Waits for all the elements in the specified array to receive a signal, using a TimeSpan value to specify the time interval, and specifying whether to exit the synchronization domain before the wait.
public:
static bool WaitAll(cli::array <System::Threading::WaitHandle ^> ^ waitHandles, TimeSpan timeout, bool exitContext);
public static bool WaitAll(System.Threading.WaitHandle[] waitHandles, TimeSpan timeout, bool exitContext);
static member WaitAll : System.Threading.WaitHandle[] * TimeSpan * bool -> bool
Public Shared Function WaitAll (waitHandles As WaitHandle(), timeout As TimeSpan, exitContext As Boolean) As Boolean
Parameters
A WaitHandle
array containing the objects for which the current instance will wait. This array cannot contain multiple references to the same object.
A TimeSpan that represents the number of milliseconds to wait, or a TimeSpan that represents -1 milliseconds, to wait indefinitely.
true
to exit the synchronization domain for the context before the wait (if in a synchronized context), and reacquire it afterward; otherwise, false
.
true
when every element in waitHandles
has received a signal; otherwise false
.
The waitHandles
parameter is null
.
-or-
One or more of the objects in the waitHandles
array is null
.
-or-
waitHandles
is an array with no elements and the .NET Framework version is 2.0 or later.
The waitHandles
array contains elements that are duplicates.
The number of objects in waitHandles
is greater than the system permits.
-or-
The STAThreadAttribute attribute is applied to the thread procedure for the current thread, and waitHandles
contains more than one element.
waitHandles
is an array with no elements and the .NET Framework version is 1.0 or 1.1.
timeout
is a negative number other than -1 milliseconds, which represents an infinite time-out.
-or-
timeout
is greater than Int32.MaxValue.
The wait terminated because a thread exited without releasing a mutex.
The waitHandles
array contains a transparent proxy for a WaitHandle in another application domain.
The following code example shows how to use the thread pool to asynchronously create and write to a group of files. Each write operation is queued as a work item and signals when it is finished. The main thread waits for all the items to signal and then exits.

Remarks
If timeout
is zero, the method does not block. It tests the state of the wait handles and returns immediately.
If a mutex is abandoned, an AbandonedMutexException is thrown. An abandoned mutex often indicates a serious coding error. In the case of a system-wide mutex, it might indicate that an application has been terminated abruptly (for example, by using Windows Task Manager). The exception contains information useful for debugging.
The WaitAll method returns when the wait terminates, which means either all the handles are signaled or a time-out occurs. If more than 64 handles are passed, a NotSupportedException is thrown. If the array contains duplicates, the call will fail.
Note
The WaitAll method is not supported on threads in STA state.
The maximum value for timeout
is Int32.MaxValue.
The exitContext
parameter has no effect unless this method is called from inside a nondefault managed context. The managed context can be nondefault if your thread is inside a call to an instance of a class derived from ContextBoundObject. Even if you're currently executing a method on a class that isn't derived from ContextBoundObject, like String, you can be in a nondefault context if a ContextBoundObject is on your stack in the current application domain.
When your code is executing in a nondefault context, specifying true
for exitContext
causes the thread to exit the nondefault managed context (that is, to transition to the default context) before executing this method. The thread returns to the original nondefault context after the call to this method completes.
Exiting the context can be useful when the context-bound class has the SynchronizationAttribute attribute. In that case, all calls to members of the class are automatically synchronized, and the synchronization domain is the entire body of code for the class. If code in the call stack of a member calls this method and specifies true
for exitContext
, the thread exits the synchronization domain, which allows a thread that's blocked on a call to any member of the object to proceed. When this method returns, the thread that made the call must wait to reenter the synchronization domain.
