Similar code for timer needed

[Derek Hart]

I have the following code in Access. I use it to delete some files, but I
need the timer because the system may still have a hold on the files. This
works nicely to clean up a directory. What is similar code for VB.Net?

PauseTime = 5
start = Timer
Do While Timer < start + PauseTime
On Error Resume Next
RmDir MergeFolder
If Dir(MergeFolder, vbDirectory) = "" Then Exit Do
Loop

Hello Derek,

The System.Threading.Thread.Sleep method will be helpful to you. It blocks
the current thread for the specified number of milliseconds. You may get
more detailed info about it from the link below
