do 
            printfn "Working thread..."
            Thread.Sleep 100

let thread1 = Thread ThreadWork.doWork
thread1.Start()
for _ = 0 to 2 do 
    printfn "In main."
    Thread.Sleep 100

// The example displays output like the following:

//       Working thread...
//       In main.
//       Working thread...
//       In main.
//       Working thread...
Imports System.Threading

Public Class ThreadWork
   Public Shared Sub DoWork()
      Dim i As Integer
      For i = 0 To 2
         Console.WriteLine("Working thread...")
         Thread.Sleep(100)
      Next i
   End Sub
End Class

Class ThreadTest
   Public Shared Sub Main()
      Dim thread1 As New Thread(AddressOf ThreadWork.DoWork)
      thread1.Start()
      Dim i As Integer
      For i = 0 To 2
         Console.WriteLine("In main.")
         Thread.Sleep(100)
      Next
   End Sub
End Class
' The example displays output like the following:
'       In main.
'       Working thread...
'       In main.
'       Working thread...
'       In main.
'       Working thread...

Remarks

Once a thread is in the ThreadState.Running state, the operating system can schedule it for execution. The thread begins executing at the first line of the method represented by the ThreadStart or ParameterizedThreadStart delegate supplied to the thread constructor. Note that the call to Start does not block the calling thread.

Note

If this overload is used with a thread created using a ParameterizedThreadStart delegate, null is passed to the method executed by the thread.

Once the thread terminates, it cannot be restarted with another call to Start.

Start(Object)

Source:
Thread.cs
Source:
Thread.cs
Source:
Thread.cs

Causes the operating system to change the state of the current instance to Running, and optionally supplies an object containing data to be used by the method the thread executes.

public:
 void Start(System::Object ^ parameter);
public void Start (object? parameter);
[System.Runtime.Versioning.UnsupportedOSPlatform("browser")]
public void Start (object? parameter);
public void Start (object parameter);
member this.Start : obj -> unit
[<System.Runtime.Versioning.UnsupportedOSPlatform("browser")>]
member this.Start : obj -> unit
Public Sub Start (parameter As Object)

Parameters

parameter
Object

An object that contains data to be used by the method the thread executes.

Attributes

Exceptions

The thread has already been started.

There is not enough memory available to start this thread.

This thread was created using a ThreadStart delegate instead of a ParameterizedThreadStart delegate.

Examples

The following example creates a ParameterizedThreadStart delegate with a static method and an instance method.

using namespace System;
using namespace System::Threading;

Remarks

Once a thread is in the ThreadState.Running state, the operating system can schedule it for execution. The thread begins executing at the first line of the method represented by the ThreadStart or ParameterizedThreadStart delegate supplied to the thread constructor. Note that the call to Start does not block the calling thread.

Once the thread terminates, it cannot be restarted with another call to Start.

This overload and the ParameterizedThreadStart delegate make it easy to pass data to a thread procedure, but the technique is not type safe because any object can be passed to this overload. A more robust way to pass data to a thread procedure is to put both the thread procedure and the data fields into a worker object. For more information, see Creating Threads and Passing Data at Start Time.
