How can I wait for a thread to finish with .NET?

by

I’ve never really used threading before in C# where I need to have two threads, as well as the main UI thread. Basically, I have the following.

public void StartTheActions()
{
  // Starting thread 1....
  Thread t1 = new Thread(new ThreadStart(action1));
  t1.Start();

  // Now, I want for the main thread (which is calling `StartTheActions` method)
  // to wait for `t1` to finish. I've created an event in `action1` for this.
  // The I wish `t2` to start...

  Thread t2 = new Thread(new ThreadStart(action2));
  t2.Start();
}

So, essentially, how can I have a thread wait for another one to finish? What is the best way to do this?
