Threading related question

hi dear..

i have to do the following program...

Label1.Text="Work Started..."
Threading.Sleep(5000);
Label1.Text="1st work finished. and next one started";
Threading.Sleep(5000);
Label1.Text="All work finished";
 

i assume that this code should show the result.

"Work Started..."

after 5 second

"1st work finished. and next one started"

after 5 second

"All work finished"


NOOOOO but i get only last result "All work finished" and that too after 10 seconds


Why?? please help me?? i m in urgent

thank u in advance..

Because your sleeps block your MAIN thread, therefor it will not execute till the last sleep is over.. but as u set it to another one (= all work finished) you wont notice the previous ones

hope this helped, but i'm pretty sure this is the problem
