Sure -- have your thread set some public property on itself as the
last thing it does in its Run event.
Or, if you prefer, check the .State property, which will be 4
(Thread.NotRunning) when the thread has finished.
But these approaches don't really answer his question, which is a way
to detect when a thread finishes. This seems to be a trickier problem.
One way is to use a Timer to check the State property from time to
time. Or perhaps one could do some trick with a semaphore so that one
thread is blocked until the specific thread releases the semaphore.
