Application pausing: sleep or timers?

I would like to pause an application while the GUI display a Label saying
"Logging in...".

System.Timers
System.Windows. Forms.Timer
System.Threadin g.Timer
System.Threadin g ==Thread.Sleep

Which one?
In the last case Sleep must be applied to what(Applicatio n, this or what)?
Thanks,
Luigi.

Thread.Sleep is most adequate for pausing the aplication. "Sleep" is a
static method of the class System.Threadin g.Thread, so you just invoke it as
System.Threadin g.Thread.Sleep( milliseconds), and you don't "apply" it to
anything. Internally it gets applied to the current thread.

Are you sure you want to pause the appp?

That means that NOTHING is executed in the app while it's paused.
I think that what you want is to display a Splash screen while you load your
app.

If this is so take a look in the archives, there are a lot of examples of
how to implement one.

This is a follow-up on my previous thread concerning having the program wait for a certain date and time and then executing some code when it gets there. My question is; can I use the Sleep function from kernel32 to accomplish this? My concern is that this function takes milliseconds where my program needs to be accurate to within 5 minuets, and delays may be as long as a number of days, months or whatever. Would I run into many problems...

My first thought was to call WorkerThread.Suspend but the help cautions against this (for good reason) because the caller has no control over where the thread actually stops, and it might have a lock pending, for example. I want to be able to stop a thread temporarily, and then optionally resume it or stop it for good.

Hi all, I have developed a vb.net console application which will run some code every seconds. To get this working I used a timer "System.Timers". When I start my console application it exits within a second. So I added the line: "Console.Read()". Everything seemes to run fine but after a few days the application stopped. Without an error. I think it has something to do with the lifetime of the "Console.Read()". Is this right?

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
