Create a new thread in VB.NET

There’s two ways to do this;

1. With the AddressOf operator to an existing method

   Sub MyBackgroundThread()
     Console.WriteLine("Hullo")
   End Sub
   

   And then create and start the thread with;

   Dim thread As New Thread(AddressOf MyBackgroundThread)
   thread.Start()
   

2. Or as a lambda function.

   Dim thread as New Thread(
     Sub() 
       Console.WriteLine("Hullo")
     End Sub
   )
   thread.Start()
