How do I pass a struct to a backgroundworker thread in C++/CLI

struct 开发者_如何学编程ArgumentList {
        int x;
        string text1;
};

/////////////////////////////////////////

ArgumentList arg1={12,"text123"}
WorkerThread->RunWorkerAsync(arg1);

I want to passed arg1 but the compiler says "error C2664: 'void System::ComponentModel::BackgroundWorker::RunWorkerAsync(System::Object ^)' : cannot convert parameter 1 from 'ArgumentList' to 'System::Object ^' "

System::Void backgroundWorker2_DoWork(System::Object^  sender, System::ComponentModel::DoWorkEventArgs^  e) {
    //Do stuff with e->Argument
    ArgumentList passedarg=(ArgumentList)e->argument; //'type cast' : cannot convert from 'System::Object ^' to 'ArgumentList'
    int y=passedarg.x
    string text2=passedarg.text1
    //...

        }

Looks like you need to declare your struct as a managed struct by using the keyword ref

ref struct ArgumentList {
        int x;
        string text1;
};

That way it will correctly be inherited from the Object type ( the base object for all managd classes ) that RunWorkerAsync(Object) expects
