如何在侦听/发送tcp客户端线程和主执行之间同步

我有一个简单的Windows服务，它运行并启动一个线程，通过tcp/ip侦听/接收心跳。我很难找到从TCP线程获取信息和使用该值更新主线程中的内容之间同步的方法。

我尝试使用线程。Sleep方法并继续循环它几次，同时等待从线程返回的答案，然后获得值，但该方法似乎有点不稳定，该方法有时工作，有时不工作。

那么在这两者之间同步的好方法是什么呢?基本上我想做的是启动侦听TCP线程，获取特定值并更新主程序。

附件是receive函数和我用来启动线程的函数。附言:我对tcp/ip和c#完全是一个新手，所以任何对代码或设计的任何部分的评论都是非常欢迎的:)
