title: How do I run a simple bit of code in a new thread?
body: <p>I have a bit of code that I need to run in a different thread than the GUI as it currently causes the form to freeze whilst the code runs (10 seconds or so). </p>
  
  <p>Assume I have never created a new thread before; what's a simple/basic example of how to do this in C# and using .NET Framework 2.0 or later? </p>
