)

public: void Start( 
   PingThreadStart* worker,

   Object* state
) 

public:
void Start( 
   PingThreadStart^ worker,
   IPAddress^ localAddress,
   Ping.Type type,
   Object^ state
) 

Parameters

worker

PingThreadStart delegate specifying the function to execute.

localAddress

The local IP interface desired.

type

The Ping.Type of Echo technology desired.

state

Information to pass to the worker delegate function; can be null.

This method provides a convenient means for executing blocking functions on a worker thread. Applications with a UI thread should use this technique to execute processes (like multiple Pings) that can block the UI thread.

Unhandled exceptions occurring on the worker thread will be caught and reported by the Error event.
