Question

I’ve been coding a Multithreading Application to solve mazes. I start a new thread from my Program Class, Main() method, to begin solving the maze. He will then call a static method to create a new thread if he finds a bifurcation. How can I wait for all the threads running in the background to finish, in order to, for example display a message of completion?

This is an eskeleton of what I’m trying to do:

var explorer = new Explorer(/*Some arguments*/);
var thread = new Thread(explorer.Explore) {Name = "Thread 0"};
thread.Start();

//Thread_0_and_Threads_he_generates_through_static_class.Join()    

Console.WriteLine("I'm done bro.");
Console.ReadKey();

Is there a way to do this? Honestly, first time working with Multithreading in this way, so I apologize for the poor code. Any other information I’ll be more than happy to provide. Thanks in advance.

Perhaps Thread.Join() is what you’re looking for?
