C # Attaching Threads

Question

I'm trying to get a good understanding of multithreading in C #, and I'm a bit confused about the applicability of the Thread.Join method. Microsoft says that it "blocks the calling thread until the thread terminates." Two questions:

• In the following example, which thread is actually blocked and the other is running to terminate?

• Not the fact that one thread is blocked, but the other runs to completion, actually deprives the target of several threads? (Therefore, I assume that you want to join only in certain situations. What could it be?)

static int Main()
    {
      Alpha oAlpha = new Alpha();
      Thread oThread = new Thread(new ThreadStart(oAlpha.Beta));
      oThread.Start();
      oThread.Join();
    }

I should also note that it is entirely possible that I am not doing something right here.

Answer 1

Main , oThread .

, , .

Answer 2

• , , , , . , Start() Join(). , .
