RunSta()

static void NanoByte.Common.ThreadUtils.RunSta ( Action  execute )

inlinestatic

Executes a delegate in a new ApartmentState.STA thread. Blocks the caller until the execution completes.

Parameters

execute

The delegate to execute.

This is useful for code that needs to be executed in a Single-Threaded Apartment (e.g. WinForms code) when the calling thread is not set up to handle COM.

RunSta< T >()

static T NanoByte.Common.ThreadUtils.RunSta< T > ( Func< T >  execute )

inlinestatic

Executes a delegate in a new ApartmentState.STA thread. Blocks the caller until the execution completes.

Template Parameters

T	The type of the return value of execute .

Parameters

execute

The delegate to execute.

Returns

The return value of execute

This is useful for code that needs to be executed in a Single-Threaded Apartment (e.g. WinForms code) when the calling thread is not set up to handle COM.

StartAsync()

static Thread NanoByte.Common.ThreadUtils.StartAsync ( ThreadStart  execute, [Localizable(false)] string?  name = null  )

inlinestatic

Starts executing a delegate in a new thread suitable for WinForms.

Parameters

execute	The delegate to execute.
name	A short name for the new thread; can be null.

Returns

The newly launched thread.

StartBackground()

static Thread NanoByte.Common.ThreadUtils.StartBackground ( ThreadStart  execute, [Localizable(false)] string?  name = null  )

inlinestatic

Starts executing a delegate in a new background thread (automatically terminated when application exits).

Parameters

execute	The delegate to execute.
name	A short name for the new thread; can be null.

Returns

The newly launched thread.
