Well, if you are using the Compact Framework, the thread class's Join method does not take a Timespan object as an argument. It takes an integer value that represents the maximum number of milliseconds that you want it to wait for the thread to join on.

Say that you want to wait on your thread to end for up to 5 seconds (aka 5000 milliseconds). It would be like this:

myThread.Join(5000)

oh i got it. so for this threadField.Join(new System.TimeSpan(MiliSeconds * 10000)); , i will have to change to

threadField.Join(10000); right..

what if it was nanoseconds

and also it doesnt allow + sign..

threadField.Join(new System.TimeSpan(MiliSeconds * 10000 + NanoSeconds * 100));

Since the Join method takes an integer (int) value that represents the number of milliseconds, you need to convert nanoseconds into milliseconds, to do that you will need to divide your number of NanoSeconds by 10^6 to convert that into milliseconds.

Instead of:

threadField.Join(new System.TimeSpan(MiliSeconds * 10000 + NanoSeconds * 100));


it would be:


threadField.Join(MiliSeconds * 10000 + NanoSeconds * 100)


This is assuming that your converting everything so that they are in milliseconds.
