Timer and Thread.Sleep()

[Ryan Liu]

Hi,

For the taskes which will be executed once a while, I used to write an
endless loop, do the job then call Thread.Sleep().

I just notice threre is server-based Timer. What are the advantages to use
that?

Thanks a lot!
Ryan


BTW, my previous two posts never show up, is this mailing list regulated or
what?

Ryan,

Well, the advantage here is that you are not wasting a thread which is
effectively doing nothing.
