Solution 3

There are generally three ways:

System.Threading.Thread (see its constructor and the method Run); see http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.threading.thread.aspx[^];
Using thread from the thread pool, see http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/3dasc8as(v=VS.100).aspx[^];
Using System.ComponentModel.BackgroundWorker; see http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.componentmodel.backgroundworker.aspx[^].

In all three cases you run your code in a separate thread; no matter how the thread is obtained, they are all just equivalent threads; you can use System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread and other properties and methods of the class System.Threading.Thread.

Never used BackgroundWorker; thanks

You are welcome. I never use BackgroundWorker, too. This is not for real men. :-)
