ThreadPool or BeginInvoke()?

[fred]

I'm writing an application invoking asynchon methods.

I envision using the .NET thread pool since it matches
well my needs.

There is (at least) 2 methods to do that:
using ThreadPool class directely or using the BeginInvoke
() of a delegate.

Does anybody knows any advantages from one method to
another?

thank you

See http://www.pobox.com/~skeet/csharp/threads/threadpool.shtml for
detailed comments, but:

o QueueUserWorkItem only allows a single parameter, of type object
o QueueUserWorkItem doesn't allow you to specify a callback
o QueueUserWorkItem doesn't require EndInvoke or anything similar

(The reverse is true for BeginInvoke in each case.)

thank you.

I did not see that
QueueUserWorkItem doesn't allow you to specify a callback

this is enough to convinct me for using BeginInvoke()

thank you
