Sleep causes your thread to release the CPU for the requested time, so it would be dead for that period.<br />
<br />
You can do what you want by using a System.Timer. Start it up, and it will fire an event each time the ttimer fires. You can do what you need in the event handler.<br />

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I wrote a program that does something every 10 seconds. &nbsp;I am using a sleep, but the program seems to lock up duding the sleep. &nbsp;Is there a better way to do this so the program is not locked up and will respond to a button press? &nbsp;Basically I start the process wiht one button and it loops 1000 times until another button is pressed and a flag is set to false. &nbsp;Currently I have to keep pressing the stop button since the program seems to lock.<br />

c# better sleep

The .NET Framework is not specific to any one programming language; rather, it includes a library of functions that allows developers to rapidly build applications. Several supported languages include C#, VB.NET, C++ or ASP.NET.

.NET Programming

C# is an object-oriented programming language created in conjunction with Microsoft’s .NET framework. Compilation is usually done into the Microsoft Intermediate Language (MSIL), which is then JIT-compiled to native code (and cached) during execution in the Common Language Runtime (CLR).
