Hey guys!
I have searched for this for a long time and after i tried somethings i figured out i found a way to Sleep ur program without it will stop the whole program

we all know the Thread.Sleep Method, but that sucks

i made this little count down;


Syntax / Code:

int counter = 0

private void timer1_Tick(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (counter < Convert.ToInt32(tbSeconds.Text))
{
counter++;
lblCounter.Text = Convert.ToString(counter);
}
else
{
tbWorked.Text = "WORKED!";
timer1.Stop();
}
}

private void bMakeitrain_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
timer1.Start();
}

I think if you already are advanced with coding in C#, you should know now how to "pause" your script with this method :)

Have fun with trying guys and good luck!

I found the best way, multithreading!

could you learn me that :x?, im sure there are still 100th more ways, but i just wanted to share with you guys :p

A timer is also a thread lol. 😉

Also saying the Thread.Sleep method suck...
It's great when working with multithreading, because you won't slip your cpu up by putting one Thread.Sleep(1) inside your while loop within your thread.

You're obviously new, I can see that and for that reason you shouldn't throw such statement and your program is not sleeping at all...

Yes i am new, i am studing C# on school now and i realy like to work with it :) tnkx for the feedback

That's just great :) If you have any questions or need help, then feel free to PM me :)

its call Multithreading.
and the best thing its that timer1_Tick
running in the main thread

A while loop would be better, but multithreading is still a great option.

you cant pause ur action with a while loop... also when a while loop is to long, it will freeze ur program until its finished

Putting the loop in a new thread, would be better. 😅

Bad coding sorry less use that Convert.ToInt32() in a try/catch block.

Uhm...why not use a backgroundworker ?

if this while ... in diffrent thread.
it can be done.

DateTime start = DateTime.Now;
while (DateTime.Now.Subtract(start).Seconds < 10)
{
Application.DoEvents();
System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(1);
}

I win.

while (DateTime.Now.Subtract(start).Seconds < 10)
{
Application.DoEvents();
System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(1);
}

No you don't. Yours will still sleep the app.

I win.

Code

System.Threading.Thread newThread = new System.Threading.Thread(new ThreadStart(delegate {
int count = 10;
while (++count < 10)
{
//lolwut
    System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(1);
}
}));
newThread.Start();
