<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I have just started using the Visual Studio C++.NET. &nbsp;I used to use Visual Age by IBM. &nbsp;My program uses mutitasking and I can't get the _beginthread correct.<br />
<br />
My command is &quot;_beginthread(update_db_th<wbr />read,0,(vo<wbr />id *)thread_index);&quot; &nbsp;where update_db_thread is the name of the thread and thread_index is an integer i am passing to the thread. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
I get the following error &quot;c:\C++\MAIS704\MAIS704.cp<wbr />p(944): error C2664: '_beginthread' : cannot convert parameter 1 from 'void (int)' to 'void (__cdecl *)(void *)'. &nbsp;<br />
Do I have to cast the name or am I doing something else wrong. &nbsp;??? &nbsp;If so how does the cast statement look.<br />

Problem with _beginthread and Visual Studio C++.Net

C++ is an intermediate-level general-purpose programming language, not to be confused with C or C#. It was developed as a set of extensions to the C programming language to improve type-safety and add support for automatic resource management, object-orientation, generic programming, and exception handling, among other features.
