Java: Simple multithreading a piece of code

    for (int i = 0; i < num_of_runs; i++) {
        exec.submit(new Runnable() {
            @Override
            public void run() {

C#: Anonymous delegates asynchronously

this.BeginInvoke(new Action(delegate
{ 
 MessageBox.Show("Asynchronous :D"); 
}));

System.Action is a framework-defined Delegate successor, that does not return anything and doesn't take any arguments. You should use this, instead of fucking around with inheriting from System.Delegate.
