Parameters

millisecondsTimeout

A int containing the number of milliseconds to wait for the thread to terminate.

Returns

true if the thread has terminated; false if the thread has not terminated after millisecondsTimeout has elapsed.

Exceptions

Type	Reason
ArgumentOutOfRangeException	The value of millisecondsTimeout is negative and is not equal to Timeout.Infinite .
System.Threading.ThreadStateException	The caller attempted to join a thread that is in the ThreadState.Unstarted state.

Remarks

Note: If Timeout.Infinite is specified for millisecondsTimeout, this method behaves identically to Join (), except for the return value.

Join cannot be invoked on a thread that is in the ThreadState.Unstarted state.

This method changes the state of the calling thread to include ThreadState.WaitSleepJoin.
