Execute few methods in parallel

Question

I have 3 methods and I want to execute them in parallel. Unfortunatelly, I cannot use Task Parallel Library, because I work on NET 3.5 Framework.
How to use parallelism in Net 3.5? I don't want to install any extra open source libraries etc.

Depending on what kind of processing your methods need to do and if they update GUI elements, you can use the following classes:

I just need mathematical computation. Each computation takes ~50 ms on my cpu, so I want to do 4 computations at once. What should I use? ThreadPool? – apocalypse Apr 03 '14 at 13:11
Updated the answer, the answers in that question should help you figure out which method would be ideal. – coolmine Apr 03 '14 at 13:12

your methods must be Static to use multi threading first import following

using System.Threading;

then follow the following structure

Thread t1,t2,t3;
public static void method1()
{
   //do some thing here
}

public static void method2()
{
   //do some thing here
}

public static void method3()
{
   //do some thing here
}

public void StartworkinParallel()
{
     //initialize all threads here
    t1=new Thread(new ThreadStart(method1));
    t2=new Thread(new ThreadStart(method2));
    t3=new Thread(new ThreadStart(method3));

    // start them to simulate parallelism

    t1.Start();
    t2.Start();
    t3.Start();
}

feel free to ask if any thing went wrong!
