7 Secrets for ESL learners

Secret #3: Listen! Listen! Listen!

Students sometimes say: "I don't listen to the news on the radio because it's too fast for me and I can't understand it." That's a pity! When it's too fast for you, when you can't understand it, that is exactly when you NEED to listen to it!!! How can you improve if you don't listen and practise?
When you were a baby, did you understand your own language? When you were three weeks old, or two months, or 1 year, did you understand everything? Of course not! But you learned to understand your own language by listening, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. After that, you learned to speak. Then you learned to read. And then you learned to write. But listening came first!

Pass Variables to a New Thread in C#

Since the ThreadStart delegate doesn't accept parameters, you need to set the parameters somewhere before you create the new thread. What we'll do is create a small class to store the variables, and then create a function in the class to pass into ThreadStart.

class myObject
{
public string myvariable;

public void RunThread()
{
// use myvariable here
}
}

You should really use properties instead of a public variable, but this makes the code sample simpler. The method that you pass into ThreadStart must be void, and accept no parameters.

Here's the sample code for creating the object, passing in a variable, and then using the object to create the new thread:

myObject m = new myObject();
m.myvariable = "test data that the thread will need";

// Create the new thread, using the function
// from the object we created

Thread t = new Thread(new ThreadStart(m.RunThread));
t.IsBackground = true;
t.Name = "UpdateBookmarkThread";
t.Start();

Now when the thread is started, it will have access to the variables stored in it's own object instance. This technique is very useful if you need to open multiple threads, passing in different information to each.
