Async MultiThreading

[michaeltorus]

Hi

If I start a bunch of asynchronous threads using a deletegate.beingInvoke, what is the prefered way to have the main thread wait until all threads have returned before continuing ...

I simply don't like the idea of an exmpty while loop, and even worse a while loop with a Thread.Sleep statement in it ....

At the moment I use a private int to count how many Threads I start, and decrement it each time a thread finishes (using locking of course) .... it all works fine but I just don't feel this is the best way to do it ....

I thought of using n event, but something still has to tell the main thread to wait until the event is fired ????

Thanks

Mike

Aren't you using callback delegates?
