Update The currently suggested way to start a Task is simply using Task Run    Task Run      gt  foo       Note that this method is described as the best way to start a task see here  Previous answer  I like the Task Factory from System Threading Tasks  You can do something like this   Task Factory StartNew      gt            Whatever code you want in your thread       Note that the task factory gives you additional convenience options like ContinueWith   Task Factory StartNew      gt      ContinueWith  result    gt            Whatever code should be executed after the newly started thread        Also note that a task is a slightly different concept than threads  They nicely fit with the async await keywords  see here

The method that you want to run must be a ThreadStart Delegate   Please consult the Thread documentation on MSDN   Note that you can sort of create your two-parameter start with a closure   Something like   var t   new Thread      gt  Startup port  path      Note that you may want to revisit your method accessibility   If I saw a class starting a thread on its own public method in this manner  I d be a little surprised

Your example fails because Thread methods take either one or zero arguments  To create a thread without passing arguments  your code looks like this   void Start            do stuff    void Test         new Thread new ThreadStart Start   Start        If you want to pass data to the thread  you need to encapsulate your data into a single object  whether that is a custom class of your own design  or a dictionary object or something else  You then need to use the ParameterizedThreadStart delegate  like so   void Start object data        MyClass myData    MyClass myData         do stuff    void Test MyClass data        new Thread new ParameterizedThreadStart Start   Start data

public class ThreadParameter                       public int Port   get  set                public string Path   get  set                Thread t   new Thread new ParameterizedThreadStart Startup    t Start new ThreadParameter     Port   port  Path   path      Create an object with the port and path objects and pass it to the Startup method

The following ways work      The old way of using ParameterizedThreadStart  This requires a    method which takes ONE object as the parameter so you need to    encapsulate the parameters inside one object  Thread t   new Thread new ParameterizedThreadStart StartupA    t Start new MyThreadParams path  port        You can also use an anonymous delegate to do this  Thread t2   new Thread delegate         StartupB port  path       t2 Start        Or lambda expressions if you are using C  3 0 Thread t3   new Thread      gt  StartupB port  path    t3 Start      The Startup methods have following signature for these examples   public void StartupA object parameters    public void StartupB int port  string path
