What can I do?

CNews cnews = new CNews();

Thread thread = new Thread(new ThreadStart(cnews.readRss));
thread.Start();

public void readRss()
{
    RssReader rssReader = new RssReader();
    rssReader.FeedLoaded += new EventHandler(rssReader_FeedLoaded);
    rssReader.ItemAdded  += new EventHandler(rssReader_ItemAdded);
    rssReader.Error      += new RssReaderErrorEventHandler(rssReader_Error);

    RssFeed feed = rssReader.Retrieve("C:\\news.xml");


    if ( feed.ErrorMessage == null || feed.ErrorMessage == "" )
    {
        int i;
        for(i=0;i<itemsFound;i++)
        {
            ItemDescription[i] = feed.Items[i].Description;
        }

    }
}
