Hi,

  what do you want to do with the textbox, just change its content?  You just need to call the Invoke method on the textbox:

string newValue = "hi there";

if (textBox.InvokeRequired)

{

    textBox.Invoke((MethodInvoker)delegate { textBox.Text = newValue; });

}

else

{

    textBox.Text = newValue;

}

If you want to create a parameterized thread then you can use a ParameterizedThreadStart delegate i.e.

Thread t = new Thread(new ParameterizedThreadStart(DoSomething));

t.Start("some string");

private void DoSomething(object data)

{

    string s = data as string;

}
