Best way to wait for a background thread to finish processing in C#

Question

I have a background thread. If the background thread is busy, I want to wait for it to finish its work and then continue with next request. I have implemented it in the following way. Process is the name of the background thread.

 if (process.IsBusy)
 {
     do
     {
         isProcessBusy = process.IsBusy;
     } while (isProcessBusy == false);

     SetIsDirty(status, GetContext());
 }
 else
 {
     SetIsDirty(status, GetContext());
 }

Is this the best way or are there other ways to implement this kind of logic?

Answer 1

The Thread class has a method named Join that blocks until the thread on which it is being called exits.
Take a look at here.
