Hi,

I'm looking for a way to have my app wait a few seconds before performing
the next statement.
I've tried Thread.Sleep(), but that makes my app non-responsive sometimes.
Is there another way to do this?

Thanks
 
For a definate period of time. Sleep is the only way to do this but it
blocks the thread as you seen. Why not put the operations into a thread you
want to do at a set pace then use sleep there, that way youre application
will not be unrepsonsive.

Maybe you could use the IAsyncResult interface along with Thread.Sleep?

Maybe you mean to use Asynchronous Delegates?
"dawn", please, read about it in MSDN. I want to mention that you should
call Thread.Sleep() in the fuction you are calling and not in the
calling code.

Dmirty.
