Multithreading with Unknown Number of Processes 1

[schwarem]

I am trying to write an application that is multithreaded. It loads a list of files and kicks off a new thread for each one. The files are displayed in a datagrid with a % complete to indicate how much has been processed. The number of files being processed is dynamic. How do I multithread a dynamic number of threads and handle the events they throw to update the progress? I can do it for one thread or a definitive number of threads, but I can't figure out how to do it for a dynamic number of threads.

Something like this?

private sub Button1_Click(...) handles button1.click
  for i as integer = 1 to 100
    dim del as new delMyThreadedMethod(Addressof MyThreadedMethod)
    del.begininvoke(value1, value2, nothing, nothing)
  next i
end sub


private delegate sub delMyThreadedMethod(Parm1 as object, Parm2 as object)

private sub MyThreadedMethod(Parm1 as object, Parm2 as object)
  'stuff
end sub

Just replace the for loop with a loop that goes through what ever list of files you have.
