How can i make my program to loop for .5 second before moving on to next line of code.
Is it the same as using Thread.Sleep(500)
Yes, it's running on a thread but i don't know doing that how it's gonna affect other threads.
Appreciate
wait time

Thread.Sleep puts the currently executing thread to sleep. Say you have thread 1 (main thread) and Thread 2(target reading thread)
{
//In Main
Thread t2 = new Thread(new ThreadStart(this.PollTraget));
t2.Start();
//Main thread is running doing its work
}
void PollTraget()
{
//Here t2 executes, polling target repeatedly
//Send handshake
Thread.Sleep(5000);//Casues t2 to sleep and possible context switch to main thread
//t2 becomes runnable
}
Hope this answers your question.
