help using sleep in VB

[smbrown]

I want to notify the user that the record was updated in the DB when an update is made, then clear the message from the text box. I tried the following, but the message is never displayed. Seems like I have done this before, but now I can't find the code I used. What am I missing?

Me.Mistake.Text = "The record was added to database"
Con.Close()
System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(3000)
Me.Mistake.Text = ""

Thanks,
SMBrown

That will run on the server, not the client. You will have to use AJAX or javascipt.
