Using a Thread in a Web Application to Access a Database

Hi. Is it possible to use a thread to interact with a database?

I want to do some logging of user transactions but I don't want to hold up the user while he/she is interacting with the website.

I have found some examples tf using threads in a Windows application, but very little for web-applications.

I really could use an example where a thread starts aparameratized function, and how to set this up.

So far, as a test, I have tried:

Thread t =new Thread(new ThreadStart(Send_Email_Edit_Value));

t.Start(transaction, List_Name, IB_Acct, Current_Acct, Current_Value, strNewValue, Current_Unit, New_Unit);

The function I am trying to start is:

privatevoid Send_Email_Edit_Value(string transaction,string List_Name,string IB_Acct,string Current_Acct,string Current_Value,string strNewValue,string Current_Unit,string New_Unit)

{

this.transaction = transaction;

this.List_Name = List_Name;

this.IB_Acct = IB_Acct;

this.Current_Acct = Current_Acct;

this.Current_Value = Current_Value;

this.strNewValue = strNewValue;

this.Current_Unit = Current_Unit;

this.New_Unit = New_Unit;

string mailTo =address@mail.com;

//do stuff

}

But I get compilation errors:

Send_Email_Edit_Value(string, string, string, string, string, string, string, string)' does not match delegate 'void System.Threading.ThreadStart()'

AND

IB_Data.cs(633): No overload for method 'Start' takes '8' arguments

Any Ideas or sample code?

Thanks in advance,

Frank
