Starting a Thread targeting method with parameters

Lets say you want to start a thread. How would you do it? Thread  T1 =  new   Thread ( new   ParameterizedThreadStart (SomeMethodName)); Restriction imposed by .NET is that Method which T1 targets can have only one parameter of object type. Hence, above code will work only if method signature is: public   static   void  SomeMethodName( object  o) But what if I want to invoke a method like: public   static   void  xyz ( int  a,  int  b) ??? Answer is to use delegates here and start thread as: Thread  T3 =  new   Thread ( delegate () { xyz(3, 4); }); or Thread  T3 =  new   Thread (() => xyz(3, 4));
