Thread.Sleep() in a Portable Class Library

Question

The MSDN docs say Thread.Sleep() can be used in a portable class library. The compiler says otherwise. What are my alternatives besides a spin-loo

Answer 1

System.Threading.Tasks.Task.Delay(ms).Wait();

works as a drop-in replacement for

System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(ms);

This works fine when porting a legacy code base.
