What is the difference between C# Thread.Sleep() and threadreference.Join()?

+4  A: 

Sleep causes the current thread to sleep for the specified amount of time. Join will wait (block) the current thread until the referenced thread completes.

+8  A: 

Sleep is a method which suspends a thread for a period of time. It acts on a single thread.

Join is a method which suspends a thread until another thread has finished. It can be configured to sleep infinitely until that thread completes or for a finite period of time or until the other thread completes. This is a method for synchronization between multiple threads.
