Thread.Join Method (System.Threading) | Microsoft Learn

Source:: Thread.cs

Source:: Thread.cs

Source:: Thread.cs

Source:: Thread.cs

Blocks the calling thread until the thread represented by this instance terminates or the specified time elapses, while continuing to perform standard COM and SendMessage pumping.

public:
 bool Join(TimeSpan timeout);

public bool Join(TimeSpan timeout);

member this.Join : TimeSpan -> bool

Public Function Join (timeout As TimeSpan) As Boolean

Parameters

timeout: TimeSpan

A TimeSpan set to the amount of time to wait for the thread to terminate.

Returns

true if the thread terminated; false if the thread has not terminated after the amount of time specified by the timeout parameter has elapsed.

Exceptions

The value of timeout is negative and is not equal to Infinite in milliseconds, or is greater than Int32.MaxValue milliseconds.

The caller attempted to join a thread that is in the Unstarted state.

Examples

The following code example demonstrates how to use a TimeSpan value with the Join method.

using System;
using System.Threading;

class Test
{
    static TimeSpan waitTime = new TimeSpan(0, 0, 1);

    public static void Main() 
    {
        Thread newThread = new Thread(Work);
        newThread.Start();

        if(newThread.Join(waitTime + waitTime)) {
            Console.WriteLine("New thread terminated.");
        }
        else {
            Console.WriteLine("Join timed out.");
        }
    }

    static void Work()
    {
        Thread.Sleep(waitTime);
    }
}
// The example displays the following output:
//        New thread terminated.

open System
open System.Threading

let waitTime = TimeSpan(0, 0, 1)

let work () =
    Thread.Sleep waitTime

let newThread = Thread work
newThread.Start()

if waitTime + waitTime |> newThread.Join then
    printfn "New thread terminated."
else
    printfn "Join timed out."

// The example displays the following output:
//        New thread terminated.

Imports System.Threading

Public Module Test
    Dim waitTime As New TimeSpan(0, 0, 1)

    Public Sub Main() 
        Dim newThread As New Thread(AddressOf Work)
        newThread.Start()

        If newThread.Join(waitTime + waitTime) Then
            Console.WriteLine("New thread terminated.")
        Else
            Console.WriteLine("Join timed out.")
        End If
    End Sub

    Private Sub Work()
        Thread.Sleep(waitTime)
    End Sub
End Module
' The example displays the following output:
'       New thread terminated.

Remarks

Join(TimeSpan) is a synchronization method that blocks the calling thread (that is, the thread that calls the method) until either the thread whose Join method is called has completed or the time-out interval has elapsed. In the following example, the Thread1 thread calls the Join() method of Thread2, which causes Thread1 to block either until Thread2 has completed or 2 seconds have elapsed.

using System;
using System.Threading;

public class Example
{
   static Thread thread1, thread2;
   
   public static void Main()
   {
      thread1 = new Thread(ThreadProc);
      thread1.Name = "Thread1";
      thread1.Start();
      
      thread2 = new Thread(ThreadProc);
      thread2.Name = "Thread2";
      thread2.Start();   
   }

   private static void ThreadProc()
   {
      Console.WriteLine("\nCurrent thread: {0}", Thread.CurrentThread.Name);
      if (Thread.CurrentThread.Name == "Thread1" && 
          thread2.ThreadState != ThreadState.Unstarted)
         if (thread2.Join(TimeSpan.FromSeconds(2)))
            Console.WriteLine("Thread2 has termminated.");
         else
            Console.WriteLine("The timeout has elapsed and Thread1 will resume.");   
      
      Thread.Sleep(4000);
      Console.WriteLine("\nCurrent thread: {0}", Thread.CurrentThread.Name);
      Console.WriteLine("Thread1: {0}", thread1.ThreadState);
      Console.WriteLine("Thread2: {0}\n", thread2.ThreadState);
   }
}
// The example displays the following output:
//       Current thread: Thread1
//       
//       Current thread: Thread2
//       The timeout has elapsed and Thread1 will resume.
//       
//       Current thread: Thread2
//       Thread1: WaitSleepJoin
//       Thread2: Running
//       
//       
//       Current thread: Thread1
//       Thread1: Running
//       Thread2: Stopped

let mutable thread1, thread2 =
    Unchecked.defaultof<Thread>, Unchecked.defaultof<Thread>

let threadProc () =
    printfn $"\nCurrent thread: {Thread.CurrentThread.Name}"

    if
        Thread.CurrentThread.Name = "Thread1"
        && thread2.ThreadState <> ThreadState.Unstarted
    then
        if TimeSpan.FromSeconds 2 |> thread2.Join then
            printfn "Thread2 has termminated."
        else
            printfn "The timeout has elapsed and Thread1 will resume."

    Thread.Sleep 4000
    printfn $"\nCurrent thread: {Thread.CurrentThread.Name}"
    printfn $"Thread1: {thread1.ThreadState}"
    printfn $"Thread2: {thread2.ThreadState}\n"

' The example displays the following output:
'       Current thread: Thread1
'       
'       Current thread: Thread2
'       
'       Current thread: Thread2
'       Thread1: WaitSleepJoin
'       Thread2: Running
'       
'

If Timeout.Infinite is specified for timeout, this method behaves identically to the Join() method overload, except for the return value.

If the thread has already terminated when Join is called, the method returns immediately.

This method changes the state of the current thread to include WaitSleepJoin. You cannot invoke Join on a thread that is in the ThreadState.Unstarted state.
