Hi eager,

You can delay the current thread using the following code.

Thread.Sleep(20000);

The thread class is in the namespace System.Threading

Hello

What actually you mean Delay,you want you application process should stop for a while for ,only a particular functionality to be delayed while the other application should work, if you want to stop your complete process then you can use sleep(); else you have to code your self for a particular procedure.

Hello

If its a web application you can use directly add rotator

to do this in windows application i think timer control is usefull to solve your

problem ,keep the interval property as much as you need ,and code in timer

tick event so that after every particular event of time your logic will be executed

i hope this is useful for you .

Good Luck
