I have a thread that I join using the overload Join method that accepts a timeout parameter and I see something like the following in the output window:

The thread 'The Name of my thread' (0xd88) has exited with code 0 (0x0).

I added some debug/test code to the method that is running in the thread to print stuff to the console. Here is the code I added:

Console.WriteLine("Counter:"+Counter.ToString());

Now the text in the output window will be something like this:

Counter:0
Counter:1
Counter:2
The thread 'The Name of my thread' (0xd88) has exited with code 0 (0x0).
Counter:3

The code is running fine and everything is OK, but why does the line Counter:3 show up after the thread has exited?

Any information on the subject is welcome.

Thanks,
Einar
