c# - Error accessing ThreadStart object inside a function -

i stuck @ peculiar issue , want in resolving this.

i have following code below

    public partial class frmsoftjobprocess : form         {             private bool instancefieldsinitialized = false;             public frmsoftjobprocess()             {                 initializecomponent();                 load += frmjobprocess_load;                 formclosing += frmjobprocess_formclosing;                 if (!instancefieldsinitialized)                 {                     initializeinstancefields();                     instancefieldsinitialized = true;                 }              }             private void initializeinstancefields()             {                 plotlensprofilethreaddelegate = new threadstart(plotlensprofilethreadfunction);                 plotlensprofilethread = new thread(plotlensprofilethreaddelegate);                 plotlensplanthreaddelegate = new threadstart(plotlensplanthreadfunction);                 plotlensplanthread = new thread(plotlensplanthreaddelegate);             }             private threadstart plotlensprofilethreaddelegate;             private thread plotlensprofilethread;             private threadstart plotlensplanthreaddelegate;             private thread plotlensplanthread; ------------------- ----------------------- } 

the class above has following function

 private   void plotlensprofilethreadfunction()         {             mold_power_suite.model.frontendstructures.errorflagtype errorflag =frontendstructures. initerrorflag();             graphics inmedia = this.piclensplot.creategraphics();             plotlensprofilethread plotref = new plotlensprofilethread(); // how can access this? cant create object field.             // var plotref = plotlensprofilethread;             try             {                 plotref.threadingrphref = inmedia;                 plotref.threadinconcavepaths = concavepaths;                 plotref.threadinconvexpaths = convexpaths;                 plotref.threadplotoptions = plotoptions.profileview;                 plotref.threadstepsixdata = jobdata.stepsixdata;                 plotref.threadstepfivedata = jobdata.stepfivedata;                 plotref.threadstepfourdata = jobdata.stepfourdata;                 plotref.threadstepthreedata = jobdata.stepthreedata;                 plotref.threadsteptwodata = jobdata.steptwodata;                 plotref.errorflag = errorflag;                 plotref.meridianconcave = meridianconcave;                 plotref.meridianedge = meridianedge;                 plotref.meridianconvex = meridianconvex;                 zedgraphcontrol1.graphpane.curvelist.clear();                 plotref.zedgraphtype = zedgraphcontrol1;                 plotref.plotlensprofile();             }             catch (system.threading.threadabortexception e)             {                 system.threading.thread.resetabort();             }         } 

the whole source code in vb , has been converted c# using telerik online tool.

i adding original method in vb better understanding

private sub plotlensplanthreadfunction()         dim errorflag errorflagtype = initerrorflag()         dim inmedia graphics = me.piclensplot.creategraphics         dim plotref new plotlensplanthread()         try             plotref.threadingrphref = inmedia             plotref.threadinconcavepaths = concavepaths             plotref.threadinconvexpaths = convexpaths             plotref.threadplotoptions = plotoptions.planview             plotref.threadstepsixdata = jobdata.stepsixdata             plotref.threadstepfourdata = jobdata.stepfourdata             plotref.errorflag = errorflag             plotref.meridianconcave = meridianconcave             plotref.meridianedge = meridianedge             plotref.meridianconvex = meridianconvex             plotref.plotlensplan()         catch ex exception             system.threading.thread.resetabort()         end try     end sub 

i getting error in c# statement plotlensprofilethread plotref = new plotlensprofilethread(); error plotlensprofilethread' 'field' used 'type'

can me out ?

thanks

you getting error in said line plotlensprofilethread plotref = new plotlensprofilethread(); cause in class defined thread instance same name can seen below

thread plotlensprofilethread = new thread(new frmsoftjobprocess(), .... 

in method, plotlensprofilethread custom class or something? way should use different name either thread or type.
