Delay

[David Webb]

Hi,

I am writing an app and I need to simulate an 8 second delay. I've
looked at the timer but can't seem to get it to delay - I'm sure there
is something wrong with how I've done it. Does anyone have a delay sub
routine or something similar that they could post (VB.NET CF please!)
that will delay for a specified period of time?

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

David.

How about Sleep( DWORD ms ) from the Win32 API?

Or using System.Threading.Timer to invoke a callback routine (one shot
timer):

m_Timer = new Timer(new TimerCallback(myTimerCallback), this, Seconds *
1000, Timeout.Infinite); // One shot timer for Seconds sec

private void myTimerCallback(object state)
{
// do something here
}

I think this will do the trick

System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(8000)

Hi

How accurate is this method?

Since it's likely based on an OS timer, it's guaranteed not to be less than
the time specified, though it could easily be (and often is) more.
