C# Thread.sleep

Thread.Sleep method is in the Thread class and is a static method that receives a parameter. You must include the using directive for Process.Threading or use the full name of the method invocation, which is Process.Threading.Thread.Sleep. No need to create a new topic () to use the Sleep method is static since. This example shows the runtime behavior of the Thread.Sleep method. NET Framework.

Program that sleeps (C#)

using System;
using System.Diagnostics;
using System.Threading;

class Program
{
    static void Main()
    {
        //
        // Demonstrates three different ways of calling Sleep.
        //
        var stopwatch = Stopwatch.StartNew();
        Thread.Sleep(0);
        stopwatch.Stop();
        Console.WriteLine(stopwatch.ElapsedMilliseconds);
        Console.WriteLine(DateTime.Now.ToLongTimeString());

        stopwatch = Stopwatch.StartNew();
        Thread.Sleep(5000);
        stopwatch.Stop();
        Console.WriteLine(stopwatch.ElapsedMilliseconds);
        Console.WriteLine(DateTime.Now.ToLongTimeString());

        stopwatch = Stopwatch.StartNew();
        System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(1000);
        stopwatch.Stop();
        Console.WriteLine(stopwatch.ElapsedMilliseconds);

        //
        // Bonus: shows SpinWait method.
        //
        stopwatch = Stopwatch.StartNew();
        Thread.SpinWait(100000 * 10000);
        stopwatch.Stop();
        Console.WriteLine(stopwatch.ElapsedMilliseconds);
    }
}

Output

8:14:43 AM     Time after Sleep(0)                     
4999           ElapsedMilliseconds after Sleep(5000)   
8:14:48 AM     Time after Sleep(5000)                  
999            ElapsedMilliseconds after Sleep(1000)   
3144           ElapsedMilliseconds after SpinWait(Int32)
