Will thread.join() block other clients also?

Question

In an asp.net web application, say everytime the user makes the request, and the page loads, a thread is fired off that uses thread.join() to block execution until it's finished.

Say this thread takes 10 seconds to complete.

Does this mean that if 5 totally seperate users make a request to this page, mere miliseconds after the last, does this mean the last user is going to wait 50 seconds to finish their request? Or is each client request threaded?

Answer 1

Typically, other users will not be blocked.

However, the call to Join ties up a thread pool thread. Once all threads are in use, subsequent requests must wait for a thread to become available.
