Question

I have the code below (but doesn’t work) .. i need to wait till the thread complete its job then execute then next command

private void btnPaste_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        if (copiedItems != null)
        {
            if (copy)
            {
                System.Threading.Thread thPASTE = new System.Threading.Thread(PasteFromCopy);
                thPASTE.Start(currAddress);
                lock (this)
                {
                    btnRefresh_Click(sender, e);
                }
            }
            else
            {
                System.Threading.Thread thPASTE = new System.Threading.Thread(PasteFromMove);
                thPASTE.Start(currAddress);
                lock (this)
                {
                    btnRefresh_Click(sender, e);
                }
            }
        }
    }

the paste should do some code then after that i should refresh the list im showing.. i need to do it this way, because it doesn’t work for me when i call the refresh in the thread
how do i do it ??

You could use the Join method on the thread instance which will block the calling thread until the other thread has finished.
