   IntPtr lpThreadAttributes, uint dwStackSize, ThreadStartDelegate
   lpStartAddress, IntPtr lpParameter, uint dwCreationFlags, IntPtr lpThreadId);

[DllImport("kernel32.dll")]

Tips & Tricks:

Please add some!

Sample Code:

Here's a sample of using CreateRemoteThread from C#: http://blogs.msdn.com/jmstall/archive/2006/09/28/managed-create-remote-thread.aspx

The key is to use Marshal.GetFunctionPointerForDelegate to get an IntPtr to the method that will serve as the thread proc.
