Wait for a thread to complete in Metro

In Metro, may I know how do you wait for a thread to complete. In conventional desktop app, to wait for the thread to complete, I will use

thread.Join()

However, how about in Metro?

// public void getSignalProcessingRunnable(IAsyncAction source) {}
IAsyncAction ThreadPoolWorkItem = Windows.System.Threading.ThreadPool.RunAsync(getSignalProcessingRunnable);
// How to wait for thread to complete?

Using await won't work.

If await is not working, you can also try using Task.WaitAny Method from MSDN

Task.WaitAny Method, Waits for any of the provided Task objects to complete execution.

Task.WaitAny(ThreadPoolWorkItem.AsTask());

You can also refer to this link: How to Start/Stop/Wait for a Thread

Also have a look on this good reference No Threads for you ! (in metro style apps)
