Once started, a thread's IsAlive property returns true, until the point where the thread ends.
A thread ends when the delegate passed to the Thread's constructor finishes executing.
Once ended, a thread cannot restart.
You can wait for another thread to end by calling its Join method.
Here's an example:
using System;
using System.Threading;
class ThreadTest
{
static void Main()
{
Thread t = new Thread(Go);
t.Start();
t.Join();
Console.WriteLine("Thread t has ended!");
}
static void Go() {
for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++)
Console.Write("y");
}
}
The output:
yyyyyyyyyyThread t has ended!
