How to stop the process for a while ?

If i call invalidate() two times, how can I stop the process for some time
between them? that is, do updating ----> invalidate() -->do updating---->
pause--> invalidate()

I update my data in my program 2 times , i want to see what is the change of
the srceen in these 2 update , but i found the srceen change too fast so i
can't see what is the change of the first update , do there exist any class
that can stop the process for while?

You can let your current Thread sleep
System.Threadin g.Thread.Sleep( number of milliseconds you want to be idle);
This is the simplest way

If you are in the debugger you could always put a break point in the code at
the end of the update. Just be sure not to have VS.net full screen so your
app doesn't get covered. Great use for multiple monitors.

Hi, I am writing a service which takes a long time to stop after the OnStop call is given by the Services Snap-in. The problem is I cannot cut down on the time that it takes to Stop. The Service snap-in gives me the error saying that the service did not respond to the Stop call in a timely fashion. So is there any method by which I can get around this problem. Thanks Prasad

Can somebody explain to me why my process continues to run after I halt execution? This plays havoc with debugging. I expect to be starting a new instance at the beginning of a loop and the first break point hit is thousands of itterations into the process (from a previous instance). I get a very random step behavior. Know I am watching a database continue to be updated 10 minutes after I stopped the front-end process. I have to stop IIS...

Hi My interface calls a C++ dll that runs a slow calculations. So I call the dll inside a BackgroundWorker thread, and that all works fine. But how can I stop the thread if the user wants to? I can not tell the dll to stop so CancelAsync() will not work? I need a way to simply kill the "thread" since nothing in it will be used if the user wants to cancel

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
