converted code function

hello there,
I have converted this function from c# into vb.net but for some reason I get an error on the "new Thread"
saying "Error      1      Syntax error."
how can I get it right?

        public void Decode(DecodeDelegate callback, byte[] img, int timeout)
        {
            DecodePayload payload = new DecodePayload();
            payload.Callback = callback;
            payload.Image = img;
            payload.Timeout = timeout;
            new Thread(DecodeWithCallback).Start(payload);
        }

Select allOpen in new window

into

		Public Sub Decode(callback As DecodeDelegate, img As Byte(), timeout As Integer)
			Dim payload As New DecodePayload()
			payload.Callback = callback
			payload.Image = img
			payload.Timeout = timeout
			New Thread(AddressOf DecodeWithCallback).Start(payload)
		End Sub
