Thread sleep with double

[raulbolanos]

Hello guys,

I want to wait a certain time but it wont be always integer values, but decimals also.

For example I want to wait half second and in my program it's used like 0.5.

Do you have any solution to this?

Best regards,
Raul Bolanos.

The System.Threading.Thread.Sleep method's parameter is in milliseconds, so to wait for half a second do

System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(500);

I would use the thread's sleep method. The parameter is ms and fine enough:

So in your case 0.5 seconds would be:

Thread.Sleep(500);

Just multiply your value times 1000.

float delay = 0.5;

Threading.Sleep( delay x 1000 );

Keep in mind that the Sleep( ) method is approximate and the system doesn't guarantee that your thread will be woken up at the precise moment the time expires.

Btw, hopefully you are using Sleep( ) in a non-UI thread because otherwise you will hang the UI.
