How to get thread execution complete event

Question

I am creating a new thread to call a function in it.

Thread th = new Thread(My_Function);
th.start();

I wanna do something on completion of this thread execution.

Is there any way of doing this ?

Answer 1

At least two possible solutions:

BackgroundWorker

Use a BackgroundWorker to execute your code, and use the RunWorkerCompleted event to execute the code that is run after completion.

A BackgroundWorker wraps the event based asynchronous pattern into a very easy to use mechanism, complete with progress reporting and cancellation. See this BackgroundWorker tutorial and this SO answer .

Tasks (.NET 4.0 and above)

Use a Task object, and use the ContinueWith method to define the code that needs to be executed after completion of the first task.
