How to pass parameters to ThreadStart method in Thread?

by

The simplest is just

string filename = ...
Thread thread = new Thread(() => download(filename));
thread.Start();

The advantage(s) of this (over ParameterizedThreadStart) is that you can pass multiple parameters, and you get compile-time checking without needing to cast from object all the time.
