sleep?

[HockeyFan]

I'm new to VB.Net. Wondering how you do a sleep for x milliseconds and then
continue executing on the next line? This was done in VB6 and wondering how
it's done in VB.Net.

RE: sleep?

look at:-
System.Threadin g.Thread.Curren tThread.Sleep( )

Re: sleep?

System.Threadin g

Imports System.Threadin g

public sub mySub

'do something before waiting
Thread.Sleep(20 00) ' sleeps for 2000 milliseconds
'do something after waiting

end sub

Can get you in trouble if you have multiple threads unless you are
careful.

Better simply call 'System.Threadi ng.Thread.Sleep ', which will block
execution of the thread calling the method.

Re: sleep?

I don't remember this being available in VB6?!
I know you could do it using the Win32 Sleep API... but it wasn't part of
VB6.

Re: sleep?

Imports System

Public Module modmain

Sub Main()

Console.WriteLi ne("I wait five seconds")

System.Threadin g.Thread.Sleep( 5000)

Console.WriteLi ne("five seconds have passed")

End Sub

End Module

Re: sleep?

VB6?

The .NET answer had already been posted. I was asking about the OT
mentioning VB6.

Re: sleep?

well in my newsgroup reader the .Net answer wasn`t showed i see now that
this was on a seperate thread


about the vb6 thingy

afaik this can only be done like this

Private Declare Sub Sleep Lib "kernel32" (ByVal dwMilliseconds As Long)

Private Sub Command1_Click( )



Me.Caption = "Your system will sleep 5 sec."

'Sleep for 5000 milliseconds

Sleep 5000

Me.Caption = ""

End Sub

Private Sub Form_Load()

Me.Caption = ""

Command1.Captio n = "Sleep ..."

End Sub
