Quick Question about NETMF threading

for some reason, my code wont accept


string message = "someTestStuff";
Thread t = new Thread (Handle);
  t.Start (message);

where the Handle method is:


public static void Handle(string message)
{
//do whatever
}

it forces you to use a lambda expression i.e.


string message = "someTestStuff";
Thread t = new Thread (()=> Handle(message));
  t.Start ();

why is this?

I think you have to because your thread method takes arguments?

To expand on what Gus said: NETMF’s version of the Thread class doesn’t allow you to pass an argument to the thread like its big brother from the full framework (see [url]Microsoft Learn: Build skills that open doors in your career). :slight_smile:

aha! I see… but thank you!
