How can I wait for a thread to finish with .NET?

Question

I\'ve never really used threading before in C# where I need to have two threads, as well as the main UI thread. Basically, I have the following.

public void S         


        

Answer 1

When I want the UI to be able to update its display while waiting for a task to complete, I use a while-loop that tests IsAlive on the thread:

    Thread t = new Thread(() => someMethod(parameters));
    t.Start();
    while (t.IsAlive)
    {
        Thread.Sleep(500);
        Application.DoEvents();
    }
