Dynamically assign function to threads

Question

Want to spawn some threads and assign function to each of them later on in a loop.

Spawning the threads with

var threadList = new List<Thread>(); for (int index = 0; index < 3; index++) { threadList.Add(new Thread(() => { })); }

Now in a loop want to assign function to the threads

for (int index = 0; index < names.Length; index++) { string tempName = names[index]; //check which thread is available //assign a function to the first available thread }

How do i do it?

If i am using a threadpool: how do i get notified when all the threads are done? how do i stop the threadpool to perform any qction in queue?

Check out how other people tried to implement "thread pool" i.e. in this SO question Code for a simple thread pool — Alexei Levenkov

Couldn't you just use ThreadPool instead?

System.Threading.ThreadPool.QueueUserWorkItem(myMethod);

This will assign your methods to an available thread which will be freed up when done.

thanks for the input.. however isn't there disadvantages of ThreadPool? how can i use a method in ThreadPool.QueueUserWorkItem where the parameter is not of object type?
