Is there a “Sleep” command? [closed]

Answer 1

Thread.Sleep(milliseconds) should do it for you

Answer 2

Yeap:

Thread.Sleep(milliseconds)

Answer 3

In C#, everything is running on one thread by default. If you want you can create another thread to run a specific piece of code. Then, you can sleep that thread so your app won't freeze.

Answer 4

Thread.Sleep(int milliseconds)

is what you're looking for

Answer 5

Yeah there is.

Thread.Sleep(milliseconds)

For example, if you use Thread.Sleep(5000) , it will make thread sleep for 5 seconds. Read more @ MSDN

Answer 6

You'll want to verify the syntax as I'm just wingin' it, but this will go into a non-blocking loop for the designated amount of time...

// Set the wait time
double waitTime = 5.0;

// Get the current time
DateTime start = DateTime.Now;

// Check the wait time
while(DateTime.Now.Subtract(start).TotalSeconds < waitTime)
{
    // Keep the thread from blocking
    Application.DoEvents();
}

That assumes you're using Windows Forms. If you're using WPF:

//Application.DoEvents();
this.Dispatcher.Invoke(DispatcherPriority.Background, new Action(() => { }));

Again, you'll want to verify the syntax first...
