Following exampel demonstrates how can we create a new thread using C#.

i. Create aThreadStart delegate.
ii. Create instance of Thread by passing this delegate as a parameter.
iii.Call the Thread.Start method (i.e. WorkerFunction).

using System.Threading;
Thread newThread = new Thread(new ThreadStart(WorkerFunction));
newThread.Start();

The WorkerFunction could be defined as follows.

public void WorkerFunction()
{
  try
  {
    // work
  }
  catch (Exception ex)
  {
    // catch exception
  }
}
