How do I pass a method as the parameter of another method using linq expressions

Question

I want to create a method that runs another method in a background thread. Something like this:

void Method1(string param)
{
    // Some Code
}

void Method2(string param)
{
    // Some Code
}

void RunInThread(AMethod m)
{
   //Run the method in a background thread
}

Answer 1

If your method has return value use Func delegate otherwise you can use Action delegate. e.g:

void Method1(string param)
{
    // Some Code
}

void Method2(string param)
{
   // Some Code
}

void RunInThread(Action<string> m)
{
   //Run the method in a background thread
}

Then you can call RunInThread this way:

RunInThread(Method1);
RunInThread(Method2);

Answer 2

I like Task.Run When I just want a little bit of code to run in the background thread. It even looks like it has nearly the same signature as what you're trying to define. Lots of other overloads too.

Task.Run(()=>{ 
      //background method code 
   }, TResult);
