Delaying execution in VB ?

Hi All,

I am facing a problem with VB.NET while making a delay function. I have some experience of C++. In C++ we could write a "delay(int a)" function and call it from main with different values of "int a". and it will delay the execution for a second or two or more.


something like this:      delay(1000000);
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
void delay(int a)
{
      for(int i=0; i<=a; i++)
            {     }
}
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////


now my quesion is how can we make such a delay procedure to work in VB.Net. i know its not elegent looking but it works fine in C++ and easy too.
 Someone told me this
" use the command “Thread.CurrentThread.Sleep(2000)” which will give 2 seconds of delay on whatever machine we use. Make sure to add the “Imports System.Threading” statement at the top of the source code."

I tried to implement it but i am unable to do so. Please help me solve the problem.

If you can just implement the delay in this simple program i;ll consider my job done !

'code begins

 Private Sub Button10_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button10.Click
        TextBox5.Text = "MAK"
      'i want to call some delay function which causes some delay in execution of text "SAM" in textbox2.
        TextBox6.Text = "SAM"
            'calling delay function again
        TextBox7.Text = "MUK"

    End Sub
