C# Spawn Multiple Threads for work then wait until all finished

I have two method calls that I want to call using two threads. Then I want them to wait till method executions get completed before continuing. My sample solution is something like below.

    public static void Main()
    {   
        Console.WriteLine("Main thread starting.");
        String[] strThreads = new String[] { "one", "two" };

        String ctemp = string.Empty;
        foreach (String c in strThreads)
        {
            ctemp = c;
            Thread thread = new Thread(delegate() { MethodCall(ctemp); });
            thread.Start();
            thread.Join();
        }

        Console.WriteLine("Main thread ending.");
        Console.Read();
    }


    public static void MethodCalls(string number)
    {
        Console.WriteLine("Method call " + number);
    }

Is this will do the job? Or is there another better way to do the same thing?

I’d look into running your method via ThreadPool.QueueUserWorkItem and then using WaitHandle.WaitAll to wait for all of them to complete.
