In earlier versions two parameters were required when creating a delegate for a static method: zero (null) and the method address. For an instance method, all versions require two parameters: the instance variable and the method address.</para></block></remarks><summary><attribution license="cc4" from="Microsoft" modified="false" /><para>Represents the method that executes on a <see cref="T:System.Threading.Thread" />.</para></summary></Docs><Members /><TypeExcluded>0</TypeExcluded></Type>
