copied!<p>You should use <code>await</code> keyword to wait for the task to finish. Just put <code>await</code> at the beginning of the line:</p> <pre><code>Task.Factory.StartNew(() => connectUser(username, password, server)); </code></pre> <p>Also, you have to add <code>async</code> keyword before the return type of the function.</p> <p>UPDATE (more info): <code>Task.Factory.StartNew</code> creates a task, starts it and returns it to you. When you don't use <code>await</code> you don't wait for it to finish. This helps for cases that you want to start a bunch of tasks and let them run simultaneously.</p> <pre><code> private static void connectUser(string username, string password, string server) { while (true) { Console.WriteLine("Connecting... " + username); Thread.Sleep(500); } } static void Main(string[] args) { var server = "a.com"; var alts = new string[] { "abc:abc", "bcd:bcd" }; var tasks = new Task[alts.Length]; for (int i = 0; i < alts.Length; i++) { String password = alts[i].Substring(alts[i].IndexOf(":") + 1); String username = alts[i].Substring(0, alts[i].IndexOf(":")); Console.WriteLine("Loaded account: " + username); tasks[i] = Task.Factory.StartNew(() => connectUser(username, password, server)); } Task.WaitAll(tasks); } </code></pre> <p>This is what I suggested before. You create an array of <code>Task</code>s and put the result of <code>Task.Factory.StartNew()</code> into that array. You then use the <code>Task.WaitAll()</code> function to wait for the tasks to finish. Another approach would be to use threads.</p> <p>By the way, I suggest you to use Capital letters for function names, meaning: <code>ConnectUser</code> instead of <code>connectUser</code>.</p>
