In C#/.NET it is few ways to wait for thread finished.

1. `Thread.Join` method example

Edit

See this link.

2. `Monitor.Pulse` and `Monitor.Wait` example

using System;
using System.Threading;
​
namespace Test
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            Object locker = new Object();
​
            Thread thread = new Thread(() =>
            {
                Thread.Sleep(2000);
​
                lock (locker)
                    Monitor.Pulse(locker);
            });
​
            thread.Start();
​
            lock(locker)
                Monitor.Wait(locker);
​
            Console.WriteLine("Thread job done...");
        }
    }
}

Output:

xxxxxxxxxx
 
Thread job done...

Notes:
Monitor.Wait and Monitor.Pulse methods should be called from lock block.
Monitor.Wait method waits until Monitor.Pulse method is called.
