How do you halt a program while waiting for a KeyDown?

12
Hi!
I'm currently writing a poker program i .net compact framework. In one method I have a while-loop that goes through every player until everyone is finished betting. What I need is some way to halt the while-loop until the user makes a decision (presses a key) and then continue. How can I do this?

Thanks!
