Blocking a thread

[Zack00000]

Hi,

I'm new with programming and I have a question relating thread. Please look at the following example:

....
thread = new Thread(new ThreadStart(Ope n));
thread.Start();
....

private void Open()
{
try
{
while (true)
{
receiver = new StreamReader(cl ient.GetStream( ));
input = receiver.ReadLi ne();
......

I noticed that the thread is paused (or blocked) until "receiver" receive data. Now my question is how to replicates this behavior?
Example:

int DoSomething()
{
int result = 0;
// do something here
return result;
}

void ThreadFunction
{
while(true)
{
// process here
int b = DoSomething() <-- i want the thread to "stop" here until there is actually something to do
// process here some more
}
}

Thanks in advance.

Check out System.Threadin g.WaitHandle.Wa itOne. Is this the behaviour you need? Check out MSDN for sample code.

Thanks in advance.

also please use code<#> tags for the code, to make it easier for members/experts to assist you with your development problems.

Thanks for the link pootle, it is what I'm looking for. And sorry for the missing code tags joedeene.
