Here Is my Example

C#

   private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            ThreadClass th = new ThreadClass();

            th.ThreadMth(8, 10, (report) => 
            {
                this.Invoke(new Action(() =>  //invoke main Thread
                {
                    listBox1.Items.Add(report);
                }));

            });
        }
    }

    public class ThreadClass
    {
        private delegate int myDelegate(int x, int y);

        Action<int> myActionReport = (v1) => { }; //Lambda

        public void ThreadMth(int xX, int yY, Action<int> actionReport)
        {
            myDelegate Sum = (x, y) =>
                {
                    Thread.Sleep(5000);
                    return x + y;
                };

                 Sum.BeginInvoke(xX, yY, result =>
                     //Lamnda pass int x, int y, AsyncCallBack 
                     //using Lambda exp., & pass Sum (delegate) as object
                     {
                        myDelegate ss = (myDelegate)result.AsyncState;
                        actionReport((int)ss.EndInvoke(result));
                     }, Sum);
       }
    }
</int></int>

So, you build delegates and methods with same signature( point delegate to method). if you want new thread delegate.BeginInvoke;
I like to use Lambda, just like in code.
Sorry for my English (I am from Latvia)
good luck!

this is how I do.
