How can I tell my C# program to do nothing for 5 secs ?
ie. I want to slow down a process and introduce a deliberate delay.

Won't that lock the app solid for 5 seconds? Better to use a loop with a DoEvents in it that checks for Now + 5seconds, or use a
timer.

Sure, if he does it on the UI thread. The question wasn't that specific.
For long running processes, I'll consider pushing it off on a secondary
