Creating Threads in VB.NET

Submitted by donbermoy on Saturday, June 21, 2014 - 18:02.

Today in VB.NET, I will teach you how to create threads. We all know that a thread is a basic processing unit in our computer to which an operating system allocates processor time, and more than one thread can be executing code inside a process. Thus, threads have priority. It is just like a racing program. Now, let's start this tutorial! 1. Let's start with creating a Windows Form Application for this tutorial by following the following steps in Microsoft Visual Studio: Go to File, click New Project, and choose Console Application. Note: We will not design any interface because we will program it using vb console application. 2. In your code module, put this code below.

Imports System.Threading
Module Module1
 
    Private Sub CarA()
        Dim I As Integer
 
        For I = 0 To 250
            System.Console.Write("Car A" & vbCrLf)
            'delay of 150 ms
            Thread.CurrentThread.Sleep(150)
        Next
    End Sub
 
    Sub CarB()
        Dim I As Integer
 
        For I = 0 To 250
            System.Console.Write("Car B" & vbCrLf)
           'delay of 250 ms
            Thread.CurrentThread.Sleep(250)
        Next
    End Sub
 
    Sub CarC()
        Dim I As Integer
 
        For I = 0 To 250
            System.Console.Write("Car C" & vbCrLf)
            'delay of 100 ms
            Thread.CurrentThread.Sleep(100)
        Next
    End Sub
 
    Public Sub Main()
        'Create threads
        Dim A As System.Threading.Thread = New Threading.Thread(AddressOf CarA)
        Dim B As System.Threading.Thread = New Threading.Thread(AddressOf CarB)
        Dim C As System.Threading.Thread = New Threading.Thread(AddressOf CarC)
 
        'create threads
        A.Start()
        B.Start()
        C.Start()
    End Sub
 
End Module

We used the package System.Threading to access the thread class. We have created three methods named CarA, CarB, and CarC that has an I variable that will write their Car names and has a delay of with the sleep method and its time in millisecond. If variable I will reach 250 then the console application will close after executing the threads. Next, in our Main, we have created the three threads using the addresses of the methods that we have created above. And to start the thread, we use the Start method of the thread class.
