How to start a UI thread in C#

Question

I know I can start a new worker thread from with .NET. But how do I start a new UI thread (like in MFC)?

I don\'t mind if the solution is restricted to Windows boxes

Answer 1

Use Application.Run - it starts a message loop in the current thread. There are overloads to take a form to start with, or an application context, or neither. (If you want to do this for a new thread, you need to create the thread and start it in the normal way, and make it call Application.Run.)
