Wait Command

[EnemyGateIsDown]

Hi guys,

I have an application which needs to scan a database every X seconds and then sleep for X seconds before scanning again.

Can anyone tell me how to make my application sleep for x seconds before continuing the loop?

Any help is as always greatly appreciated.

Cheers,

Chris

try this for 1 second

System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(1000)

I think what you need is a timer just set the time between ticks (in milliseconds) and then put your code in the eventhandler ontick (I think) and then you need to start the timer in the load event of the form (or somewhere else) like this. timer1.start.

Watch out there are 3 differnt kinds of timers and each has it's own methods.
