Thread: Threading VS 2005

OK, I'm using VS 2005 and I am having a difficult Time in creating and starting a thread. Below is my code that should start a thread, but the last output on the debugger says "A first chance exception of type 'System.IndexOutOfRangeException' occurred in FTPClient.exe" and the process doesn't kick off.

Code:

private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
      Thread newThread = new Thread(LoadConfig);
       newThread.Start();
}

The below code is what I wrote in C# VS 2003 and it works.

Code:

Thread newThread =  new Thread(new ThreadStart(Go));
newThread.Start();

Any answers or ideas are greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Josh

Throws a lot of errors when I use the pointer.
Error 1 Cannot take the address of, get the size of, or declare a pointer to a managed type ('System.Threading.Thread')
Error 2 Pointers and fixed size buffers may only be used in an unsafe context
Error 3 Cannot implicitly convert type 'System.Threading.Thread' to 'System.Threading.Thread*'
Error 4 Pointers and fixed size buffers may only be used in an unsafe context
Error 5 Operator '.' cannot be applied to operand of type 'System.Threading.Thread*'

Thanks,

you can try something like this ...

Code:

            Thread newThread = new Thread(new ThreadStart(doSomething));
            newThread.Start();

oh sorry i didnt see this ...

The below code is what I wrote in C# VS 2003 and it works.
Code:

Thread newThread = new Thread(new ThreadStart(Go));
newThread.Start();

however ... seems you might have an array out of index in "LoadConfig" or elsewhere ...

System.IndexOutOfRangeException

Throws a lot of errors when I use the pointer.

you can use the "unsafe" keyword to use pointers ...

Code:

    class Program
    {
            unsafe public void test()
            {
                int* pointer;
                int digit = 100;
                pointer = &digit;
                Console.WriteLine("{0}", pointer);
            }

        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            test();
        }
    }

just make sure you "allow" it in your complier options

That is not the point, however. Unsafe code is, well, unsafe, and underlies many restrictions, as do programs that use it.

ya well, a comment was made about pointers and i just simply made a reply, and "unsafe" code was added to c# for a reason like performance, flexibility and direct memory management. I think c# would be a weaker language without them.
