Event loop to not exit my program

[julien]

Hello,
I need to add a waiting loop to my program so I don't exit right a way.
This loop has to be non-blocking (the program has to handle other
events), and shouldn't take much resources (not a busy waiting).

It is a command line program, so I don't get the event loop of any
graphical library.

I looked for "event loop" on Google but couldn't find anything for C#/.Net

Any idea?

Thank you
Julien

Hi Julien,
try this:
in the Dispose method before calling the base.Dispose() add a for loop with
the delay and in the for loop body write only Application.DoEvent, this is
a cruel way of doing it but that came out of the top of my head at this
time.
Hope that helps.

I assume you have a secondary thread running (or more) you could lock on an
object and when the lock is released you could exit. You can use a
WaitHandle object to wait on multiple objects etc.
