return value in Thread

[Praveen Raj V]

How could the return value captured on Thread.
for ex.

private string Method(int a)
{
   string str = a.ToString();
}

How this method could be run by thread, and the return value captured.
Is it possible? If not why?
What is the reason behind it?

Use this code

static string str;
void method(int a)

{
str = a.ToString();

}

I'm no expect in threading; however, I'm not sure if a static member is the correct approach here. I think you can set a callback for the thread so that when it finishes, you can do some processing. You might be able to return a value doing that.

If you do use the above method, you should probably make sure you use locking to prevent contention on the variable.
