In this demonstration I used Thread [class](https://www.mindstick.com/blog/165/generic-class-in-c-sharp) which is used to create object of Thread, ThreadStart class which work as delegate for Thread class and work for starting point for current thread and finally I used [Sleep](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/95806/how-to-get-better-sleep)() [method](https://www.mindstick.com/forum/166/webservice-method) of thread class. When we want to [pause](https://www.mindstick.com/interview/1349/how-do-you-handle-start-pause-continue-and-stop-calls-from-scm-within-your-application) [execution](https://www.mindstick.com/blog/178/synchronous-and-asynchronous-command-execution-in-c-sharp-dot-net) of current thread then we call Sleep() method of thread class and pass interval in milliseconds. Following example demonstrate use of ThreadStart class for creating thread in c#. ``` using System;using System.Collections.Generic;using System.Linq;using System.Text;using System.Threading; namespace ThreadStartDemo{ class ThreadDemo { static void Main(string[] args) { Thread th; //Declaring reference variable of thread class. //Creating object of ThreadStart class. ThreadStart thStart = new ThreadStart(DoWork); for (int i = 1; i < 5; i++) { Console.WriteLine("Starting Thread : {0}", i); //Creating object of thread class and passing thread start //object as parameter to thread class. th = new Thread(thStart); th.Name = i.ToString(); //Starting new thread by calling Start() method. th.Start(); } Console.ReadLine(); } ///

/// DoWork method is passed to ThreadStart constructor. /// This methood is used to display total iteration of current /// executing thread and thread name. /// Thread.Sleep() method is used to Pause executing thread. ///

static void DoWork() { for (int count = 1; count <= 10; count++) { Console.WriteLine("Thread {0} : iteration : {1}", Thread.CurrentThread.Name, count); Thread.Sleep(10); } } }} ``` After executing this class you will see following [output](https://www.mindstick.com/forum/161319/how-does-the-print-function-handle-output-in-python). This output may be vary depending upon priority set to thread. ##### Starting Thread : 1 ##### Starting Thread : 2 ##### Thread 1 : iteration : 1 ##### Thread 2 : iteration : 1 ##### Starting Thread : 3 ##### Starting Thread : 4 ##### Thread 3 : iteration : 1 ##### Thread 4 : iteration : 1 ##### Thread 2 : iteration : 2 ##### Thread 1 : iteration : 2 ##### Thread 4 : iteration : 2 ##### Thread 3 : iteration : 2 ##### Thread 1 : iteration : 3 ##### Thread 3 : iteration : 3 ##### Thread 2 : iteration : 3 ##### Thread 4 : iteration : 3 ##### Thread 1 : iteration : 4 ##### Thread 2 : iteration : 4 ##### Thread 4 : iteration : 4 ##### Thread 3 : iteration : 4 ##### Thread 1 : iteration : 5 ##### Thread 3 : iteration : 5 ##### Thread 4 : iteration : 5 ##### Thread 2 : iteration : 5 ##### Thread 1 : iteration : 6 ##### Thread 2 : iteration : 6 ##### Thread 4 : iteration : 6 ##### Thread 3 : iteration : 6 ##### Thread 1 : iteration : 7 ##### Thread 4 : iteration : 7 ##### Thread 2 : iteration : 7 ##### Thread 3 : iteration : 7 ##### Thread 1 : iteration : 8 ##### Thread 4 : iteration : 8 ##### Thread 2 : iteration : 8 ##### Thread 3 : iteration : 8 ##### Thread 1 : iteration : 9 ##### Thread 4 : iteration : 9 ##### Thread 2 : iteration : 9 ##### Thread 3 : iteration : 9 ##### Thread 1 : iteration : 10 ##### Thread 4 : iteration : 10 ##### Thread 3 : iteration : 10 ##### Thread 2 : iteration : 10 **\** Thanks for [reading](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/126273/books-commonly-found-on-college-reading-lists) this blog. --- Original Source: https://www.mindstick.com/blog/295/implementation-of-threadstart-class-in-c-sharp Copyright © MindStick Software Pvt.
