Browse All TopicsHi,
In my code I am trying to send an email in it's own thread.
I create a SmtpClient object
SmtpClient client = new SmtpClient(PropertyData.In
Then I try and send it in a thread
Thread tEmail = new Thread(new ThreadStart(client.Send(ms
tEmail.IsBackground = true;
tEmail.Start();
However I get an error saying ThreadStart expects a method ....am I not providing the Send method of the SmtpClient object?
Thanks

You're right that the method should be parameter-less. If you look at my solution above, by passing the anonymous delegate, you would be passing a parameter-less method into the threadstart, but client.Send(msg) has to send the message, hence the delegate wrapper.
To the Author, I tested that solution yesterday.

Change that one line to this
Thread tEmail = new Thread(new ThreadStart(delegate { client.Send(msg); }));
